Pictures by Ali Crimson For the younger readers who didn’t grow up during one of the greatest decades, Aliens, directed by James Cameron, was released in 1986. It was a direct sequel to Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979). Whereas Alien was more of a horror film set on a starship, Aliens was an action movie. Intended by Cameron to be an allegory for the Vietnam War, Aliens’ story included the Colonial Marines, who are heavily armed with advanced weaponry. Despite their firepower advantages, the Colonial Marines struggle and lose in combat against the titular aliens due to poor leadership, corporate subterfuge,…
The countries the world counts on to cover a fuel shortage just stopped selling. On Thursday, China’s refiners halted exports of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to everywhere except Hong Kong and Macau, and Beijing gave no date for when they can start again. PetroChina, the country’s biggest state oil company, had already cancelled most of the cargoes it planned to ship in October. The day before, Russia extended its ban on diesel exports through October 31.That leaves almost nobody with spare fuel to sell. The Iran war has choked off most traffic through the Strait of Hormuz since late…

Photos by Sight Picture Media STAFF NOTE: We recently interviewed John Hearne in-person on the RECOILtv podcast. John gave us his perspectives on crime statistics, criminal mindset, and what personality types make the most violent actors. The last decade has seen a veritable explosion of firearms and tactical instructors. While these skills are no doubt vital to possessing a well-rounded survival repertoire, the underlying historical and psycho-emotional factors of interpersonal violence are rarely discussed — let alone trained — by most of our favorite instructors. These issues are far less entertaining to talk about, and require far more effort to…
The Heat Guard Can Case is large enough to handle a full-sized rifle suppressor, like this Banish 30.With Federal’s Heat Guard Can Case, you can handle and stow a hot suppressor without waiting for it to cool off.There you are at the end of a fun day shooting. You need to pack up, but your suppressor is smokin’ hot. If you don’t do something about it, it will burn you or melt your gun case or other gear if you aren’t careful. Who among us, as brand-new suppressor owners, hasn’t gotten a blister or two or have a melted gun…

What happens when you mount a premium suppressor to a basic rifle? I put a Sig Sauer HEXIUM on an AK to find out. As a gun writer with a predilection for outdated firearms, sometimes I find myself a bit out of my element. Case in point, Sig Sauer recently sent me one of its new HEXIUM762 suppressors to test out, and I didn’t really have an appropriate host for it in my gun safe. HEXIUM suppressors are state-of-the-art, 3D-printed, low-backpressure cans that really belong on a modern carbine. Something like a Sig MCX. But I don’t have one of…
We take a closer look at Vortex Optics’ high-end Razor HD Gen III riflescope line.I’ve had a ton of time in the field and range with a slew of world-class optics from a host of great companies. What follows here is a compilation of what I believe are some of the best optics not just from Vortex, but also in the broader field of optics. While nearly everyone has a certain loyalty to a given brand, perhaps handed down from generation to generation (Dad had a Ford or Ram, you know the gist), I have the benefit of being able…

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott declared a statewide disaster Monday over diesel prices. In the same stretch, at least 16 trucking companies landed in bankruptcy court, Iowa farmers started saying out loud that they might lose family farms, and on Tuesday the Conference Board reported that Americans’ confidence in the economy fell to its lowest level since 2014.Any one of those would be a bad news day. Together they tell one story. The fuel shock from the Iran war has moved off the gas station sign and into the businesses that move food and pay people. Freight, farms, used cars, credit…
