Barricade Firing Firing from a barricaded position is an essential part of combat marksmanship. It is a relatively straightforward skill and easily acquired. As all shooting techniques, however, mastery only comes from extensive practice. Contrary to what is seen on movies, most shooting incidents do not happen at high noon on Main Street. Common sense dictates that when being shot at, the reasonable person will try to find cover from incoming rounds. If withdrawal from the scene is not practical and returning fire is justified, then knowledge of barricade position firing is essential. As this is a combat skill, it is important to become as small a target as possible. A good strategy is to...

In the ever-growing sport of Airsoft, no one product has impacted its worldwide popularity more than the incredible automatic electric gun. This particular Airsoft gun, commonly referred to as the AEG, has single handedly lifted the sport to meteoric heights. Airsoft had its humble beginnings in Asia due to the strict gun laws that severely prohibited the private ownership of firearms in that region of the world. It was in the nation of Japan where it is illegal to own real firearms, that the first Airsoft gun replicas were developed in the early 1980s. A small Japanese manufacturer of radio controlled car models turned its sights to making replica guns in hopes of finding a market for gun...

EEZ0X since 1984 has proven to be a solvent, lubricant, cleaner, and protector of both the metal on firearms but their stocks as well. Factory finishes on wooden stocks will be preserved and enhanced by the use of EEZOX. My personal firearms have been cared for exclusively by EEZOX since my meeting Mr. Nasca at the Dallas, Texas Shot Show in the late 80's. The hype was so good I purchased a small can. It sat in my gun room several years until I ran out of my old faithful cleaning solvents and in desperation found it behind the bench. Shooting match requires the cleaning to be drudgery. The instructions required the removal of all the other lubricants and solvents prior to applying EEZOX. This...

Weaver rifle scopes have been around for quite some time. As a matter of fact they were introduced as far back as 1930 and ever since Weaver has become a very well known brand name in the world of hunting and shooting. Like many other rifle scope companies over the years Weaver has felt the pinch of competition despite a long and established history of producing quality products. Weaver itself was sold on in the late 1990s and shortly afterwards was bought by a company called Meade who made it their mission to modernize the entire Weaver scope range. For many years the most popular Weaver rifle scopes have been the 330 and 400 which are well known for delivering excellent quality and performance...

Almost every hunter and outdoorsman needs a knife to handle tasks while out in the woods. These tasks include everything from knives used for cutting twine, field dressing and even cutting down small trees. But how do you choose the right knife? First, let's define some major types of knives. Folding and Lockback - These are knives that fold into a compact size when not in use. These are specifically designed to be compact and portable.

They are larger and less compact usually requiring a sheath for your protection and carrying when not in use. Saw Blade...

What are fighting knives? Knives play an essential role in our daily lives. They are something we take for granted. But there are fields of work and other non-work situations which call for the use of knives of a less than innocuous kind. Fighting knives are knives intended to be used by one person against another. Although there are many weapons that can be used, fighting knives have a special purpose. One aspect of fighting knives that sets them apart from other weapons like guns, for example, is that they do not require ammunition. No bullets or other special clips are needed to enable a fighting knife to function. Knives are more portable and longer lasting. A fighting knife is also going...

Many of us in our community are deeply saddened by the tragedy that struck Virginia Tech this week on the morning of April 16, 2007. A troubled individual, Cho Seung Hui, a South Korean national and a U.S. legal resident, took things to the extreme by taking the lives of 32 of his fellow VT students and ultimately himself. Is it possible that such a tragedy could have been prevented? What kind of sentiment could there be toward other Asians and not just people of Korean descent? Should we foster the same sentiment to Cho Seung Hui as Americans did with Chai Vang, another Asian who took the lives of fellow hunters in 2004? To whom should we be pointing the finger? It is a sad situation that...

Find out why the airsoft sniper rifle is fast becoming one of the most popular choices among members of airsoft war game clubs and leagues. Airgun gamers are flocking to the latest "must have" weapon - Airsoft sniper rifles with state-of-the-art riflescopes. I think the lure is the same as for this type of hobby in the first place; namely, to play at warfare without actually being in danger. Certainly one of the coolest jobs on any military-style airgun team is that of sniping, so it's no surprise that Airsoft sniper rifles are selling like hotcakes. The newest wrinkle, though, is to chuck the standard scope that comes with these guns in favor of after-market, highly advanced riflescopes. Probably...

This is the gamer that wants to place himself in the perfect hidden location in order...

It is Front Sight Firearms Training Facility's current mission to instruct teachers across the nation in concealed weapon use for free. Front Sight's founder and owner, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, intends to get trained concealed weapons experts into all of America's schools and thus prevent further disasters like Virginia Tech or Columbine. The response to this has been remarkably supportive. "I can't imagine anyone being opposed to the idea of putting concealed weapons experts into schools - what else would scare off these gunmen? Certainly not laws against them owning guns!" - R.H. "How many times must we experience another Littleton, Colorado or Virginia Tech before we wake up, study the research and...

There are many arguments for and against gun control in this country and with so many misusing firearms it's not hard to understand the position of those in favor of more control or banning and those who wish to see the owning of guns remain a choice that individuals make and not the government. I generally consider myself a fairly liberal person and while I believe there are always stronger ways to keep guns out of the hands of people who would use them improperly and to do other harm, I also believe that removing guns from society all together will only force immoral individuals to find another weapon with which to threaten us with. In addition to traditional firearms, there has been a lot of...

After successfully being passed through the Senate, and the House of Representatives, Congress has now forwarded the Gun Liability Bill to President Bush for his signature. There is no doubt that President Bush will endorse this bill, which gives limited protection to firearms dealers and manufacturers from liability lawsuits.This will not protect gun dealers, who are negligent in background checks, or who knowingly pass guns to criminals. Whatever your opinion of the second amendment, this seems to be common sense at a time when the U.S. legal system is backlogged with ludicrous liability suits.If you are sick and tired of foolish lawsuits, the gun lobby, Pentagon, and the National Rifle...

There has been a huge amount of news recently involving child abductions, parental abductions, and child abuse. From Natalie Holloway in Aruba to Jessica Lundsford in Florida, parents have heard about children who have been kidnapped and murdered. Then there were the stories of parents who keep their children in cages or made them drink bleach to cleanse them of evil spirits. This is very scary stuff. The fact that we live in a world where people will hurt children, where even some parents have hurt their own children. We see profiled pictures of child sexual predators online, in the newspaper, and on television almost every week now it seems. What is a young parent, or any parent for that matter...

Prior to the 1940s, civilian self defense courses virtually were unheard of in many countries in the western world. For instance, in nations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, France and other European countries, self defense courses truly were a rarity. Prior to the commencement of hostilities in World War II, self defense courses were rarely seen outside the basic training regimen for youthful soldiers in the armed forces. With the trench warfare of the Great War, military experts and planners recognized the importance of incorporating self defense courses -- including modified submission fighting -- into the basic training routine. During the 1940s, civilians were introduced to...

Firearms were not available to the population so those interested in guns had to resort to the only weapons which closely resembled them.

Airsoft guns shoot small plastic ball rounds which were called BB by Asian manufacturers. The caliber varied from model to model. Due to the popularity of this gun type several...

Though a large variety of pellet guns, high-powered break-barrel guns, CO2 powered pistols are now available in the market, BB guns are still popular for the people enjoying target practice.
