Polish Army Purchases 8K Beryl Rifles, Dropping MSBS?
The Polish Army has ordered almost 8,000 Beryl rifles, an improved AK variant. Does this mean the Polish Army no longer has interest in the MSBS, or that they are refilling their stockpiles as MSBS production comes on line? Defense24 has the story: The Armament Inspectorate of the Polish Ministry of Defence is carrying out […]

New Escort line-up of Semi-Auto Shotguns from Legacy Sports
Legacy Sports has introduced their new line-up of youth-oriented shotguns including Escort semi-automatic and Escort Pump shotguns.

Wall Saver Safety Cylinder from Leo Combat
In case one has not yet gleaned it from my posts, I am always all about safety (though do avoid being a “Range Nazi”). As part of that, I truly enjoy seeing innovations that allow shooters to practice with their firearms at their leisure without the possibility of a negligent discharge. Leo Combat offers the […]

Waffen Werle Luger Hybrid Monstrosities
My friend, from Hong Kong, shared this with me. At first I was confused. This couldn’t possibly be real steel. An AK Luger? It doesnt make sense. The barrel is not even attached to the front sight. This looks extremely dangerous. So it has to be airsoft right? Wrong. I discovered Waffen Werle, a German […]

Polish Dynamic Handgun Video Is Well— Dynamic!
With dramatic music, dropped saturation and copious amounts of camera zoom and panning Wilk Tactical makes an intense video showcasing some women going through their dynamic handgun course. There is an awful lot of malfunction drills. You can see use of high capacity Glock magazines and one guy is using what looks like a Roni […]

EOTech Laser Battery Cap for the EOTech 500 Series Holographic Weapon Sight
EOTech Laser Battery Cap (LBC) is an unique product. I would call it more of an add-on module than just a cap. The EOTech LBC replaces the AA battery compartment on the EOTech 512, 552 holographic weapon sights (HWS) and the latest 518 and 558 model with build-in riser w/ QD lever. It’s also available pre-installed with the […]

KE Arms Picatinny Vice Block
Check out this Picatinny vice block from KE Arms. It allows you to lock your ARs upper receiver in a vice via the Picatinny rail and is pretty handy when trying to align your rail and upper during installs. I swap rails on my ARs all the time and it can be a pain for […]

Royal Nonesuch Proves He’s An Idiot (Again)
Royal Nonesuch, a home-made firearms YouTuber has continued to sink to lower lows of safety (although some may argue increases in ingenuity) through his various homemade firearms projects. The latest project show is a .50 Cal firing through a pipe. A preliminary analysis shows that this should have catastrophically failed (especially if the bullet had any […]

Massad Ayoob’s 10 Commandments of Concealed Carry
Sometimes the best instructors are “Old School” and there are (in my opinion) no better old school instructors than Massad Ayoob. So, when he issues commandments (on the Daily Caller), I have a tendency to pay close attention. I mean, who could not fault “Commandment I” COMMANDMENT I: If You Choose To Carry, Always Carry […]

Welcome, Amateur Skynet…
Inventive, yes. Dangerous, yes. Fun, I’ll bet! Seriously though, should we be concerned about amateur assassin drones? How long until we have Action Pistol competitions that are done by drone? It doesn’t look that technologically challenging to do. It seems like you’d have to be super careful about the angles and how it is mounted so […]

Details on Canadian Ranger rifle process
Nathaniel F covered the choice of Sako in an earlier TFB post with some very detailed information about the rifles adoption, so I’m not going to rewrite what was put down about the specifics of the rifle. However Beretta recently released a new press release specifying more information on the trials of the Sako rifles, […]

POTD: When An Airline Bought AR-10s To Kill Polar Bears
It’s 1958. You work as an executive for an airline that has just opened a route across the dangerous arctic, where any crash landing means a game of survival.

Blast From The Past: .58 Schubarth: An Egg of Brass & Lead
There are a lot of weird and wonderful kinds of ammunition out there, but a candidate for the title of “weirdest ammunition” might be the .58 Schubarth. Shaped like an egg on a diet, the .58 Schubarth was originally designed for an American break-action breechloading rifle design from the early 1860s. The round was recently […]

POTD: A Tround And Tround We Go
Matt of the Historical Firearms blog sends us a few photos of the Dardick Tround, a decidedly unusual handgun famous for its absolutely bizarre mechanism that combines both magazine feed and a revolving “nutcracker” cylinder, all made possible by its unusual ammunition, called “trounds”: YouTuber LifeSizePotato has done a review of the gun:

Ruger Precision Rifle: High End, Almost AR
I was not expected Ruger to announce the new Ruger Precision Rifle. They have jumped from strengthening their bolt-action line up on the low-end, with the Ruger American, all the way to the high-end tactical / long range market with this new rifle. The first word that sprung to mind when I saw this rifle was “SEXY”. I love […]
