My impression (which may be worth exactly what you're paying for it) is that he tries to approach a review like a "typical" gun buyer. He starts by examining and describing the subject gun straight from the box in great detail, eventually taking it to the range to be wrung out. He takes so long that his videos often get broken up into two or three segments. He does get rather tedious, but that's a subjective call. Since the shooting part would be on the last segment, it might get overlooked.
Thankfully, the internet's a big place, with lots of choices for information.

You don't always need to know a lot about a subject to know when you should question advice. If I was searching for a video on YOUTUBE detailing how to change a tire or paint my house, I would not choose this guys video to follow.
Sometimes, "buyer beware" means that you have to do your "due dilligence". People who buy things or take advice because an internet video, gun store clerk, or used car salesman told them to simply get what they paid for.
About the Lt Col thing, I've not been in the military so those of you who have can set me straight . . . the way that guy talks, he sounds like a 21 yr old. I've not seen many of his videos, but I distinctly remember him calling himself a Lt Col and also remember the one where he is with his son and says to the kid, "Let's see you bust those targets, YO!"
Yo? This is just one example but his speech generally is along these lines, and my point is that the few military officers I've met don't talk like 21 yr olds who just finished listening to the latest rap CD. Again, my experience is limited so perhaps this is more common than I realize.
Nothing against the guy, just makes me wonder.
He really does have access to huge amounts of gear, while having the mental faculties and some of the experience needed to tell at a basic level when something's crap - as well as the honesty to say so when it is - but he's so incredibly long winded, annoying and egotistical that I can't stand watching his videos anymore.
