Guns

The Arizona sun does not negotiate. By mid-morning at ParaBellum Shooting and Tactical Training Academy, the range was already pushing into the 90s, the mirage was already starting to run hard across the lanes, and the big rattlesnake sculpture that marks the firing line was catching the morning sun.Somewhere out past the 1,000-yard line, a steel plate was waiting to either prove or embarrass me.

Guns

Striking enemy ships with airborne munitions became a priority after World War I. While the challenges were monumental at the time, the rewards for success were too great to pass up.
