Ahhh the Calico. A relic of the 1980s that probably should have… died in the 80s. These strange roller delayed blowback 9mm carbines, pistols, and rifles make use of a very strange helical magazine that holds up to 100 rounds (or 50 if your a low capacity kind of guy) and are a bit notorious [Read More…]
At least according to this hunter in the Ukraine. He shoots a duck and he catches it without hardly moving. Pretty lucky shot.

There’s a new video showing tests of Russia’s new 30 mm cannon. We might not remember it by its real name, as it’s a bit awkward: “9-A1-4071K”. I’m sure it will get some evil nick-name in the future, especially from those on the [Read More…]
