A while back I blogged about the, quite frankly, ugly bullpup kit by Centerfire Systems for the AK-47 that could be used with a Saiga-12. The Kushnapup is a much better looking system designed specifically for the Saiga-12 shotgun. This video shows 10 slugs being fired [Read More…]
Matt keeps a list of firearm giveaways over at his website. He updates it monthly. Well worth checking out.

Indian soldiers are complaining about the INSAS rifles they are issued. One of the chief complaints is the poor sling design. It breaks easily and its placement on the rifle obscures the front sight! Times of India reports: Also, its sling often snaps while firing, [Read More…]
A while ago a friend recommended I try the game Call of Duty (Modern Warfare). After reading Traction Control’s review I knew I had to give it a go. Soon after I became addicted. I was looking forward to the Modern Warfare sequel but, after reading the excellent [Read More…]

The MP5SD is the integrally suppressed version of the famous MP5 submachine gun. This video, taken by the THOR Group, shows just how silent the gun is. Unlike most videos on YouTube the sound on this video is very clear and you can distinctively hear that a lot of the [Read More…]
The 5.7mm Xpress (left) Yes, it is a joke 🙂 If it were fired the force would likely rip the copper jacket from the lead, disintegrating the bullet. Hat Tip: Say Uncle

I am back from my impromptu break. Why are new products always released when I take a break? It is annoying.
If you are attending Defense Systems & Equipment International (DSEi) 2009 in London next week please get in touch with me. It would be great to have someone at the show who can take photos of firearms on display so I can post them on the blog.

Albert A Rasch has written a review (Part 1 and Part 2) on SeigeWorks “American” Longbow. These beautiful traditional style bows, without all the ugly gears and pulley that modern compound bows feature, really appeals to me.
SayUncle.com has turned 7 years old! What a major achievement, I have only been going for two years and it feels like 200 hundred! All I can say is that if you are not reading SayUncle, you should be.
Being the complete and certified gun nut that I am, few thing excite me more than coming across unique and exotic firearms, the more unique, exotic and arcane the better! Sucang, a resident of Xinhua, Taiwan, sent me these photos of his antique shotgun. He was hoping [Read More…]
