So where is yours? ” Right here and always ready” is the only right answer here. I’ve seen a trend in the last few years of people actually using an Individual First Aid Kit more as a fashion accessory rather than a means of saving theirs or someone else’s life. Time and time again I see […]
If you are looking for the one thing that might make a whole lot of difference yet is portable enough to carry around with you all the time, then this is for you. The Swiss+Tech BodyGuard PTX is a 3-in-1 rescue tool designed to be carried as a pendant. Just attach it to your car […]
In the late 80’s the Soviet KGB issued a request for a new helmet to be issued to it’s elite troops in Afghanistan. The helmet was to provide extremely good protection over most of the user’s head.

The AK47 has for many many years been the most prolific terminological mistakes made. It has grown to become an urban […]
Sometimes you can see various trends in gear. Once a concept is developed, it is just a matter of time before a few distinct things happen: 1. The US adopts it – Mil, LE and civs buy the original in vast amounts. 2. China – makes a poor copy and sells it worldwide with Airsofters […]
In addition to Nick’s article on Shocking Facts About Gun Fights I’d like to elaborate a bit more about the topic. Especially on the training part, that in theory should prepare one for a real life scenario. Everyone has their right to post own opinions about training methods and pretty much all of them are […]
During this year’s MSPO, FN Herstal used it’s Polish dealer CENZIN to showcase its products. Some of the firearms shown are well known FNH products, while others were the not so yet common novelties.
