A recent development in the Russian GP under-barrel grenade launcher series is the GP-46, part of Kalashnikov Concern's export series of weapons chambered in NATO calibers.

New 50 SW Straightwall, For Long Range Hunting
by Zac K on April 1, 2025 at 6:00 pm
Say you’re hunting in the high mountain ranges of Indiana, and you want to reach out and knock over an elk. Or maybe you’re in Ohio farmland, glassing fields a mile away, in the next county over, and you see a Booner step out of the treeline. Thanks to a collaboration between Barrett and Federal, you no longer have to pass on that shot because your straightwall cartridge rifle isn’t powerful enough! Today, on April 1, they’ve revealed the new 50 SW cartridge for the long-distance hunter who needs to follow straightwall cartridge restrictions.

In this article, I want to look at some of the differences between training at the range and training for self-defense. Training for both is equally important, but training at the range isn't always training for self-defense. There's a common misconception that training in general will also be training your self-defense skills.
