Unproduced Browning Shotgun Patent From 1896
The Historical Firearms blog has a very interesting post on a forgotten John Browning patent for a (then-advanced) pump-action shotgun. The weapon features an enclosed hammer, dual extractors, and a tilting locking block reminiscent of the later M1918 automatic rifle. The gun in many ways foreshadows the “Perfect Repeater” Winchester 1912, but differs in a few […]

Micro-bullets Shot at Graphene For Testing
R&D Magazine (a nerd favorite of mine) has covered some development testing of graphene. Materials scientist Edwin “Ned” Thomas or Rice University has looked at the material as a future component to body armor. Its high strength and lightweight make it ideal for body armor (if it just wasn’t so expensive). Using micro-bullets of about […]

7.65 Argentine Spotter Round Detonation!
While digging through the IAA Forum (an excellent resource for the cartridge collector) archives for data on the 7.65 Argentine, I came across these two threads chronicling two separate instances of spotter ammunition detonating while using an impact puller to remove the bullet! Yikes! “Spotting” or “observation” rounds as they are called are distinct from tracers in that they contain […]

The Development of The 1911
If you’re a gun person, John Browning probably makes the top of your list of “greatest firearms designers”, and for many, the 1911 handgun is his finest creation. There’s an argument to be made that (certainly for the time) the 1911 is as perfect a handgun as can be made by human hands, but it […]

Testing AR Barrel Length Though Scientific Methods
I have never been one to subscribe too much to the barrel length debate. I do know that through my shooting I generally keep my .308 equipped with a 20in barrel and my .223/556 barrels vary from 14.5in to 20in, depending on the application. While I understand that there is velocity loss though less gas […]

Grip Pod GPS-SAW-CL
When I first learned to shoot a long gun, we didn’t have forward grip devices, nor the “C” grip technique (not that they weren’t available in general, just not to me). Our push/pull method involved the forward hand gripping the front of the magazine well. A handle on the front of the gun was something […]
