History

What Would Alvin York Carry Today? – Modern Marksman Loadout

In the closing weeks of World War I, a former conscientious objector from the hills of Tennessee changed history in a French forest. Armed with nothing but a bolt-action rifle, a .45 Colt, and conviction forged by faith, Sergeant Alvin C. York killed 25 enemy fighters, and captured 132 more, all in one firefight. With […]

Full-Auto Fun — Shooting the full-Auto vz. 61 Škorpion

The Škorpion freakin’ ROCKS (and rolls)!!!Those of y’all dear readers who remember 5 May 2025 article titled “Firing the Full-Auto Steyr AUG” will recall that I kvetched about that rifle having “that frickin’ progressive trigger made the Steyr *THE* most difficult of the bunch to keep my shots on target, even at a measly 7 […]

Helwan Brigadier 9mm Range Report

Besides being my all-time personal sentimental favorite pistol, the Beretta 92FS, aka M9, is a truly iconic combat handgun. Believe it or not, the Beretta 92/M9 pistol series is celebrating its 50th birthday this year, which by happy happenstance (alliterative wordplay intended) falls the year before the 500th anniversary of its manufacturer, which just so […]

Tommy Gun Madness: The Thompson Submachine Gun

How one brutally effective American icon bridged Prohibition and World War – and became one of the loudest symbols of American firepower. Before Delta carried suppressed MP5’s, before Marines stacked bodies in Fallujah with M16’s, there was a time when American warfighters waded into battle with 10 pounds of walnut and steel. Slinging .45 caliber […]

KA-BAR: The Knife That Won Wars and Built Legends

Few tools in American history carry the weight of legend, grit, and blood-soaked valor quite like the KA-BAR knife. More than just a hunk of steel, the KA-BAR is a symbol of American resolve; from storming the beaches of Normandy to the dusty hills of Afghanistan. It’s not just a knife. It’s the knife. Forged […]

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. But before it became the ubiquitous symbol of American firepower, there was the Block I. A weapon forged in the crucible of special operations, where innovation and lethality walk hand-in-hand. The […]

Here are Three Ancient Melee Weapons That Were Frightful

Before guns were a thing, melee combat was the way to go during battles. The concept is simple: Hand-held weapons that could slash, pierce or shatter the enemies’ bones. Through time, early civilizations began experimenting and developing these melee weapons to make them efficient and effective in killing enemies. As a result, many weapons were […]

Unheeded Warnings: Major Tragedies That Could’ve Been Prevented

Regret is always at the end. Looking back through history, you’ll see many instances when people’s warnings were ignored and disregarded. Perhaps because they were not convincing or logical enough, or maybe the warning sounded crazy. The results were disastrous historical events that could have been prevented if only they had believed these people. #3: […]

The Military Has Come a Long Way Since The Pup Tent

If you are an army veteran of a certain age, you experienced the many joys of sleeping in the venerable Pup-Tent, your very own Hilton Hotel in the field compared to the alternative of sleeping in a trench, jungle, ditch or foxhole. Thankfully, the improvement of technology also improved the sleeping experience of our soldiers, […]

Russian T-62 Tanks: Blessing or a Curse?

Beginning in the late 1930s with the T-34, the Soviet Union produced a string of outstanding tank models. Their most recent was the T-62 Main Battle Tank (MBT). The introduction of the T-62 Main Battle Tank marked the central turning point for the heavy tank class around the globe. The medium tank has become the […]
