Remington R51 (Gen 2) was famously recalled in 2014 and redesigned. This redesigned version finally went on sale on August 12th. I immediately purchased this brand new Remington R51 Generation 2 (2016 version) new in box from my local gun store. I took it home, cleaned it up, and got it ready for a [Read More…]
Following on our earlier post of Who Bought Who, it is also interesting to note companies that are working together to bring new builds and components to market, and to make items more accessible to consumers. KE arms is now the retail distributor for all roller lock [Read More…]
This is probably the most fun suppressed gun I have had the pleasure to shoot. While integrally suppressed semiautomatic rifles in.22LR is nothing new, Innovative Arms’ take on it is different. Just like the Spike’s Tactical Brown Recluse and the H&K [Read More…]
Spike’s Brown Recluse is an impressive 9mm pistol caliber carbine. While the majority of the gun is similar to many other 9mm ARs, the integrally suppressed barrel is where it truly shines. Sure companies can chop a barrel and add long barrel extension to make it [Read More…]
There is nothing sexier in the firearm world than a short barreled rifle (SBR) with a sleek collapsible or folding stock. And the newest trend of integrating the MP5-A3 “two post” style of telescoping stock into the AR platform has brought a new level of [Read More…]
TFB has written several articles about the H&K SP5K, and it’s easy to understand why. We reported about it when it was released officially at IWA in Germany earlier this year. It is now available in the USA according to H&K. The new SP5K was developed by [Read More…]
What a hard list to make, but one that is requested constantly. In this video we discuss five firearms that we believe to stand out among their peers as being exceptionally reliable, choosing a pistol, shotgun, SMG, bolt-action, and a self-loader to top it all off. Transcript … – [Read More…]
Update: The owner of MAG contacted me after the publication of this article to remind me that “there are thousands, not hundreds” of guns in the vault. Somewhere close to 4000 with 1000 of those being handguns and 2000 being machineguns. Clearly my urge to [Read More…]
A good friend of TFB, Ronaldo, sent us some great photos of super secret squirrel type Brazilians training in preparation for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. With large events like the Rio games, any number of scenarios can come up requiring an elite force to respond [Read More…]
The Beretta CX4 storm is an affordable, blowback 9mm carbine that really doesn’t get too much attention here in the States, but is hugely popular in Canada due to a loophole that allows 10 round magazines to be used with it. While the marketplace for pistol caliber carbines is a crowded one, [Read More…]
James has been getting a lot of questions from friends and colleagues lately, asking what guns, ammo, and accessories they need to buy before the next election or any potential “panic” or possible resurgence of the 1994 ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban. In this episode of TFBTV, James [Read More…]
The TFBTV Run and Gun series seems to be a viewer favorite, and it also happens to be the most fun one to make! It allows us to put old rifles to the test and make a short, concise video that can often uncover a few things you wouldn’t normally notice when firing from a […] Read [Read More…]
The Heckler and Koch P7 handgun was designed in the mid 1970s by Helmut Weldle and utilizes an interesting gas-delayed blowback system, whereby pressure imparted on the piston serves to delay the action. The interesting squeeze-cocking mechanism also draws the attention of many for its uniqueness [Read More…]
Some firearms just are more fun to shoot than others, and in this list Alex runs through his five favorite guns to shoot (at this time). Guns don’t have to be expensive to be fun. This list includes some unusual stuff: A single shot breechloader, a centerfire bolt action, a shotgun, a rimfire [Read More…]
Israel Weapon Industries announced the introduction of the 300 BLK caliber into its X95 line of assault rifles. The new military weapons will be shown at the Eurosatory 2016 show in France this month. Until now, the X95 has been available only in 5.56 NATO, 5.45×39 [Read More…]
In either a stroke of clairvoyance or lunacy, the ATF arbitrarily decided one in the favor of gun owners with the new approved arm braces by SB Tactical. Of note, the new braces are attached to collapseable rails to create a multi-functional arm “braces” [Read More…]
As the relatively new kid on the block, Alpha Dog Silencers is not playing it safe. The Alpha 9 centerfire pistol suppressor avoids the plain-old tube design with an offset bore, styled end caps and a top or bottom positioned rail depending on which way you decide to [Read More…]
The German Sturmgewehr is a rifle that needs no introduction. It is a rifle with a historical mystique that results in them being highly coveted among collectors, but they are fine weapons in their own right. In this video we do some shooting with an old MP43. Transcript … (gun cocking) (gun [Read More…]
Found these pictures in a facebook group. 30 bore 7.62×25 Ak full auto and Ar semi auto (no safety) with an mp5 style mag release. These pictures were taken in a rush and both these guns belonged to some private security guards in Karachi Pakistan I [Read More…]
ATF has approved SB Tactical’s new brace design. “We are very excited with the ATF’s approval of our new adjustable Pistol Stabilizing Brace design, and understand the overwhelmingly positive implications of the decision,” said Jeff Creamer, Vice President [Read More…]
After reading our founder’s article, “What would you buy, if there were no restrictions whatsoever”, I’ve really thought a lot about one of his questions: Would Glock start designing fully automatic machine pistols? Would people start buying [Read More…]
The FS2000 is one of the strangest looking firearms that has ever come to market in the USA, but underneath the plastic exterior is a well engineered and reliable action that has seen military adoption in Europe. While the F2000 and its semi-auto only counterpart have never been big sellers, it is a [Read More…]
Here is a video that was shared in a gun group of a guy’s son crushing a tactical drill with a Scorpion Evo 3. Stewie just turned eight. He has his own plate carrier and custom gear that his dad modified or had made for him. Range day…. This is why I [Read More…]
Well, I didn’t realize that I had shot this much over the course of this program. This video contains some shooting highlights filmed over the course of producing TFBTV. I sure have made a lot of memories doing this, and we hope you all have enjoyed our content. Special thanks to Ventura [Read More…]
Jon Stokes has written about Smart Guns technology for the tech blog TechCrunch (warning: his article is a political, this blog post is not). He brings up an excellent point: to what extent are guns designed around laws, rather than the what the market or gun designers [Read More…]
I came across this interesting suppressor in a post about the Stone Mountain Machine Gun Shoot. Alpha Dog Silencers will be there and having a raffle. I was more intrigued by their design. They have added a picatinny rail onto their silencer. Now we have seen useless [Read More…]
Found this photo on social media. The watermark looks to be from Zahal, an Israeli website for tactical gear and accessories. The top two X95s are just your ordinary Micro Tavors. They have 13″ barrels and come in FDE or Black. The third X95 down is the integrally [Read More…]
If you do a lot of shooting then I’m sure you probably have at least one kind of speed loader device in your range bag. Rifle and .22lr mags usually aren’t too difficult to load, but pistol mags can be tiresome after a while, especially Glock mags. Glocks [Read More…]
Wondernines are semi-automatic, high capacity 9mm handguns that truly brought an end to the revolver as a police service pistol in the United States. The term “wondernine” has been used as both a term of endearment and disdain, but the fact of the matter is that they are here to stay. In [Read More…]
I got my hands on a Cosmic X Liberty suppressor from Silencer Shop to try out on my Glock 41 and Glock 21. I am using a Lone Wolf threaded barrel for my Glock 41 and Glock 21. As you can see from the photo above, the Cosmic is rather long. It is longer than […] [Read More…]
