We have all seen the post-apocalyptic movies where improvise armored vehicles with machine guns roam the landscape.  These Hollywood creations make for great entertainment but are such cobbled together machines just fantasy?  The civil war in Somalia introduced the world to “Technicals”, or utilizing civilian vehicles, like decades old Datsun and Totota Hilux pickup trucks, as a platform to mount heavy machine guns, like the Soviet era DShK 12.7mm.  Thirty years later and such vehicles are now being used on the battlefields of Ukraine.  Not only has Ukraine made improvised war wagons out of civilian pickup trucks but they have…

Some handguards feature alternative attachment systems (M-LOK, Picatinny, etc.), and some reduce the amount of heat transferred from the barrel.

Or, you might want to change your handguard just because you want a cooler-looking long gun.Whatever your reason, it’s worth doing the job yourself. Like working on cars or home appliances,…

Kahr, the maker of functional, well-crafted DAO single-stack pistols, has been missing in action for several years from the cutting edge of the industry. Its products were the same as ever, but that was the problem. The market had shifted back to double-stacks, and then onto mini-9s holding double-digit numbers of rounds. The company that had hit one out of the park with its little single-stack PM9 was languishing back in the minors. Or was it? When Kahr introduced the 10-round X9, it was first a matter of “about time.” However, after examining the pistol, it’s apparent that the company…

The M3 Fighting Knife was designed with a single purpose: to kill the enemy. It was designed to penetrate deeply into an opponent during hand-to-hand combat, severing arteries and veins along the way, so that the opponent would quickly lose enough blood to cease to be a threat. The M3 and the KA-BAR were evaluated together for the US military in 1942 by civilians on the Smaller War Plants Corporation Board. It was adopted by that board based on civilian rather than military criteria. The chairman of that board was eager to select designs that could be quickly and economically…
