Magnum Research has updated the infamous Desert Eagle pistol. The new version features …

Can’t think what to get the wife, girlfriend or sweetheart for Valentine’s Day? The Firearm Blog has you covered 🙂 Pink is the new black and SHOT was awash in it …

As many of you saw, I had to resort to public begging to get into the Advance Armament Corporation party aka. BIG BANG 2010. Fortunately Cara Brittingham took pity on me and hooked me up with tickets not only for myself but also for my talented photographers Bryan and Isaac.

The 6x45mm SAW was an experimental round developed by the US Army in the 1970s.

At the request of a friend, this is what SHOT ’10 looks like. These photos are from the official SHOT Show flickr photostream …

Advanced Armament Corp does not wait for SHOT to announce new products, so there was nothing on display that we did not already know about. They did have lots of large caliber machine guns fitted with suppressors on display.

An FBI agent posed as a representative of an Africa nation. An S&W executive (and others) attempted to bribe the government official!

At SHOT ’08 Ruger unveiled the Ruger LCP pistol and in ’09 we saw the new Tactical Mini-14. So what is in store for us this year?

We shall soon see if the Glock ad is a fake or not. Ed Friedman, who blogs at Tell Me Why?, spoke to Glock and they confirmed a 4th generation would be unveiled at SHOT Show in January next year (2009), but would not reveal any of its features.

The M1028 is a 120mm shotgun shell for the M1 tank. The shell holds 1100 10mm tungsten balls. They are apparently lethal up to 700m (765 yards). Here is a video of the shell being fired in slow motion. It shows the shot breaking the sound barrier and the shot pattern (H/T to Sebastian).

B.B. has written two posts about the air guns launched at SHOT. I was going to cover the SHOT air guns, but B.B. knows a lot more about the subject than I do.

Auto-Ordnance has a new “Tactical Folding Stock Model” M1 Carbine out later this year.

Billet uppers and lowers at SHOT Show.

This new ammo from Lapua is going to be the most expensive .22 LR ammo when it is released, and apparently the most accurate.
