Not sure what the videos are supposed to prove.
if you must limpwrist, shoot a revo.

I think the idea he's putting out there is that it's interesting just how much limp wristing can change how a firearm function. Which is somewhat interesting, as I have a Glock 21, that as far as I can tell, cannot be limp wristed. Rather, it won't fail if you do.

Based on years of loading low power soft shooting reloads, the propensity for limpwrist failure is directly related to the velocity/pressure of the ammo used.

in other words, bunny farts and strong/weak hand are more likely to not cycle correctly than are full power
factory ammo used in the same manner.

some pistol designs are less tolerant than others.
For instance, the CZ75 platform is very tolerant of limpwristing, where the HK USP series is not.

That, or carry a revolver.

I'm in this camp as well. While high-rate footage of cycling is always a nice-to-have, certain firearms being prone to limp-wrist (or under-powered ammo) induced failures and the mechanisms by which they happen is a pretty well-known quantity. Am I missing some new insight gained from this, or is it just reinforcing what we already know?

I think the latter. But still. If redundancy is going to be a thing... ya'll better be prepared to hate me to death!

It seems to prove you can limp wrist just about any gun but a Glock.

I saw a similarly scientific video that shows most revolvers fail to function after only 6 shots.

Yes!
If that does not work I believe there are some medium blue pills one can take, so try TWO just in case one does not work and that should give ya something (?) to hang onto, or not?

Frankly , at first, I found them boring but was surprised with some of the results , example Sig 226 of which I know chambered in 9 will turn into a Jam-O-Matic and not just not failing to lock open after last round either.
I was also surprised about the Beretta of which I have no experience with at all and was surprised with the 3rd Gen Smith run , of which I never thought of doing or had limp wristed it.

So, I though other less experienced "Brothers ~ Sisters in Arms" may find these vids helpful as the pistol group of the 2A movement has been growing tremendously and was never really meant for the "Masters of Knowledge."

First time I have heard of this, learn something new everyday.

My wife could limp wrist the hell out of a Glock when I first took her shooting.
IIRC it ejected the spent but wouldn't strip a new round.

any auto shooter should do out of form drills.. The pistol is just half the equation, altho the major half for sure. We need to be able to shoot with the pistol to the chest, under the arm, in the gut, wherever.. give it a try..

It used to amaze me how many people would bring back pistols complaining of jamming and half of them where due to limp wristing the gun. The smaller the gun the more the return rate. We would take them out and they would run fine for us. Operator error is all to common.

I've seen auto loading, gas operated shotguns do it. And inertia driven shotguns are known to do it. If you fail to provide a sufficient structure for the firearm to recoil into, the action will decelerate accordingly. Which can case issues with function. I can shoot my daughters shotgun with very light handloads with no problems. She can't get 90% of them to cycle the next round into the chamber. Since she is smaller and gets pushed around by the gun more, the gun is taking away inertia from the action and it jams. Insert factory loads, problem goes away since they have extra velocity to spare they can still cycle the action.
