In the early 1970s, Nelmo Suzano had already decided to concentrate his design efforts on submachine guns, at the same time that he tried to attract the necessary funds to support his design work and, eventually, create production facilities. Of all places, some support [Read More…]
Last year at SHOT we covered a company producing a different type of action camera–MOHOC. What is better about these cameras, in my opinion, is that they are not only more discreet than the GoPros that we are all familiar with, but they are inherently more rugged. [Read More…]
