Looking to set up your MP5 for use with NODs? Take a look at Midwest Industries’ Night Vision Optic Claw Mount.The MP5 is a legendary platform that, while pushing 60-years-old, is not going away any time soon. With the proliferation of good-quality MP5 clones on the market, new life has been given to this grand-daddy pistol caliber carbine. While age and experience count for a lot, it doesn’t improve basic mounting options. Like the AK, the MP5 suffers from the fact that it was built before optics were really a viable option, and the design doesn’t inherently lend itself well to…

In 1973, CIA Director Richard Helms ordered the destruction of every file related to a program called MK-ULTRA. Boxes of documents were hauled out of storage and shredded. His main goal was to make sure nobody could ever prove what had been done. It almost worked. Four years later, a Freedom of Information Act request turned up roughly 20,000 documents that had been misfiled in the wrong archive and missed during the purge. Those surviving pages are the reason we know about MK-ULTRA at all. What they describe is one of the most disturbing government programs in American history. Between…
Following any criminal incident involving a gun, we all expect the so-called “mainstream” media to call for more restrictions on lawful gun owners. After all, that’s all they know how to do, even if the violent criminal in the report had to jump through many hoops to acquire his or her guns. What you might not expect, however, is a rant as ridiculous and illogical as the one published by the New York Post following the April 25 shooting attack on the Trump Administration at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner attended by President Donald Trump, the first lady, and…

When Barnes Bullets announced they were jumping into the 6mm ARC game with factory ammunition, I’ll admit I got more than a little excited. Barnes has been making some of the best hunting bullets on the planet for decades, but it’s been slower than other manufacturers to embrace newer cartridges. Their solid copper bullets have a well-deserved reputation for deep penetration, reliable expansion, and impressive accuracy. So when they finally released two factory loads for the 6mm ARC—the VOR-TX 90 grain TAC-TX and the Harvest 100 grain GameKing—I knew I had to put them through their paces. My test platform…
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth deflected questions from Congress Wednesday on the future of the Iran war and attacked lawmakers who questioned the conflict’s purpose and goals, calling them “reckless, feckless and defeatist.” A hearing on the Pentagon’s $1.45 trillion budget request for fiscal 2027 became a hotly contested debate on Iran, with House Armed Services Committee members asking how long the secretary expected the operation to last and Hegseth bristling at those who questioned the administration’s decision to go to war. Committee members praised the work of the U.S. service members currently deployed to the Middle East, but they also…
This article was originally published by Zoey Sky at Natural News. The U.S. Embassy in Beirut has issued its highest-level advisory (“Level 4: Do Not Travel”) and is telling all American citizens to leave Lebanon immediately while commercial flights are still available. The embassy warns that the security situation is getting worse fast and that neither the U.S. nor the Lebanese government can guarantee their safety if violence breaks out in the country. The warning comes as the Middle East is engulfed in violence. Hezbollah is threatening to join the war against Israel, Syria is firing missiles, and Iran is…
The firearms industry is currently navigating a period of significant skepticism. For decades, the professional community has rightly prioritized mechanical reliability above all else: the absolute certainty that a tool will cycle when the trigger is pressed. While the “smart gun” niche has long promised enhanced home safety, it has historically failed by prioritizing silicon over steel. The strategic challenge hasn’t been the technology itself, but the integration of that technology without compromising the foundational integrity of the weapon. That’s where the Lodestar LNK9 comes in, and it’s honestly a game-changer in a good way. The Evolution of Personal Protection…
