Rara Avis: The Elysien Eagle Is The Concept Car of Handguns

Tactical

Photos by Iain Harrison and Muneki Samejina Concept cars push the boundaries of design and engineering. In the early days of the automotive industry, automakers used concept cars to generate attention. These were the days before internet marketing, so companies had to take a more hands-on approach with gauging public opinion.  This was a good way for carmakers to show what they could do and get ahead of the competition. Today, concept cars are still used to showcase what designers and engineers can accomplish when they put their minds to it. These cars contrast the practical-minded commonplace and offer a…

Review: Leupold VX-5HD Gen 2 3-15x44mm

American Self-Propelled Artillery in World War II

Guns

American self-propelled artillery in World War II transformed how the United States Army delivered firepower on the battlefield. These tracked vehicles combined mobility with devastating howitzers and guns, keeping pace with advancing armor divisions in ways towed artillery never could. From the M7 Priest’s 105mm howitzer to the massive M43’s 8-inch gun, these weapons shaped combat operations across North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific. An M7 Priest supports American soldiers advancing on Japanese positions during combat on Leyte Island. Image: NARA The story starts with improvisation. When Germany blitzed through France in 1940, American planners saw they needed artillery that could…
