M4A1 Block I: The Special Operations Origins of an American Icon

In the annals of modern warfare, few firearms have risen to such iconic status as the M4 carbine in its various forms and configurations.

Military Sniper Competitions, the Best Training For Our Sniper Teams

Modern military sniper competitions provide a range of valuable benefits to U.S. Army snipers, enhancing their skills, tactics, and overall effectiveness.  I spoke at length with Iahn about the competitions, his thoughts on them, their value, and what it was like to be part of the first-ever US Military team of Snipers to compete in […]

Pic Of The Day, Sniper Competition in Denmark

One of the SOFREP family, my Grandson Iahn, just came back from the International Sniper Competition in Borris, Ringkobing, Denmark.  The competition was extreme and many of the exercises were based directly on lessons learned and operations conducted on the front lines of the war in Ukraine.
