War games just got more fun. Raytheon has applied for a patent on a simulated M18 Claymore Anti-Personal Mine for the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) training system. The patent describes a device that looks like a claymore but instead of hundreds of [Read More…]
My internet at home is not working but should be fixed shortly. Expect blog posts tomorrow morning.
This pistol belonged to a member of EOKA, a group who fought against the British and Turkish for Cypriot independence during the 1950’s. The barrel on the pistol is a 20mm cartridge case! I think the general idea was to pack a very small charge of blackpowder at [Read More…]
A couple of SNAFUs caused images not to load in some situations, such as when reading the blog on Google Reader in certain web browsers. This has now been fixed. Another problem of some pages displaying incorrectly has been fixed. The site colors have also been tweaked. [Read More…]
I forgot to mention this last week, but better late than never. Gun Nuts Radio, a live podcast run by Caleb and Breda, has just had their one year anniversary. They now have over 2000 listeners! A big congratulations to Caleb and Breda. I can only imagine the amount of [Read More…]
Fat White Man has posted photos of his new Gun Room. What a nice setup! I am very jealous. He even has a gun woodwork area for stock work!
In the past I have blogged intermittently on the weekend. From now on I will not blog on Saturday or Sunday unless there is some breaking news. This gives me some time to work on longer posts for the upcoming week, site maintenance and to get outside for shooting and [Read More…]
Vote for David has written a detailed tutorial on producing great looking photos of a gun bores like the photo below. I highly recommend reading it. Beautiful!
I am often asked by readers how they can get a job in the firearms industry but since I have never worked in the industry I cannot offer any advice. Frederic emailed me a link to a recruitment company called Shooting Search that specializes in the “shooting, [Read More…]
Thanks to Sven for sending it through.
I think I visibly shuddered when I watched this video (It is safe for work). The video was taken at one of James Yeager’s Tactical Response Fighting Pistol classes. The photographer seen forward of the firing line is Jay Gibson, one of the Tactical Response [Read More…]
I have a fluid dynamics question that I am very keen to ask an engineer or physicists. If you are able to run some numbers through that fancy modeling software you people have, that would be great. I would publish your answer on the blog, with full credit given to you. [Read More…]
Bitter has written an interesting post about the firearms and outdoor industry and the New Media. In short they are clueless (of course if you work in the industry and read blogs, then he is not talking about you).
I rarely watch The Daily Show but I got a good laugh from this video. The biggest joke of course is that its all true. Much better than The Onion’s take on guns. Thanks to Sven for the link.
Those of you who do not work in the IT industry may not have heard about the new search tool from Google called Squared which launched yesterday. It takes a search query and turns it into a database. It handles firearms very well. It can find out the range, caliber, [Read More…]
The Wall Street Journal has a fascinating article about the legal and illegal gun cultures in China, a country where civilian gun ownership is banned (at least among those without wealth or power). Shanghai — China’s weapons laws are among the world’s [Read More…]
Kellene, who blogs at Woman of Caliber, gives the ladies some tips on range attire … Ladies, let’s face it. Given that there are very few female firearm instructors, no one has come right out and provided sound “fashion” advice to women for their trips to [Read More…]
I am pleased to say I am back blogging. I have lots of stuff to post on the blog and also have some cool features planned for the blog. I did post a few things during my break, so if you have just come back since the beginning of my break to read the blog […] [Read More…]
I have loads of work this upcoming week and will be working very late everyday. I will be unable to blog until Tuesday 26 May 🙁 After this work is complete I won’t need to take a blogging break for quite a while. I hate taking breaks, I feel so behind [Read More…]

On the previous post about the P6 pistol, I said that the P6 was a clone of the Browning Baby. George corrected me in the comments: Sorry dude, but you are wrong. The P6 you show is NOT a copy of a baby Browning, but a significantly different design by Bernardelli of [Read More…]
It is good to be back. Unfortunately I was not on vacation, I was instead working my backside off! There are hordes of recently released guns, civilian and military, that I need to be blogged 🙂
Good news. I will be back at the blog tomorrow. – Steve
I have so much work I am pretty much going to be working, eating, sleeping and nothing else until Tuesday. I also doubt I will be able to make any progress through my 100+ email backlog.
…. literally Post at MP.net Okay, so we were out on a mission yesterday to provide security/overwatch for a team to do an audit/inspection of a civilian demining company clearing land mines in the Stan. We get there and are in our vehicles covering the roads for [Read More…]
Seen at SayUncle. I am at a loss for words, two of my favorite things, guns and meat, combined 😀 Now if somebody would design a nice leather holster for it … Hat Tip: UberGizmo
I incorrectly stated on a couple of occasions that Remigiusz Wilk aka. REMOV, who has contributed many photos to the blog, was a professional military photographer. He is in fact the editor-in-chief of Polish firearm magazine Bron i Amunicja (which translates as [Read More…]
I am back! A big thanks to my brother who moderated the comments. I would not have been able to turn on auto-moderation because of the sheer amount of spam the blog has been getting over the past week. If you have emailed me while I was away, expect a delay in getting a [Read More…]
