#SpikesTactical

Welcome everyone to the 206th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – Is this Gat a sweet deal or only have Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

Welcome back to another edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturer’s of the YHM Nitro N20 modular titanium suppressor. Last weekend was the final exam for my horse grooming certification, so Adam was nice enough to step in and take the reigns. If you missed it, he reviewed the Stealth Project Recon rifle suppressor. Wrapping up TFB/TFBTV Gunfest 2021 in New Orleans, we get a brief look at the Spike’s Tactical Compressor integrally suppressed AR-15.

As I saw the picture above,  I knew it would make a great Photo Of The Day.

Spike’s has done it again. Blowing our minds with this video clip they just posted. Due to the complexity of the physics of moving water when shooting under water most firearms only fire one round. Spike’s fired a 9mm underwater machine gun successfully in full auto!

Last Monday night, Shopify changed their policy about what items can be sold via their e-commerce platform. Shopify is banning the sale of firearms and firearm related accessories.

Spike’s Tactical has a new AR design by Rare Breed Firearms. Spike’s will be the sole exclusive distributor of this new AR design. They are calling it the Spartan.

Spike’s Tactical who is known for making edgy yet hilarious lower receivers has produced another gem for the firearms industry. They recently introduced their Pineapple Grenade stripped lower receiver that is modeled after the T-Shirt they already produce. The key features on this standard AR-15 lower that will make you the envy of all of your buddies at the range are the iconic Pineapple Grenade logo and the Selector Markings on the opposite side. The Selector Markings read: Safe, Fire and Aloha Snackbar.

Thanks to Shawn and Brian of 2AGuysandGear. I almost missed this at Big 3 East but Shawn mentioned it and showed me a photo. So on the last day I caught up with Spike’s Tactical. They brought out a new caliber to show us. It is called the .416 Spike. It is basically a .308 version of .300 blk. I had actually pondered this a while back and at the time there wasn’t a larger version of a .300blk. Well now there is.

Spike’s Tactical’s have unveiled their new 37mm flare launcher. Tapping into the nostalgia factor they have built a clone of the classic Vietnam War-era 40mm grenade launcher. The M79 nicknamed the ‘blooper’ or ‘thumper’ by troops because of the characteristic sound it made when fired.

At Big 3 East, Spike’s Tactical showed up with a litany of firearms. This one in particular is relatively new. We posted up photos of the color filled lower before. And Adam posted about it first.  Well here it is as a complete gun. However this Snowflake has a surprise. It identifies as a pistol but it is a machine gun. Yes it skips triggered and goes all the way to full libturd.

TFB’s Adam S recently did an article on Spike’s Tacticals Snowflake Unicorn lower.

Spike’s Tactical is known for their one-of-a-kind lower receivers and generally great products primarily relating to the AR-15 platform. By pairing up with Sharps Bros. they have created billet machined skulls, wild pigs and a multitude of other lowers that are flat out cool as heck!

Spike’s Brown Recluse is an impressive 9mm pistol caliber carbine. While the majority of the gun is similar to many other 9mm ARs, the integrally suppressed barrel is where it truly shines. Sure companies can chop a barrel and add long barrel extension to make it a rifle length barrel. Then add their baffle stack making it a single stamp gun. However that is only what you see from the outside of the Brown Recluse. The barrel is vented. Why would you vent the barrel? So that the gas from super sonic rounds can be vented away and lower the speed to sub sonic levels. Thus making regular off the shelf ammo much quieter. In fact there is no need to buy sub sonic ammo for the Recluse since it makes ammo sub sonic.

Thanks to my fellow writer Adam Scepaniak for sharing this. Adam runs a gun store during the day and helped his employees to order the parts.

Spike’s Tactical quietly released a brand new 9mm carbine, the Brown Recluse, on Silencer Shop’s website. Being fresh off the press and with no advertising pushing it, Silencer Shop appears to be the only source for this firearm. At the moment, it is not even listed on Spike’s own website.
