The AK platform isn’t the most modular of designs, but it’s seemingly adaptable for many tasks. Need a light machine gun? Well, the RPK has you covered. Need a sniper rifle? Well, the PSL has you covered. Need a shotgun? Well, the Saiga 12 has you covered. Kalashnikov’s favorite platform can be seemingly adapted into […]
Field artillery has been called “The King of Battle.” And for good reason. Great generals throughout history have lauded the power and necessity of artillery in battle. Artillery wins battles and therefore could win wars. Mortars are basically the light artillery of the infantry. The U.S. military uses a variety of mortar calibers for infantry […]
The Stoner 63 is a 5.56×45mm NATO modular weapon system. Using a variety of modular components, it can be easily configured as an assault rifle, carbine, top-fed light machine gun, belt-fed squad automatic weapon, or as a vehicle-mounted weapon. The Stoner 63 was never adopted for widespread use by American forces during the Vietnam War […]
The double-barreled shotgun is a weapon almost as old as the world as firearms. In the early days of firearms, having one shot was nice, but having two was infinitely better. Double-barrel shotguns have stuck around long past the advent of pump-action, semi-autos, and mag-fed shotguns. What happens when you keep adding barrels? Like a […]
Everyone knows that one of the most important requirements for being Tacticalâ„¢ or an Operatorâ„¢ is being Tacti-cool. Getting that “Gucci” gear and trying to look bad-ass at the same time, however, can add up fast and get really expensive.

One of the best things to happen to the pistol and firearms community was the U.S. Army’s XM17 Modular Handgun System (MHS) competition. The Army announced the competition in 2015 and in January 2017 crowned Sig Sauer P320’s as the winner. Most know that Glock offered the Glock 19x but might not know that Beretta, […]
I’ve always found machine pistols to be absolutely fascinating. Guns like the Glock 18, the Beretta 93R, and the Stechkin machine pistol have always held my interest. Teeny tiny machine guns in common pistol calibers just seem to be a handful of fun. Handful being the keyword. Most machine pistols are tough to handle due […]
The granddaddy of all Glocks, the Glock 17 is still one of the most popular Glock models. Hitting the market in 2017, the Glock 17 gen 5 followed the traditions of the original from 35 years prior. Yet, there are more than a few changes and improvements that were added with the fifth generation Glocks. The changes […]
The Mossberg Shockwave might be one of the most disruptive guns of the last decade. Mossberg is mostly known as that shotgun company. Their name has been long associated with sporting and tactical shotguns. Mossberg 500s occupy deer stands and duck blinds across the country, and the 590A1 is the military shotgun of choice. However, […]
