Milipol 25 – Direct Action Mortar Pack I got to check out Direct Action‘s Mortar Pack, designed to carry 10 mortar bombs nested in their container. Rather than a soft sided pack, the outside is reinforced to offer additional protection for the contents. The interior is covered in PALS so it can accommodate other sensitive items like electronics or drones. ? The suspension and straps are well padded for the added weight of mortar bombs. ?

Part of my current career is to service federal contracts for three-letter agencies with a vowel to include mission-ready pre-deployment training. Having built a number of these training packages, there are three fundamental skills that an entry-level shooter must master prior to deployment. Ironically, these are the very same skills that present the very same challenges even to elite performance shooters. Albeit the errors are less frequent and far less egregious, they are essentially the same. What are these critical pre-deployment skills and how do they benefit both the novice and the seasoned professional alike? First and foremost, immediately following…

The international arms trade is full of intrigue. There are books and films, invariably highlighting the sexier parts of the subject while minimizing the mundane. All international trade is an extension of politics, and double so when we’re talking about outfitting nations and secretly arming insurgents. Nation-states expand their influence by supplying small arms to their partners, and most of the time, you could easily figure out a country’s political affiliations by just looking at their weapon fleet. During the Cold War years, a nation with a sudden influx of AKs and other Soviet armaments usually meant that the leaders…

Photo: JD Photography.I’ve owned a lot of great guns, but none are more dear to my heart than a practical, old Remington 700 named Elvira.It wasn’t love at first sight but a relationship that was born of necessity. I was never a fan of synthetic stock stainless, rifles even though I owned one for my “truck gun.” I considered myself old school, preferring the feel of a nice walnut stock and the luster of a quality blued finish.

Once I’m cozy, wrapped up in my sleeping bag like a chubby Chipotle burrito, there aren’t many forces on heaven or earth that will compel me to leave my safe little cocoon. One is the call of nature — but even then, I will go to great lengths to forestall getting up, in hopes I can fall back asleep and wait for the callback.
