• Putin’s Tiny Army – Youth Military Training Camp In Russia

    In the USA kids with guns is taboo… in Russia it’s encouraged:

    Russia-Youth-Military-Training-Camp-1

    Russia-Youth-Military-Training-Camp-2

    Children as young a five are sent on forced marches, given battlefield training, taught hand to hand combat, and how to use military equipment. 12 year olds are also taught how to fire Kalashnikov assault rifles and other small arms.  During the clubs regular camps, some children are given the opportunity to parachute jump during their paratrooper training.  The club appears to urge Russian parents not to wait until their child becomes a compulsive gambler, drug addict or alcoholic, before sending them to the club.

    Russia-Youth-Military-Training-Camp-3They’ll probably all grow up to be bloodthirsty murders though right?  Oh wait they won’t.  It’s good to see girls involved.  I find it interesting the part about urging Russian parents to send their kids to this camp before they grow up to be compulsive gamblers, drug addicts, or alcoholics.  Are those issues that huge in Russia, more so than in the US?

    In a few of the pictures it looks like the AK’s are actually cast replicas, I could be wrong though.

    What type of handgun is in picture #1 if you follow the link?  Some type of training one?

  • Holding Law Enforcement To The Same Standards

    The same standards as normal people:

    TheRealTrippleB-YouTubeThis guy is good… no special effects, no music, no bullshit.  He goes by TheRealTrippleB.  The first video of his I posted was about the Ares Armor debacle.

  • Opening Costco Kirkland Beer With An SKS

    Grab SKS, grab beer, go inna woods, open beer with SKS:

    Taofledermaus is what the game made him, not what the fame made him.  Ideas like this will keep blasting his subscriber count up and up.

    Costco-Kirkland-Rile-Ammo-Bulk-PackAll they need are Kirkland jeans, polos, and leather sandals.  3 dudes in matching Kirkland fits?  More like Twerkland right?  Looking like a boss though, in head-to-toe Costco (LOL those lines killed me on S04E03 of Workaholics)

  • HotShots Calendar Audition Is Begging For A Tex Grebner Parody

    Tex Grebner should get back on the map by submitting a parody video of this:

    I love how even HotShots acknowledges that the recruiting process has absolutely zero to do with girls who know firearms or the military.  Why would it though I guess?  The only downside is when they have to show up at events like SHOT and IWA knowing precisely zero about either it looks kind of dumb.  I’m sure none of the guys who line up for autographs care though, and probably aren’t looking to have in depth 9mm VS. .45 and Picatinny VS Keymod type debates. hah

    Tex-Grebner-No-ShirtMaybe the joke is on me, and this girl has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, and did her thesis on advanced firearms design.  She is now working at Glock developing their soon to be released rifle, and modeling is just something she does to troll other girls.

    If in 2014 you haven’t moved past paper calendars, you can pick one up over at the HotShots website.

  • Red Hot Muzzle Brake V.S. .22 LR

    Mattv2099 got bored of RHMB’ing food so he’s turning up:

    I wonder if Matt obtained his .22 LR from someone in the comments on this post?  Probably… that’s where all the best .22 LR is being sold for record low prices lately.

    Mattv2099-RHMB-Safety-GogglesLOL 0:45 – Ballistic ski goggles and ballistic hardhat no doubt.

    The anticipation of it cooking the round(s) off is like waiting for a balloon to pop.  Seems dangerous, but what do I know I’m not a troll ballistics expert like MV2099.

    Matt is wearing the AR-15 picatinny rail t-Shirt from ENDO Apparel.  Not bulletproof, but you’ll at least die looking like a prince.

    Thoughts?  Was I the only one hoping he was going to pour the whole container of .22LR onto the RHMB?

  • Oleg Volk Snaps A Blogger And His Daughter

    Fellow gun blogger SayUncle and his daughter in matching old school ENDO fits:

    SayUncle-And-Daughter

    haha Oleg captioned the pic “A child being seen but not heard“.  Nothing like a little throwback suppressor humor.

    Great pic!  That’s the first print of the M16 selector switch t-shirt I ever did.  I didn’t even use the tri-blend t-shirts back then, those are 50/50s.  Always good to see dads getting their young daughters into shooting.

    SayUncle-Daughter

    Oh NO, what would Mom’s Demand Action think?! :P

    Make sure to check Oleg Volk’s blog for more gun related pictures.

    My usual “Would operate with?” would just be a rhetorical question in this case.  Of course you would operate with her, so much win!
