PTRS 41: The Soviet Semiauto Antitank Rifle (aka an SKS on Steroids)

December 14, 2022 Ian McCollum 25

Prior to World War Two, the Soviet Union had a rather lackluster interest in antitank rifles – a series of guns were developed, but slowly and without all that much success. The Barbarossa invasion gave […]

GM6 Lynx .50 BMG Bullpup at the Range

December 25, 2021 Ian McCollum 34

Today we have the Gepárd M6 Lynx out at the range to try out! My impression is that mechanically, the gun is very well constructed. Everything operated cleanly and smoothly, and there were no malfunctions […]

GM6 Lynx: The Hungarian Long-Recoil .50-Caliber Bullpup

December 24, 2021 Ian McCollum 36

The Gepárd M6 is the result of nearly 3 decades of development. The Hungarian military first requested a .50-caliber anti-material rifle circa 1987, and the M1 design submitted was a single-shot rifle chambered for the […]

Zastava M93 Black Arrow in .50 BMG at the Range

August 21, 2021 Ian McCollum 26

Today we have the M93 “Black Arrow” out at the range. I made an attempt to get the scope zeroed enough to be on paper, but was unable to get it there within a few […]

Zastava M93 Black Arrow: Serbia’s .50 Cal Anti-Materiel Rifle

August 20, 2021 Ian McCollum 47

The M93 Black Arrow is a .50 caliber anti-materiel rifle developed by Zastava to replace some applications of the RPG with better accuracy. It was originally produced in 12.7x108mm, the same as used in the […]

Boys Mk I Anti-Tank Rifle at the Range

January 2, 2021 Ian McCollum 26

I have done several previous videos on the Boys antitank rifle, but never actually fired one – until today! We’re out at the range with a MkI Boys and five rounds of its .55 Boys […]

Anti-Tank Rifles

Germany’s WW1 “Kurz” Model Tankgewehr

October 29, 2020 Ian McCollum 7

When the German Tankgewehr was introduced in May 1918, the first 300 or so guns were of a different pattern than the standard production that would follow (and of which about 16,000 would be made). […]

Big-Bore Simplicity: the Serbu BFG-50A

September 25, 2020 Ian McCollum 34

The Serbu BFG-50A is one of only a couple self-loading .50 caliber rifles manufactured in the US. Work on its design began in 2008, and the first finished examples were produced in 2011. A total […]

PGM Precision Hecate II at the Range

May 9, 2020 Ian McCollum 17

Today, we are taking the PGM Precision Hecate II out to the range. It is a rifle designed for use out to 1800m, but I have neither the skills myself nor the range facility to […]

PGM Hecate II: A Battle-Hardened .50 Caliber Sniper Rifle

May 8, 2020 Ian McCollum 22

Courtesy of PGM Precision USA, we have a chance to take a look at a Hecate II sniper rifle today. This rifle’s story begins with the Ultima Ratio, a classic-based 7.62mm precision rifle designed by […]
