I actually see this happen to a lot of guys too. Proper shooting stance will take a lot of the kick out of it however. Whenever I take someone new to shooting to the range I always let them fire off a few rounds from my Mossberg 590 just to see the look on their faces afterwards. The slow motion actually puts a lot of perspective on how powerful shotguns really are.
Remeber the Zombie X Chainsaw attachment we posted about back in January from the 2012 SHOT SHOW? Well we just got word that it is actually going into production and should be available for purchase shortly. The Zombie X Chainsaw was debuted at the Double Star booth at the 2012 SHOT Show, and due to the overwhelming interest it created the Zombie X Chainsaw will actually come to market.
The Zombie X Chainsaw was designed and fabricated by Bob Weir of Double Star. The new Zombie X Chainsaw will not be produced by Double Star however, instead it will be produced by Panacea X, a new firearms accessories maker formed to bring the Zombie X Chainsaw to market. Stay tuned for more news as we get it.

To some guns are just a tool, something used on to get the job done. And just like other tools, a few major tool makers have started to produce guns to round out their tool product lineup.
Or have they? Althought the DeWalt and Milwaukee AR-15 rifles above look pretty darn real, and cool, they’re actually made by a gun enthusiasts who probably also has a garage full of power tools. But how cool would it be to be able to buy guns at your local Sears or Lowes?

I’m not sure what some people’s obsession with double barrel firearms are. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of double-barreled shotguns, and historical double-barreled hunting rifles that actually served a real purpose. But stuff like the Arsenal Double Barrel 1911 just makes me wonder, is there really a market for such a gun?
Apparently there is, Israeli armsmaker Silver Show is said to have a double barrel AR-15 in the works that they will debut at the Eurosatory expo in Paris next month.
I’m more of a fan of triple-barreled guns myself.

Remember back in 2008 during and right after the elections? When it was pretty much impossible to find ammo and many popular firearms? It was a quest just to find any AR-15s or .223/5.56 in-stock anywhere. Well it looks like the run on guns and ammo is about to go into full swing again. 57Strat posted on AR15.com about the recent out of stock situations at many online retailers who sell AR-15 rifles and parts. On a similar note, it looks like the prices of .223 and 5.56 are on the rise again too.
I have never seen it this bad. Check out the “out of stock” situation on the below examples:
Bravo Company upper receivers. Out of stock on 10 out of 11 uppers: Link
Bravo Company complete uppers: link
LMT is 20 weeks backordered on their 16″ upper: Link
Most rifles at LMT are backordered up to 20 weeks: Link
Rainer Arms is “out of stock” on more than half of their complete upper models: Link
Noveske is “out of stock” on nearly every upper they offer: Link
Most complete uppers are “out of stock” at DSG Arms: Link
AIM “sold out” on uppers: Link
AIM “sold out” on complete upper: Link
This is just a few examples. If you check other sites you’ll find similar situations.
The GSG 1911-22 is fast becoming a very popular pistol because of its classic styling, affordable price tag and the even more affordable .22LR ammo. And like with all popular firearms, it’s starting to have an aftermarket following. CWAccessories.com is one of a few companies that’s started to produce accessories for the GSG 1911.
Strike Industries recently released their new MITCH Handguard for the AR-15. The budget friendly MITCH Handguard retails at just $32 and features mounting points for side Picatinny rail panels for accessories such as lights and lasers. The coolest feature of the MITCH Handguards is the lower handstop that’s integrated into the MITCH Handguard that can be shifted forward or back depending on the shooters preference.
