Bulgarian Arsenal MG-M2 Disintegrating Link 7.62x51mm PK Machine Gun
by Lynndon Schooler on May 9, 2025 at 12:00 am
The 2025 International Defence Exhibition Conference (IDEX) in Abu Dhabi, UAE, highlights emerging warfighting technologies. Although warfare continues to evolve, some fundamentals remain unchanged: soldiers and firearms are essential for taking and securing objectives. Among the most important tools for infantry troops is the machine gun, which is second to the radio. Machine guns have dominated battlefields for over a century due to their ability to deliver a large amount of lead on target. This makes them indispensable for suppressing the enemy and supporting advancing troops. From the trenches of World War I to modern-day conflicts, the machine gun has impacted military history, evolving with advancements in technology and design.

Some of us love firearms and want to mix things up to keep it interesting, but that's not always a great idea when it comes to consistency. Let's take a closer look to answer the question: Do you need multiple carry setups?
The Best Gun Gloves
by Luke C. on May 8, 2025 at 6:00 pm
Shooting gloves are an almost essential piece of range kit if you’re going to be setting up your own steel targets, or working in and around barriers in a dynamic shooting environment. Although most people typically have one type of shooting glove they prefer to always shoot with, I’ve had the opportunity over the years to try out a lot of different styles and types of shooting gloves and today I’d like to share a handful of what I consider to be the best gun gloves currently on offer in 2025.
