TFB Review: Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 - The 380 Auto Reimagined
by Adam Scepaniak on April 8, 2025 at 12:00 am
The Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 is by all metrics a reimagined pistol from the ground up, but to get to the final product that we have before us today, there was quite a journey that occurred. The original Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380 came out around 2010. Simple, tiny, and functional, it was the embodiment of pocket carry. These original models lacked frills and upgrades because they were meant to be basic, affordable, and reliable. Clamor from shooters wanting more brought us the M&P Bodyguard 380. This, in a sense, was a “2.0 variant” without the moniker. It was ever-so-slightly larger, more ergonomic, but the same capacity.
POTD: AKS-74U and SG552 - Beach Ballistics
by Eric B on April 7, 2025 at 11:30 pm
Thanks to Beach Ballistics we have a pretty fancy Photo Of The Day to share. In my opinion the AKS-74U is the coolest AK ever, but I admit I’ve never fired one and probably never will. A friend of mine owns a Swiss SIG SG552, so I’m more familiar with that. All I could wish for was a better trigger and a free-floating barrel, but I guess it works for grunts and the special forces alike so who am I to complain?
The Rimfire Report: A Closer Look at the “New” HK G36 22LR
by Luke C. on April 7, 2025 at 11:00 pm
Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! In this ongoing series, we cover anything and everything rimfire, including ammo, history, and, of course, new guns. While it may be “new” for the reorienting USA division of Heckler & Koch, today’s rifle has garnered a lot of recent interest from the wider community, so I secured a T&E copy for a full review here on TFB. Today, we’ll start at the beginning and take a closer look at this “new” rifle, its brief history so far, and what the rifle has to offer just on the surface. In subsequent articles, we’ll also test it for reliability, accuracy, and all that other good stuff. For now, let's take a look at the HK G36 22LR rifle’s humble beginnings - from the German airgun company Umarex.
We Accuracy Tested the FN SCAR, SIG MCX-SPEAR, and Steyr DMR
by James Reeves on April 7, 2025 at 6:00 pm
In this video, Martin from Austria Arms and I put three of the most talked-about 7.62 battle rifles head-to-head in a real-world accuracy test. We’re talking the FN SCAR 17 Heavy, the SIG MCX-SPEAR, and the brand-new Steyr DMR. All three are piston-driven, modular rifles from top-tier manufacturers—but how do they actually perform on paper? We shot them side-by-side with the same ammo, from the same distance, and the results might surprise you. One of these rifles is supposed to be 1 MOA accurate. Did it deliver? Did any of them? Watch and find out.
