There are more gun owners on a much wider spectrum of diversity than ever before, and this has inadvertently led to less tribal knowledge, less general understanding of technology and a “too…

HK MP5SD, Welrod pistol, De Lisle carbine, VSS Vintorez, High Standard HDM. These are some especially iconic firearms from years past. What do they all have in common? Yep, you got it — they’re all integrally suppressed guns that were designed with built-in suppressors. Standalone suppressors are much more common. They’re designed and rated for certain calibers, and you attach them to your firearm by threading them on to the end of your barrel or attaching them to a compatible muzzle device.

Images by Patrick McCarthy / Match Grade Media Designed by Victor Kalashnikov and Yevgeny Dragunov, both men, the sons of legendary Soviet firearms designers, the PP-19 Bizon was adopted by Russian forces in 1996. Sharing more than 60% parts compatibility with the AK-74, the PP-19 Bizon has long held American fascination entirely due to the strange helical magazine used to feed this Russian submachine. The design is surprisingly simple. Blowback operation, no gas system, no locking bolt, and classic AK controls. But the magazine is where the magic happens.

Long before YouTube explainers and emergency alert apps, Americans were taught how to survive nuclear war through government-produced films. (Yes, many view them today as propaganda—blending education with reassurance to maintain public morale amid escalating Cold War fears.)These weren’t fringe materials. They were shown in classrooms, community centers, factories, and living rooms. Millions of people—adults and children alike—were trained to respond to the unthinkable using calm voices, authoritative narration, and carefully controlled messaging.What makes these films worth revisiting today isn’t nostalgia.

Nuclear-armed battleships were designed to deliver devastating strikes against enemy forces and installations. The Mark 23 shells gave these WWII-era vessels a new lease on life as atomic weapons platforms. After the U.S. destruction of Nagasaki and Hiroshima through the development of nuclear…
