Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have a seven shot revolver you wear on your finger. This is a 2mm pinfire ring gun with CONFEDERATE DEFENDER engraved on the German silver band. Start with that marking, because it is nonsense. There is no Confederate connection here. These littl...
The G11 represents a peculiar Cold War tragedy: a rifle so technically advanced that it arrived exactly at the moment its creator could no longer afford it. Developed across two decades by a West German consortium and completed in 1990, this caseless-ammunition assault rifle was supposed to defin...
Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have a bayonet built for a rifle chambered in 22 Short. This is the bayonet for the Remington No. 4-S American Boy Scout rifle. The story needs one correction up front. This was not a Boy Scouts of America product. In 1913 there were competing sc...
The Security Service of Ukraine's Main Directorate of Internal Security usually doesn't headline its work. Their post is sparse by design, a reminder that the backbone of any special operation lives in the shadows, with personnel who keep operations classified until results already hit ...

Photo Of The Day: Everything you need for a fun day at the shooting range in one image. Sordin’s new Supreme X2 might not be essential, as the B&T Suppressor in combination with Fiocchi’s 9x19mm subsonics keeps the overall noise down, but I’m better safe than sorry wit...
Quebecois guide Jason Tremblay had joined our party for the afternoon, since his client had already tagged out, and within minutes he had us on a big bull. It was my tag, and I shot first, squeezing a shot off from the 7mm Magnum when I had the crosshairs on the moose’s sternum—and no...
Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have a lever gun that beat Winchester to the punch. This is a Marlin Model 1881 in 45-70 Government with a special order 32 inch heavy barrel, finished in 1890. Here is the thing about the 1881. Winchester owned the lever action market, and in 18...
