I’ve been working hard with Maximum Games for two years to create a realistic sniper game with sim-like qualities but also making sure it’s not too complicated to maintain fun gameplay. I’ve been a gamer since my first Atari when I was obsessed with Stargate Defender! The game is based on the bestselling book about […]
Recently, part of the SOFREP family was in the field training in the European Alps with local allies. The air was thin and chilly, the ground rocky and covered in snow with beautiful vistas that truly belonged on postcards. Training during the trip involved taking advantage of the local terrain with plenty of rappelling and […]
Hydra Weaponry, Maine’s top gunmaker and the brains behind the MARCK-15 Hydra® Weapon System knows how to cater to the Glock crowd. Their latest creation? A modular rifle built around the .45 ACP, the second most popular caliber in civilian, law enforcement, and military circles (right behind 9mm). Enter the Hydra MARCK-15 H21 Modular Rifle—a […]
I have been fascinated with the thought of modular weapons systems for as long as I can remember. I tend to fluctuate between wanting to keep pistols bone stock and going absolutely crazy with customizations. Modularity really helps with the latter, so today I’d like to look at 3 modular handgun systems today. We will […]
When it comes to suppressors, SilencerCo has built a reputation for blending durability with high performance, and their latest release, the VELOS LBP 762, is no exception. This suppressor is dialed in for those who push their gear hard, built specifically for high-volume shooting with 7.62 NATO and other .30-caliber rifles. It’s a piece of […]
The Remington V3 TAC-13 isn’t your grandpa’s shotgun—it’s compact, quick, and hits like my truck. Built on Remington’s proven VersaPort gas system, this semi-auto packs versatility into a design that’s a blast to shoot. The 13-inch barrel and shock-absorbing Raptor grip keep this beast manageable and surprisingly comfortable, even if it looks a little intimidating […]
So yes, let’s start off by getting this out of the way. Yes, AKs are the “bad guy” rifles in the eyes of most of the Western world, but let’s put this aside and look at the Zastava M70 pattern rifles. First, let’s explain the difference between standard AKM rifles and Yugo patterns. The terms […]
I’m a history guy and I like a good history story. As with many people, I also enjoy a pistol that shoots well especially a revolver. Smith & Wesson manages to combine all of that in the 327 TRR8 revolver. But WHY, you ask, why should I care about a revolver in this day and […]
The Chest Rig is a easily recognizable piece of kit. What your mission, purpose and use will determine which chest rig is best for you. I personally use multiple brands and own variations ranging from the 1980s Soviet Chest rigs to the modern issued TAPs System and Blue Force gear slick chest rigs. Here […]
The latest from Sean Northrop. When was the last time you were shocked at how well a company or service responded to an inquiry you had? For me… It wasn’t that long ago at all. Some of you may have had a few times things went faster, or better than expected, but we all know […]
