Gun Digest: .223 vs 5.56

From Gun Digest:

To a whole lot of shooters, ammo is ammo—if it fits, it shoots. These shooters tend to be the guys with seriously tired, worn, or even busted firearms. They also tend to focus on the wrong thing; you know, the guy who scrubs the brass marks off his ejector lump, at least until one day his rifle stops working or breaks into many pieces.

Turkey’s Challenge and the Syrian Negotiation

Turkey’s Challenge and the Syrian Negotiation is republished with permission of Stratfor.”

By Reva Bhalla
Vice President of Global Affairs

Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zubi harshly criticized the Turkish government early last week over Ankara’s proposal that an interim government succeed the al Assad regime, saying that “Turkey isn’t the Ottoman Sultanate; the Turkish Foreign Ministry doesn’t name custodians in Damascus, Mecca, Cairo and Jerusalem.” Being the spokesman for a pariah regime requires a mastery of propaganda. Al-Zubi has not disappointed in this regard, mounting a strong rhetorical offensive against Syria’s powerful northern neighbor.

Urban Surival Pack

Monderno has an extensive rundown of what you need to have with you everyday to survive an urban disaster.

The best way to be prepared for most people is going to be to build an Urban EDC Kit, sometimes called an Urban Survival Kit (USK). The reason we won’t focus as much on the survival aspect of the kit is because in your vehicle you should have a 72 hour survival kit, which is of course built to keep you alive for a minimum of 72 hours. If a disaster were to strike while you are at the office, odds are pretty high that you will at least be able to stop by your vehicle if you need to, even if you can’t get in and drive home.
