Where Things go Bang
Usually, people in the firearms industry like to criticize the State of California and by extension, its people, for hating the Second Amendment. However, the Golden State’s diversity also extends to the opinions of its citizens. Contrary to popular opinion, there are some Californian residents who despise the state’s strict gun laws and truly believe […]
Thanks to the Washington gun ban, the Evergreen State has become the 9th state in the union to prohibit the manufacture, importation, distribution, and selling of “assault weapons.” Other “assault-free” weapon states like Illinois (84% of homicides committed with guns), California (72% of homicides committed with guns), and all the other anti-2A states applaud its […]
Whenever the Blue party tries to pass an “assault weapons” ban or speak against “assault weapons” in general, the AR-15 is always put in the spotlight as a “military weapon of war” whose 5.56x45mm ammo is so powerful it can “blow a body apart” and “cook a deer from the inside.” This alleged “fully-semi-automatic” gun […]

Powerful, classy, and reliable. These are the three words that come to mind when fans of the M14 describe their favorite rifle. This United States military icon was the last of the service rifles to be issued with a wooden stock, as well as the last to use a full-sized cartridge, the venerable 7.62x51mm NATO […]
Some hunters wonder why people still use bolt action rifles, even though semi-automatic rifles exist. After all, it’s easier to do follow-up shots if you don’t have to cycle the bolt every time you fire, and the same people bringing down deer with AR-10s can expect to do the same job with Remington 700s. So […]
While the term “assault rifle” doesn’t have the same politically charged connotation as “assault weapon” there are some, particularly those who want to villainize the AR-15 as a “weapon of war” who think it’s a legitimate term. The term “assault rifle” has its origins in one of the very first select-fire service rifles. The German […]
The M16 has revolutionized warfare forever. Eugene Stoner’s “plastic” rifle was one of the first service rifles to depart from the heavy, clunky wooden rifles that had been favored by war-fighting nations since the Second World War. First battle-tested in Vietnam, this lightweight, air-cooled gas-operated rifle was developed in the 1960s by the Armalite corporation […]
Dirty Harry famously said that the .44 magnum was “the most powerful handgun in the world.” While that may have been true in 1971, the current king of all handguns is the .500 S&W. With a muzzle velocity of 1,250 feet per second and a bullet almost as large as a 5.56x45mm round, this beast […]
