I’ve always been drawn to compact firearms. There’s something about the balance of size, weight, and capability that makes them not only practical, but genuinely enjoyable to train with. They occupy that space between a daily carry pistol and a full-size rifle, that compact yet capable footpr...
No one on board the USS Indianapolis (CA-35) knew anything about the cargo they were carrying. What they did know was that the veteran cruiser (launched in 1931) made the trip from San Francisco to the island of Tinian in the Marianas in just ten days. The crew was proud of the “Indy”, and fo...
Military aircraft design of the Cold War era could be described as akin to physics, or, more specifically, to Newton’s Third Law of motion, which states, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” From lessons learned in the Vietnam War, the United States Air Force determi...

The M28 and M29 Davy Crockett Weapon System emerged during one of the most volatile phases of the Cold War, a period when the United States and the Soviet Union were locked in a global contest of ideology, influence, and military capability. In the early 1950s, as tensions escalated in Europe, th...
Precision shooting at distance is an unforgiving discipline. Every variable compounds, and it’s easy to blame the wrong one(s). A rifle tilted even two or three degrees from true vertical will cause what shooters call cant error. Bullets don't simply fly sideways; they arc away from yo...
Poland’s love for the PK series of machine guns cannot be overstated. It continues to serve today, even after the collapse of the Warsaw Pact nations and the USSR, with Western modernizations that may preserve the core reliability that made the original famous. It began when the PK entered ...
