Tank Gun vs. Truck
I was beginning to wonder how FullMag was going to top the recent video “iPad vs. Minigun.” I was not left to wonder for long. Having been destroying his F-150 using .50Cal and various other rounds, FullMag has opted to give it an explosive send-off using a German anti-tank howitzer from WWII. The PAK 40 is […]

The Wound Channel’s Amazing High Speed Armor Penetration Videos
There’s a lot that can be learned by shooting different rounds at various targets, barriers, armors, etc, but the knowledge that can be gleaned from these sorts of tests is limited, without the aid of very high speed recordings allowing us to actually see what is happening when a projectile strikes a target. In recognition of this […]

5 Hilariously Bad Carry Guns

Australian F90 News Report
Channel 7 news, in Australia, did a report on Lithgow Arms’ F90, the weapon that replaced the Aug Steyr for the Military. It must be quite a thrill to shoot one of these since Australian Citizens can’t own semi automatic rifles. The F90 looks remarkably like the Steyr. How do they avoid copyright infringement? […]

Russian Military Montage
My friend shared this on Facebook. It looks like a montage of Russian Military training. Possibly a recruitment video? Some of it looks fantastical like a James Bond Film, like the scene with the snow camouflaged soldiers sking down a slope and shooting full auto AKs. Any idea what this underwater gun is? The magazine […]

Mag|Coupler
RJK Ventures has a product that might appeal to shooters in California and other capacity restricted states. Called the Mag|Coupler, this device replaces the floorplates of AR-15 magazines to connect them butt to butt. The idea is to maintain the existing magazine capacity while putting a reload closer to hand. While having the two magazines connected in […]

Detonics MkI With, Yes, Forgotten Weapons
Although the concept of a sized-down 1911 has become quite common today there was a time when it was unheard of. The Detonics MkI was the first sub-compact 1911 to be made, and it was a boon for the company not only because it was the first of its kind but because making a 1911 […]

Special Episode: 1911 Pistols From The Government! (TFBTV Weekly Ep. 3)
As part of the passing of the new NDA, a provision allows the government to transfer 10,000 surplus M1911 pistols per year to the Civilian Marksmanship Program, a 501(c)(3) corporation that will allow the public to get ahold of them.

Gear Head Works CZ Scorpion Paddle Magazine Release
The new CZ Scorpion EVO III is an huge ergonomic improvement over the previous iterations of the Scorpion platform. With ambidextrous safety/selector, magazine release, and a reversible charging handle, the weapon is a far more modern design (though I do not know why they did not do the ambi bolt catch/release; C’mon CZ!). Still, the […]
