  • Silencer Saturday #406: Suppressing Picky Hosts With The BOE Mod1
    Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday, brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor . This week, we are looking at the BOE Mod1 and how it performs on some rifles that do not like being suppressed.
  • Vietnam’s NSV Heavy Machine Gun - The SCX-12.7V
    The old-school DShK and Type 54 heavy machine guns, supplied by the Soviet Union and China, were once the backbone of Vietnam’s heavy machine gun inventory. Rugged, reliable, and brutally effective, they earned their reputation across countless battlefields during the wars against the French, South Vietnam, and the United States. Their 12.7mm projectiles can defeat light armor and low-flying aircraft, while their long range and sheer volume of fire make them invaluable in both offense and defense. Over time, these weapons became legends, remembered as symbols of Vietnam’s anti-aircraft capability.
  • POTD: Creedmoor or Bust - The B&T APC6.5 Steps In
    I wanted to post about the new APC6.5 DMR in 6.5 Creedmoor, but there were no decent pictures to share. That’s until now, hence this Photo Of The Day. I’m an avid fan of precision shooting with semi-automatics, and DMR competitions are a great place to separate the wheat from the chaff. Typically, the 6.5 Creedmoor performs better than .308 Win, so it’s my choice whenever I don’t go for .223 Rem.
  • Fudd Friday: The One-of-a-Kind Over & Under Thompson/Center Contender
    According to the video, yes. The presenter put rounds downrange at 50 yards with both barrels and achieved touching groups—half an inch apart or less. That's impressive for any pistol, let alone one this unconventional. With the .17 caliber cartridges, there's minimal recoil, and the red dot sight reportedly stayed on target throughout.
  • Reflex & Iron Sight Hybrid - The TrueAim Active Iron Sights
    A company called TrueAim Sights  has developed a pretty interesting handgun aiming system that sort of blends the iron sights with reflex sights. The TrueAim Active Iron Sights consist of a rear iron sight with a built-in green diode and a front iron sight with a built-in light-reflecting element. As soon as the sights and your eye are aligned, you'll see the green light reflected from the front sight; otherwise, the front sight insert will appear white/transparent. The company describes this product as a reflective green dot in an iron sight form factor .
