The Nintendo Wii was first released in 2006, yet it is still one of history’s most enduring video game consoles. This is likely largely due to its unusual approach involving motion controllers that encouraged movement over stagnancy. Perhaps the most iconic part of that console was its unusual handheld remotes (often accidentally thrown into TVs). Knafs has harked back to those remotes with an unusual EDC tie-in: its Landeriimote Special Edition knives. Ben Petersen has always marched to his own drum. And when you own the company, you can take a flyer on something that is just fun and quirky…Kinda…

Learn More Safari cars have been all the rage in the past few years, with Porsche 911 leading that charge for decades.

These sports cars with ground clearance, suspension travel, all-terrain tires, and skid plates make for a good time on a wide range of driving surfaces. The most useful of these driving surfaces is around town, where they can tackle pothole-littered city streets…

By Peter Suciu In the late 1920s, the German military — working largely in secret due to the restrictions placed on the country as part of the Treaty of Versailles — began development of a weapon that was to prove more revolutionary than evolutionary. It was the Maschinengewehr 34, or “machine gun 34,” a recoil-operated air-cooled general-purpose machine gun. First tested in 1929, introduced in 1934, and issued to units in 1936, it introduced an entirely new concept in automatic firepower — the Einheitsmaschinengewehr (Universal machine gun). However, there was still an opinion within the militaries of the world, and…

I sometimes think that those of us who teach and write about personal defense don’t spend enough time talking about avoidance. After all, we never saw John Wayne or Clint Eastwood back down from trouble, so why should we? But maybe we should gently remind ourselves that this is fiction, and reality is just a whole lot different. It might be a good idea to go to look up an old Bobby Bare song called “The Winner.” When violence is visited upon us, a whole lot of things can happen and most of them aren’t good. The possibility of sustaining…

It’s a rare sunny day in the Pacific Northwest, perfect for a long dog walk. Suddenly, Leo, my new husky-malamute mix, takes off at a full sprint. His leash slips taut in my hand as he darts straight toward the Columbia River. Before I can react, the bungee leash snaps with a sharp twang. I stumble forward, struggling to keep my footing. Unfazed, Leo charges ahead, diving headfirst into the water with a triumphant splash. Flash forward 3 years, and Leo is still crazy about water. It’s easy to get him to go for a swim. But, finding a life…

LIFT Airborne Technologies, in collaboration with the Human Systems Program Office (AFLCMC/ROU), has successfully conducted over fifty-three (53) Performance Specification (P-Spec) environmental test events, windblast test events, and ejection sled test events on the AV2.2 NGFWH under the current Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contract. The AV2.2 NGFWH Slick Variant and the AV2.2 NGFWH equipped with the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) Modification Adapter Kit have undergone windblast testing at two seat angles: 17 degrees (representing aircraft such as the F-15, A-10, and F-22) and 32 degrees (representing the F-16). Testing at various speeds included 325 Knots Equivalent Airspeed (KEAS),…

The .380 ACP cartridge is no stranger to compact pocket pistols. It dates back to the year 1908 and has served as a standard caliber option for many blowback pistols. It’s not, however, typically a caliber that one thinks of when discussing snub-nosed carry revolvers, but that didn’t stop Charter Arms from launching the new Coyote .380 ACP snub-nosed revolver. This snub-nosed option is based on Charter Arms’ classic two-piece frame and clockwise-spinning cylinder, and its mission is to provide gun owners with a lightweight yet mild-recoiling defensive carry revolver.     Charter Arms Coyote .380 Revolver Overview  The Charter Arms Coyote…
