I’ve been watching Alton Brown on The Food Network for years, and when I saw him tweet about his day at the range today I was pretty surprised. Apparently he’s also a pilot and motorcycle enthusiast. I knew there was a reason I liked this guy. Don’t believe me? Check out his tweet today, or his Facebook fan page.

Guns going kaboom while shooting (a.k.a. a catastrophic failure) is never fun. We’ve seen AR-15s go kaboom, M16s, and even an ACR. The picture above of a revolver blowing up probably takes the cake. We’re not sure exactly how it happened, apparently these images have made their rounds around the internet before. It looks like the cartridge was overpressured.

I love watching Mythbusters, especially when they do a segment that has to do with guns! (check out Kari with a .50BMG) I’ve always wondered if any of their mythbusting attempts have ever ended in disaster, well it looks like one of them did.
This past Tuesday while filming a new episode at a bomb range in Dublin, CA the cannonball they fired missed its mark and soared 700 yards straight into a house and a minivan. Luckily no one was hurt, I wonder what myth they were trying to bust?

Calguns.net member defcon put together his own version of the UMP submachine gun based off of the popular Marlin 795 .22lr rifle.

The 300 Blackout seems to be the hot new round right now, well AR-15 maker Core 15 just entered their hat into the growing 300 Blackout ring with their new line of uppers. They’ve released three new options, their TAC SBR 300, TAC V.2 300 and MOE 300.

Colt Defense’s latest AR-15 rifle, dubbed the LE6920MP, outfitted from the factory with Magpul MOE accessories. It comes with a MOE vertical grip, MOE hand gaurd, MOE-K hand grip, MOE trigger gaurd, MOE stock, MBUS rear sight and two 30-round PMAGS. They’ll be available in either black, flat dark earth and olive drab.
