Posted on April 27, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Есть женщины в русской пехотеИх снайперами зовутВрага в перекрестье загонятИ за пол-версты попадутИной их не сразу заметит,Когда в камуфляже ониИ с пулей в башке он закончитСвои беспокойные дни А если их словом обидеть, невежливостью оскорбитьТо лучше бы некультурному на свете … Continue reading →

SSG69 PIV, police variant

Posted on April 16, 2013 by Oleg Volk

This illustrates the utility of short, handy PIV variant. With the scope set at 3.5x, off-hand snapshots are possible. That would be rather harder with the longer bull barrels typical of longer military sniper rifles. At typical police sniper ranges under … Continue reading →

Posted on March 27, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Effective range of a 9×19 carbine.

Posted on February 7, 2013 by Oleg Volk

This is Sarah. She is 15 and left-handed, so a light 9mm carbine with left-hand ejection is a reasonable long gun for her. The carbine is topped with a 3x scope zeroed at 50 yards. With this being the reticle, … Continue reading →

Banning safety features

Posted on February 5, 2013 by Oleg Volk

The scary-looking carbine above is a semi-auto 9mm, one of the weakest centerfire rounds ever used in a long gun. But the “shoulder thingy that goes up” makes it scary. The ignorant Carolyn McCarthy wants it banned. Feinstein’s new gun … Continue reading →

Sterling type 2 semi-auto carbine

Posted on August 31, 2012 by Oleg Volk

This is one of the few semi-auto arms I like as much as the select-fire original. It’s longer barrel (16″ vs. 10″) gives it a longer sight radius, and the two-flip aperture is more familiar than the quaint diffusion disk … Continue reading →
