In 2011, a group of elite Navy SEALs inserted via stealth helicopters deep inside hostile territory to kill the most wanted terrorist on Planet Earth. They successfully accomplished this daring mission for the loss of a single aircraft. Friendly forces exfilled unharmed, and the world stood amazed. However, that didn’t just happen. Side-by-side, you can see how British engineers transformed the basic Sten design into a specialized weapon in the suppressed Sten Mk IIS (top) for the shadow warriors. Operation Neptune Spear, the mission to kill Osama bin…

Turkey has been the highest volume firearms importer to the United States for many years now, and given that their global military exports have more than doubled in the last five years, that isn’t something likely to change anytime soon. Because so many of these foreign-made guns have been, eh, “inexpensive at best” in the past, it can be easy for some to shrug off any gun out of Turkey. But Sarsilmaz isn’t a company making craptastic plastic mag-fed shotguns like so many others. First founded to make flintlocks in 1880 back in the Ottoman Empire days, Sarsilmaz is reportedly…

What’s your plan when the internet disappears and the lights don’t come back on?Cell networks are down. Internet’s gone. Nobody’s posting updates, and whatever happened last night has already overloaded the system. You don’t know if it’s a storm, a cyber issue, or something bigger — only that Google is useless and help isn’t a phone call away.If you are prepared, then hopefully you’re not left guessing.
