With the increasing temperature over the last decades, it’s no surprise that too much heat is a growing concern for everyone, especially for people working under the scorching heat of the sun. Climate change is proving to be another enemy that seems more powerful than any of us. The good news is we’re humans. And […]
When it comes to portable chargers, I’ve always needed them, but I’ve never exactly been excited about them. After all, what could be exciting about a rectangular charging block that is utilized solely for charging my electronics? Are they necessary for me? Yes. Exciting? Not. At least that’s what I thought… Like some of the […]
When I saw the Faraday Defense booth at the 2022 SHOT Show, I was intrigued. As a police officer, I spent a bit of time in our county police’s Faraday cage (it houses all electronics seized during an arrest or after serving a search warrant), and I always found it intriguing. Since that time, I’ve […]
There’s boredom that could be quenched by browsing through social media or maybe playing online games. Then there’s a kind of boredom that could only be helped by recreating the light four-wheel-drive armored car that the German armored forces used during World War II called Panzerspähwagen Sd.

Whether you’ve encountered the Dragunov in the field, a documentary, or even in the Call of Duty videogame franchise, it’s no secret that the semi-automatic Soviet-era rifle is one of the best firearms ever to be designed and produced by the Russians.

As I was walking through the glorious jungle of gear that was the 2022 SHOT Show, I came across a small booth for a company that has become one of my most used and most beloved flashlight brands; Ledlenser. The brand was founded in 1994 when two brothers with no more than a dream and […]
It’s difficult to spy on enemy activities in complete darkness unless you’re willing to shine a high beam flashlight to see what is going on, which is, of course, a ridiculous idea. Seeing through the (fairly) total darkness is now possible thanks to night vision goggles (NVGs). Not only that, but they are also available […]
War calls for manufacturers and the government to weaponize anything that can be weaponized. Remember when the US Army tried to use Nerf footballs as grenades? That’s gotta be the most American thing ever. It’s not only them, of course. In the 1950s, the French military once made an anti-tank Vespa scooter. While the rest […]
Two weeks ago I wrote an article titled, “SHOT Show Day 3: Faraday Defense Bags to Machine Gun Guitar Cases.” In that article, I highlighted a couple of brands that I found most compelling while in Las Vegas covering the 2022 SHOT Show. One of those brands was Savior Equipment. When I first saw the […]
Yes, the good old C4 explosive. If you were not in the military, you probably heard of C4(Composition Four) from action movies or video games. C4 is the go-to explosive for the military, combining stability in storage and handling with lightweight and high explosive yield. Let me take a guess. You know C-4 from one […]
