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 […]
Born From a Hurricane, goTenna Communications is Building Better Communications for Tomorrow
A quick trip back down memory lane, or nightmare alley for some people, to 2012 and Hurricane Sally.
