Submachine Guns

Vintage Saturday: Overkill

September 29, 2012 Ian McCollum 11

September 28, 2012 Ian McCollum 8

During the 1960s, the Colt company was looking to help market the M-16 rifle to military forces by pairing it with a light machine gun. They were going after the exact same market segment as […]

Fiat-Revelli M1935

September 21, 2012 Ian McCollum 9

Movie Review: The City of Life and Death

September 20, 2012 Ian McCollum 8

The Second Sino-Japanese War is a relatively unknown part of the Second World War here in the US. Japanese troops invaded Manchuria in 1931, and by 1937 sporadic skirmishes had evolved into a full-scale war […]
