The 14.9mm SOP is an incredible extra long range rifle project that a number of people at Snipers Hide have been collaborating on. The huge rifle fires a very long and heavy projectile with a high ballistic coefficient giving it extreme accuracy. It has 0.5 MOA accuracy at 3000 yards and remains supersonic out to […]
Ammunition is a topic that can be infinitely fascinating, as it is one of the few things that one can look at and see literally dozens of choices that all do the same thing in slightly different ways. We’ve discussed the topic of shot placement and ballistic effectiveness, and I’m sure we can all agree […]
The situation in Syria continues to evolve with the freedom fighters/insurgents improving on multiple fronts including weapons and tactics. One area they seem to be crapping the bed on is organization. These guys are splintering into dozens and dozens of factions, providing no unified front against Assad’s forces. It seems highly probable that these factions […]

I initially chose to carry the heavier MK23 SOCOM by HK because of a rash of bad SIG magazines. I think the MK25 is a great pistol even though it’s a monster compared to the 226. I eventually learned to love the SIG line and glad we (the SEALs) put the Beretta out to pasture […]
If you purchase your own short barrel upper receiver and then have it put on your unit’s property book before you deploy then *cough-cough* the MP’s will never know that it wasn’t issued when they inspect your ISU-90’s. What they don’t know can’t hurt them. Besides, there is black side equipment we don’t even talk […]
I’ve tried to cover quite a bit so far on rifle and pistol accuracy, including techniques and methods for practicing. To be sure, our readers are also great sources of knowledge and I’ve learned and enhanced my own techniques as a result of the discussions as much as writing the articles themselves. One of the […]
First let me say that I’m a HUGE Glock fan. I carried the 17 when I worked for a certain three letter group in Iraq and have fired thousands of rounds through it without a hitch. When I was looking to have something a little more concealable (I don’t like Glock’s small carry options) I […]
The good folks at THULS sent us a few custom sniper data books to take a look at a while back. I ended up giving one of the books to a sniper in the SEAL Teams and he’s not given it back yet, and this is always a good sign. He did report back that the […]
Why I know that the future of guns are not “bolt action” rifles, my favorite bolt action gun would have to be the innovative straight pull action of the Blaser (owned by Sig Arms). Sniper rifles should be minimalistic. They are for hunting and don’t need to have miles of rail system or every damn […]
