Shotgun

Shooting the Techno Arms MAG-7 (properly!)

June 30, 2018 Ian McCollum 26

A while back I filmed some shooting with a Techno Arms MAG-7 shotgun in the US. It had been set up in the American non-NFA configuration, with a terrible wooden stock and long barrel, and […]

Shotgun

June 29, 2018 Ian McCollum 17

Developed in the mid 1990s by South African designer Tony Neophytou, the Neostead 2000 is a pump action shotgun with a substantial cult following. It was the first truly high-capacity shotgun put into production, with […]

Q&A

Q&A 19: Answers From The Boonies

June 28, 2018 Ian McCollum 23

As always, questions came from Patrons at the $2/month level and above. Thanks to all of you for the support! 0:25 – FAMAS parts kits coming? 1:15 – Why heel magazine releases on European handguns? […]

Semiauto pistol

Book review

Book Review: Communist Bloc Handguns by George Layman

June 24, 2018 Ian McCollum 7

There is not really a good reference book available on Communist Bloc pistols – or at least there wasn’t until now. George Layman has just released this overview of Cold War handguns from the USSR, […]

Bolt Action Rifles

Shooting the Berthier Cuirassier Carbine

June 23, 2018 Ian McCollum 6

The Cuirassier carbine is one of the very scarcest versions of the Berthier in the world, yet Patrick here is going to let me shoot a few rounds through his. My target is a steel […]

Artillery

June 22, 2018 Ian McCollum 52

  The Inkunzi PAW (Personal Assault Weapon) is a 20mm shoulder fired semiautomatic grenade launcher designed by Tony Neophytou (and previously known as the Neopup). It is a creative and very interesting weapon system, both […]

Revolver

Short: Revolvers with Manual Safeties

June 21, 2018 Ian McCollum 35
