The United States has long relied on its arsenal of advanced and powerful cruise and ballistic missile platforms to serve as force multipliers, enforcers of American foreign policy, and of course, a nuclear deterrent. The American military boasts a massive stockpile of such missiles, deployable from land, sea, and air assets, and is able to […]
*Editors note: Photos and article have been shared with the permission of AMTAC Shooting. Without standards, it is hard to know where you stand.

This is my Custom AK. I had it made as a sort of hybrid between the AK-74 and AK-105 models. Chambered in 5.45 because I had it built back when 1,080 round spam cans of 7n6 were $130. But I like how similar 5.45 is to 5.56 so the loss of super cheap ammo hasn’t stopped […]

This year, the American Automobile Association (AAA) predicts that about 33 percent of all Americans will travel for the December holidays, which is more than four percent […]
We’re always talking about rucking here…it is one of our favorite subjects, a constant source of worry for Special Operations candidates and still one of our favorite activities. Anyone can do it, everyone can improve at it and it is a good way to get outside and get some exercise, whether you are an aspiring […]
*Editors note: Photos and article have been shared with the permission of AMTAC Shooting. This article is a continuation of the Modern Minute Man article. If you have not read that article I recommend that you start here. As I continue to explore these concepts we will be looking at different aspects of the core Modern Minute […]
Everyone has they’re favorite (Meatballs in Marinara Sauce Gang) and their least favorite.
