(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) The World As We Now Know It Succeed here first. A good man succeeds regardless of where he is. Marcus Aurelius would be a good man here or in ancient Rome. Same for Sejong the Great. Same if an Adeptus Astartes was put in your place. A good man succeeds where he finds himself. “I would succeed if only…” is loser talk. It’s taken many a man who might have succeeded and turned him into one who did not. You’ve probably heard “if you think you can or think you can’t, you’re…

On May 28, 1588 King Philip II dispatched the Spanish Armada under the Duke of Medina-Sidonia from Lisbon, Portugal to invade England. When it left Lisbon, the fleet was composed of 141 ships, with 10,138 sailors and 19,315 soldiers. The fleet carried 1,500 brass guns and 1,000 iron guns. The armada was hampered by bad weather, and then was outmaneuvered by the 200-ship British navy is several decisive engagements. The remainder of the Armada was devastated by storms, disease, and starvation.  An analysis of the human cost of the campaign reveals that 25,696 men departed and just 13,399 returned. —…

In the mid-19th century, the French military had developed some new firearm designs to take advantage of what was then the novel concept of a self-contained cartridge. Initially, like many militaries, the French converted existing military muzzleloaders to a breechloading design with its Tabatiere system, and later, they developed the Model 1866 Chassepot, which used a unique, self-contained paper cartridge. However, after the Franco-Prussian War, it was clear a new design was needed. Watch our “American Rifleman Television: I Have This Old Gun” segment above to see the details of the Model 1874 Gras rifle. “The Gras rifle was developed…

Subsonic ammunition produces muzzle velocities slower than the speed of sound. This eliminates the harsh supersonic crack you hear with standard-velocity ammunition. But, the speed of sound is not a constant; it varies due to air temperature, humidity and altitude. Additionally, at subsonic velocities, bullets can struggle to deform, upset or expand—as some like to call it—after impact. Finally, with semi-automatic rifles and handguns, you might see reliability issues. You can safely shoot supersonic ammunition from a suppressed firearm and still experience substantial noise reduction, in most cases below 140 decibels (dB), which is what OSHA considers hearing-safe. And from…

00:00:00 Speaker 1: Our world is changing. It always has, of course, but the pace of change that we’re experiencing today seems different. And for those of us whose lives revolve around the natural world, it’s obvious that change is coming for the things that we cherish too. Whether you hunt or fish, camp or climb, it’s impossible not to recognize that the wild world is under immense pressure. By one estimate, we’re losing more than two million acres of open wild space every single year. That’s the equivalent of an entire Yellowstone National Park of open space disappearing annually.…
