The Most Alien Pistol in the World
The Laugo Alien is a strange pistol that has fascinated me for years. I operates on a piston system, has a fixed barrel, and a trigger that'll rival the best 1911's. But......is it good?

I Can't Get an HK 416...So I Did This
Science tells us that men want an HK 416. But in the absence of being able to get one, you can get pretty darn close with an MR556 and a little bit of effort.
