While many online have spend considerable time debating the merits and demerits of bump stocks, one of the quickest ways to reductio ad absurdum (reduce to absurdity) the anti-bump stock argument is to point out that a talented shooter with a properly tuned rifle can exceed both the rate-of-fire and lethality generated by a bump stock […]
Gear Reviews
Zero Tolerance 0470 folding knife
I first saw Zero Tolerance in 2007 at Grey Group Training in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I was immediately attracted to the look of their knives. But their price point turned me off. So when I got the chance to review the 0470 model, I jumped on it. Designed by Dimitri Sinkevitch and coming in at […]
.50 BMG versus Steel plate INSIDE ballistic gel
Rifles, optics, plate carriers and more: we at Loadout Room test and review a wide variety of gear. Sometimes though, we like to sit back and watch shit blow up. While I’m excitedly working on this week’s reviews, I currently have exactly zero .50 BMG chambered rifles, armor-piercing-incendiary-tracer (APIT) rounds, or even a nice little […]

The new Napier Backroadz SUV Tent, Model 19100
I recently received the Napier Backroadz SUV tent for review. I was very excited about this project as I had donated my last tent to a local organization and have been looking at tents or campers that I could use I conjunction with my vehicle (Honda CRV, 2009). When the tent arrived I unpacked it […]

As far as lights go, I have usually kept a small flashlight or chemlight handy. With the Helix Backcountry LED Lantern from Princeton Tec, you can have light anywhere you want, anytime […]
The new Kershaw Boilmaker EDC knife
Two things stood out to me when I first saw the new Kershaw Boilermaker folding knife. The modified drop point blade, the finish of the knife and how sterile it was. The first two are obvious, but you may be wondering what I mean by sterile. What I mean is the lack of markings and […]
Streamlight Siege X USB rechargeable outdoor lantern
Light when and where you need it Having light when you need it can make or break you! A light that is reliable, bright, durable, and functions in ways you didn’t know you needed is invaluable. The Streamlight Siege X USB lantern is one of those lights you might not have realized you needed until […]

ORCA (Outdoor Recreation Company of America), a Nashville based company, has managed to make a name for themselves with their American-made, lifetime guaranteed roto-molded coolers. Quality coolers are not […]
