Miculek 1000 yd Offhand Shot With Barret M107 In 2 Secs
Last year Ryan Cleckner shot a 1000yd target offhand with a Barret M107. Well Jerry Miculek has taken that shot a step further. He is using Hornady 750gr A-Max bullet over Cleckner’s 661gr FMJ. Jerry ups the challenge to shooting a 1000 yd target offhand by doing it in as little time as possible. He […]

Gun Explodes in Girl’s Hands
In this old video (dating back to at least 2009) an adult man and a teenage girl are shown shooting M1 Garand rifles. The gun stock is to large for the girl and she is standing in that terrible bent back stance and is rocked back on her heels after every shot. After a few shots […]

Colt is sick, may default on debt
Over the past year or so, if I had wanted to, I would have made a good amount of coin on the back of Colt’s financial troubles. I have been hounded by US and Canadian financial analysts wanting to pay me to comment on Colt firearms. TFB keeps me busy and so I politely decline. They […]

POTD: Yugo enjoying the snow
“Unoriginal” sent us this photo of his Yugo Zastava N-PAP AK in the snow. It looks like he has painted the forend and stock matte black, which in my opinion looks good. The N-PAPs are imported by Century Arms and retail for a little over $500. I have embedded a video review of them below … […]

The Ingenious Devices of Colonel Lewis
Strange Guns (formerly Rare, Antique & Beautiful Firearms) has a short overview of some of Colonel Lewis’s lesser known designs. For example, many people know that it was Hitler’s naming of the MP. 44 “Sturmgewehr” that brought the term “assault rifle” into the popular consciousness, but did you know that one of the first uses […]

John Van Swearingen posted an interesting article over at American Gunfighters. He talks about honing the fundamentals of shooting. Turn back the clock to 2008 and Firearms Training became “sexy” as Swearingen puts it. After Magpul Dynamics posted their videos and made them available for purchase, loads of instructors came out of the woodwork to […]

Third Reich Belt Buckle Gun
A buddy of mine sent me the following video (done by Forgotten Weapons) a couple of days ago of a WWII-era last ditch pistol supposedly built for the Schutzstaffel. “Supposedly” I say because there aren’t really any good records confirming it’s commissioning (and as you would imagine a number of clones popped up afterwards). In […]

It Came From 1956: The Double-Barreled Winchester SALVO Rifle
One of the weapons developed during the early days of small-caliber high velocity research was a double-barreled .22 caliber FAL. This was a follow-on project to the modified T48 (American FAL test rifle) used to test the .22 HV featured in our last Weekly DTIC, itself tested alongside the .22 caliber M2 Carbine as part of […]

Strange Guns: Viet-Cong SVT-40
Maxim Popenker blogs about a modified Viet-Cong SVT-40 with some additional features: While it looks very close to the original SVT-40 carbine, of which only a few thousand were made, it’s more probable that the gun was cut down to size from a full-size rifle. It is, however, consistent so far as I can determine with the […]

Chinese QX-04 Rilfling Delayed Blowback Pistol
Here’s an interesting weapon from Chinese firearms designers (courtesy of Armory Exotic, an excellent blog) – at first it appears to be a pretty mundane-looking handgun, but a closer look reveals a pretty unique operating mechanism: The barrel is spiral-fluted in the opposite direction of the rifling in the barrel. When a bullet is fired […]
