CZ Scorpion Evo SBR Run and Gun
The CZ Scorpion Evo 3 has caused quite a few waves this year as a great potential SBR candidate at a decent price point. The ergos are quite nice and the carbine is very compact, but how will it perform on the run and gun course? Well, we are a little rusty with modern guns, […]

Be Our Guest Rifle Parody Video
Phuc Long of Firepower United made a parody of Disney’s Be Our Guest, the famous song from Beauty and the Beast. He re-wrote the lyrics to reflect options to accessorize your rifles. You can hear his accent fade as he forces a faux French accent. I think Phuc Long is the Asian equivalent of FPS […]

Hexmag AR15 Grip
Shoot outside of an air-conditioned range – especially here in Florida – and you’ll quickly discover the need for one of two things: gloves or texturing on every gun contact point. Maybe both! Sweaty hands and smooth polymer don’t play well together, which explains the popularity of textured magazines like the Hexmag. Well if you’re […]

Review: Ballistic Advanced Edition
Ballistic App This past March I bought the Ballistic app for my iPad and played a little with it. A number of you readers jumped in with comments, and the general consensus is that the app was great, but the interface was complicated and documentation was sparse.

Black Rain Ordnance M-LOK Rail System
Words are cheap. Action defines character. When Magpul put their money where their mouth was, pulled up shop and moved to Texas, they showed their character. Likewise, when they developed the M-LOK mounting system and offered it as a free licensed platform for all manufacturers to use, they demonstrated a genuine interest in fostering compatibility […]

Gifts for your Gunner, Part III, the $100 Range
We debated creating a “money is no object” gift list, but it basically became a hunt for the most expensive items out there. Holland & Holland weapons, Wilson Combat custom pistols, and loads of custom work festooned the list which was basically just a showboat list. Yes, I (and we would contend that most readers […]

New Meaning to “Live Targets” from the Ukraine
Some training exercises leave a bit to be desired but when you’re in the military you’re there to follow orders, not custom-tailor your own CrossFit program. While there are certainly physically and mentally grueling drills and training exercises going on here in the United States it would appear the foreign militaries have the market cornered […]
