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.
Taking The Term Rocket-Propelled Grenade To The Next Level, The GRP-20
by Lynndon Schooler on February 6, 2025 at 1:00 am
In 2016, a new conceptual mockup of a grenade launcher was revealed to the public in Russia. It was previously showcased as a working example at the Army Forum 2012 military expo near Moscow. Since its announcement, I have developed a growing interest in this concept. As a former grenadier, I appreciate the advantages of a lighter weapon-mounted system and the ability to achieve extended ranges.
POTD: Genesis Arms GEN-12 Personal Defense Shotgun
by Eric B on February 6, 2025 at 12:30 am
Shotguns are among the most violent firearms civilians can own, and to PDW one is an interesting take from Genesis Arms . The fact that it’s classified as a Short Barrel Shotgun and costs $4,999.99 will probably minimize the number of potential customers, but there’s no doubt this makes a great truck gun. Another benefit with shotguns is the possibility to mix between ammunition types, that can have a very wide range of use - from “master key” types, flechettes, bolas to setting things afire.
