NEWS - AK47 firewood?
A man who had bought crates off the back of a lorry in Russia for firewood found they contained 79 Kalashnikov rifles and parts, Russian media report.

AIRSOFT - TRAINING
MadBull Airsoft from Taiwan has developed a conversion kit to convert a 'real steel' non-semi auto shotgun to fire airsoft 6mm BBs. The kit will allow the user to fire standard 6mm plastic BBs out of a real shotgun and is powered by C02 gas.
It is a slightly strange concept in my opinion but a possible viable training tool for those who wants to use the same platform for training and in their work. Cost effective considering you only need 1 shotgun and the kit rather than 2 shotguns set up exactly the same. Also bbs and C02 costs are cheap in comparison to training rounds so you might be able to get in more training and range time.

LIVE FIRE - NEW products from CAA tactical
Firstly the M4S1.
Polymer modular AR fore ends have been very popular with brands like Magpul and Tapco doing their own versions and now CAA tactical have released their version. Just like the other brands the M4S1 is a direct rail cover replacement for a carbine length M4 or AR and offers greater heat dissipation, better ergonomics and rail modulability for mounting lights, lasers and grips specific to the operators preference.
Secondly, the XF16 quad picatinny rails system.
In the age where more and more tech, lights, etc are being released and used by shooters and operators, rail space or rail estate is becoming more and more valuble. This ingenious XF16 allows you to add rail space as and when you need it with easy installation and no gunsmithing. This extra rail also allows for forward type grips (Modern Isosceles Stance) for recoil management.

LIVE FIRE - SIG SAUER ACP pistol platform
I have always been a great fan or pistol carbine kits like the HERA arms kits, the KPOS and the CAA RONI kit. This new kit looks like it a kit designed from lessons learned from all the past kits. It is light, versatile, modular, tough and user friendly. Very clever and serious at the same time... a real testament to the brand of SIG SAUER.
