CCI’s new COPPER-22 advertises that it sends a 21 grain lead-free projectile down range at 1,850 fps. Actually meeting that figure would make it the fastest .22 LR on the market — perhaps ever — by about a 100 fps margin. Designed for plinking as well as for small game and varmint hunting, the non-lead projectiles make the COPPER-22 […]
The U.S. has the best-armed civilian population in the world, with an estimated 270 million total guns. That’s an average of 89 firearms for every 100 residents. Many of these firearms fall in the Shotgun category, one of the most used home defense weapons systems in America. I often get asked, “what’s the best home […]

UPDATE: There have been some questions about the origin of this FBI statement. As the word of the FBI’s solicitation for 9mm handguns became public, they were hit with a flood of questions from state and local agencies, many who carry .40, about the change. This statement was prepared the FBI Training Division to answer […]
As a sniper in the military, I sometimes wished I had a bullet that could steer its own course, especially in multiple shifty crosswinds, or if a target was slightly behind some type of cover. It appears that dream is now becoming a reality. DARPA has done the “almost” impossible and created something that we’ve only seen […]
I’m sure most of you on the Load Out Room have been hearing the buzz about the new “RIP (Radically Invasive Projectile) Ammo” by G2 Research claiming that this new round will be the last round that you will ever need. Well, here are my thoughts after seeing a testing of the round. OVERVIEW The […]
