While the MP5, HK33 and G3 are still very effective platforms, firearms have gained innovations over the past half century that don’t easily fit within the constraints of these legacy designs. Modern manufacturing techniques mean that machined billet aluminum alloy is lighter and more affordable than steel stampings. Modularity can be built-in, rather than requiring some type of adapting interface for mounting optics and other accessories, allowing a firearm to be tailor fit to the shooter. The market is dominated by certain patterns of furniture, magazines and fire control components, meaning that compatibility with these formats allows for the end…

The establishment of this panel raises questions about the direction and implications of future investigations into…

City and state police, along with FBI Boston, are investigating a video circulating on social media that reportedly shows a man with a gun near the University of Massachusetts Lowell. In response to the video, local authorities issued a campus-wide shelter-in-place order, which was lifted a few hours later after confirming the suspect’s departure from the area. As a precaution, classes and events for the day were canceled, and a significant police presence remains at the campus to ensure safety. Massachusetts State Police confirmed their awareness of the situation and urged anyone with information to contact 911. The incident has…
Certain observers would say that I have an unhealthy obsession with punctuality. The fact that those observers are my children does not necessarily mean that they are correct. Children have been known to misunderstand their parents. They may even rebel against their upbringing by arriving at events exactly on time rather than 30 minutes early. Thus, the world spirals into decay. In any case, accurate time keeping is as a balm to my soul. If civilization collapses and chaos ensues, I want to know exactly what time it is when everything goes down. In June of 2023, SurvivalBlog published my…

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has established new regulations for the 2025 spruce grouse hunting season, notably reducing daily and possession limits for the first time since the late 1970s. Starting September 13, hunters may now harvest a maximum of two spruce grouse per day, with a possession limit set at four, while still maintaining a total limit of five grouse overall. This change is attributed to several factors, including notable shifts in spruce grouse populations, habitat usage, and increased access due to ATVs and UTVs. Adult spruce grouse populations are significantly smaller compared to ruffed grouse, and…
