The facelifted 2026 Land Rover Defender 110 is, undoubtedly, a very cool SUV. It manages the classic Land Rover trick of being both incredibly capable off-road and also very nice to drive around town. People lament the death of the old Land Rover Defender (some so much they started a car company about it), but nostalgia is overrated. The L663 Defender (as the current generation of Defender is known internally at Land Rover and to Land Rover nerds) looks super-rugged while remaining a modern luxury vehicle. Is it luxurious enough to justify asking prices that can very easily crest six…

Suppressors have become one of the fastest-growing segments of the firearms industry. Along with protecting hearing and reducing muzzle blast, they make shooting more enjoyable. They also introduce a challenge every suppressed AR owner eventually experiences: gas blowback. Hot gas, carbon and debris have to escape somewhere. On a direct impingement AR-15, some of that gas makes its way back toward the charging handle, creating an unpleasant blast to the shooter’s face. Adjustable gas blocks, buffer tuning and flow-through suppressors can all help, but one of the simplest upgrades is often overlooked. That’s where Breek Arms’ Sledgehammer AR-15 Gas Busting…

By Peter Suciu Posted in #Guns #History What we are discussing here today is a rare military and police firearm that dates back to a time when Poland was behind the Iron Curtain. As a result, it was rarely seen in the United States during the Cold War, yet it still managed to earn a level of infamy as it was a sidearm of choice of East Germany’s Volkspolizei and Stasi. Development of the select-fire pistol began in the late 1950’s when the concept was first proposed at the Warsaw University of Technology in response to calls…

The best hunting pants are not just about the camo. A great pair of hunting pants matches the environment in which you choose to pursue wild game. Every hunt has different demands. Terrain, weather, activity level, and the game itself all come into play when selecting your next pair. During the last hunting season, GearJunkie contributors Morgan Nowels and Sean McCoy worked to expand this guide by testing six sets of hunting pants to see how they stacked up against time-tested favorites. After chasing whitetail deer in Tennessee and Oklahoma, elk in Colorado, coyotes in Wyoming, and upland birds in…

Sydney, Australia – 10 August 2026 – DroneShield (ASX:DRO), a global leader in advanced counter-drone (CUAS) technology, today announced the launch of its latest flagship product, the RfRecon, a portable RF intelligence solution designed to help defence, government, and security organisations better understand the electromagnetic environment wherever operations occur.  Built on DroneShield’s recently launched proprietary RfAI-3 intelligence architecture, RfRecon enables operators to rapidly sense, identify, locate, and assess RF activity from a single device.

We take a quick look at 6mm Remington, aka .244 Remington, a true middle-weight heavy hitter of a cartridge.The 6mm Remington has exactly the same case dimensions as the .244 Remington. They differ only in the fact that the 6mm Remington is loaded with bullets of up to 100 grains, whereas the .244 Remington was never loaded with bullets of more than 90 grains. Ammunition marked .244 Remington can be fired in 6mm Remington chambers and vice versa. However, rifles marked .244 Remington will not always stabilize the 100-grain bullet. The difference between the two is that .244 rifles (if…

On July 30, an avalanche swept down Pakistan’s Broad Peak, killing 10 climbers trying to ascend the world’s 12th-highest mountain. It’s the deadliest alpine disaster in more than a decade, and several bodies have still not been recovered from the mountain, which remains highly volatile. Multiple expedition teams were on the mountain at the time of the avalanche, and they included some well-known climbers. Among them was legendary mountaineer and Elite Exped leader Nirmal “Nims” Purja, as well as other climbers like Wang Zhong of China, Mallory Geis of the U.S., and Nadhira Ahmed Abdullah Al Harthy of Oman. However,…
