Updating the light rifle

Posted on February 7, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Keltec M43 bullpup in 6.5Grendel

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Oleg Volk

6.5Grendel is a fast, dense round with good ballistic coefficient. In the last half-dozen years it has become a lot more popular. To me, it would make more sense scoped — but people have achieved great accuracy with similar 6.5mm … Continue reading →

Odd absence of serious ranged weapons

Posted on January 25, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Looking at the videos and photos of the street fighting in Ukraine, it would seem that the riot police formations would be quite vulnerable to arrows, bolts and slugs even if fired from extreme range. And yet I see nothing … Continue reading →

Peaceful uses of explosives

Posted on December 28, 2013 by Oleg Volk

In response to my recent post, everyone focused on combat uses of explosives. While that is an important use, it is relatively uncommon. Just as firearms are used for recreation, hunting and other non-defensive uses far, far more often than … Continue reading →
