Zombies, Werewolves, Vampires and More Common Threats, Too

Posted on November 28, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Just in time for the holiday shopping season: the Triple Threat Kit. Stakes for vampires, silver-plated bullets for werewolves…which also work on zombies the old-fashioned ballistic way. Ammunition is loaded pretty hot and works best in Coonan pistols and strong … Continue reading →

Kathy Jackson with a cornered cat.

Posted on October 25, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Gremlin with Kathy Jackson of the Cornered Cat fame. While she’s a great writer and a highly regarded self-defense trainer, I get an impression that the furbie appreciates her more for being cuddly. So sexist!

Эволюция слов за двадцать лет.

Posted on October 3, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Интересно, сколько уже лет слово “мыльница” значит преимущественно “компактный цифровой фотоаппарат”? Термин “цифро-мыльница” уже не употребляется (плёночные вышли из обращения), а сами мыльницы для мыла вроде тоже канули в лету. Кто теперь ими пользуется кроме диких туристов… А с распространением … Continue reading →

Ever wondered where all those Keltec rifles end up?

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Oleg Volk

The zombies are hoarding them for the apocalypse. Preferred caliber is 300Blackout, of course. When the night of the living dead comes, they won’t have to stumble around hoping to snag a slow human. Why try to catch the brain … Continue reading →

Ways to relax

Posted on August 16, 2012 by Oleg Volk

One of my friends recently wrote about her reaction to the news: “I’d take up flower-arranging to try and calm down, but I’d probably just wind up turning out lovely arrangements of dead roses and barbed wire…” I suspect that … Continue reading →

The reason for Desert Eagle grips size

Posted on August 14, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Ever wondered who has hands big enough to shoot Desert Eagles comfortably? I bet he carries enough of them to do New York reloads…or at least his book characters could.

Have you ever wondered what “SSG” means?

Posted on July 18, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Steyr SSG08 isn’t pretty. Like PKM and RPG7 it’s what you haul out when utility trumps aesthetics. 12-42x Nightforce scope might be a bit much for it, but it does help to see the whites of their eyes at very … Continue reading →

Posted on June 10, 2012 by Oleg Volk

After passing through Prague and Bratislava, I flew back on Friday from Budapest. The first weekend proved rather exciting, with Day by Day cast shooting down a drone and me documenting the picturesque wreckage. But that’s not the full story. … Continue reading →

Canon T90 with 17mm lens. (nsfw)

Posted on May 3, 2012 by Oleg Volk

(Photo of T90 with 50mm lens by Mark Probst) My first “serious” SLR camera after coming to the US was the awful T-60, an unreliable and vibration-prone entry level camera. I opted for it over used AE1 and similar bodies … Continue reading →

Matthew 25:36 (nsfw)

Posted on April 8, 2012 by Oleg Volk

The Bible urges us to clothe the naked, so I offered the fence climber my neck tie. Not being a corporate creature anymore, I don’t wear it anyway. It fit her well, being precisely the right length to ensure a … Continue reading →
