Ammo Spotlight: 5.56x45mm NATO Ammunition

There is no such thing as a NATO bullet per se. It is not a unique caliber or different powder load, and it is not made to fit a "NATO" rifle. NATO came together as an alliance and chose to select a set of standards that allowed the armed forces of the countries represented in NATO to function as one force. Of the sets of standards, one of the most important decisions made was in the selection of ammunition that could be transitional for "one force".

Should

Should You Daily Carry A Surplus Pistol?

Even though I love surplus firearms and mil-surp, I feel that the name is a little misleading. Surplus sounds like old raggedy handguns or rifles filled with loose nuts and bolts that you are going to have to work on or rebuild. That is so far from the truth though!

Even though my answer may seem a little juvenile and even open-ended, I'm gonna say that a good definition for what an AR-15 magazine is will be any magazine that fits into an AR-15 lower receiver.

AR-15 PDW. What Does The PDW Mean?

So, the short answer to what the PDW in an AR-15 PDW means is that it's an AR-15 personal defense weapon. The theory of human evolution says that there is a missing link between a caveman and a modern man.

AK-47 Draco - What Is A Draco?

Latin for serpent or dragon, the Draco was clearly inspired by the AK-47 rifle. The Romanian design keeps the 7.62x39mm caliber rifle cartridge used in AK rifles but with an engineered crisp and ultra-compact design that still provides the low-recoil, easy control, and most importantly the power of the popular rifle round.

What Are the Best 300 Blackout Rifles?

The 300 Blackout is a revolutionary round that is rather new in the world of bullets and cartridges. It was designed for AR-15 rifles and will work with 5.56 bolts, magazines, uppers, and lowers, and the only real change is a different barrel. The 300 Blackout has a few claims to fame. First, it's easy to suppress because it can use subsonic rounds. Second, it's versatile because it can reliably fire both supersonic and subsonic loads that allow shooters to switch at will. Lastly, the cartridge can work from a superbly short barrel.
