Shooting beams of light.

Mantis laser bolt replacement for AR15 uses the magazine well to hold the battery. It’s a terrific way to practice marksmanship mechanics without noise, risk, or ammunition expense.

ST50 fire control group.

Enjoyed by kids.
Enjoyed by adults. Apparently, it’s just fun. And now KelTec has a similar KP50 of their own.

Old-fashioned design, but quite effective.

It may have been longer than Japanese sniper scopes, but at least it was user-zeroable!
“User approved!”

What kind of neat tool does she have?
An unusual design: a bolt action 9mm pistol.
Suppressor with wipes keeps it so quiet as to not hurt the ears of her child.

Disarming people is NEVER done for their benefit.

Posted on April 16, 2026 by Oleg Volk

Take guns away from the Irish. Or the Jews. Or the handicapped. Or the gays. Or the women. Or the residents of New York. Or non-government people. Singling out a group is always done with ill intent.

GOA15 shown is great for people with limited strength.

Derringer in action

Posted on April 16, 2026 by Oleg Volk
Ignition! The percussion cap has fired, but the main powder charge hasn’t caught yet.
Despite being rifles and putting out an impressive fireball, this .44 caliber black powder derringer is neither accurate nor powerful.

Vintage 38s in action.

Posted on April 16, 2026 by Oleg Volk
38S&W caliber can be quite accurate, and recoil is mild.
38S&W Short cartridges can be fired in Long chambers also.
A vintage gun and a vintage superhero.

1880s self-reliance mid-bang!
38S&W Short is significantly more potent and accurate that could have been expected.

Polymer coated and jacketed Steinel ammunition for 32S&W Short revolver.
Bullet in flight is slow enough to be (almost) captured by the camera.
This 140 year old hammerless “Lemon Squeezer” revolver has respectable accuracy and performance.

It’s just chalk. Imagine what a frag would do!

Posted on April 16, 2026 by Oleg Volk

40mm practice chalk projectiles come with a zinc base for the weight and the trajectory to match HE grenades. You can see the dark zinc base in the centers of the chalk clouds.

The practice rounds impacted with enough momentum to overturn some of my steel targets.

Gloves aren’t just for cold weather!

My friend aims his 40mm grenade launcher…
…and behold the massive breech gap flash! His glove protected his wrist from a burn.
A hefty message is on its way downrange.

This is a very odd design: the entire magazine tube moves with the forend.
