After briefly reading about the M11 EOD knife, I figured that I would never actually see one in person as they were not made in large numbers. I was dumbfounded when the store owner held up what was actually and M11 EOD knife.

Holy Ammo Kit

I have been friends with the owner for a while now and I love to abuse him on Instagram for being a disgusting Gen Y member. He doesn’t post to theContinue reading “Life Hacks for Your Equipment”
The Search For A Gun Cart. Yes, A Gun Cart!
A decent gun cart would make it simple for me to empty some (or all) of my safe as needed. Additionally, a rack would enable them to sit securely without risk of falling over or otherwise getting damaged.
