Review: Lipsey’s Larry Vickers Glock 19 Limited Edition
Lipsey’s makes some very nice limited edition guns and this particular Glock 19 with Larry vickers parts is no exception.

In this video, […]

1970s Bundeswehr G3 Rifle Manufacturing Video
Here is a video my friend Jim shared with me. It is a film made in the 70s and shows some of the manufacturing process for the HK G3. The video is interesting to watch but the music is a bit dated. I am expecting Adam West as Batman to show up at any moment. […]

The Grok Test: AR-15 vs. AK-47
We’ve all heard the line about how the AK-47 is so simple a child could use it (usually followed by a nod and a wink and a dark joke about child soldiers), but how does it really shake out as a simple-to-use weapon of poorly educated peasants? William of The Wound Channel explores that idea with […]

AD or ND: Discerning the Truth Based on Pictures
Warning: Graphic images below. They appear with far greater frequency than one would hope to see, and although it used to be the original poster would claim the images came from the ever-mysterious “friend” it seems the majority no longer hesitate to claim ownership. They’re pictures of gunshot wounds, and not the kind that take […]

Walther MPL Run and Gun (Full Auto)
The Walther MPL is a gun that we have showed lots of love on TFBTV, mostly because it is in our opinions an underrated SMG. This open bolt 9mm from West Germany was introduced in the early 60s and could have been a very prolific little SMG… and then the MP5 came along. That said, […]

Remy Deville, a French competitive shooter, posted these videos from some matches. I assume they were in France. First up is a stationary bike.

Return of the Sweet Sixteen
The Sweet Sixteen shotgun was one of the iconic scattergun models made by Browning in the last century. Built between 1936 and 1976, the 16 gauge semi-automatics were adored by many hunters who liked the lighter gun that produced near 12 gauge performance. Even though the 16 gauge has fallen out of favor with many, […]

Breaking Down Single & Two-Stage Triggers
I love YouTube. Yes, one can get distracted by a wide variety of cat videos, but for the firearms enthusiast, its a veritable cornucopia of information. Videos exist for “Forgotten Weapons” (a channel that I strongly recommend that one subscribes to), and full overviews like we did a few days ago with the PSG-1, which our […]
