Valentine’s Day is upon us and if you have someone in your life who just loves guns and gear we have the solution for you. Some couples don’t share hobbies, and gun stuff is a very intricate hobby so it can be tricky. It’s hard to even put a list together that doesn’t dive into […]

Best morale patches of 2019’s SHOT Show
When the US military transitioned away from sew-on unit patches and flags to hook-and-loop fasteners (velcro®), a whole new ballgame began. Morale patches designed and produced by civilian gun and gear companies exploded in popularity, with some people designing popular (and lucrative) enough patches that they’ve turned it into a full-time occupation. I met with […]
Team Multicam: Naval Special Warfare Veteran, Kyle Defoor

Combat hunter tracks prey: 3rd Recon Marines learn techniques of a predator
The Marine Corps Jungle Warfare Training Center in Okinawa Japan had to be one of my favorite deployments. Learning how to operate and survive in a jungle environment is vastly different than a desert or woodland environment. There are also threats native to the jungle that you must be aware of. I remember attending a […]
Photo of the day: Running a Rigid-Hulled Inflatable Boat (RHIB) wide open
Pictured Above: Running a RHIB “wide open” in formation off the East Coast practicing launch and recovery from the “mothership” as well as chasing, evading and practicing small boat tactics for maneuvering against ships.

Watch an M-60 Tank, 106mm Recoilless Rifle Vs Land Rover
Some people have all the fun. The guys over FullMag have a dream job. They get to fire all kinds of weapons, spend all day at the range, blow shit up and go home at night. And get paid to do it. They put together an awesome video of buying an old Land Rover “on […]
Opinion: ‘The Punisher’ and the social utility of killing
With the release of season two of “The Punisher” just days away, I thought I would get a bit ahead of the power curve given the inevitable deluge of rival op-eds inbound—articles from major news outlets that will no doubt repeat the hoary old scare tactics that have long surrounded comic books, video games, and […]
The gift for the guy that has everything? Florida firm puts Mig-29 up for sale
The Mikoyan MiG-29 (which goes by the NATO designator “Fulcrum”) may not have been the best dog fighter around (depending on who you ask), but it was purpose built to stand toe to toe with some of the best fighters the United States still has in its arsenal. When the Mig-29 first entered into service with the […]
Is Red Dawn a reality? Marines to procure Russian helicopters to prepare for a fight against Russian forces
Earlier this year, the U.S. Marine Corps filed a solicitation to procure their own Russian Mi-24 Hind or Mi-17 HIP transport helicopter with one specific goal in mind: realistic preparation for a fight against Russian forces. Not just that, however, they also want a full contractor staff to support and operate the aircraft against Marines […]
