To never go to war unarmed is a no-brainer. But not every defensive measure available to the U.S. Armed Forces is a weapon. In making every effort to keep our men safe and protected from any chemical, biological, radiological, and even nuclear attack, the Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) gear is offered. This is a […]
Let’s keep the record straight once and for all: Flashbangs are produced for military and law enforcement purposes, and civilians are therefore not allowed to own one in the United States without a special license. Too bad because they’re pretty cool with their disorienting effects on enemies— temporary blindness and deafness. What if I tell […]
The gear, equipment, and animals used by the armed forces all have essential purposes. The helmet is for head protection. Body armor to shield the body from bullets. A load of ammunition is self-explanatory. In the military, there are dog companions that can help detect bombs or takedown enemies like a missile made of hair. […]
Imagine finding yourself in the middle of nowhere, fighting for your life and trying to stay alive. You survived the bombs, outran the enemies, even those mosquitoes trying to suck the life out of you. It was exhausting. You felt a slight itch at the back of your throat, so you reached out for your […]
If you have to choose your best pick of self-defense, what would it be? Pepper spray? Tasers? Maybe a gun? How about an umbrella?

The PT28 Oathkeeper Is A Military-Law Enforcement Tool With Personal Self Defense Uses It always pays to reserve judgment on things until you have all the facts. When a representative at Brinyte reached out and asked us to look at a flashlight they were offering I confess I wasn’t too excited about it. I mean, […]
The branches of the U.S. Military are trained to deal with the most dangerous situations and respond to spontaneous, short notice crises— be it diffusing bombs, dealing with airstrikes, close-quarter combat, anti-terrorism operations, or providing humanitarian assistance both here and abroad. This multi-mission role requires a high level of protection to ensure that they can […]
Smith & Wesson Came Of Age During Revolutionary Changes in Markets And Industry. There are many American-made products that have become household names. From Coke to Levi’s, these brands have been around for decades and have an impact on our culture. One of the most iconic firearms manufacturers is Smith and Wesson. This company has […]
If you’re anything like me, then the protection of yourself and your family is of utmost importance to you. I would contend that none of these less-lethal weapons for self-defense that I will highlight are superior to a firearm in the hands of a well-trained person, but each of them has its place in either […]
