TFB’s Top 10 Calibers for Gun Hipsters Everyone knows that one guy who won’t shut up about his meme caliber. He will find any and every excuse to talk about it, show you pictures of it and tell you about its amazing terminal ballistics. Despite a cornucopia [Read More…]

Earlier this week, Business Insider released an article written by Christian Lowe entitled “6 weapons the US military should bring back from the dead“ with a very self-evident, but interesting premise. However, the weapons (all firearms, oddly) that the [Read More…]
This is one of those posts I’ve been meaning to get to for a while, but haven’t really felt the urge to write. The subject came up recently* in my comments, though, and I really enjoy responding to people, so I might as well kill these two birds with one [Read More…]
Some guns just seem to attract the most ravenous fanboys. These fanatics collaborate and overtime form cult-like cells within the community of firearm enthusiasts. In this video we explore five firearms that have developed a fan base akin to cults, often bordering on outright religious behavior.
Somewhat similar to Polenar Tactical’s Sh!t You See On The Range, SuperSetCA made a video lampooning seven stereotypical shooters one would see at a pistol match like USPSA. The seven shooters are: I have not actually come across this type of shooter in the [Read More…]
The big name YouTube channels, like Hickok45 and Forgotten Weapons have gotten large followings for a reason, but from time to time I come across smaller channels with just a few followers that really deserve more attention. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been [Read More…]
When one has to operate completely operationally, covering ones rifle shaft is a necessity. Recognizing this, a Amazon seller aptly named “AR-15 Condoms” is offering just that, an AR-15 Condom. Tousted as perfect to avoid STDs (Sh*t, Trash, and Debris), the [Read More…]
If you’ve spent any time at all in military history circles, you will have probably witnessed or been a participant in an argument about what, exactly, an “assault rifle” is, or whether a particular weapon qualifies as one. I, personally, have [Read More…]
With the season of depression, dread, cold, wind, and icy roads upon us, these two videos should help make it bearable because of their humor. Unless you live in Florida, then everything is coming up roses! Both of these videos are starting to make their rounds [Read More…]
Earlier on TFB we covered the Hi Point parody made by Dynamic Pie Concept on Youtube, and on Facebook. They have come out with a number of videos poking fun at various training procedures and other nuances in the firearms world, in addition to just being plain silly. [Read More…]
Firearms Ignorance of the masses… In Most of Africa, and in some other parts of the world, the superstition and mysticism perceived as behind the use and effect of firearms is more prevalent than common sense or science. Most people around here, even the educated [Read More…]

A reader came across a diner in Apple Valley, a small town in Utah situated between Hurricane, Utah and Freedonia, Arizona, with an interesting dinner menu. I will have a Musket, with the .45 Caliber and the AK-47.
This video made my day. It is a parody of those “my way is the only way” tactical trainers (whose names rhyme with Rick Taylor). I hope Andrew Tuohy makes some sequels. I would love to see a video of people endorsing Rick Taylor.
XKCD recently discussed if it was possible to build a jet pack out of AK-47 rifles. I would say it is not possible because finding enough AK-47 rifles would be very hard given their relative rarity. The AK-47 was succeeded by the AKM and AKS not long after its [Read More…]
I may have been the last person on the internet to watch this video, but it made my day. It is hilarious. In the video he keeps refering to “midcaps” which was a term I needed to google. Apparently it is an airsoft term for magazines with a 100 – 200 [Read More…]

ThinkGeek is selling these nifty gun mugs … I love the ThinkGeek humor: “Gun mug safety is no joke. Keep your gun mug properly maintained and clean at all times” 🙂 [ Many thanks to Rolf for emailing me the link. ]
