The BAR: Browning’s Battlefield Sledgehammer

Let’s discuss the Browning Automatic Rifle, the mighty BAR. The gun that showed up to war, kicked the damn door in, lit a cigar, and told the rest of the squad, “Follow me, boys, I’ll lead you to Berlin.” Invented by the patron saint of American firearms, John Moses Browning, the BAR (specifically the M1918) […]

M60 Pig: America’s Jungle-Eating, Belt Fed Freedom Machine

It weighed over 20 pounds, jammed when it felt like it, and chewed through belts of 7.62 NATO like a chainsaw on meth…but for the American warfighter in Vietnam, the M60 was more than just a machine gun. It was an iron pig that ate communism for breakfast. Birth of a Beast Born out of […]

Awesome Machine Guns in The US Army History

Machine guns changed the face of warfare. They industrialized the way wars were fought. They were among the most used weapons during World War I and World War II. With dozens of designs and variations that the US had made, safe to say that the United States was a fan. Here are some of the […]

Suppressor Meltdown: How many rounds can one take?

Suppressor durability is an often discussed topic these days.  As technology, metallurgy and mounting systems change, so too the rate of ablation on these cans change.  The same effect is true of rate-of-fire, with full-auto creating a far more harsh environment within the tube than slower rates of fire. As companies pour more money into […]

Ranger Loadout: MK48 machine gunner

After successfully completing RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Program later renamed RASP) I was assigned to 2nd Ranger Battalion (Cco-MadSlashers). When I arrived at Ft. Lewis it was basically empty.

Marines review Ammo Incorporated ammunition: full auto, suppressors, tracers and more

Sometimes the stars align and a good thing gets even better. It started with getting my shipment of Ammo Incorporated rounds delivered, including their Streak visual ammunition (tracer rounds), Stelth subsonic ammunition, and OPS high-accuracy hollow point ammunition.
