Bigshooterist recently posted up this video explaining machine gun ownership. It is very basic and simple. I think he should have given some current values of the lightning links and drop in sears. They are as expensive as a full auto lower. For an M16/AR in full auto [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…]
Loose Rounds posted this on their Facebook Page. It is a Remington 7188 used in Vietnam. According to Gun Wikia it is a modified Remington 1100. I imagine the recoil would be somewhat brutal but could be mitigated with backboring and porting like what Vang Comp does to [Read More…]
Here’s an old article from Small Arms Review detailing a 9mm hybrid submachine gun made from a STEN parts kit combined with a registered M16 lower receiver. It fires at around 800 to 900rpm and has a 13 ounce bolt which was turned down from an original casted [Read More…]
A huge thanks to my buddy Alex of SB Tactical for bringing this down upon my request. The HK MP7 is a gun that is relegated to almost Sasquatch level of existence. There are very few out there in the US and even fewer people have seen them in person let alone fired one. [Read More…]
Larry Vickers gets his hands on a full auto CZ-75 machine pistol. I am extremely jealous. It looks like he is in Vegas at the Pro Gun Club range. The select fire CZ-75 has a railed frame and a spare mag base plate is slotted to slide onto the frame and act as a vertical [Read More…]
GY6 Vids gets a chance to play with a custom full auto Glock 43. The full auto Gock 43 was done by Battleground Firearms. Andrew mentions that the G43 jumps quite a bit. When he first shoots it full auto he only managed one hit on target. Having shot a full auto Glock [Read More…]
I was at a local indoor action match a couple weeks ago. This guy came over and commented on my Wiselite Sterling Mk4 and Zenith Firearms MKE Z-5RS. He asked about the MP5 clone and then asked “Want to see a real MK4 and MP5?” Yes, yes I would. He had his [Read More…]
The Walther MPL is a gun that we have showed lots of love on TFBTV, mostly because it is in our opinions an underrated SMG. This open bolt 9mm from West Germany was introduced in the early 60s and could have been a very prolific little SMG… and then the MP5 came along. That said, […] [Read More…]
Yesterday Apple Daily News in Taiwan reported a story about a gun being used during a crime. Firearms in most of Asia are very difficult to obtain. Aside from the Philippines, it is almost impossible and in most cases using one illegally is an automatic death sentence. [Read More…]
The American Thompson submachineguns are perhaps the most iconic SMGs in the world. They have graced the hands of heroes and villains, but the humble M1A1 is the result of many cost cutting measures designed to get guns to our boys during WWII quickly and cheaply. In fact, M1A1s reduced the cost of [Read More…]
Here is a video from almost a year ago. Chad, of Kel-Tec, shoots a full auto CMR-30 suppressed. The rate of fire is rather impressive. Here is an even older video from 2010 of a full auto PMR-30 with a stock.
The German MP40 is one of the most iconic submachineguns of all time, and served the German military well throughout World War II. The low recoil, light weight, and ease of use made this firearm extremely effective, and even after the war it was used by forces around the globe clamoring for small [Read More…]
Matt Korovesis, of Outdoor Hub, and Dakota Arms shoot a demo H&K UMP 45 in full auto. Matt films the UMP in slow motion.
The FN FNC lies at a junction somewhere between the AR and AK, and the shooting experience it provides is a strange juxtaposition of both platforms. The ergonomics are very AR-like, but you get a bit of that lovely mechanical recoil impulse of the AK as a result of the long-stroke piston. The FNC [Read More…]
The MK760 is a copy of the Smith and Wesson 76, which was a copy of the famous Swedish K submachinegun. These affordable SMGs are widely available in the USA, and we set out to see what this little SMG is capable of. Thanks to our Sponsors: Grizzly Targets & Ventura Munitions. Weapon [Read More…]
The FN FAL is one of the most prolific firearms of the 20th Century. This Belgian big-shot fires the powerful 7.62×51 NATO round at 650 rounds per minute, and came to be known as “the right arm of the free world” during its tenure as the backbone of many nation’s militaries. [Read More…]
The period from 1945-1970 did not represent the figurative finest hour in US small arms design. From the problematic M60, to too little too late M14, to the disastrous initial fielding of the M16, US small arms design during the time seemed to simultaneously reach to [Read More…]
The iconic M16 marked America’s departure from its .30 caliber tradition and helped usher in a new era of small arms for the nations of the West. Dubbed the “poodle shooter” by critics, the M16 would turn out to be one of the most effective military rifles the world has ever seen, [Read More…]
The MP40 SMG was a true workhorse for the German armed forces during the Second World War, and was the rival of firearms like the British Sten and American Thompson submachine guns. In this installment of TFBTV, we get behind one of these iconic weapons to demonstrate its form and function. Please [Read More…]
Polenar Tactical went to Grand Power, in Slovakia, and got to test fire some of their pistols. One of them has a two rd burst and another goes to 11 with full auto. For those not familiar with Grand Power, they use a rotating barrel similar to Beretta’s PX4 storm [Read More…]
Alex C. and Patrick R. take a look at the rugged M240B, known by many names around the world such as the C6 by Canada, the FN MAG/MAG58 by countless militaries, and the L7 by the British. This unstoppable machine is truly a rugged, incredibly reliable, and remarkably fun to shoot. **Permission was [Read More…]
The German government has claimed that the G36 service rifle suffers from severe accuracy problems after being heated up by as little as 4 magazines on full auto. We set out to try and see for ourselves how much the rifle’s POI shifts and how much the group size increases after some heavy use! [Read More…]
VLTOR are now mass producing their full and semi-auto PKM receivers. They selling PKMs built with their receiver and imported parts kits. Apparently their receivers are better than the original PKM receiver. Obviously the full auto receiver will not be sold to the [Read More…]
