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 […]

SIG Sauer M17/M18/P320 Pistol Just Can’t Seem to Escape Safety Controversies

  The Swiss-German firm SIG Sauer (“SIG” as in Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft, e.g. “Swiss Industrial Company”) is one of the world’s most venerable and respected gunmakers, dating back to 1853, and accordingly, has won many law enforcement and military contracts around the world in its proud history, including with the U.S. Armed Forces and many civilian […]

War of Words: In the Ultra-Competitive Defense Tech Industry, Storytelling is a Secret Weapon

Welcome to the LoadoutRoom, Todd Barrish from Indicate Media! We live in dangerous times, and escalating geopolitical tensions have unlocked billions of dollars in public and private technology investments to modernize defense capabilities around the world. This demand for innovation has led to a surge in VC firms and startups entering the defense sector, directly […]

Black Widow and the Brain: Palladyne and Red Cat Prove the Future Is Autonomous

Let’s get something straight right out of the gate—there’s hype, and then there’s hardware and software doing the damn thing. Tactical drone systems come and go, but earlier this year, Palladyne AI and Red Cat Holdings didn’t just talk about next-gen drone warfare—they flew it. In a real-world test that pulled no punches, the two […]

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 […]

Firing the Full-Auto Steyr AUG

Sprayin’ and prayin’ like Karl from Die Hard, I finally got to rock the Steyr AUG in full-auto—and lemme tell ya, that progressive trigger ain’t for the faint of finger.

M60 Pig: America’s Jungle-Eating, Belt Fed Freedom Machine

It weighed over 20 pounds, jammed when it felt like it, and chewed through belts of 7.62 NATO like a chainsaw on meth…but for the American warfighter in Vietnam, the M60 was more than just a machine gun. It was an iron pig that ate communism for breakfast. Birth of a Beast Born out of […]

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 […]

Hard Head Veterans Bump Helmet vs. the Wizardry of the ATE Gen III Ballistic

When it comes to tactical headgear, HardHeadVeterans (HHV) has positioned itself as a leading manufacturer, offering both bump and ballistic helmets designed for military, law enforcement, and civilian use. As of this year, HHV is also branching out into the safety world, with a rated hard hat made from Kevlar aptly called the Kevy. With so […]
