Professional Gear Reviews
I remember going through the South Korean ROK Marine Mountain Warfare training center. Those ROK Marines were damn machines during the entire training course. I remember going up into the mountains one day, probably covering a few thousand feet in elevation, and they smoked us. Obviously, this is their backyard and they better be good […]
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve worked in the medical field. Putting together a good trauma kit is in my opinion best left to those medics still scrubbing blood from their cuticles. Blue Force Gear tapped some great talent in choosing precisely the equipment needed to stabilize a variety of battlefield injuries until bigger and better […]
Like most gear enthusiasts I have a problem not putting the “best” gear on my rifle. What is the best? Gear that is used and vetted by only the most accomplished/published gunfighters in the business. For the longest time, I’ve only trusted Surefire lights on my weapons. They’ve never failed me at home or abroad […]
In the never-ending search for the right range bag to haul handguns, ammo, ear-pro, targets, a staple gun (and many other things) to the firing line with, I’ve gone through a number of different (and inadequate) bags. Some were bigger, some smaller, but all had a deficiency that caused an unnecessary pain in the ass […]
The king of the 2-mile winning rifle made from the folks at JJ Rock Co. With an 8 second flight time, you can get 2 rounds in the air at the same time heading to the same target. The brains behind the operation are Jon Geib, Duncan Davis and Rudy Gonsior taking home the win […]
ESEE knives are popular amongst Loadout Room writers. From the SERE instructor to our editor, ESEE knives receive a lot of praise and for a good reason. I have owned an ESEE 6 for years, but I only recently got my hands on the ESEE-3 MIL, and it certainly does not disappoint. The ESEE-3 MIL may be the smallest out of […]
If you’re like me, you want your AR-style carbine to be capable of engaging targets from right in front of you, all the way out to its limits (500 meters give or take). I’ve always wanted to maintain the capability of being able to shoot out to 500 meters reliably. Having qualified with iron sights […]
The M134D-H Hybrid Gatling Gun is the standard lightweight Minigun design from Dillon Aero. The Hybrid Gatling Gun combines the titanium and skeletonized parts that were originally engineered for use in the M134D-T titanium Gatling Gun with the steel housing of the M134D steel Gatling Gun. The Hybrid gun was designed to offer the weight […]
The GORUCK Wire Dopp is really a universal Dopp pouch, typically used for organizing electronics and the accompanying cords. Although I have used it in that capacity, I have found a different use for the Wire Dopp; Transporting my EDC items when traveling via ground transportation. Not only is this a practical way to transport your EDC, […]
The Army 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta has been using the HK 416 weapon platform since early 2004 to replace their M4 carbines for a, particularly good reason. The piston driven system design prevents combustion gases from entering the weapon’s interior. The reduction in heat and fouling of the bolt carrier group increases the reliability of the weapon […]
