Santa was really cool this year and delivered me a new pair of jungle boots. Not the lame brown or all black ones that are forced on us from 157 years or the US military wasting its time in the desert. No, These are proper colored, OD green jungle boots. It was just in theContinue reading “Belleville Jungle Boots”

HK’s Other 4.6: the HK36 in 4.6 x 36
By Kevin O’Brien Around 1970, Heckler & Koch was doing well, but their restless engineers were thinking: what’s next? One thing we learn from history is that no weapons system lasts forever, and there was maybe one more go-around in the company’s present line of roller-locked weapons, trading some militaries’ 7.62 NATO weapons for 5.56 NATO ones. ButContinue reading “HK’s Other 4.6: the HK36 in 4.6 x 36”
Two Gulf Wars!
While looking at some gun pages on instagram, I ran across this gem that is hilarious to me. But not in the way they intended it to be. Millennials and zoomers have literally become the meme they love to use over the 1911. The M9 is the pistol they grew up with the military havingContinue reading “Two Gulf Wars!”

Silent Night 2023
Man, it really pains me to write this review. John Woo is a personal favorite director of mine. Who knows more about action shoot’em ups than Woo? Apparently, Woo has gone the way of Ridley Squat.

Ever since I saw Eli Roth’s fake trailer that played betwixt Planet Terror and Deathproof during the Grindhouse double-feature, I wanted this movie to be real. Roth made noise over the years thatContinue reading “Thanksgiving 2023”
Not Always “Just A Tool”
The knife above is a relatively plain Swiss Army knife. It is a little over 15 years old and I have carried and used it almost all of that time. It;s nothing rare or worth any money from some kind of collectors standpoint and it is certainly a tool. And it is a very handyContinue reading “Not Always “Just A Tool””
The Rifleman`s Corner; Episode 1: GTE 90 Swiss Army LBE
I ran across this dood on shittube and found it pretty interesting, Maybe so will you. I don’t consider myself fascinated by the Swiss military and its gear but I do have a friend that is. Guy has more K-31s and Alpenflage that a company of Swiss riflemen. His interest in it has always kept me aware ofContinue reading “The Rifleman`s Corner; Episode 1: GTE 90 Swiss Army LBE”
