Rihanna’s music video for the song Hard features lot of guns. Plenty of M4′s (being fired in a very careless manner) and XM-8s can be seen. Seems that while Hollywood has figured out that the XM8 is no longer cool, the music industry has not. [Hat Tip: [Read More…]

The NYTimes.com has published two videos recorded by Colt Defense. They compare the M4 and the M4A1. The NYTimes reports … That video shows the same test with an M-4 equipped with a thicker, heavier barrel, which is used on a specialized carbine, known as the [Read More…]

Danger Room reports on a unique pistol made by German firm Armatix. The gun is armed by a wristwatch and disarmed when the watch is out of range. The .22 pistol sells for 7000 EUR ($9750)! Obviously this device is very impractical in the real world. The bright green [Read More…]
As many of you saw, I had to resort to public begging to get into the Advance Armament Corporation party aka. BIG BANG 2010. Fortunately Cara Brittingham took pity on me and hooked me up with tickets not only for myself but also for my talented photographers Bryan and [Read More…]
I admit to being one of those smart-asses you find lurking in gun shops who insist on using the correct pronunciation for the names of foreign guns 😉 Laurent was kind enough to record an MP3 for us which demonstrates the pronunciation of French firearms and [Read More…]
