Navy SEAL Sniper’s New Video Game: Center Mass-Streets of Ramadi
I’ve been working hard with Maximum Games for two years to create a realistic sniper game with sim-like qualities but also making sure it’s not too complicated to maintain fun gameplay. I’ve been a gamer since my first Atari when I was obsessed with Stargate Defender! The game is based on the bestselling book about […]
Last Minute Shopping Ideas for Christmas
The start of the Christmas season here is marked by bringing out the decorations just after Thanksgiving. Which was last week, correct? Ok, so maybe not but there’s still time to get online, get some shopping done, and get your gifts before Christmas. But as they say, “The clock is ticking” so if anyone is […]
Battle Chest Rigs, from then to now.
The Chest Rig is a easily recognizable piece of kit. What your mission, purpose and use will determine which chest rig is best for you. I personally use multiple brands and own variations ranging from the 1980s Soviet Chest rigs to the modern issued TAPs System and Blue Force gear slick chest rigs. Here […]
Pic of The Day – 10th Annual Craft Beer Festival

Leave The World Behind It’s Just a Movie Right?

SHOT Show- ‘I’ll Take 600 Flame Throwers To Go Please’
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 […]
From Barrett Rifles to Tactical Pajamas, At Shot Show 2022 In Las Vegas
For years, I’ve been trying to find a way to attend SHOT Show. I’ve always considered SHOT to be the premier playground for all military and law enforcement personnel. At the SHOT show, one can find everything from Barrett .50 cal rifles to tactical pajamas and quite literally everything in-between. It has just always seemed […]
How (Un)Realistic Are Sci-Fi Weapons?
From lightsabers to exosuits, sci-fi movies sure have tons of awesome and lethal weapons that we all wanted as kids (or maybe until now.) It’s easy to choose them anytime over seemingly boring pistols, or rifles but the question is, how realistic (or unrealistic) are they? The Lightsaber One of the most well-known sci-fi weapons, […]
The Sniper – Past, Present, and Future Missions
Sniper: noun A person who shoots from a hiding place, especially accurately and at long range. “The terrorist was killed by a Marine sniper’s bullet in Iraq.” The sniper is one of the most effective and accurate tools on the battlefield. By using a sniper you don’t accidentally kill civilians which is quite common to […]
