By the standards of the day they did well. No law enforcement carried rifles at the time and having shotguns was a plus. SWAT was in its infancy as was tactical training for anyone. More than half the agents carried revolvers. Weapons were lost in car crashes and one pistol was destroyed after...

The Marines also had two Cobras and an H46 get shot down by AA. Pretty hostile environment for helicopters. Casualties for the Cubans and other belligerent forces was considerably higher than 5 KIA.

What could possibly go wrong with a cloned apex predator weighing 175 pounds?

I saw a guy holster a Glock and have it fire in the process. The bullet went into the ground about an inch from his right foot. Turns out he was wearing a windbreaker and the drawstring had gotten into his trigger guard during the holstering process. If he’d been using the appendix carry mode...

I didn’t ax for this…

Odd how Tesla was the star of the leftist world for producing electric cars but now he is reviled for supporting Trump…

Just bought a 200 pack of Federal 45 auto 230 grain ammo. To my surprise I found they are loaded with small pistol primers. I’m sure they will fire and function ok but I sure don’t want to mix them with normal 45 brass for reloading. I’d never have bought them if I’d known that! Couldn’t find...

I was hoping they would come out with a 9mm commander size TRP with an aluminum frame…
