Whether you have an AR-15 rifle, AK-47, carbine pistol, pistol caliber carbine (PCC), or Personal Defense Weapon (PDW), you may want to put a sling on it.

That means whenever the trigger is pulled, there is a small explosion that takes place when the firing pin strikes the primer of the cartridge, and the gases send the round through the barrel to its target. The gases go down the barrel until they get to the gas block…
When shopping for a handgun, you may wonder if you should get a hammer-fired or striker-fired pistol. First, let’s talk about the similarities and differences. Both hammer-fired and striker-fired handguns are under spring tension but have different firing methods. A hammer-fired handgun has an external “hammer” that is under spring tension at the back of the gun that strikes the firing pin. When it’s cocked, the hammer comes back. When the trigger is pulled and the hammer comes forward, it hits the firing pin causing an explosion with the gases forcing the bullet out of the barrel. There is an…
