I put this one up because this is kind of surprising. Anyone that has done time on the big FOBs in the war will know what a C-RAM is after hearing the thing go off.  It is a loud and obnoxious automated chain gun that blasts incoming mortars and rockets out of the […]

     This is excellent news, and a no brain-er. By switching to an explosive like this, IED’s or RPG enemy attacks will have a less likely-hood of detonating these IMX-101 based munitions. I have no idea if they will put this in the smaller munitions, but the bigger artillery rounds will have it.

     I like it!  GPal or Gun Pal is an alternative online payment system that you can use to purchase anything ‘legal’.  So if you want to buy a firearm from someone using GPal, you can do that and your account will not be frozen.  With the other online payment groups, they are not at all […]

   The other day I was reading a great little book called The Empire Of The Summer Moon, and came across some very interesting history.  For those that have read my history posts, I tend to gravitate towards tipping points in war fighting history, all with the idea of learning what led towards that tipping point. […]

     This weapon sounds very cool, and it is a real life version of exactly what I was talking about in my ‘drone archer’ post.  With a UAV like this, you could give a platoon or squad some very interesting options on the battlefield.
     The first one that came to my mind, was […]

One official who had seen the video said “it looks like an execution”.
Mr Maxwell came down from the roof after the attack and was shot minutes later officials said.
The video shows Mr Maxwell wounded in a group of Afghan police when a single shot is fired, Stern reported.
He screams and collapses to the ground. None […]

     Since November 2008, the 3rd ESC has had 64 laser incidents reported in Iraq, resulting in 45 documented injuries to soldiers. Two of those injuries were permanent — one soldier is now legally blind in one eye, Hayes said.
     Both Multi-National Corps—Iraq and 3rd ESC Commander Brig. Gen. Michael Lally are stepping […]

   Wow, these guys are getting innovative. The attack using a paraglider opens up all sorts of ideas and problems-both for the terrorist and for the defenders.  I believe many paraglider kits can be used for tandem jumping, so they could conceivably haul a payload of equal weight. So that could be a payload of […]

   One of these years, you will see Feral Jundi at a booth at Shot Show.  These things are so much fun, and filled with tons of networking possibilities and all sorts of new weapons, weapons parts and gear.  There are a few blogs out there that track shot show, but probably the best is […]
