The Garrote Wire | For a Silent Kill

The Garrote Wire | For Sentry Removal

First a disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only.  I built this garrote wire to conduct research and have no intention of actually using it and neither should you.  Like any weapon, this is not a toy.  You should not “play” with or “test” it on any human being under any circumstances.  Accidents happen, […]

PSS Pistol and Russian SP-4 Silenced Ammunition

PSS Pistol and Russian SP-4 Silenced Ammunition

For the longest time I thought the PSS Pistol was just a myth until Small Arms Review did an extensive article about it a few years ago! The take down:   *Featured image courtesy of Small Arms Defense Journal

Jack Murphy's Iraq Weapons Squad Loadout

Jack Murphy’s Iraq Weapons Squad Loadout

On my first deployment to Iraq in 2005 I was a Team Leader in Weapons Squad.  For the most part I was the Tactical Commander (TC) on a Stryker armored vehicle.  You can see in the picture the toughbook computer I used to navigate our way to our objectives.  The damn think would heat up […]

Arc’Teryx Alpha Jacket: Quick Review

I’ve been wearing the Arc’Teryx Alpha jacket for months now and can give this piece of kit The Loadout Room seal of approval.  It’s a high-dollar item, but worth every penny if you need high performance gear.  The Alpha jacket is a wind/rain jacket, not a thermal jacket, and as such it wears well over […]

Safe Cracking

I’ve been told that as far back as Vietnam there were Green Berets being trained in how to crack open safes, pick locks, and other methods of surreptitious entry.  Today the emphasis on low-vis B&E and technical surveillance has only grown of course.  I’ve known a few gurus but this was always something I wished […]

Blue Force Gear Back Panel: Quick Review

Currently in use with Special Forces, check it out: “Here is the top view, as you can see there is a large pocket against the body that is for a hydration pouch or any other thing that is essential to an assaulter. The next pouch away from the body is best decried as a charge […]

Memorial Day with the creators of “The Activity”

High Ready vs. Low Ready

This is one of those topics that has a tendency to set some people off.  I know the SEALs jumped all over the high ready and then Blackwater began teaching it to their guys prior to deployment overseas.  Later, Special Forces CIF teams adopted the high ready technique as well.  As one SEAL described it […]

New MARSOC .45, The M45 Close Quarter Battle Pistol

A new 1911 in the inventory, I’m jealous of these MARSOC guys! -Jack Colt Defense LLC has been awarded an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity contract by the U.S. Marine Corps for up to 12,000 M45 Close Quarter Battle Pistols (CQBP), plus spares and logistical support. The new CQBP is a direct descendant of the iconic Colt M1911 adopted […]
