During World War II, different nations had to use all sorts of creativity to create weapons that could effectively give them an advantage in the war. There were various types of artillery, vehicles, gas weapons. Anything that will get the job done. It’s interesting to know that there was one weapon that the Nazis decided […]
You might not have seen the Sabot before, and you don’t want to see one, especially if it’s headed directly towards your vehicle. Given that it’s an anti-tank weapon, it is deadly, and its effects were nasty but in a way that perhaps you couldn’t have imagined. What is a Sabot? Sabot is a non-explosive […]
An interesting final day on the floor at SHOT Show yesterday, and I am finally getting the hang of this place in terms of size. You still end up walking miles every day. I averaged 4,8 miles a day. On Thursday we interviewed former Navy SEAL and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, you’ll see […]

Machine guns changed the face of warfare. They industrialized the way wars were fought. They were among the most used weapons during World War I and World War II. With dozens of designs and variations that the US had made, safe to say that the United States was a fan. Here are some of the […]
Since it was invented in the 1800s, condoms have been used for many centuries, both as birth control and prophylactic. In the army, a condom is also considered one of the items in a survival kit. It was a standard issue to all members of the U.S. military since the 1930s as protection against sexually […]
We know that most bullets are round or spherical, and they are designed so for a reason— they are one of the most efficient shapes that allow the use of heavier bullets without taking up a lot of space in the weapon. In 1718, one person thought out of the box and decided to invent […]
