I knew before I wrote the list of potential contenders for the next French rifle I would take a lot of flak for it (some of it more than justified), but I do appreciate the comments and discussion. My response to many of your questions is below … @Tinkerer and [Read More…]
I first reported rumors that the French would be replacing the FAMAS rifle back in 2009. During a recent meeting with the Commission of Defense, the French CEMAT (Chef d’Etat Major de l’Armée de Terre / Chief of Staff of the Army), General Ract Madoux, [Read More…]

Not yet having become a parent I am frequently amused by how competitive parents can be. If you put a few parents of toddlers in a room together the conversation inevitably turns to a discussion about which of the genius offspring walked first, talked first, ate carrots [Read More…]
Since I last wrote about it last year, the GMG (Gas Machine Gun) has come a long way. It no longer resembles a pistol carbine, but instead a large bullpup rifle. The 50-round drum magazine is loaded with reusable shell casings. The gun can fire anything that fits into [Read More…]

The song is a very clever parady of No Doubt’s hit Don’t Speak. I think we all have been that idiot at one time or another in our lives. I was cured of range idiocy at a young age by a zealous range officer. [ Many thanks to Al for emailing me the link. ]
An industry insider has confirmed that next year SIG will begin manufacturing SIG516 rifles chambered in .300 AAC BLK. These rifles will probably be introduced at SHOT Show. The more rifles running this cartridge the better 🙂
Back in the 80s the US Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) procured SIG Sauer P226 pistols for the SEALs. The NSWC version of the P226 was later sold to the public as the SIG P226 Navy. Unbeknown to me, the Navy has recently given the latest version of their P226 the [Read More…]
I have read criticisms of Kalashnikov for having made the selector/safety go from safe to full automatic (and then semi) and that he made this decision because of Soviet “pray and spray” doctrine. The truth is that the beauty of the AK-47 selector is that [Read More…]

A ARFCOMer noticed the spent cases from his 1994-vintage Glock 20 (10mm Auto) appeared to be very close to failing (see case photo below). The problem seems to be that the rounds were not sufficiently supported by the chamber. A replacement factory barrel gave the cases [Read More…]

Earlier this year a company called G.Skill introduced AR-15 inspired PC RAM. Gigabyte has now introduced a motherboard inspired by the Stoner’s iconic rifle. All I want to know is if those picatinny rails are mil-spec. [ Many thanks to Mirza for emailing me the [Read More…]
