HOT GAT or FUDD CRAP? Deadpool's Back or Am I Having a Panic Attack? In this episode of TFBTV, James tests Wolf Steel Ammunition against Wolf Gold Ammunition in order to see if there’s a difference in quality and accuracy, or if either of them can beat 1 MOA – that is to say if either of them can put up a five round group in less than a […] [Read More…]
Have you ever thought that 7.62x39mm and .243 Winchester can be a pair of cartridges that are dangerous if mixed? Of course, any cartridge is dangerous if not used in a gun it is chambered for and nobody should do it. However, there are some pairs of cartridges known [Read More…]
There was a bit of a dust up back before the National Rifle Association’s Annual Meetings (NRAAM) when it was announced that the US Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) had been disinvited to the exposition. Since that time the NRA officially launched its [Read More…]
Some funny photos taken by Greg Skazinski. When people say a certain gun is too big for AIWB carry just show them this and tell them they are not trying hard enough. The Xmas sweaters are a nice touch. Anyone recognize the optic in the photo above? At first I thought it [Read More…]

If you sadly live in New Jersey, New York, Maryland or Massachusetts and actually like firearms, your list of legal AR-15s can probably fit on the bar napkin you drink your sorrows away on. OK, that is slightly over the top, but legal ones are few and far between. Ruger [Read More…]
SilencerCo has upped their status in outrageous stunts. Parachuting from the sky with silenced weapons and shooting them. My hat is off to you. This looks like a lot of fun. DISCLAIMER: Ever wonder what it would be like to shoot under canopy? We did, so we teamed [Read More…]
Today I stumbled across a handful of the most underrated videos on YouTube. Published in 2013, the video below (and five others like it) showcase a CAD simulation of the volume of escaping gasses, and the amount of force enacted on the individual baffles, on a muzzle [Read More…]
This device is not only designed to assist the slide racking but also works as a display stand for pistols. And yes, the manufacturer calls it Cock Bloc. Its main purpose is to aid people with limited hand dexterity to manipulate the slide and/or to be able to do it [Read More…]
Pretty much like many of the world’s countries in the early 20th Century, Brazil was a faithful user of German bolt-action Mauser rifles, to which the Spanish-favored 7x57mm round was chosen. The first adopted species was the Model 1894, soon followed by the Model [Read More…]
Gemtech is moving. Not far, mind you, but in three months the historic silencer company will expand into a brand new headquarters in Meridian, Idaho. The new facility will feature upgraded manufacturing and research and design facilities that will aid in product [Read More…]
How do you take an already awesomely fun product and make it better? By supercharging it with .308, of course. X Products has just announced a battle rifle caliber version of their Can Cannon – a blank firing upper receiver that can launch soda cans, t-shirts and [Read More…]
Friend of TFBTV, Ventura Munitions, caught my attention with an Instagram video post earlier this week. Enter the scene – a well groomed, green grass lawn dotted with trees and saplings. The air is clear with all the sweet sounds and smells of early summer. And [Read More…]
Lucien Black is the man behind Voda Consulting. We posted about him in the past and his questionable approach to demonstrating firearm manipulation by pointing an actual gun into a student’s chest. He and the student let it slide in the fact that the gun was [Read More…]
Everyone loves a bit of slick .303 action. But what are the pitfalls specific to buying a Lee-Enfield No.4 that are unique to this particular rifle? What are the options, and what should you look out for to avoid getting a dud? UPDATE: The idiot Producer accidentally created a thumbnail with a [Read More…]
Is it too much to ask from a mouse gun to be at least 9mm, reliable, and shootable? Based on various other offerings on the market, it could be argued that the combination of the three was a tall order. Various weapons in .380 were good, but 9mm was a beast that the [Read More…]
Someone is selling a Walther WA2000. Starting bid is $75,000 USD. If you win, you have your choice of .308 or .300 Win Mag. He has both. He claims there were only 15 brought into the US. ULTRA RARE, THE RAREST OF THE RARE, THE HOLY GRAIL FOR ANY FIREARM COLLECTOR [Read More…]
Derek Giddings is a shooter for the H&K Shooting Team. Check out the MP5 he is using. It is setup purposefully for racing. The optic is set high as well as the stock. The position of the stock actually lowers the bore of the barrel helping in minimizing muzzle [Read More…]
Some one made a cardboard MP5. It has a functioning magazine, charging handle, and spits out the paper projectiles. All made of paper, cardboard, rubber bands and toothpicks. The video even shows you how it was made.
I swore off vertical fore grips (VFG) years ago, returning to a more traditional support hand placement. The Costa-esque C-clamp grip never quite worked for me either – if I’m being completely honest, I resisted it at first based on fad-status alone, but [Read More…]

When it comes to building an AR-15 weight is a factor I always consider. Unless you’re building a long range rifle that will only be shot off of a bench I believe lighter is always better. A good way to shave off ounces from your AR build is to use a lightweight [Read More…]
Series 70 vs Series 80 is a bit of a holy war within the 1911 community. Many purists believe that Series 70 pistols are a superior version of the gun (and they can make a good case for it.) If you prefer Series 70 guns, I have good news: Colt’s Manufacturing Co [Read More…]
It was just 6 months ago that Savage Arms began hyping up a new, unannounced firearm leading up to SHOT Show. We quickly learned it was their first attempt at producing an AR-15 type rifle. With now 4 different models in their arsenal in 3 different popular calibers [Read More…]
