I know, I know, you are ashamed of me for sitting on this for a little while now. Yes, the rumors are true. We have had a Kriss Vector in our armory for almost two weeks now, and I have yet to say a single thing about it! Don’t hate us for it, we just wanted to go about this very very carefully. We have handled, manipulated, and now test fired the Kriss Vector in the Arizona, desert, in the wild forests of Missouri, and in the swamps of Missouri, and now I am finally ready to talk about it.

Akdal in Arizona

I want to thank Matt for bringing the Akdal MKAA 1919 to Arizona for the Brumal Tactical Carbine class that was held here on May 11th and 12th.
I had the pleasure of being among the few who fired this amazing looking and great fealing tool. When Matt asked me if I would like to see the prototype of this shotgun he had in his car of course being an avid bird hunter I could not resist. Read the rest of this entry »
The Next Volley

I just finished putting another five round magazine through it and using the ten round magazine for the first time. Due to failures with my Tachyon camera I still couldn’t get some POV film, however I had my wife stand behind me and film using my cell phone. It’s not the greatest quality film in the world, however it does get the point across.
The shotgun had the same failures as before with the Federal Ammunition shot shells. I guess all that I can say about this is to not use inexpensive rounds in this shotgun. The Akdal MKA 1919 tactical model is a high performance shotgun and needs high performance fuel to run.
This next run of rounds proved some of the same findings that I had yesterday. The recoil is incredibly manageable, and the weapon itself is very easy to control. Shooting the Akdal MKA 1919 is still an incredible pleasure. I really cannot wait to get some better ammunition that will fuel this beast to the point where I can shoot it uninterrupted by jams and misfeeds.
I have not reproduced the slam fire that I had yesterday. I was going to attempt it today, however there were too many people around to attempt it safely.

I just got done firing the first six rounds through this bad Johnson. I have very mixed feelings about my experience. Some of these feelings are strong concerns and others are happy and exciting. Firing the Akdal MKA 1919 was very fun, to say the least. Read the rest of this entry »

Paracord. We have all heard of it, and it’s the source of many myths, legends, and broken dreams and saved lives. Some say that with paracord and 100MPH (duct) tape you can achieve anything. Some say that with paracord you could hold an old truck together until the truck rusted away. Putting aside the mythical properties of the beloved cord, it is absolutely a necessity in any go bag or every day carry bag. Read the rest of this entry »
