Tech Youtube lovers will surely be aware with the FPSRussia channel owned by YouTuber Kylie Myers. Myers showcased the singular content of the flashing guns and weapons he uses to take down all sorts of inanimate targets, including zombies, fruit, bottles, and even photos of celebrities. On his channel, Myers plays the character of Dmitri Potapoff, an English-speaking Russian with a heavy accent, who introduces weapons, explains and demonstrates their abilities with targets.

FPSRusia became one of YouTube’s biggest channels with over 3 million subscribers and over 500 million viewers in 2013. This figure grew rapidly thereafter, making Kylie Myers one of the richest stars from YouTube at the time. However, the channel gradually moved towards a final destination in 2016 when Kylie Myers stopped producing new episodes.

So many circumstances led to thisdevelopment and everything revolved around the personal life of the initiator of FPSRussia – Kylie Myers. Dwelling on these developments would mean answering some of the pertinent questions circulating across the various media platforms. Starting with the most frequently asked questions:

What happened to FPSRussia?

After the channel gained strong publicity on the net, fans and the entire public began to address the channel and its creator with one name – FPSRussia. This means that FPSRussia is primarily used to refer to its owner, Myers. Now that we figure it out, Kylie Myers started out on a small scale, but was greatly enhanced by the backing of Keith Richard Ratliff; a friend and associate who provided him with most of the equipment he needed. Ratliff owned a gun repair shop in Georgia and helped him obtain a license as well as purchase various guns.

FPSRussia was born in April 2010 and soon gained 1 million subscribers the following year. In 2017, he had over six million subscribers and over 700 million views. The channel also gave birth to another channel, “MoreFPSRussia”, which is also independent.

However, FPSRussia headed into the evening of its few days in early 2013 following the death of famed Kylie collaborator Keith Ratliff, who was found dead in his office in Carnesville, Georgia. It was a murder scene, he had three bullet wounds to the back of his head and no matches from the bullets had been found in his office – the start of Kylie’s woes.

You guessed it right, Kylie was the prime suspect. His house and other establishments were raided by different armed forces including the FBI, ATF, GBI and many others in an attempt to uncover the elements that would lead to the murder. Moreso, due to his use of the explosive tannerite in his youtube videos, authorities also suspected him of being in possession of illegal explosives. The channel temporarily stopped at that time and then resumed in 2016. Sadly, 2017 was the last time the channel was heard from.

Where is he now? Is he dead?

Many believe that following the raid on his home by the ATFs who seized more of his arms, his business was greatly affected. More so, he had lost the one person who had helped him buy and license his guns, another reason why his business may never have been the same.

Questions of whether Kylie was dead emerged in the wake of Ratliff’s death. Many had thought that Kylie Myers was the real murdered dealer. The founder of FPSRussia is still alive and although he is no longer directing new episodes, he is busy with other projects. Myers is a host of “Painkiller Already,” a podcast that features discussions of world events and presents such discussions with a comedic twist. Myers co-founded the platform alongside other associates. It is unclear if he is still involved in his gun tutorial business.

His net worth

With a thriving and thriving YouTube, Kylie Myers was among YouTube’s richest stars between 2011 and 2013. With a loan of $100,000, Myers converted her father’s farm in Georgia to the famous testing phase of her videos. Surely he reaped the rewards of this seed he sowed in good faith and would have stayed afloat had it not been for the death of his friend and associate.

After the channel closed, he found solace in other productions like Painkiller Deja, where he would earn up to $6,000 a month. He also earns a lot of money from his YouTube videos which are still very popular on the platform.
