Seeing large nuts hanging from the back of lifted trucks meant it was just a matter of time until someone actually injection molded some realistic testicles for the same lift trucks to up their game. In a sense, this was a natural evolution. However, in the firearms [Read More…]
Raise your hand if you’ve bought a gun based solely on the advertising and photography in a firearms magazine. Yeah, me too. Have you ever stopped to think about what goes in to a successful (and honest) advertising campaign? Recently I had the chance to speak [Read More…]

I have been a willing spectator (and participant at my day job) in the pursuit of reducing weight from firearms. Armed with billet, companies are using CNC machines and a bit of engineering to remove in many cases over 95% of the base billet into some truly unique [Read More…]

A number of firearms have played iconic roles in movies, film, and tv shows over the years. Clint Eastwood’s .44 Magnum in Dirty Harry or the plethora of P90’s in Stargate (yes, I am totally a nerd). From there, one can point to plenty of other examples. [Read More…]

So the Internet seem to have gone mental with the release of the HERA Arms CQB stock and front grip. To complicate things further, there were a few random pictures released filling up my social media flow. Was it the HERA once again, or another concept? They looked very [Read More…]

My friend Calvin asked to see a comparison of muzzle flash on an AK47. He was curious how much a factory Slant Brake could mitigate flash if at all compared to a bare muzzle. I took him up on it and said I could film it. I took my RAS47 out to my local range. […] [Read More…]
