“For among other evils which being unarmed brings you, it causes you to be despised” ~Machiavelli

TAC range in Knoxville is under new ownership

Posted on February 24, 2015 by Oleg Volk

The range time is reasonably priced, the facility is clean and well-ventilated, and they offer courses for improving proficiency. This time of year (and during the hottest summer), I’d rather shoot indoors. And they rent submachine guns (Uzi, Sterling, Sten, … Continue reading →

Maturity isn’t just a function of age.

Posted on February 24, 2015 by Oleg Volk

Sydney is a competitive shooter. I’d rather have her around than many chronologically adult people who haven’t a fraction of her maturity, education and ability. Of course, there are times when she acts like the 14 year old that she … Continue reading →

“Это пять!”

Posted on November 18, 2014 by Oleg Volk

In Russian, school grades go from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). So the expression “It’s a five!” represents approval. This MP is definitely a five! (another MAD submachine gun)

Range snapshots of roller-locked guns

Posted on November 17, 2014 by Oleg Volk

With one company making such guns known for rudeness and another for shoddy quality, it was nice to hang out with friendly people who make good 5.56mm, 7.62mm and 9mm roller-locked guns. By accident of lighting and timing, we can … Continue reading →

Unwinding between bouts of work

Posted on October 19, 2014 by Oleg Volk

My tech support is in town. Ingram 45ACp submachine gun with a home-made (properly tax stamped) Scionics-type silencer. No usable sights (needs a red dot) but can be point shot fairly well out to 35-40 yards.

A bad day in the French countryside

Posted on July 22, 2014 by Oleg Volk

When the bolt stays forward on your last machine pistol magazine, it’s going to be a bad day…but probably not for very long.

Uzi loaded with tracers

Posted on September 28, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Wherever he is, John Galt probably prefers a weapon with more range. The Uzi, especially with the solid wooden stock, does work all right to about 100 meters. A little more forward lean would have been nice, but it worked … Continue reading →
