*Images by the author unless otherwise noted The MP5 A lot of people are comparing the Kuna to the MP5, only with a semi-automatic vibe. The H&K MP5 is the gold standard of submachine guns. Sporting a 30-round magazine and roller-delayed blowback action (just like the Kuna), it is in constant demand. It has been ... Read more

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union sought to develop an assault rifle specifically designed for underwater use by its naval special forces, commonly referred to as Soviet frogmen. These operations required specialized tools that would enable effective combat both underwater and on land. The Soviet Union and Russia are among the few nations with this unique requirement.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about having multiple carry setups and why you may need more than just your regular everyday carry. If you happen to miss that article, be sure to click the link here  to check it out. This week, I wanted to look at some of the more interesting carry guns that I still enjoy carrying. They may not be the most modern option, but they are still great firearms in their own way. I read articles constantly about the latest and greatest firearms, but are the older firearms still proficient? Let's take a closer look at modern vs older carry guns.

Headstamp Publishing will publish a new book focused on the classic big-bore battle rifles of the Cold War. Written by Ian McCollum and James Rupley the book will cover all of the major rifles developed and issued during the period, including: the FN FAL, M14, HK G3 and the AR-10 but also some of the less well known Battle Rifles such as the French MAS49/56, Danish LAR, and the Stgw. 57.

SilencerCo is back at their pistol work again, this time with something that will hopefully scratch the itch for those who want a Maxim 9 but just can’t find a way to get their hands on one. While this slide won’t convert your Glock into a Maxim 9, the design of the new SCO Slide is heavily inspired by SilencerCo’s integrally suppressed 9mm pistol . The new slide is also going to come pre-cut, ready to direct-mount one optic of your choice from a list of some of the most popular pistol red dots currently available.

After 10 years and hundreds of gun reviews, we’re finally doing it — a definitive list of the top 10 guns we’ve ever reviewed on TFBTV. In Part 1 of this three-part series, James covers the five guns that aren’t just fan favorites — they’re legends. These are the firearms that changed the game and left a lasting mark on both TFBTV and the gun world.

Mike Slack has been hard at work for years developing and designing suppressors. His new company, Engaged Industries , and their first two suppressors, the Operator and Recon , are trying to do their best to revolutionize  as well as educate  the suppressor world. Mike’s two suppressors share a unique design that capitalizes on fluid dynamics and vacuum characteristics to create a lightweight, high-performing, and quiet suppressor that also doesn’t behave like old-school high-backpressure suppressors. Mike has also developed his own quieter “Stealth LoK” QD system , which also has a bunch of other small design features that make it an improvement over a lot of other offerings already on the market. To hear those details and more, tune into this week’s episode of TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast featuring Mike Slack of Engaged Industries .

The Pistollo 77° is probably one of the weirdest firearms I’ve ever seen. As the designer ran me through the details, I had a hard time realizing what I was looking at. It’s almost as if one lets Artificial Intelligence design a gun, and we all have a laugh that it’s never going to work. But the Pistollо is real, it works and the first production units are about to be released. It would totally fit any country’s Space Force, but unless you’re Czech, you can’t buy it. Not just yet, anyway, but it will eventually be available for the U.S. market.

This is TFB’s Photo Of The Day, and today we’re looking at something that hits like a freight train and is built with the kind of precision only Italian craftsmanship can deliver – a .50 BMG sniper rifle from Victrix Armaments.

Except for very, very rare exceptions like the Chiappa Rhino, revolvers more or less look the same these days, and function mostly the same as well. There’s a pattern to follow. But in the 1800s, designers were still figuring things out, trying new ideas to make better handguns. One of those was the 1858 revolver from entrepreneur/designer Ebanezer Starr. This was one of the earliest double-action handguns in the world, particularly in the U.S.
