Everyday No Days Off posted this on facebook. I hope this was done as a joke. Who dances with a 5.11 sling pack? I found it humorous that he carefully puts his AR pistol down. He needs to practice a bit more if he wants to be more proficient. The finale with the pumpkin [Read More…]
Like its established AR-platform competition, AK’s come in a huge variety of styles, levels, grades, and configurations. However, unlike the AR, its common for those rifles to vary wildly (relative to the AR) due to the lack of a solid TDP that various companies [Read More…]
Dude Perfect makes videos of themselves performing trick shots. Typically with some type of sports equipment and ball. This time they are using firearms. Some of the tricks are a bit basic but others are rather interesting.

Its incredible to see the differences between the construction of the AR-15 and the AK-47. The AR relies on extensive use of forgings, extrusions, and machining (like those seen in 2A’s video). On the other hand, the AK uses as little of that as possible, using [Read More…]

The French MAS 49 rifles are spectacularly simple firearms that are both reliable and accurate.
