Shooting the perfect group: When stars align

We all go to the range with hopes of besting our last time out. What happens when you finally do? Let’s say your significant other shoots an amazing group, then you follow suit, and get it all on camera: what do you do then? It’s what we always dream of, but never seems to happen. […]

V Seven Weapon Systems Enlightened AR-15: Long live the King

I’ve featured a large number of AR15 parts from V Seven Weapons Systems in build articles on this site. The reason is simple, they are at the bleeding edge of AR parts quality. This stems from their investment in high-tech alloys (such as 2055 lithium-aluminum, titanium and magnesium blends) as well as a commitment to excellence. However, […]

How the M-16 and AR-15 work | Detailed animation

When Eugene Stoner designed the AR-10 platform in the late 1950s, it is unlikely he could have imagined the success this rifle (and it’s progeny) would achieve.

Testing WWII exploding rifle rounds

World War Two was a monumental turning point for the history of our world. The number of countries (and troops) involved, the geopolitical ramifications concerning the outcome and the massive surge in warfare technologies earned the war its nickname “The Big One”. In the clash between the Axis powers and the Allies, there are no […]

Is 6.5 Creedmoor Really Better Than .308?

If anyone tries to tell you that the old battle horse known as .308 Winchester (alternatively, 7.62×51 NATO) is washed up, you’ll know right away they’re either drinking the kool-aid or are drastically ill-informed as to hunting and war history. The effectiveness of the .308 has been shown for many decades in deserts, rice paddies […]

Kyle Defoor’s teaching methodology is second to none. He takes what he learned as an assaulter in the SEAL Teams and breaks it down for us to learn. There are a lot of instructors out there and videos on YouTube explaining how to clean and maintain your carbine rifle, but how reputable are they? Kyle is one of […]

AR500 Body Armor Put To The Test

We here at Loadoutroom.com love our guns, armor and gear. We love using them, testing them, reading about them and writing about them. When we’re not doing all that, we’re watching funny videos online about people using them, testing them, et cetera. While FPSRussia was once the heavyweight champion of gun channels, sad events laid the channel […]

First look at the CMMG Endeavour 300 chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor

Winter is breaking and soon we’ll be back into the long shooting season. In anticipation of clear skies and light winds, CMMG has sent out their Endeavour 300 MK3 chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. The recent rebranding of the company’s rifle lines has the rifle’s line-up and series denoting the intended role/function of the rifle. For […]

The Remington TAC 14 Hardwood: Old School Cool

I love shotguns, and more importantly, I love shotguns with wood furniture. Also, let’s make them really short and use an odd definition to ensure they are not NFA regulated items. Thanks. That incredibly picky request has now been made a reality with the TAC 14 Hardwood model from Remington. The TAC 14 is Remington’s […]
