Less fear. More preparation.

Posted on January 26, 2016 by Oleg Volk

A shotgun might be more appropriate, but a pistol with a laser can be quicker to grab from the nightstand.

Be very, verrry quiet…

Fun size buckshot

Posted on November 22, 2015 by Oleg Volk

They may be short, but it’ still buckshot at 1200fps. Not much recoil to speak of. Numerous reviews mentioning use in a KSG (in my experience, each tube holds 12 shells, one review mentions 11). Now to actually find these … Continue reading →

Improving Sub200mk2 further

Posted on July 3, 2015 by Oleg Volk

The muzzle of mk2 is threaded, but 9mm doesn’t really need a flash hider. So I added a linear compensator aka noise re-direction device. Works very well: the report becomes a lot less noticeable, especially with subsonic ammunition which doesn’t … Continue reading →

A rifle for grizzly?

Posted on March 18, 2015 by Oleg Volk

Since a single shot rifle with .22 Long cartridge was enough to drop a record-size grizzly, does this mean thirty rounds of  22WMR would suffice for a whole herd of dinosaurs?

Posted on December 1, 2014 by Oleg Volk

The optic is the familiar 3x prismatic with BDC reticle. The 3x reticle is not the same as shown in the video, but the principles of use are the same.

Accurate rifles are interesting. Accurate shooting is more so.

Posted on December 1, 2014 by Oleg Volk

  Let’s say we have a target one second of flight time away. For 62gr .223 that would be about 650 yards. Aim, correct for drop, fire…not even close! 10mph side wind will take the center of the group more … Continue reading →

Posted on November 30, 2014 by Oleg Volk

The forend comes very close to the muzzle. Besides making stable firing hold easier, it also prevents partial occlusion of the weapon light by the barrel.

Reasons to like Keltec CMR30

Posted on November 28, 2014 by Oleg Volk

In my experience, it’s been reliable, accurate and fun to use. The optic shown is 3x Vortex Spitefire, quite reasonable with this cartridge for ranges up to 250 yards. 22mag ammo ranges in bullet weight from 30 to 50 grains. … Continue reading →
