The Zenith ZF-56 – The Unholy Lovechild Of AR & HK33
Today Luke C is back on the SHOT Show 2024 floor with Zenith Firearms to talk about their wild roller delayed rifle, the ZF-56. This new rifle combines a lot of the handling characteristics and features of the much-loved AR-15 platform with the theoretically more robust roller-delayed blowback system. The ZF-56 will be available in both 5.56 and .300 Blackout upon initial launch, and of course, that means that the ZF-56 will be compatible with all standard AR magazines.

Best Expensive 9mm Carbine: H&K MP5 vs. B&T APC-9
Two of the best pistol caliber carbines in the game: The LEGENDARY Heckler & Koch MP5 faces off today against the B&T APC-9. The H&K MP5 has been the gold standard for PCCs or SMGs for nearly 60 years, while the B&T APC-9 is newer, having been invented by the Swiss group Brugger & Thomet in 2011. While the B&T doesn’t have the long legacy enjoyed by the MP5, the APC-9 is the first SMG that has been adopted by the U.S. Army since World War II. Which one is the top dog in 2023?

TFB Review: Dead Foot Arms AR-MP9 MP5-Styled Upper
Last SHOT Show 2023, I came across Dead Foot Arms and saw their AR-MP9s in person. As one of the resident MP5 fans, I was intrigued. Sure it is not a roller-delayed blowback but the aesthetics are what caught my attention. Since it was designed for the AR-9 platform, the possibilities were endless so I requested to review their upper and they were kind enough to lend one to me. Let’s take a closer look at their MP5-styled AR-MP9 upper.

SILENCER SATURDAY #266: MP5 + B&T SQD = Awesome
Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM Turbo T3 5.56 rifle suppressor. Last week I made my pitch that everyone should own a 5.56mm bolt action rifle and suppressor combination (the Ruger American Ranch in particular). This week we dive into a classic pairing that is becoming more and more prevalent every year in the United States – H&K and B&T. Specifically, the B&T SQD RBS – Super Quick Disconnect and Reduced Backpressure System 9mm suppressor – on the H&K MP5 and MP5K sub-machine guns. Yes it’s awesome, but we should look at the details before typing in our billing information. Let’s dig in.
[SHOT 2023] Dead Foot Arms: AR-MP9 an MP5 Styled AR9
When walking down the aisles of SHOT Show 2023, Dead Foot Arms’ AR-MP9 caught my attention. It is not a secret I am a fan of the MP5 and I find AR9s that mimic MP5’s interesting. There have been attempts made by other manufacturers to mimic the MP5 aesthetics but the Dead Foot Arms’ AR-MP9 is the closest so far.
