The first position that I held in Ranger Battalion was light/heavy machine gunner. It was our job to become efficient with just about every light or heavy machine gun in our arsenal, including various grenade launchers.

In the video below, Chief Operations Officer Austin Lockey walks us through the features […]
Talking with ‘Nam vets is always a learning experience. They are a truly remarkable bunch of guys who accomplished a lot with very little. I am fortunate to know a SEAL who did some time during the heyday of Vietnam. Reading stories about the Brown Water Navy and SEAL/UDT Platoons in books were great but […]
For those who have a fascination for “all that is gun,” or the scene in the movie “Act of Valor” when the SWCC boat crews arrive to lay suppressive fire for the extracting team, you’ll love the M134D Minigun by Dillon Aero! The amount of 7.62mm rounds this weapon puts out is amazing, to say […]
