変な草を食ったようだ

In 2009 I reviewed both versions of the XCR and gave them mostly thumbs up. The XCRs combine AR ergonomics with AK level reliability and longevity. With brass fodder, they were accurate and reliable. I did criticize the weight (dude to all metal chassis), the firing impulse, and not being able to feed steel cased ammo back then. This is equal time for Alex Robinson in front of a big audience. He shows us the updates to the design, explains the unique non-rotating bolt of the XCR, and takes exception to the recoil criticism. Fair enough! The XCR now wears what seems to be a much better design adjustable AND folding XCS stock; check out that sweet check piece that actually DOES raise your check weld (vs the SCAR). I think if Robinson would mill off those side and bottom rails entirely and include three 3" sections that are user attachable, the gun could lose a few ounces and sell better and I myself would be more excited about it. But even as it is, few guns do what the XCR does now: a Kalishinov style design that departs completely with Stoner and rapid caliber conversions. It seems the caliber conversions are a bit more affordable than they used to be too. Available in CeraKoted finishes, the 7.5 lb (light contour barrel) XCR-L still stands alone as a unique, reliable alternative to the competition.

UMAREX USA is well known as an airgun and real-steel firearms manufacturer.

This gun has been superceded in technology by today’s tactical carbines. But it’s still bitchin’ and I always wanted one. Here’s the quick run down by me on Sig 551A1. At 7.7 lbs its weight sucks for having such a thin barrel. But it has good trigger, Pic rail, and that uber cool adherence to the original Sig we always wanted.

Thanks for watching folks!

If you’re tactically oriented like we tend to be in TNP, you will like these guns. I pick my favorites from the LWRC rack and we take it to the back room to have AJ cover the details on these cool looking high performing piston AR-15s. Proven in extensive testing in TNP with these LWRC carbines run 100%. They are constantly evolving into even better guns and for years LWRC has been the choice for some serious LE and Military users. Here we look at the Tricon Mk 6, M6 IC, IC SPR, and some other new guns for 2012. Most of these guns wear their attractive FDE CeraKote finishing that is currently a $150 upcharge. Also you note the new forged rail attachment system in the IC that competed in the military trials. It’s a cool feature but I wouldn’t feel inadequate running the old style at all; very proven. Also we see their entry level gun featuring all standard LWRC nickel boron internals and a .62 tapering Nicorr finished barrel: The Base Model. Their .308 REPR is still heavy for me but on par with other designs like the DMPS, Remingtion, LaRue, and JP. It’s CNC bolt carrier is Teflon coated and it has a left mounted charging handle that you will either love or hate. Their Skirmish Sights and LWRC Ambi Charging handle are well designed and I’d love running them on my guns and they’re about the same price as other alternatives. TacticalDoodle succumbs to LWRC lust in the end but we keep him from walking away with one or two of these fighting rifles. After another exhausting day at SHOT, AJ hangs in there to score another cool booth review on guns I love. //////////////////////////See my review on the M6 series for even greater details that most of these guns share in common: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pM54oGTSv0 ///////////////////////Music Licensed from Jason Shaw

This is a new UMP45 coming out from the guys over at ARES and Umarex. The gun is fully licensed and trademarked.

During Show Show 2012 we had a chance to meet with the guys over at Action Sports Games aka ASG and talk to them about their new products. Since they are based in Europe, they are relatively new to the US market and little is known about them. We take the chance to introduce them and show case just some of their coolest products exclusively just for YOU! Enjoy.

Tru-Spec unveiled their latest Tactical clothing items at SHOT Show 2012 and we were highly impressed. In this video, Tim goes over their brand new Camouflage pattern that is featured on their Combat Shirt as well as their Soft-Shell jacket.

This is a small piece of the full interview I am currently editing. This was by far the best interview I have ever done… So much fun..lol..

This is a short vid with a portion of my visit to Cybergun while I was at Shot Show 2012. They have some very interesting things hitting the market in 2012, one of which is the target setup seen in this video.. Suggestested Retail proce is $1700+/-… With the money earning potential, this price is not bad at all.. More information on this will be available soon.

Cybergun has unveiled some great new sniper rifles at SHOT Show 2012. In this video, Bob and Frank go over Cybergun’s new Blaser and Dragunov sniper rifles, both made by King Arms.

Another Gold Star SHOT 2012 vid from another passionate, expert. Meet John Paul from JP Enterprises, the engaging and well-spoken Founder and President of the company. If you want to see how perfected the AR-15 desgin can get, no holds barred, look to JP. He became a reluctant believer of the 15’s accuracy and then went on to improve the design according he and his shooters’ needs. With this extensive competition background and data emerges the very impressive JP Enterprises models of the gun, covered here (also produced not shown, the very smooth MR-10 bolt gun). JP guns come in our favorite calibers and everything is negotiable when you order (but might up the cost). Forget mil-spec. This is above and beyond and light years better: billet receivers, thermal dissipators, perfectly milled and tuned muzzle brakes, cryo’d 416R air-gauged SS barrels, smoothness enhancing captured action springs, offside folding charging handles, and highly tuned triggers that are reliable, precise, and quick-resetting. Yeah they’re special and built like and old school Swiss watch. Rack the bolt of a JP gun like the PSC-11 and you will feel the quality and extreme attention detail. John does an outstanding job of explaining his design approach; his passion and commitment to the details comes through loud and clear. He relishes in the fact his small company doesn’t answer to bean counters that would force shortcuts on basis of cost. No corners are cut here and no apologies are made for it. Of course these guns cost and they cost A LOT but lots of other great alternatives abound. A quick look on the Three Gun courses will show that many opt for the JP brand so they have a gun that "shoots like a house on fire." Quick, fast, and precise these are some of the best DI semi-autos and bolt guns in the world. We had a wonderful time visiting with another master in the industry and learning about another American firearms success story. Every industry needs a FERRARI and in the AR-15 world, it’s JP.

Tanfoglio competition pistols are some of the most high quality pistols on the market for competition speed shooting and Cybergun has teamed up with them to create an amazing GBB handgun. In this Video, Bob and Frank give a quick overview of these guns and discuss their various features and their advantages.
