Rifle

The M24: America’s Headhunter

Every rifle makes a snap when fired, but some rifles make history with the same action. The M24 does both, but mostly the latter. In a world gone mad with high-rate-of-fire platforms and tactical gear that looks better on Instagram than it performs in the field, the M24 bolt-action rifle remains a stoic monument to […]

Too Tough to Die: The M14

Some rifles fade into obscurity. Others refuse to go quietly. Then there’s the M14…the Cold War warhorse that refused retirement, kept punching past its prime, and earned a cult following among shooters, soldiers, and salty old marksmen alike. Born in the shadow of the M1 Garand and overshadowed by the M16, the M14 is that […]

Tommy Gun Madness: The Thompson Submachine Gun

How one brutally effective American icon bridged Prohibition and World War – and became one of the loudest symbols of American firepower. Before Delta carried suppressed MP5’s, before Marines stacked bodies in Fallujah with M16’s, there was a time when American warfighters waded into battle with 10 pounds of walnut and steel. Slinging .45 caliber […]

Firing the Full-Auto Steyr AUG

Sprayin’ and prayin’ like Karl from Die Hard, I finally got to rock the Steyr AUG in full-auto—and lemme tell ya, that progressive trigger ain’t for the faint of finger.

Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount HL-X: A Thoroughly Bright Review

Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount HL-X: A Thoroughly Bright Review In a world that can get unexpectedly dark, whether you’re negotiating the treacherous terrain of your living room chasing a midnight snacky snack or trying to navigate a forest infested with bears, mountain cougars, and God knows what else; having a reliable flashlight is a must. […]

YHM Turbo Integral Suppressed Upper : One Stamp Shop

When it comes to suppressed shorty AR builds, the typical path involves a short-barreled-rifle (SBR) stamp, a separate suppressor stamp, and the patience of Mother Theresa to wait for the ATF to process both. Granted, current wait times as of March 2025 are in the weeks, not months, but still, the annoyance exists. Yankee Hill […]

The Hydra MARCK-15 H21, the Latest Version of Hydra’s Modular Rifle

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 […]

Yugo

The M70 Yugo Pattern AK Rifle

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 […]

The Final Shot on the Anderson Frontline 16

“Parting is such sweet sorrow” Although the Bard was referring to the love between Romeo and Juliet it’s appropriate for my feelings today as I’m bidding a fond farewell to a rifle we’ve been testing on multiple range trips lately, the Anderson Frontline 16.  Vincent’s original comment in my first article was echoed by numerous […]

Pic of The Day, Shooting the M1 Garand

Shooting different types of guns is a common occurrence in Today’s Army, especially if you’re in a Sniper Unit.  It’s not every day though you get to shoot an iconic rifle from a bygone era but that’s what happened recently when a member of the SOFREP family was out on FTX and a special visitor […]
