The FPSRussia channel launched in April 2010 and found success early, reaching one million subscribers in June 2011. Myers ceased producing new videos in 2016 following the unsolved death of one of his associates and a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) felony charge.
As of August 2022, his channel has still garnered over 6.9 million subscribers and 950 million views. Since the FPSRussia channel has gone inactive, Myers continues to maintain an online presence as the co-host of Painkiller Already (PKA), a podcast he co-founded in 2010.
