This light machine gun is exactly that: extraordinarily lightweight. Coming in at only 11 pounds, it is extremely manageable to carry around and claims to be the world’s lightest machine gun. The Ultimax 100 MK8 fires from a non-reciprocating, open bolt and puts 5.56x45mm NATO down range at a rate of 400-600 rounds per minute with extremely light felt recoil.

The MP5 was the go-to submachine gun of the cold war. It was a Hollywood chick magnet and the movies made it the sex symbol of a generation. Where the MP5 came from and where it went is a twisted tale of terrorism and ballistics.

A gun review 2 years in the making has finally happened, and I for one could not be more excited! The M10X has finally arrived, and what timing! We rarely see true innovation in the firearms industry, and rarer still in 7.62×39. But this one is going to rock your socks off.

The BRN-180 was perhaps the most anticipated of Brownells old-school firearms, and it didn’t disappoint! I’ve had a great time taking the BRN-180 for a spin.

Delta S is a strategic partner of MCM firearms. MCM has a background of custom firearms, with a healthy dose of machining. When you put those two together, what do you get? A no-compromise set of principles when it comes to making guns.

I managed to get my hands on Seekins’ new Havak Element in 6.5 PRC soon after it was announced, and immediately put it through the hardest tests that I could think of: I brought it with me on several hunts including Idaho mule deer and whitetail deer.

I got my hands on the new 457 Scout rifle, the “youth” model of the new 457 lineup. I’ve been using it quite a bit and I’m impressed. Its approachable price tag belies the quality of its craftsmanship and its inherent accuracy.

Ruger came out swinging with a 9mm Pistol Caliber Carbine last year, with a design that rocked us back on our heels. Building on that success, they have just released a new chassis version, with all the bells and whistles.

The Howa Oryx combines the tried and true Model 1500 barreled action with a new, tough as nails chassis to offer an affordable rifle platform for many endeavors. I was fortunate enough to be able to get my hands on one of these chambered in 6mm Creedmoor from Legacy Sports International.
