Seriously. I have a new favorite show to follow. It is a Russian show called the “Proving Ground” (english name obviously), and is subtitled. In the episode I was directed to, they review a couple of weapons. The KORD machine gun and the ASVK 6S8 sniper [Read More…]
Schizuki sent us this photo of his CZ 75 B chambered in 9mm Luger/Parabellum. The grips are Hogue CZ-75/CZ-85 Pau Ferro Grips, which in my opinion look a lot nicer than the factory plastic grips. Submit photos you have taken to TFB’s Photo Of The Day.

VuurwapenBlog reviews five weapons in under one minute. He talks about the Beretta 92, AK74, Glock 19, Mossberg 500, and a M&PC. Most of what he says is stating the obvious. But I find it interesting how much information he is able to squeeze in to this video.

I have always been a fan of the M&P line of pistols. I like them much more than Glock pistols because of the grip angle, and the lack of a “glock-bump” on the grip. One of my EDC pistols is a M&P40c that I use when I am looking for a smaller, more [Read More…]
I’ve used a few of the mesh brass catchers out on the market that attach to your AR-15, and for the most part they kinda suck. There’s currently one on the crowd funding site RocketHub that looks like it doesn’t suck. Called the Brass Wrangler, [Read More…]
To most TFB readers, the terms “battle rifle” and “assault rifle” are probably familiar ones. A “battle rifle” is something chambered in 7.62mm, or maybe any full power rifle cartridge, which has a big 20 round box magazine and fires [Read More…]

Sometimes, I am just in awe of what a good creative person backed by a solid concept can create. SilencerCo has created the most impressive GIF image I have ever seen. By animating the shot, the explanation is incredibly more effective than a simple static graphic could [Read More…]
A reader brought to our attention this very interesting idea. It is currently still in the prototype (and there is a working prototype) stage, and it looks like the innovator is trying to gauge interest (for a potential crowdsourcing campaign). There is a thread on [Read More…]

With Chiappa bringing back the overall look of the M6, I thought it prudent to review the original. Learning from downed pilots during WWII, the U.S. Air Force sought out a simple survival rifle with which to equip their crews in rugged or hostile territory. While the [Read More…]
TrackingPoint has done a pretty good re-enactment video of how the fight at the Alamo went down. Except, you know, with the addition of their Precision Guided Firearms. It is a pretty funny vignette if you have about 4 minutes to spare. And, really, don’t we all [Read More…]
TFB writer James Reeves went to the Burning Man arts festival earlier this year. One of the “art installations” (for lack of a better term) was a Zombie themed desert fortress with a number of gun-related artistic touches such as a gun rack, muzzle loading [Read More…]

An old video but an interesting one. HK tests their HK416 with a very specific test. Submerging it under water and then shooting it immediately after coming out of the water. The results for the Colt were surprising. Although the safety measures taken for the Colt kind [Read More…]
