The things I can’t afford.

Posted on March 21, 2013 by Oleg Volk

In my entire adult life, I couldn’t afford broadcast television. Not the set itself, but the time required to watch it. Now I find that computer games are prohibitively expensive. A business colleague gifted me a disk with the sequel … Continue reading →

Comblock guns

Posted on January 25, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Back in the 1980s and 90s, comblock guns referred to weapons produced in the Warsaw Pact countries and China. Given the changes in our world since, we may soon be able to apply that term to Armalite rifles produced in … Continue reading →

Kathy Jackson with a cornered cat.

Posted on October 25, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Gremlin with Kathy Jackson of the Cornered Cat fame. While she’s a great writer and a highly regarded self-defense trainer, I get an impression that the furbie appreciates her more for being cuddly. So sexist!

Эволюция слов за двадцать лет.

Posted on October 3, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Интересно, сколько уже лет слово “мыльница” значит преимущественно “компактный цифровой фотоаппарат”? Термин “цифро-мыльница” уже не употребляется (плёночные вышли из обращения), а сами мыльницы для мыла вроде тоже канули в лету. Кто теперь ими пользуется кроме диких туристов… А с распространением … Continue reading →

Ever wondered where all those Keltec rifles end up?

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Oleg Volk

The zombies are hoarding them for the apocalypse. Preferred caliber is 300Blackout, of course. When the night of the living dead comes, they won’t have to stumble around hoping to snag a slow human. Why try to catch the brain … Continue reading →

Ways to relax

Posted on August 16, 2012 by Oleg Volk

One of my friends recently wrote about her reaction to the news: “I’d take up flower-arranging to try and calm down, but I’d probably just wind up turning out lovely arrangements of dead roses and barbed wire…” I suspect that … Continue reading →

The reason for Desert Eagle grips size

Posted on August 14, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Ever wondered who has hands big enough to shoot Desert Eagles comfortably? I bet he carries enough of them to do New York reloads…or at least his book characters could.

Have you ever wondered what “SSG” means?

Posted on July 18, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Steyr SSG08 isn’t pretty. Like PKM and RPG7 it’s what you haul out when utility trumps aesthetics. 12-42x Nightforce scope might be a bit much for it, but it does help to see the whites of their eyes at very … Continue reading →
