by Cameron H on February 7, 2025 at 1:00 am
Welcome back to Guns of the Decades, where we highlight a certain firearm and discuss its place in the decade. It's not supposed to be an all-encompassing record of the firearm or a claim that it was the best firearm of the time, it's just a fun read about a gun in a particular decade. Today the decade is the 1980s, and the firearm is the SIG Sauer P226.

TFB Behind the Gun #152: Guntrepreneurship with Ares Combat Systems
by Luke C. on February 6, 2025 at 2:00 pm
SHOT Show is one of the rare times of the year when I finally get to meet people with whom I’ve been corresponding for months or even years. This year I had the opportunity to meet with someone who was pivotal in getting one of the coolest 5.56 AKs I’ve ever seen into my hands for review. Emmanuel - the owner and operator of Ares Combat Systems, has had his hands in all sorts of firearms-related projects over the years following his service in the US Army. Since then he’s dealt with soft goods, and firearms, and is now getting into the night vision space with his new Helios solar-charging battery pack. Today Emmanuel and I will go over his history as a gun industry businessman, as well as some deeper details into Ares Combat Systems' first product - the Helios battery pack.
