1. THE MAKO TIRE DEFLATOR ATTACHMENT For a Glorious 150 dollars, you can add a ridiculous pointy stick thingy to the end of your AR-15 barrel. Its purpose you ask? To stab tires. It attaches directly to your barrel over your flash hider, and you can supposedly fire your weapon with this attached. Mako M16/M4/AR-15 Tire […]

James Bond would like the CZ 82. Okay, so Bond’s signature firearm was a Walther PPK, and not the CZ, but at my first sight of the Czech military pistol, I couldn’t help but to recall the hero’s famous blued compact.

Like most armies in this part of the world, the Peshmerga’s go-to weapon is the AK-47/AKM. Sure, they have the G36 and a few M16/M4s floating around (usually with officers), but the Kalashnikov is the name of the game.

Any time I obtain a new gun, I try to run a variety of ammo through it to find which combination shoots best. Different weight projectiles and various bullet profiles can have significantly altered trajectories, with no way to predict (infallibly) which a specific firearm will prefer. With that in mind, I picked up three […]
