How to Read Russian Ammo Cans

Great information!  When I was an 18B I used to teach this information to my ODA.  There are third world soldiers walking around with magazines full of bad ammo because they loaded a bad lot number.  You don’t want that to happen to you so it’s important to be able to decipher the markings on […]

The 14.9mm SOP Extra Long Range Rifle

The 14.9mm SOP is an incredible extra long range rifle project that a number of people at Snipers Hide have been collaborating on. The huge rifle fires a very long and heavy projectile with a high ballistic coefficient giving it extreme accuracy. It has 0.5 MOA accuracy at 3000 yards and remains supersonic out to […]

Insurgent Tactics

The situation in Syria continues to evolve with the freedom fighters/insurgents improving on multiple fronts including weapons and tactics.  One area they seem to be crapping the bed on is organization.  These guys are splintering into dozens and dozens of factions, providing no unified front against Assad’s forces.  It seems highly probable that these factions […]

Military hunting smartphone safety to hold off enemy bugs, spooks

I’m looking forward to the day when soldiers can simply carry one smart phone instead of having a separate f**king PDA for every damned device.  Right now we lug around a kit bag full of PDA’s for GPS, Bio-Metrics, Mortar Ballistics, Sniper Ballistics, and more. -Jack Ah, smartphones — the delightful little slates carry our […]

The Trouble With Call of Duty’s Scary New War of the Future

We’ve been doing a lot of coverage of video games here at the loadout room.  I really enjoyed playing COD: Black Ops and thought it was a novel combination of contemporary history with an action-adventure game.  You can read my take on the plot of the game at my blog but when I saw the […]

Anti-Material Rifle Showing up in the Hands of Syrian Rebels

So says the ministry of propaganda anyway.  It’s hard to say what is and is not true inside Syria these days.  According to one media outlet this OSV-96 Anti-Material rifle was captured from rebels and includes a thermal sight that was hooked up to a computer.  No pictures of the computer are forthcoming. From Modern […]

Taking Your Own Upper Receiver with You to War…

If you purchase your own short barrel upper receiver and then have it put on your unit’s property book before you deploy then *cough-cough* the MP’s will never know that it wasn’t issued when they inspect your ISU-90’s.  What they don’t know can’t hurt them.  Besides, there is black side equipment we don’t even talk […]

Fully Automated Sensor and Surveillance Nets in Afghanistan

I first became aware of this type of technology during my first deployment to Afghanistan. Some of the stuff that the technicians had in their inventory was truly impressive but what Wired is reporting simply takes this technology to the next level. Previously, sensors had to be manually installed (for the most part) and retrieved […]
