SHOT Show Archives

The X2 is a pre-charged pneumatic arrow gun. Its onboard 240cc tank is charged to 4,000psi, and it uses that air to shoot 20 to 25 full power shots. They say the first five shots will be over 450fps and all of them will be big game-lethal. It launches a 376-grain arrow (including 100-grain tip).

Blinds can be an effective way to conceal yourself while hunting. But what if you set your blind in the wrong place, or what if some other condition changes? The Nukem Grab and Go blind is lightweight and portable so you set up or move to another place in a jiffy.

This year at SHOT Show 2022, newcomer Dillon Rifle Company released their OPAR Trigger, standing for On Patrol AR Trigger.

This year at SHOT Show 2022 I was introduced to a new company from Norway, Ulfhednar. While the name points to a viking heritage, it is a company made for and founded by shooters.

Magpul told us that the ATF has approved both of these variants so now we all just have to wait on production.

InVeris Training Solutions brought a few of their new systems out to SHOT Show 2022. While at their booth, I was able to try out their Virtual Reality VR-DT system.

This year at SHOT Show 2022 Leupold brought out a new optic. They released the Patrol 6HD 1-6. The newest in their tactical/duty line of LPVOs (Low Power Variable Optic).

We’ve seen lots of chassis rifles in the last several years, but MK Machining has further refined their chassis with significant weight reductions, performance enhancements and they’ve expanded their compatibility. Oh, and it’s a bullpup.

Since its introduction in 2014, Franklin Armory’s F17 rifle has been thumbing its nose at restrictive gun control laws in states like California and New York. Now, it’s better than ever.

Zastava Arms has been in business for 165 years. And thanks to Zastava Arms USA, a number of their guns are imported for us here in the states.

At SHOT Show 2022, Canik displayed its newest 9mm pistol, the SFx Rival. Meeting current IDPA, IPSC, and USPSA specifications, the SFx RIVAL is built to compete at a price that won’t break the bank. 

The best gun is the one you have with you. Here’s a gun small enough to have with you and with the capacity to make it worthwhile.

The APEX is the world’s first bullpup style CCK, and it avoids pesky federal firearms laws by including a 16-inch barrel in the kit.

It’s likely that if you enjoy shooting, the only thing you don’t enjoy about it is loading magazines. Elite Tactical Systems was showing off their Gen II CAM Loader at the range during SHOT Show. It’s remarkably simple to use and it loads ten rounds into a magazine all at once. Other mag loaders often make it much easier, but still require loading one round at a time.

At SHOT Show 2022, LMT Advanced Technologies showed off a prototype of a new “zero back pressure” suppressor, the ION 30.

This year at SHOT Show 2022, SureFire introduced their new TURBO Line of lights. High candela lights that throw a beam a serious beam.

Designed by Maztech Industries, the X4-Fire Control System or FCS is going to revolutionize the shooting world.

This time, they’ve made the gun we’ve all wanted since we were kids. It’s not a Tommy gun…but if John Thompson had made a tactical version, it would’ve looked a lot like this.

Bringing a few of these LPVOs out to SHOT Show 2022, I was able to see through them in person and was impressed. 

This year at SHOT Show 2022, B.E. Meyers introduced the KIJI. The KIJI is a Infrared Laser Illumination Tool. Think of it as a super-powered night vision flashlight…

Taurus unveiled a host of new handguns at SHOT Show 2022, and the new G3X and TX 22 Competition SCR were two of the most exciting.

Maxim Defense brought a host of new products to SHOT Show 2022, and we got the chance to take them for a spin at this year’s Range Day.

This Year at SHOT Show 2022 I had the chance to check out some new rifle slings. While some people dismiss the importance of a sling, I don’t consider a rifle to be a rifle without one.

Hornady, owners of SnapSafe, announced the release of the GlideVault programmable safe at SHOT Show 2022.

MAJR Mechatronics is behind the A.C.E. and they brought it to SHOT Show this year. It’s a small module that attaches to a Picatinny rail (ARCA mounts can be swapped, too) and has small actuators that compensate for the small movements your gun makes to help eliminate the wobble while shooting handheld.

One aspect that delineates these guns as so-called “assault rifles” is that they have semi-automatic actions which use the kinetic energy created by firing one round to load the next into battery, making it ready to fire again.
