Marksmanship In Across Cultures
From Kulak:
The Taliban it seems are really bad shots. Of the 93 enemy sniper ops included in the Afghanistan data set 67 resulted in no Casualties at all, the insurgents or Taliban simply rode up on a motorcycle to some range, fired 1 or 2 shots that missed, and rode away. Of the remaining 26, 6 resulted in only enemy casualties, with the remaining 20 being something of a mess of friendly wounded and enemy casualties, in only one incident is a coalition fighter, a member of the 1st Royal Anglian, killed by sniper fire, and in two incidents are Friendly host nation forces killed, only one of which looks like a traditional sniper attack (the other is a messy assault that really stretches the definition).
Holosun Introduces Night Vision and Thermal Sights
From Guns.com:
The MRS line of optics is really where Holosun is making waves in the community, setting themselves apart. Starting off, the MRS TH is a digital thermal optic that can record, zoom from 1-8x, change the intensity of the screen, and change the color of the thermal (white hot, black hot, etc.)
The MRS NV is the night vision version of the rifle optic, offering the same features as the thermal. The NV also includes an IR illuminator on the side of the optic.
Gun Ban Introduced Again
From Guns.com:
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the 89-year-old California Democrat on her sixth controversial term in office, introduced the proposed new federal Assault Weapon Ban this week. The 126-page measure would ban the sale, transfer, manufacture, and importation of “military-style assault weapons” and “high-capacity magazines and other high-capacity ammunition feeding devices.”
Detailed Breakdown Of ATF’s Brace Ruling
From Enbloc Press:
The new rule will change how the legality of brace-equipped firearms is decided. The change will go into effect as soon as 08F is entered into the federal register, and, once law, affected gun owners will have 120 days to register their newly reclassified brace-equipped weapons as short barreled rifles (SBRs) or to modify, surrender, or destroy their firearms (lol. lmao, even).

From Ammoland:
The ultimate straight-wall cartridge, 360 Buckhammer will be available to hunters nationwide with lever action and single-shot rifles available from launch partner Henry Repeating Arms. The new ammunition will be initially available in two new Core-Lokt loads, with more ammunition options to follow.

Women Only Sniper School
From Ammoland:
A Girl & A Gun welcomed 12 women who traveled to Grand Junction, CO, for the inaugural Sniper School event. Comprising riflecraft and fieldcraft instruction blocks, AG & AG Sniper School utilized several areas of the Cameo Shooting and Education Complex that served as the perfect backdrop for learning internal and external ballistics, wind, mirage, concealment, movement, angles, and more. Sniper/spotter teams engaged targets up to and beyond 2,000 yards in the mountainous desert terrain.
Senator Lankford Introduces Pistol Brace Protection Act
From Bearing Arms:
Senator James Lankford (R-OK) is standing up for Oklahomans’ Second Amendment right to own and use pistol braces without burdensome regulation, registration, and taxation. Last week, Lankford introduced the Pistol Brace Protection Act. Lankford’s bill would gut an upcoming final rule by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) by exempting pistol braces from regulation under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The bill eliminates subjective standards that exist in federal law that have allowed ATF to reclassify firearms under the NFA, and guarantees that law-abiding gun owners will not have to register, destroy, or surrender their pistol brace.
New York Times Admits “assault weapon” Was A Persuasion Tactic
From Bearing Arms:
In a stunning op-ed released Friday, the NY Times finally admitted that “assault weapons” are a made-up political term fabricated by anti-gun Democrats.
Op-ed writer Lois Beckett also admitted that once the term was manufactured and used to outlaw a class of weapons that dishonest anti-gun Democrats had used to con an entire nation, nothing happened.
ABC Reports Facts On AR-15s
From Bearing Arms:
While semi-automatic rifles such as the AR-15 are a major flashpoint in the gun control debate and are often the focus of attention following mass shootings, there are only about 20 million assault rifles in the United States, a fraction of the estimated 400 million guns in the country. Instead, according to ABC News contributor and former FBI agent Brad Garrett, handguns account for the most gun murders in the U.S.
