Many factors go into how a weapon functions and the ballistics of your chosen projectile. 5.56 is absolutely fine as a combat cartridge. As long as you can move the bullet fast enough. But, is there a better option for all the other situations?

There are few firearms as versatile as the shotgun.

“Why do I carry a .45? Because they don’t make a .46!” is one of the popular sayings among large caliber enthusiasts, almost right up there with, “…because shooting twice is just silly.” We’ve all seen and heard them – and some of us will even admit to haven said them. Well, folks they may still not make a .46 – but guess what? You can get a Glock in .50!

When it comes down to it, the AR is a highly established and popular design. But, that does not mean there is no room for improvement. And if you can do that and still make it affordable, then all the better. The new an improved M-Lok MMR might just fit that bill.

One of the most popular replacement AR triggers on the market comes from the good folks at Geissele. They have been building some of the best triggers available since 2004 and show no signs of letting up, and one of their more popular (and affordable, priced at $165) triggers is the G2S.

Shotguns have always suffered one common weakness: Capacity. Although substantial when measured by either weight or diameter, the amount of ammunition that can be loaded into the gun is limited.
