This video is an oldie but a goodie. Remember everyone, your forward assist is to push your bolt carrier forward, not muscling a round into the chamber.
The above photo is of the rumored M&P 9 “Shield” from Smith & Wesson. From what we can see in the picture the new Shield has no rails, a different style safety and a different trigger. It is also rumored to be single stack so it’s probably safe to assume it will be slimmer than other M&P pistols.

Magpul is the hottest AR accessory maker around, so it’s no surprise that they’ll have imitators. The FirearmBlog posted about these German PMAG knock offs from Oberland Arms. Talk about blatant.
Based off the iconic Mossberg 500 platform, the Mossberg 500 Chainsaw is a pistol-grip pump-action shotgun without a stock that features a wrap-around chainsaw-style hand grip incorporated into the forend. With the support hand above the barrel, counter force levels the muzzle as it kicks simultaneously cycling the action. It takes some time getting the hang of firing the Mossberg 500 Chainsaw as you’re essentially just firing from the hip and you’ll probably miss the first few times. However the chainsaw-style grip does a really good job at keeping muzzle flip under control.
Looks like the Russians were also experimenting with bullpups during the Cold War. Pretty interesting looking rifles, the one in the bottom right with the giant “banana clip” is pretty crazy looking.

There is also the Mirror Sight from X-Caliber Tactical that also has a dual aperture sight built-in when not using the mirror, check it out in action below.
