Scenario Brief [Airfield Sabotage] M16A1 vs. L1A1 + Trilux SUIT 4x scope (Pick One Ep.4)

Can you hear it? The nonstop high winds that sting your face with rain droplets. It’s cold. You smell the smoke of burning jetfuel with semtex. You hear a faint chopping sound in the horizon from the blades of a Wessex HU5 helicopter…

[private preview] Israeli Spy/Assassination Pistol - Beretta Model 71 in .22lr

The Atlas Chaos - Fastest Flattest 9mm (2011, Race Gun, Atlas Gunworks)

The 2011 has grown in popularity over the last few years thanks in large part to the Staccato line making the rounds on social media.  So today, we take a look at a purpose built competition pistol designed to maximize the speed and accuracy of the shooter.  Atlas Gunworks made headways into the market several years ago with the concept of custom building/hand assembling a small line of firearms without major additional customization.  This allowed Atlas to decrease lead times ...

Galil Ace 32 (7.62x39) + Primary Arms 2x ACSS to 500yds: Practical Accuracy

In 2008, IWI released the Galil ACE. A complete overhaul of the old Galil family of rifles to bring the series into the millennium... this was 3 years before Kalashnikov Concern came out with their AK12, featuring the collapsable/ folding stock, upgraded selector, railed front end, combination gas block, extended rear sight radius and railed hand guard.   

The Galil ACE fulfilled all of these categories and raised it a non-reciprocating charging handle and a thumb selector. &n...

U.S. Rifle M1903a3 "03-A3" to 500yds: Practical Accuracy

The U.S. M1903A3 was an improvement over the M1903 rifle with a rear aperture sight that was faster to produce during wartime. The "re-chambered Mauser" was a common sight in the Pacific Theater even up till the 70's when the U.S. Navy finally retired them.   

Since it's employment, the M1903A3 has been a crowd favorite at CMP / NRA service rifle matches for it's excellent sighting system, but how does it do on our field?   Why does Henry not prefer the front sight? ...

AK "Alpha Trainer" to 500 yds: Practical Accuracy

The Russian Special Operations or Spetsnaz AK 102 / 105 has been seen over and over in operations in the Middle East and Ukraine. 

While overseas in some countries, these builds are still easily attainable, with import restrictions, and foreign production (for US sales) decreasing, we find ourselves wondering what we could do to familiarize ourselves to the "Russian Alpha AK".   

Introducing the "Alpha Trainer"; an ongoing project that Josh is working on with this A...

Kriss Vector Gen II: a PDW for Vehicle / Concealment [Full Auto] The Division SMG

Guys this has been a long time coming (1 year to be exact). 

We think the Vector is one of the best PDWs on the market. Unfortunately it suffers from being marketed as an SMG, and gun tubers constantly treating it like a toy, so nobody really tests it for it's true potential. 

What do you think?

Swiss ZFK55 Sniper Rifle to 650yds: Practical Accuracy (Feat. BOTR...Zf Kar 55 Sniper with GP11ammo)

In 1955, the Swiss launched their new sniper rifle, the Zf. Kar. 55; a K31 styled straight pull rifle that had next to zero interchangeable parts with the K31. Since there were only around 4,150 rifles produced, these are quite rare worldwide, but regardless, we dissect the intricacies of the Swiss sniper rifle and sniper doctrine.   

We'd like to thank the following for making this possible:  

Jeff, the owner of this great example of the Zf. Kar. 55.

H&K's MP5 and the British SAS..... running CQB with 3-point slings

H&K's MP5 revolutionized the role of the submachine gun for the world. In some cases, the MP5 seems to be even more proliferate than the G3, of which it was based on... but why?   

Why did the SAS choose the MP5 for short distances and CQB engagements? How did the SAS use the 3 point sling to aid in their operations?   

We do a deep dive into the MP5 and PTR9 in this episode.

AK 103 - The last 7.62x39 by Mikhail Kalashnikov (Feat. Vladimir Onokoy)

The AK 103 is the last full length 7.62x39 AK 100 series rifle designed by General Kalashnikov himself. While many may contend that the AK103 is just another modernized AKM... that could not be further from the truth.   We delve into why the AK 100 series was a significant step forward for Izhmash (formerly Izhevsk Arsenal) to take, why it has been such a commercial success, and how it further's the Kalashnikov's reputation of a legendary durability with prominent Russian small arms...

Polish Beryl

The Polish Beryl was and is the only NATO issued Kalashnikov in 5.56, it marched Poland out of communism and into it's new existence as a member of the NATO security alliance. What sets it apart? What does it say about the republic? 

Expert Marksmen reporting in...

Range week and the rifle qualification are the cornerstone of any Soldier or Marine's indoctrination.   

This is vital to train service members to proficiently operate their main weapon system, but more importantly to have the confidence in engaging an enemy at distance with the same rifle that they will eat, sleep, carry, and grow comfortable with.   

INDOCTRINATION is the key word here.  It is extremely valuable for a military commander to have a force b...
