The Firearm Blog

Sorry guys, I have been sick during the past week so been unable to blog as much. I should be better in a few days.

Sorry, no posts today.

This behind-the-scenes video shows the guns used in the movie Public Enemies. It includes footage of Johnny Depp at the range

Just after Metal Storm share trading was halted by the ASX, the company announced they have secured funding from a UK investment group ...

Metal Storm Limited is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement in relation to an A$20.2 million equity line of credit (LOC) facility from UK-based investment fund Global Emerging Markets (GEM) Global Yield Fund to provide funds for the commercialisation of Metal Storm's core defence technology products.

[ Many thanks to Daniel E. Watters for sending me the info. ]

This video shows the internals of the H&K HK416. One nifty feature is that the handguard screws were designed so that they could be unscrewed using the bolt lugs. The video is well worth watching.

Video was made by GunWebsites.

The civilian HK416 is expected to arrive next year.

[ Many thanks to the reader who emailed me the video. ]

Lookin' good Mr. Bane! Also, I don't know if it is just the photo, but that rifle looks like it has a very nice looking furniture.

I am back blogging!

A HUGE thank you to all the guest authors who wrote articles for the blog during my break. Your hard work has been much appreciated by me and, I am sure, all the readers as well.

Once again my email backlog is slowly killing me slowly. I am about one month behind, so do not be offended if I take a while to reply to your emails.

Sig Sauer have in the past shipped two magazines with their pistols. They announced today that they would only be shipping one magazine because of unprecedented demand. From the press release:

This change in configuration is a result of the critical shortage of magazines throughout the industry. SIG SAUER’s decision to ship commercial pistols with one magazine will allow existing and new orders to be processed without interruption.

Without this change in policy, magazine availability would severely hinder SIG SAUER’s ability to meet market demand and ship product in a timely manner. Distributor and dealer single magazine pistol shipments commence immediately.

I do wonder if this is simply a way to make extra profit and spinning it in a positive manner.

I am pretty swamped with emails right now. Please expect a delay before I can reply to your emails. Thanks.

Sigh. On another website I have been accused of being racist. Apparently some people decided that my guy-with-a-ski-mask was a black guy being shot by a white guy.

One guy is the “good” guy, the other is a criminal wearing a ski mask (like all stereotypical criminals wear).

I have to admit that it could look it was a black guy being shot by a white guy, so I apologize to anyone who was offended. It never occurred to me that the ski mask did not look like a ski mask. and I have altered the cartoon.

I had a nice, if short, break and have hit the ground blogging.

SHOT is coming soon and I am excited. There will be some very cool guns and gear that are sure to be unveiled

I am away until the 7th. Blogging with resume then.
