The Brief: A peaceful family gathering in Leesburg, Georgia, turned violent when an armed individual wearing body armor opened fire on a group of children and elderly relatives. The attacker initially targeted the family with racial slurs before returning with a rifle to initiate an active shooting. A Marine veteran attending the reunion stopped the assault by returning fire with a personal handgun, neutralizing the suspect. Deputies arrested the gunman, who now faces aggravated assault charges.

Private Dwayne Hicks sat in an expansive classroom alongside the rest of his platoon of newly minted boots. Each Marine had a well-used Pulse Rifle sitting on the table in front of them. The weapons were clean enough to be used as surgical implements and smelled vaguely of CLP. The Armat Battlefield Systems M41A Pulse Rifle is the standard-issue combat weapon for the United States Colonial Marines in the Aliens universe. Gunnery Sergeant Mike “Madman” McGehee stepped to the front of the class carrying his own Pulse Rifle as though it was something with which he had been born. Holding…

Photos by Kenda Lenseigne While the AR-15 has been subject to just about every modification imaginable, the quest for a belt-fed AR upper version took longer to come to fruition than anyone imagined. Way back in 1998, rumors started circulating of an AR upper that could be fed from either box magazines or M27 links, like the FN Minimi or its apple pie offspring, the M249 SAW. For anyone with an M16 lower, this would be an easy way to add a belt fed to the collection, and for those of us who had to content ourselves with semi-autos, well,…
These days, upgrading your AR-15 trigger is easy, but is it always a good idea?Back in the not-so-good old days, triggers for ARs were crappy.

Really, you have to ask?Triggers now come in two types and two flavors (I’m leaving out the forced-reset triggers because I’m not a fan): “packet” triggers and parts triggers.Plug and PressPacket triggers (sometimes called…

Positional shooting is typically associated with competition and tactical shooting. In fact, in my experience most hunters don’t think much about positional shooting or practice it regularly. Many hunters do little more than pull their rifle out of the safe and shoot five to 10 rounds from a bench or the prone position at 100 yards to check zero before they head out into the field in pursuit of game. From a seated stance on the slope, the author rests his rifle across an inverted frame pack to build a stable shooting platform. In my opinion, as sportsmen, we owe…
