This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge.  Here are the most critical developments unfolding in the US-Iran conflict:  Iraq’s crude oil output is being significantly curtailed. An update from Iraq specifies a shutdown of 460,000 bpd at West Qurna 2 and a cut of 700,000 bpd at Rumaila, while warning that more than 3 million bpd could be forced offline in the coming days if tanker access remains limited. Export crude bottlenecks are developing across Iraq. Storage at southern export terminals is nearing critical capacity because tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has been paralyzed. Iraq…

Working in the firearms industry and reviewing shooting gear offers a front-row seat to the cutting edge of gun-related tech and trends. And while some categories, such as optics, chronographs and suppressors seem to advance in leaps and bounds, other products progress through an unassuming procession of modest refinement. New materials, enhanced ergonomics, and original combinations of pre-existing features and components denote new generations of long-trusted designs. For proof of my supposition, look no than the ubiquitous bolt-action rifle. The Model 2020 Waypoint in 7mm PRC offers hunters an all-around bolt-action rifle capable of handling a wide range of North…

The Schutzstaffel was a fascinating mob. Few organizations were more reviled during WWII than the feared SS. Universally feared on the battlefield while being justifiably vilified for their well-documented atrocities, Himmler’s black-clad storm troops were history’s original jack-booted thugs. The Bergmann MP35 represents a fascinating chapter in WWII small arms development. This German submachine gun combined old-world craftsmanship with some genuinely weird design choices. First-Person Impressions of the MP35 I had a friend who has since passed who landed on Omaha Beach at 1400 hours on 6 June 1944. He said that, by the time he hit the beaches, most…

We need to talk about stopping power because there’s a lot of garbage floating around. Misinformation that might get you hurt. Or worse, make you overconfident in your carry gun’s ability to end a fight instantly. Let me clear something up right now. Medical professionals experienced in evaluating gunshot wounds often cannot distinguish between wound paths from common handgun calibers during surgery or autopsy. That’s from the FBI’s own ballistic research. Not internet forum experts. Not gun shop commandos. Actual doctors. Training matters more than caliber debates. The best stopping power comes from putting rounds where they need to go,…
