Olympus Arms Vulcan "Zero Recoil AR-10" Review

James Reeves
by James Reeves

In this video, I, James Reeves, give you my honest and unfiltered review of the Olympus Arms Vulcan AR with its innovative reciprocating barrel system. After two years of covering this gun at the SHOT Show, where it generated tons of excitement, it was finally time to put the Vulcan to the test. Spoiler alert: I was let down—big time. While the design is groundbreaking and promises reduced recoil, things went south quickly during my testing. At $6,800, this is a huge disappointment, and I’m here to give you the full story. This is simultaneously one of the most innovative and underwhelming rifles I’ve ever reviewed. Watch and decide for yourself if the Vulcan is worth the price.

    reciprocating barrel systems have been around for almost 100 years. The havent bee used much in rifles because the movement of the barrel degrades accuracy.

      I dunno, man, the M82/M107 seem to do okay for themselves.


      ...Bit much for a .308, though.

    No reply: well, a short reply is better than nothing at all. By the way did or will they refund your money?
