2,240 Yards with IRON Sights!
Using an off the shelf K31 Swiss rifle (albeit, with hand-loads), Ernie Jimenez reaches out and touches a pink bison target at 2240 yards. Now, there was only four hits in over 80 shots, but the fact that most shots were very near the target is a testament to the marksman. Arguably, he was on-target […]

Surviving D-Day – From MG-42s to Chow
I was blessed to have never been in a firefight while in the Corps (although I did have the oxymoronic itch to be in one), and now having seen this documentary, happy to have not been in one (and simultaneously disappointed). History Channel put together a fantastic documentary looking at the little things that would […]

Safety and Kel-Tec KSG Bullpup – A Couple of Suggestions
Several times in the last year TFB has reported on serious accidents involving bullpups mainly the Kel-Tec KSG. Now some may say it’s the gun and a bad design. I have to take issue with this. The first time I handled a KSG the thought of a possible hand injury came to mind should my […]

Top 5 Service Pistols
A wiser man than us once said, “The only purpose for a pistol is to fight your way back to the rifle you should have never laid down”. This however doesn’t mean that pistols do not have their niches and fill roles where a long gun is too cumbersome or unnecessary. In this installment of […]
