Full30 is an American online video-sharing platform mainly dedicated to firearms and shooting sports-related content. The service was established in 2014 by Tim Harmsen[1] and Mark Hammonds[2] as a result of YouTube's increasing restrictions on gun-related videos.[3]
After the 2018 Parkland high school shooting, many companies attempted to distance themselves from any association with the firearms industry.[1] As a result, YouTube began demonetizing and sometimes outright deleting firearms-related videos,[4] and in one case, popular YouTube poster Hickok45's channel was completely deleted but later restored.[5] In response, Harmsen, who operates the Military Arms Channel on YouTube, decided to create his own video-hosting website to allow himself and other firearms content creators a platform free from such restrictions; he named the website Full30 — a reference to the popular 30-round STANAG magazine.
In July 2020, site representatives announced the site had new ownership.[6]
