Engineers at the Picatinny Arsenal are developing a new kind of hand grenade that works as a fragmentation or concussion grenade with the flip of a switch.

Jeff Cooper began experimenting with carbines as early as the mid-1960s. His work with these reduced rifles led to his conceptualized solution to the one rifle question—Steyr’s Scout Rifle. What is very often overlooked is the practical application and friendliness of the rifle Cooper was trying to create.

Making legal arms illegal is infringement.

Could you — or better yet should you — be attempting to draw your concealed weapon to engage a deadly threat armed with a knife, impact weapon, long gun or handgun while at reach-out-and-be-touched distance?

In the survival world some products are in a class by themselves. I decided that this would be the case with a new discovery I made last week called “The Pocket Shot.” Originally I had intended to cover slingshots and slingshot arrow shooting contraptions, and in my travels I discovered The Pocket Shot, but when it got here I quickly realized that it deserved its own space. The Pocket Shot is really just a thick rubber balloon, held by a plastic ring. But this simple device is not a toy, and a serious weapon. It fires standard slingshot balls, and there is a full arrow kit. As something that you can slip into a bugout bag, where nobody would even suspect that it is a weapon, I don’t think that The Pocket Shot has an equal.

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. Right? Wrong. SRM Arms has stepped up to the plate to take a swing at solving the capacity and reloading problems inherent in a 12-gauge shotgun with its 16-shot, semi-automatic Model 1216.

The easier it is for a community to acquire guns, the more violent that community becomes. Sounds reasonable, right? Wrong. It couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Remington is celebrating two centuries of business with a gorgeous trio of their best designs with their Bicentennial Set at auction with James D. Julia.

“If Americans had no guns they’re wouldn’t be no police killing people. That’s the easiest and simplest way to solve it. To take everybody’s guns, not just the civilians. Take the police’s guns too.”
