July 8, 2023 Ian McCollum 0
We took a look at both of these guns individually this past week, and now it’s time to try them both out on the clock… While I like the Bernardelli quite a lot, it had […]

Italian GWOT Steel: the Beretta AR-70/90

July 7, 2023 Ian McCollum 12

June 30, 2023 Ian McCollum 26
Today we are going to take a look at how Private Jackson’s sniper rifle is portrayed in Saving Private Ryan. It’s a great movie, and I enjoyed it a lot – but this sniper rifle […]

June 28, 2023 Ian McCollum 3
In 1927, the Imperial Japanese Army purchased a 105mm field gun from the French company Schneider as a potential replacement for their rather underwhelming Type 14 105mm field gun. The Schneider design was quite good, […]
