  • Died During Production: Keith Ratliff, producer and member of the FPS Russia team who was responsible for finding many of the rare guns depicted (not to be confused with Kyle Myers, the actor) was shot in the head in January 2013, in what seemed to be an homicide. Afterwards, the channel stopped posting videos for approximately a month, until Kyle returned on February 19th of that year with a new episode, dedicated to Keith.
  • Executive Meddling: In his episode about AR500 body armor, Kyle mentions wanting to show his confidence in the armor by putting it on and having his buddy shoot him, but YouTube (and his fans, and his agent, and his buddy) refused to go through with it. In a case of Tropes Are Not Bad, this was probably for the best.
  • Fake Russian: He's not actually Russian. The accent is a Shout-Out to a former co-worker of his, who is Russian.
  • Role-Ending Misdemeanor: On August 2017, Kyle Myers was arrested on drug charges. The ATF subsequently raided his house and seized a large amount of firearms. On July 2019, he was sentenced to two months of prison and two years of probation. Due to all this, the channel is for all intents and purposes dead as Myers having illegal drug charges on his record means he no longer has the right to own firearms in America.
