I have been looking at the picture of this setup, trying to figure out how the system works. I think that when you pull the trigger on rifle #1 (middle), it fires and sends its gas to cycle and fire rifle #2 (bottom), which will do the same with #3 (top), which will [Read More…]
Today’s Photo is of the brand new Heckler & Koch MR223 A3 GZ. GZ is short for Gurtzuführung, which is German for belt-fed. This construction will bypass all magazine restriction, as there is no magazine. Well it would be nice if it was true, but it is not. It [Read More…]
I’d like to begin this text to point out that TFB is purely trying to report the facts about gun laws around the World, not the politics, politicians or parties behind. Please bear this in mind when reading and commenting. Dutch is not our first language, but we [Read More…]

Lantac United Kingdom just released these pictures of the 9INE, which is a straight-pull 9×19 mm rifle. Why you ask? Well you are probably allowed to own a wider range of firearms than the (poor) people living in the United Kingdom then. Imagine an Island banning [Read More…]
Who ever said making an AR15 stock was easy? It seems the updates about the KILN stock are about yearly, the latest news TFB have on this stock is just shy of a year old. The first TFB reported about this stock was in November 2016, but the project is developing – [Read More…]
The general approach to shooting was so much more relaxed before. The pictures below are from the shooting range inside the Swedish National Bank, where officials trained with their pistols. Apparently hearing protection was not invented and no-one cared, the staff [Read More…]

The firearm in today’s Photo of the Day has been around since 1948. The producer, SAAB, calls the Carl Gustaf a “man-portable multi-role weapon system.” This makes sense, considering the wide range of ammunition types that can be used. Just take your [Read More…]

Customization is growing in popularity. Customers don’t settle with just another black rifle, so when we order a new one it might be a special Ceracote instead of a black rifle off the shelf. This trend goes even in a small country like Finland (population 5,5 [Read More…]
B&T USA posted this tempting configuration of a B&T TP9-N with an Aimpoint Nano, Telescopic Brace Adapter and a Generation 1 Tail-hook. Any bullets fired through this configuration also have to pass a B&T TP9 Suppressor. Below: If you go with heavy subsonic [Read More…]
I am sure you are aware of the Glock knife already, a military field knife that can be used as a bayonet as well (on the Austrian Steyr AUG for instance). Together with the GLOCK Entrenching tool they are a icons almost like the Glock pistols themselves. This knife has [Read More…]
Most of the articles and news I write come out of a personal interest and a curiosity to learn more, and hopefully share the same to our readers. However, from time to time there are news you’d rather not write about, but still feel obliged to. As I learn that the [Read More…]
The transparent ETS magazines for Glock have been around for a few years. I visited the ETS booth at SHOT Show earlier this year and decided I should try them. However they are not readily available in Europe where I live, but at last I managed to find them at a local [Read More…]
So you think the FN Herstal P90 was revolutionary when it was released in the early 90s? Some (and that would include myself) may argue that the P90 still is revolutionary, but the inventor John L. Hill who worked for Springfield Armory would probably have told you [Read More…]

The R8 Silence from Blaser is an integrated solution for hunters, a rifle and a silencer in one. It looks like a “bull barrel”, but is actually an integrated suppressor. From the start, the R8 Silence was only available in .308 Winchester, which can be a [Read More…]
We just had a look at the Revolving Shotgun (Sibergun RSC410) and it’s now time for another product from the same group. This time we’re going to look at their COSMOS 751 Bolt-Action sniper rifle, with a claimed effective shooting range up to just short if a [Read More…]
Pistol Caliber Carbine, PCC, is growing in popularity. It’s a blast to shoot and matches are far easier to setup than for normal rifles. So it’s understandable that the market offers what the customers are looking for, hence the increase in PCC related [Read More…]
