Pro Guns, Gear, Tactics, Training, & Discussion
Articles with a focus on Military.
For Tactics, Techniques and Procedures Thursday, we’re going to be continuing our discussion about how to set up your standard-issue sling to provide more support. Many Paratroopers do not know how to use the sling to provide a stable firing platform. This is important, as the unsupported positions are generally where our Paratroopers have the… read more »
‘Everybody wants to shoot the machine gun… until it’s time to do range detail things and pick up brass and links.’ -Every Range Safety Officer at the end of a machine gun range day For Training Tuesday, we have a tip out there for units to use when policing up after a machine gun… read more »
Function Like many options on the market today, the Bootleg carrier works to decrease the amount of gas being used to cycle the action. When attaching a suppressor, for example, the added back-pressure can result in increased bolt speed, increased muzzle rise/recoil, and excess gas being vented into the shooter’s face (ask me how I… read more »
For Manual Monday, we are continuing our discussion on control and the pistol. Specifically, we will address malfunctions and how to handle them for the pistol. Learning all elements of the shot process for the pistol is vital, as the M17 will be fielded to elements of the 82nd within the near future. The M17 will also be… read more »

Why are people relying on mainstream media for gun information? There seem to be cheers from knowledgeable gun people… read more »

Yes, they discuss other factors but the tool seems to be the easy focus. That response instigated a counter and… read more »
None of my firearms have been used in criminal activities. My magazine fed semiautomatic guns are just as innocent as the revolver, lever, bolt, or pump action guns. I have decent sample size and none were lost in a tragic boating accident. I’m thinking we don’t have a gun problem. “Those who would give up… read more »
As we mentioned in last week’s Force Mod/Fossil Friday post, there is a new Magazine Feed Lip Wear tool available for the standard-issue magazines for the M4A1.
