Above is a picture of a shotgun choke using during the Vietnam war, mainly by the SEALs, for infrantry combat. You don’t see many pictures of them in use or in action. As you know, shotgun buck or pellets exit and spread in a cone or circular pattern, mostly.

7.62 NATO, Turning cover into concealment since…. well, not as often as you may think.

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. Whatever they had, is now gone. Or maybe the Hollywood system has to ruin every Woo movie? I’m goingContinue reading “Silent Night 2023”
