First of all, what’s a 6.8 Remington SPC? While at first glance it may look like a 5.56mm round, it’s not. Mainly because it’s bigger in all ways. Some folks from the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, United States Special Operations Command and Remington got together to work up a new cartridge that maintained reasonable compatibility [...]

BY Paul Helinski Published: March 8, 2015 { 272 comments }Most of us think of the Mosin-Nagant as a cheap gun. The rifles are still relatively cheap. The ammo is, again, “cheap” relative to other calibers. And it is a rare day that you go to the range and someone is not there shooting a Mosin just for fun. What many people never realize is that in the world of firearms, it is rare that a gun both **never breaks** and is cheap. But when it comes to using the Mosin outside of the range, for real world applications, there are four problems with the Mosin.

Prepping 101: Urban Survival Heater Stove Burns Oil/Gasoline 45k BTU
BY Paul Helinski Published: March 8, 2015 { 16 comments }Yet another brutal winter has a lot of people thinking about heating their homes when the power goes out. Even a few days without heat can be deadly, let alone the potential damages to your home from frozen water pipes and expanding ice. Imagine a whole winter without heat! Could you survive it? How would you survive it is the better question. Because if you live in the country, it is easy to just own an emergency wood stove, and keep a cord of wood covered in the back yard. That will keep you warm enough, and keep your pipes from freezing. But what if you live in an urban setting, or even a suburban area where you don’t have a lot of land to store wood?

BY Dave Higginbotham Published: March 4, 2015 { 75 comments }I’ve read a lot about the M855 ammo ban this week, and almost all of it is factually incorrect. And I’m not talking about the view from the left. I’m talking about us. We are getting the facts wrong. And if we don’t clean up our shit, we’re going to loose. What’s at stake? Everything.

Prepping 101: Nuke Pops in Ukraine – Free Dosimeters from Shane Connor
BY Paul Helinski Published: February 27, 2015 { 35 comments }This 33 second video from Febuary 8th never made the national news, not even Drudge, despite that fact that it has over 3,000,000 plays on Youtube. Alex Jones (aka Bill Hicks) even played information gatekeeper on it by changing the story from the original “breaking” story of a nuke, to later explaining that it was a chemical plant. What do you think it was? But the bigger question is, why wasn’t it injected into the 24 hour news cycle for the talking heads to speculate on for at least a day? Could it be that the powers that be decided it wasn’t the time for the next nuclear fear porn? Why would they do that? Is it because that the real “black swan” event scheduled to trigger WWIII is set to be nukes?

BY Jacob Epstein Published: February 24, 2015 { 25 comments }The H&K VP9 is almost perfect. Almost. The rear sight works fine for shooting, but not for one-handed manipulation. Meprolight can fix that. Their True-Dot sights are ideal for those situations we all hope to avoid, and they have tritium inserts, too.
