There’s boredom that could be quenched by browsing through social media or maybe playing online games. Then there’s a kind of boredom that could only be helped by recreating the light four-wheel-drive armored car that the German armored forces used during World War II called Panzerspähwagen Sd. Kfz. 222. As for Zacharias Ourgantzidis from Thessaloniki […]
Whether you’ve encountered the Dragunov in the field, a documentary, or even in the Call of Duty videogame franchise, it’s no secret that the semi-automatic Soviet-era rifle is one of the best firearms ever to be designed and produced by the Russians. From its natural appeal and aesthetic in its wooden stock to its reliable […]
If you’ve lived in Israel for some time now or follow the videos coming out of Israel’s military that circulate online, you’d be no stranger to those bright lights that illuminate the sky like Chinese sky lanterns. Yup, they’re pretty to look at, alright, but those aren’t lanterns. They’re Israel’s, Iron Dome. No, they’re not […]
Iran is claiming that it has a new missile with a range of 900 miles on Wednesday, allowing the weapon to reach nearby US bases within the Middle East and the Gulf states and potential targets within Israel. This report comes after the eighth round of US-Iranian talks resumed in Vienna regarding the Iran nuclear […]
As I was walking through the glorious jungle of gear that was the 2022 SHOT Show, I came across a small booth for a company that has become one of my most used and most beloved flashlight brands; Ledlenser. The brand was founded in 1994 when two brothers with no more than a dream and […]
If you were asked what the largest and most powerful bomb there was in history, you’d probably think of the Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima by the Boeing B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay or the Tsar Bomba, which was developed by the Soviet Union in 1961, over 2,000 times as powerful as those dropped […]
The good old college days. When you look back at your own college life as a teen, you were either the kid who loved studying, getting all those A’s, or that party jock varsity kid enjoying all the free-flowing booze. There’s a lot of in-betweens to those categories—the Invisibles, those music-loving band kids, those who […]
It’s difficult to spy on enemy activities in complete darkness unless you’re willing to shine a high beam flashlight to see what is going on, which is, of course, a ridiculous idea. Seeing through the (fairly) total darkness is now possible thanks to night vision goggles (NVGs). Not only that, but they are also available […]
With tensions mounting along the Ukrainian-Russian border for the past few months, it’s important to know what Russian weapons there are to keep us all informed. The Russians sure have been busy developing what they believe will be decisive weapons in any conflict with the West. We know there are 100,000 plus Russian troops along […]
War calls for manufacturers and the government to weaponize anything that can be weaponized. Remember when the US Army tried to use Nerf footballs as grenades? That’s gotta be the most American thing ever. It’s not only them, of course. In the 1950s, the French military once made an anti-tank Vespa scooter. While the rest […]
