With this in mind, we examinated the Drake Production centerfire sports pistol from the manufacturer's flagship series.

It can certainly be described as a historic event in the international shooting sports world: the first IPSC World Shoot for Pistol Caliber Carbines and Mini Rifles. Top international shooters from 51 nations competed against each other in Znojmo, Czech Republic. Many participants used ammunition from the official match ammunition supplier GECO. We tell you more about the event and the ammunition …

One of the manufacturers of such scout rifles is the US company Ruger. We have taken a closer look at their interpretation of the concept in .308 Winchester.

The Gunshot Box is a valuable sound effect add-on compatible with the Laser Ammo training system, specifically aimed at the professional market: as it literally says on the tin, it is a portable gunshot generator, simulating the loud report of a firearm discharge, using a powerful electrical spark. The Gunshot Box can be controlled with Laser Ammo-compatible training gun replicas, a handheld …

This civilised version of a weapon conceived and (possibly) produced in Russia as an "apocalypse gun" is actually built on the basis of a Romanian replica. This is the Gepard proposed by the US company Stuff and Things, a true "melting pot" that would not look out of place in a video game or in a post-atomic TV show.
