    Wood Body Armor Plates?

    The science and chemistry Youtuber Nile Red did a video where he replicated the experiment in this paper and shot at it with real guns, a .22 and 9mm if memory serves. The results are interesting, but the wood is nowhere near the strength of a kevlar vest. Full video for those who are...

    Whittaker Guns closed

    Man. This brings back some memories. When I was in high school, I remember going to this shop, and at the time it was by far the biggest gun shop I'd ever been in. Over the years, I went there multiple times, and they always had something unique there. At one point, they even had one of those...

    Silencers - Why?

    The bullet is still supersonic after leaving the barrel/suppressor. The suppressor can't dampen the noise generated by the bullet breaking the sound barrier after it's left the barrel. If you don't want the sonic crack, you'll have to shoot subsonic bullets.

    Silencers - Why?

    I don't know what it is about putting a can on a lever gun, something about that combination is just really aesthetically pleasing.

    Low price optics

    Low price optics have really come a long way in the last ten years or so. If you're going to go with something that's more of a budget-friendly option, you're better off looking at the lower end Vortex, Burris, Leupold, or Primary Arms optics. Barska makes trash, and you'll be unhappy with...

    HA! Nope. Just bummed that I don't get to go to SHOT this year.

    Looks like Paul Harrell is coming to the end of his road...

    At this point, I don't know why anyone uses any browser other than Brave. It's easily the best.

    Shot timers and split times

    .04 is the lowest I've seen as well. This was at an outdoor range.

    PSA Resurrecting the STG-44

    There was a company a few years ago that brought back the FG-42. I don't know if they're still making them or not. But I think you could get them in 8mm Mauser or .308.

    One shotgun to rule them all

    Get a Benelli M2 or M4. If you're looking for clay games and hunting, go with a semi-auto Beretta. That's basically it. When it comes to SA shotguns, there's Benelli, Beretta, and everyone else. If you get an 1100, be sure to stock up on o-rings.

    Firing with gun on wood. ???

    This is exactly why I consider a free-floated barrel to be practically mandatory on a rifle.

    Firing with gun on wood. ???

    I've done this a lot, on everything from plastic barricades to wooden vtac walls to concrete cinderblocks. It works best if you're shooting a rifle with a free-floated barrel. If the barrel isn't free-floated, it's very easy to significantly change the POI just by how much pressure you're...
