“OK Guys, today we are going to talk about AK and i-ron sights…” in Rob Ski’s accent is a great start to what I will label a classic schooling in the efficacy of an AK’s iron sights. Replete with cut-tos of Mr. Ski himself shooting long [Read More…]

One of the few people I have met in person and trust with instruction on an AK is Rob Ski (it does help that Rob has a real accent, not a fake one like some other infamous YouTuber). Fresh up from his growing comradery of AK operators is a video on the basic AK [Read More…]

LAV is an exception. He is a celebrity and generally I choose to ignore celebrities. However, not everyone has LAV’s impressive resume and now long teaching career. As such, I am inclined to listen to him. Larry Vickers has announced that all AIWB holsters are [Read More…]

Okay, I was a little bit sarcastic in the title, but the idea behind Dragon Skin armor is to use overlapping discs of armor. That said, I would hope that they would not use a hockey puck as the basis of the armor, as it fails miserably in defeating either a .30 carbine [Read More…]
Just when you thought the number of 10/22 SKUs had reaches its peak, along comes another one to add to the mountain. Latest up is the 10/22 Collector’s Series Carbine Rifle – Second Edition (curious how many editions I will see in my lifetime…). While [Read More…]
The inexorable march of pink camouflage marches on. Its latest victim (er… “partner”) is UTAS who has implemented it on its UTAS bullpup shotgun. Its announcement includes the usual drivel of how “aggressive” the Muddy Girl Camo is on the [Read More…]
HiperFire (one on my personal favorite triggers out there… as they designed something novel instead of making a wheel rounder) has announced the release of their TH-24 trigger in collaboration with Tarheel 3-gun. The trigger is in essence the 24-C, but adds in a [Read More…]
Most of the time, we at TFB get to test products. Typically, they are evolutions on top of one another, with new features that push the envelope of accuracy, durability, usability, and/or aesthetics. I enjoy them, but is not often that we are asked to review a new idea [Read More…]

Travis Haley is always all about speed and economy of movement. Since the famous Magpul video, he has expanded from being just a high-speed trainer into a low-drag innovator (I admit it, I own and regularly use an Incog holster). His latest release is a rather nifty [Read More…]
If you previously watched on how water can deflect bullets in the D-Day post last week, one should know that merely a few feet of water is enough to slow a conventional bullet down from lethal to an annoying bump. As such, its an interesting question on how divers can [Read More…]
Never having enough ammo to just go out and test this philosophy, I am grateful to our own Ian Mccullum from Forgotten Weapons for experimenting to see if the SlideFire is indeed useful as a support-weapon. Turns-out, yes. While the Slidefire may not simulate [Read More…]
I love watching The Slingshot Channel. There is just something alluring to the completely affable Joerg Sprave and his various rubber-powered inventions. Until now, he has not show you how something was built, instead only showing various objects thrown at high-speed. [Read More…]

Using an off the shelf K31 Swiss rifle (albeit, with hand-loads), Ernie Jimenez reaches out and touches a pink bison target at 2240 yards. Now, there was only four hits in over 80 shots, but the fact that most shots were very near the target is a testament to the [Read More…]
I was blessed to have never been in a firefight while in the Corps (although I did have the oxymoronic itch to be in one), and now having seen this documentary, happy to have not been in one (and simultaneously disappointed). History Channel put together a fantastic [Read More…]

While the vast majority of us use guns for defense, fun, and hunting; I believe it necessary to ensure that we never forget the toll by which our freedom comes. Neil Halloran, an animator has come up with an utterly mesmerizing (and sobering) graphic representation of [Read More…]
Prior to seeing the beautiful photo expose on MessyNezzyChic, I had no idea this place existed in the world (especially surprising, considering the 30+ times I’ve been to France on business). The “Zone Rouge” is “forsaken territory” from [Read More…]
An answer to a question I haven’t thought to ask, Freedom Printing 3D tested two of the most common materials used for 3-D printing, ABS and PLA. Using a simple hammer, the ABS lower receiver was able to stand up significantly better to impact. Comparatively, the [Read More…]
