What Is An AK Pistol?

An AK Pistol is a pistol that's an AK. That doesn't really answer your question though, does it? AK Pistols exist because of the National Firearms Act. The NFA restricts what a firearm can be, and defines it arbitrarily. To be a standard rifle, a firearm must have a 16-inch barrel and a stock. A firearm with a barrel shorter than 16 inches and stock is a short-barreled rifle and subject to the full force of the National Firearms Act. If you want an AK with a shorter barrel and do not want to deal with the NFA, then an AK pistol is your only option.

AR-15 Barrel Lengths Explained

The AR-15 is a fascinating rifle. Not just its long history of service, or the fact that it's America's favorite rifle, but also from an engineering perspective. The rifle is incredibly modular, and you can pick and choose parts like no other weapon out there. One major change you can make is with the barrel length. There are a wide variety of barrel lengths you can use for your gun, so we've broken them down here.

.223 Vs 5.56 - What's the Difference In These Calibers?

The big wide world of ammo can often be a confusing one. There are eight different 9mm rounds on the market, and none are interchangeable. The 223 and 5.56 rounds are even more confusing, because they are the same, right? Well, no, but kind of? The 223 vs. 5.56 debate has been going on for a long time, but let's put it to bed here.

The

The AK-47 VS The AK-74

The most significant difference between these two guns is simply the caliber. The old AK-47 is chambered in the venerable and near universal 7.62 x 39mm. The AK-74, meanwhile, is chambered in the 5.45 x 39mm. The name difference is an unintentional palindrome, as these numbers represent the year the gun was more or less adopted. Clearly, the 1974 designed AK-74 is a little newer than the post-WW2 AK-47.

What Are Tactical Pens?

Sometimes with self defense you may need something other than a firearm. With the exception of law enforcement, military, or working for a firearm company, not many jobs will allow you to carry a gun to work. Despite this, there are many circumstances that can lead to a self-defense situation. Simply leaving work to go to the parking lot or use public transportation could be risky. Don't you think it could happen to you too?

Rifle Iron Sights

In a time where we seem to be going back "to the good old ways" during this pandemic, I thought about my older semiautomatic rifle that was gifted to me. It's nothing fancy, as a matter of fact, it's kinda plain, or even a little ugly. Sorry, I got lost in the nostalgia, but it got me thinking about my rifle. It has iron sights, which are pretty primitive compared to today's selection, but the bottom line is, they work!
