Yeah, I was. Very interesting.
I noticed a couple of things/mistakes:

1. When he was comparing the size of the .223, .308 and .50BMG he said that the .308 was used in the AK-47. (It's not. The AK-47 cartridge is similar in overall size to our .223. I think the US uses the .308 for sniping and the M14.)

2. When comparing the rate of fire of the semiauto Barrett to the bolt action sniping rifle they said that reloading the bolt rifle can take up to 20 seconds.
