Trust me, Castoreum is a hell of a lot better than if they tried the alternate, Santorum

So basically any time I have vanilla ice cream with 'natural flavouring' there's a good chance I'm eating beaver arse milk?!

(Note, already burning when video starts but I thought I'd throw it out there.)

It looks like its not so much the barrel but the other materials around it, the plastic for the AR, the wood for the AK. The AR towards the end also gets noticeably worse in its full auto performance until finally failing to fire on automatic most likely due to increased friction

I have to agree...they don't seem to know what they're talking about....but
What might happen is the plastic/wood in direct contact with the barrel could burst into flames. I would guess that's why most (all?) true machine guns are all metal construction, but some idiots convert semi-auto guns with wood and plastic parts to full auto...asking for trouble.
And yes, while some 'silencers' don't do much, others drastically reduce both noise and muzzle flash. The mouse fart is overdoing it, but so is the demonstration shown where is seems there's almost no reduction.
What they missed is the idea that you can install a 'silencer' with 3/4 turn in 1/4 of a second. A real 'silencer' that's removable (really called a suppressor, because that's what they do) will have fine machine threads and need 5-10 full turns to be seated. Most movie 'silencers' would fly off with the first shot, silencing nothing and probably damaging the gun.

They flavor it differently based on the regional customer tastes? Well that sucks, what if I wanted to try something different? What if my tastes aren't the same as the consumer average?

I would guess it would be the machine efficiency part. They don't want competition seeing and copying the efficient design.
