The RPG is a rocket-propelled shaped charge antitank weapon that took its philosophical foundation from the German WWII Panzerfaust (although it shares little with that weapon mechanically). Over the course of WWII, the armor on tanks quickly because too heavy for man-portable anti-tank rifles to defeat. The RPG-7 is pretty far from being a forgotten […]
The market for the discrete carry of firearms is only growing. At one point the industry took a sharp right turn at a sign reading smaller is better. I think this is due to the advent of pistol braces. Pistol braces have made unwieldy and often front heavy guns like the pistol variants of the […]
The earliest surviving firearm in Europe was found in Estonia and dates back to 1396. Hand held firearms were employed by 15th century armies.

The NFA is one of the largest infringements on our second amendment rights ever. What I love about the firearm industry is the fact that engineers beat government every time. Pistol braces are an example of that. I love pistol braces and the realm they occupy. Certain large pistols in the AR or AK platform […]

Aesthetically and physically the rifle was built with purpose. It is truly a dream build. 6.5mm Creedmoor is not a round […]

Even the best glass relies on the user to develop his or her optic skill set. Try out some of these ideas to improve your next glassing experience. Don’t Expect Easy Easy glassing? That’s a bull […]
One of the things that I find fascinating about the world of firearms training is how fast opinions or personal anecdotes become set-in-stone rules. “Rules” like… The 21 foot rule EVERYONE will have tunnel vision in a defensive shooting situation 2 to the body and 1 to the head solves all problems You’ll never see […]
