I moved this topic to Off Target because the source is Inforwars.com. I do think the subject is a legitimate concern though.

TFB Review: The New Staccato C – The Most Flexible Staccato Yet
by Luke C. on April 3, 2025 at 12:00 am
The 2011 platform has long been a favorite among competition shooters—fast, accurate, and smooth in a way that makes your average off-the-shelf gun feel clunky in comparison. But let’s be honest: these pistols have historically been big, heavy, and not exactly carry-friendly. Staccato not only noticed this gap in their product lineup but due to the more widespread adoption of Staccato 2011 pistols for not just competition, but duty as well meant that the new Staccato C was an inevitability. Staccato announced its launch earlier in 2024, with the first few pieces shipping out in mid-2024 - mine included. This updated model replaced the earlier single-stack Staccato C, introducing enhancements like a beefier frame and new magazine geometry tailored for versatility in concealed carry, duty, and home defense as opposed to pure competition performance.
POTD: The M110A1 Squad Designated Marksman Rifle
by Eric B on April 2, 2025 at 11:30 pm
Today we have some sweet photos of the M110 SDMR Sniper System, which is a semi-automatic precision rifle that is chambered for the 7.62×51mm NATO round. The optic is a SIG Sauer TANGO6 1–6x24 low-power variable optic, which blends in perfectly among the other strange shades of FDE. The bipod is a 6-9 Harris with a LaRue mount to fit the M-LOK handguard.
Wheelgun Wednesday: American Gun Craft ROTO 12 Revolver Shotguns
by Hrachya H on April 2, 2025 at 11:00 pm
Welcome back to Wheelgun Wednesday , TFB’s weekly article series where we discuss all kinds of firearms with cylinders, including unusual ones like the modern multi-caliber pepperbox that we took a look at a couple of weeks ago or what we have for today's edition - the ROTO 12 revolver shotgun line by American Gun Craft . ROTO 12 shotguns are basically black powder percussion revolvers; each chamber of their cylinders must be primed and loaded with FFG powder and projectile. Well, thanks to that feature , purchasing them does not require an FFL transfer; the company can deliver these wheelguns directly to your doorstep (with a few exceptions).
TFB Review: Meprolight Tru-Vision SR Red Dot Optic
by Sam.S on April 2, 2025 at 6:00 pm
I've been on a bit of an optics kick lately, adding various sighting solutions to my firearms. When the opportunity came to test out Meprolight's Tru-Vision SR MIL-STD Red Dot Optic , I jumped at the chance to see how this would perform on an equally unique looking firearm. After spending a full day at the range in Minnesota's wonderful 30-degree windy weather, I can say with confidence that this red dot delivers on its promises. Let's dive into the details.
How to Choose the Ideal Twist Rate for Your AR-15
by Luke C. on April 2, 2025 at 3:00 pm
Anyone who has built their own AR-15 will have inevitably come across the all-important task of choosing what barrel twist rate they’ll be using. When I built my first AR-15, I relied entirely on a diagram I found on 4chan’s weapons board, /k/, which mapped twist rates to bullet weights. The extremely rudimentary chart clearly identified what common barrel twist rates worked best with what bullet weights, but beyond that, it offered no scientific explanation or reasoning behind it.
