MAC Shoots the Daewoo K2
Tim from Military Arms Channel was able to get his hands on a Daewoo K2, an interesting derivative of the base AR-15 that has some features reminiscent of the venerable AK platform. The rifle itself has an interesting history, which ends with it still being in service as the primary service rifle of the Republic […]

TFB’s Weight Omnibus Part 3.1: Stragglers!
The most consistent request I received in the comments of my Weight Omnibus posts (if you didn’t catch them, here are Part I, Part II, and Part III) was to continue to expand the content of this series, both in the guns measured and the analysis of them. Further analysis will have to wait until another […]

Taking a Closer Look At the Differences Between the ACR and the MSBS
Since the announcement that Fabryka Broni is seeking to import the MSBS modular rifle into the United States civilian market, there has been a great deal of discussion about the relationship of the MSBS to the Remington ACR or Magpul Masada. The two rifles are very similar, similar enough that I’ve previously referred to the […]

Walther MPL Field Strip

Armtac Monotube Integral Suppressor
Very interesting. Having shot my 22LR rifles with my Spectre II and seeing the VSO Gun Channel talk about the YHM Integral suppressor, this Armtac sounds impressive. ARMTAC Monotube integral suppressor on a CZ 455 .22 bolt action rifle. THIS is more than “movie gun quiet.” Here is a video of Armtac’s M&P15-22 suppressed. […]

Unity Tactical Clutch Belt
Unity Tactical, who has produced the EXO Mount for Surefire weapon lights and the Monkey Bar MBUS Pro Offset mount has a new product hitting the market–a sort of cummerbund battle belt pouch system. I know right? Kind of a strange idea, though not an entirely new concept–kind of similar to the Das Ding (or […]

More On The Fedorov Avtomat
The Fedorov Avtomat is an important milestone in the history of modern small arms. With the Federov, for the first time, an individual soldier could possess automatic firepower in a package small enough to move and fight with, while at the same time not significantly compromising the range or effectiveness of the bolt-action rifle. However, the weapon fell […]

Firearms Food for Thought: Caliber versus Shot Placement
It’s a frequent argument, one prone to sparking tempers in person and on social media – pretty much any time it comes up. Is shot placement truly everything and if it is, does that mean it doesn’t really matter what caliber of handgun you conceal carry? Is carrying a pocket pistol chambered in .380 ACP […]

Phteve’s Handgun Selection Tool
Shopping for a new handgun is often a chore for those familiar with the market, and downright bewildering for those just being introduced to it. What should I buy, a striker-fired, hammer fired, DA/SA, SAO, DAO, semiautomatic, or revolver? Caliber? Is 9mm good enough, or do I need something with a “4”? There isn’t an […]
