Maybe Blind Hary will write about it?

Sorry. In my mind, Fireams News (the old Shotgun News) is a mainstream publication. You guys are makin me feel old. My fascination with the Piat has a lot to do with it's ability to inflict...

You didn't know where it was going. What good is knowing things and not being able to share them with others that really have an interest? Just relax in the knowledge that they may end up with the...

Great ammo website JB, Thanks!
