The Steyr AUG – The Great Austrian Bullpup

I’ve been reviewing Steyr AUG for months now and it’s taken that long to really give it a fair review. My time with bullpups was limited so traversing to a bullpup really took some time. It’s easy to compare a bullpup like the Steyr Aug to an AR 15 and then get lost in the […]

Prepping 101: The Gun Question

The gun question: does a prepper need a gun? And if they do, what kind should they buy? I’ve been asked this more times than I care to count. The responses to this question are as varied as the people answering it. Camp AR15 versus camp AK47, team semi-auto against team revolver. In my opinion, it isn’t as simple as what kind […]

Russia’s RPK-74 LMG: A Faithful Servant Since 1974

Russia’s RPK-74 LMG: A Faithful Servant Since 1974

Courtesy of Tactical Life When I was in Russia a little over 12 years ago, I had quite a few contacts with former Desantniks (paratroopers) and Spetsnaz operators and made it a point to ask them about the weapons they had used and their opinions of them. Since most had seen combat in Afghanistan or Chechnya, their views of weapons […]
