Benelli Military & Special Purpose
"Special purpose" means different things to different Benelli users. Personal security afloat requires a special shotgun — the Benelli Nova H2O. The Nova's largely polymer exterior makes a corrosion-resistant start, and the special metal treatment of the H2O version completes the puzzle. The barrel, magazine tube, magazine cap, trigger group and all other inner metal parts are nickel-plated to survive the wettest, saltiest environments. The heavy molded-in grooving of the pistol grip and fore-end mean your grasp will be secure, regardless the sea state, and unlike wood, polymer won't swell when wet. The Nova can swallow just about any ammunition you can feed it: shot, slugs, rubber ball loads or pyrotechnics. Whatever the challenge you face on open water, the Nova H2O will be ready for action.
When you're back on dry land, the M3 Convertible Auto/Pump will fire semi-automatically with standard loads; as a pump gun for less-lethal rounds. When IPSC competition is on tap, select the full-race M1 Practical.

The Taurus Raging Bull .500
The Raging Bull is a revolver manufactured by the Brazilian Taurus International firearm company.
In its larger calibers it is marketed as a hunter's sidearm because it is a potent weapon with plenty of stopping power. The .454 Casull cartridge has been used to hunt animals as large as Cape Buffalo[1] and African elephants.[2]
The Raging Bull has a thumb ported barrel and a red rubber strip along the back of its grip, which cushions the shooter's hand and lowers perceived recoil. Functionally, the Raging Bull has a manually operated front cylinder latch, whose release can be seen on the crane in the picture. Front cylinder latches are required for such high powered double action revolvers, and are found on the Ruger Super Redhawk and the S&W Model 500 revolver, but they are actuated by the rear cylinder latch. The manually operated latch on the Raging Bull is simpler (and thus less expensive to produce) yet equally strong but requires two hands to open the cylinder.
Ten Tips for Improving Your Skeet Shooting
Skeet shooting is a sport that many enjoy, but, often, it can be more than enjoyment. Many people have gone on to compete in skeet shooting contests for prizes and even money. Whether you enjoy skeet shooting for the fun or if you shoot competitively, you can always work on your shooting accuracy. There are a variety of things you can do to improve your skeet shooting that can help you be number one at your next competition. Following are 10 tips that you can use to make your skeet shooting the best it has ever been.
1. Get the Right Equipment – When you are skeet shooting, having the right equipment is of utmost importance. You will want to make sure that you gun fits you right and that it feels right to you, as well. If you are uncomfortable with your gun and how it fits and feels, this will affect your shooting accuracy. Other equipment that may help you includes ear protection, so the noise will not startle you and a hat to keep the sun out of your eyes.
2. Find a Comfortable Mount Position – Some people choose to mount the gun high and close to the body, while others choose to keep the gun low and away from their body. If you are shooting skeet in international competitions, you will be required to do the low mount, but, otherwise, you can usually choose the position you want. Find which position is the most comfortable and use it for the best accuracy while shooting.
3. Body Position – Your body’s position is just as important as the position of the gun when you are skeet shooting. Make sure that you have a firm stance and place your feet about a shoulder’s width apart to get the best position. This will keep you from losing your balance and will help keep your muscles from tightening or tensing at the wrong time and jerking your shot off.
4. Breathe – When you are shooting, make sure that you breathe and relax before your shot to maintain your body’s relaxation. As you walk from place to place, be sure to keep breathing and make sure you are not holding your breath.
5. Point the Gun – It is very helpful if you point your gun in the direction that the target will be. Getting your gun and your body in position for the next shot is very important. If you are already pointing your gun in the direction of the next target you will be ready to make an accurate and quick shot.
6. Focus on the Target – It is important that you focus on the target you are shooting at instead of on the barrel of the gun. Focusing on the target will insure a more accurate shot since you are focusing on what you are actually shooting at.
7. Make a Decision – If you are shooting pairs, you may want to decide which target you are going to shoot first. Making this decision ahead of time is important so you will not have to think about it and miss the shot while you are thinking.
8. Mirror Practice – To get your swing and mount right, you can practice this move in front of the mirror. A smooth, quick swing and mount will enable you to be more accurate. When you practice in front of a mirror, you can check your body position and make sure that you are keeping your body straight.
9. Make a Change – If you are having a time when you are consistently missing the targets, you should make a change in what you are doing. You can change the position of your feet or your mount position to try to correct the problem.
10. Practice – One of the very best things you can do to become more accurate at skeet shooting is to practice. Practice every part of the skeet shooting process from your stance to your swing and your final shot. The more you practice and become comfortable with the process, the better you will do. http://www.claytargetsonline.com/

The Cornershot Rifle - A choice weapon for future urban combat
Innovative weapons designs are typically developed to serve problem areas highlighted during the heat of battle. The Israeli military, through their extensive experience with urban combat and counter terrorism operations, developed an idea to provide the war fighter with an exceptional first-strike capability. Which brings us to a recently revealed design from the Israeli firm whose corporation is the rifles namesake, The Cornershot. With a camera mounted on the nose of a swiveling barrel of an assault pistol, a soldier wielding this rifle can get a first look into a dangerous situation and strike first. Additional models can be outfitted with an automatic grenade launcher to shoot around corners and clear rooms. Check out the video that displays the training and capabilities of squads wielding the Cornershot.
50 cal Barret sniper rifle
The complete system includes the .50 caliber semi-automatic rifle, detachable 10-round magazine, variable-power day optic sight, transport case, tactical soft case, cleaning /maintenance equipment, detachable sling and adjustable bi-pod and manuals. It fires standard caliber .50 ammunition. The new rifle provides Army snipers a much needed solution that is tactically superior to other capabilities against materiel and personnel targets.
The M107 .50 caliber long range sniper rifle is a new Category I weapon being fielded to infantry snipers, with 700 in service in FY2003. The Category II M82A1 remains in service. The Army's new .50 caliber sniper rifle design was initially designated the XM-107. At least two manufacturers of .50 caliber sniper rifles were in competition for the contract -- Barrett and EDM Arms -- and Barrett won the contract.
The M107 is the Barrett Model 95, a smaller, lightweight .50 caliber rifle with emphasis on accuracy and durability. The bullpup design results in a compact rifle with no sacrifice on accuracy or velocity thanks to its cryogenically treated 29-inch (73.7 cm) barrel, the same length as the Model 82A1. Recoil is reduced by the dual-chamber muzzle brake and specially designed recoil pad.
How to Get Your Federal Firearms License By Mikee Dunn
You have decided that you love firearms so much that you want to open up your own business, right? How to get your federal firearms license may seem like a daunting task, but when you take it step by step, it can be as easy as filling out paperwork at a doctor’s office. Remember that you have a second amendment right to have a firearm but to sell a firearm is a totally different task to embark upon.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives dictate how to get your federal firearms license. There are certain things that they will and will not require of you, including these:
• You must be at least twenty one years old. There is no exception to this rule. You have to be twenty one just to own a gun, why would you think you could sell one at a younger age?
• You must have a place to set up a business. This must be an actual building or store where you can sell guns and collect money safely. Your garage will not work and you certainly cannot sell firearms online. Find a place to run your business and then apply.
• You cannot be prohibited from using firearms. Arrested for armed robbery and now on parole? Yeah, you won’t be selling firearms legally any time soon.
• Have you violated the Gun Control Act? If you have, don’t even bother asking for an application. You break one law, and you won’t be selling firearms anytime soon.
• How to get your federal firearms license is an easy process that can quickly become complicated if you lie on your application. The government will investigate you to no end and probably make a note of you for future reference. There will be a red flag every time you buy or sell a weapon from that point forward.
• Abide by business laws. All of them. If you apply and get accepted, open the business. Don’t expect the license to last forever. In fact, it won’t.
Now all you have to do is contact the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and submit an application. You should expect an application fee of anywhere in the price range of $30-$3000, depending on whether you deal with non destructive or destructive firearms. The fee is also determined by if you are a manufacturer, importer, pawnbroker, dealer or collector. Expect the usual government processing time when it comes to your application.
How to get your federal firearms license can be as easy as pie for the honest and levelheaded second amendment fan. Distributing firearms can be a wonderful dream, which can now be a reality for a person who can produce an application fee and can take a few minutes to fill out a form. Remember that if you decide to skip this step when opening your firearm establishment, the consequences can be catastrophic for not only you, but your customer base as well.
A quick list of how to get your federal firearms license is provided here, in easy to read language and facts.

For some in U.S., guns are a hobby like any other By Tim Gaynor
DOUGLAS, Ariz. (Reuters) - An odd contraption in retired firefighter Alex Black’s cluttered garage looks a bit like the hand winch at the top of a well. In fact, it is a machinegun.
Turning the shiny brass handle spat out a withering hail of bullets that transformed modern warfare.“You march in to battle in straight lines against this, and nobody comes back,” said Black, standing beside the hefty, carriage-mounted Colt Gatling Gun, which he restored over the course of a decade.
Black, who lives in this sleepy ranching town on the Arizona-Mexico border, is one of millions of gun collectors in the United States, where authorities estimate that there are more than 200 million firearms held in private hands in a country of 300 million people.
The American affinity for guns may puzzle foreigners who link high ownership rates and liberal gun ownership laws to the 84 gun deaths and 34 gun homicides that occur in the United States each day and wonder why gun control is not an issue in the U.S. presidential election.
The owners are not just urban criminals and drug dealers. There are hunters and home security advocates, and then there are the gun collectors.
“People are ‘Oh, you collect guns, you must be bad.’ That’s nonsense. Gun collectors aren’t criminals, they are nobody to be frightened of,” says Black, one of several hobby collectors in this small Arizona town.
“I love machinery, and I love history, and history was written with firearms,” he said. “They were probably the most spectacular things ever built.”
Aside from the rare 1895 machinegun, similar to ones used by Teddy Roosevelt in the Spanish-American War in Cuba, the soft-spoken retiree has a large selection of antique military weapons from the 19th and 20th centuries at his home.
The arsenal of revolvers, semi-automatic pistols, rifles and carbines spans conflicts from the American Civil War right up to World War Two, and all the guns are legally held.
A LOT LIKE GOLF
Black’s friend Lynn Kartchner is another self-described “gun nut” who lives in Douglas. He has a private arsenal of around 100 handguns, shotguns and rifles of all sorts which he uses for everything from hunting prairie dogs and rabbits to target shooting.
“The richer the golfer, the more clubs he owns,” he told Reuters at a Sunday morning pistol shoot at the Douglas Rifle & Pistol Club, where he can usually count on meeting up with a number of like-minded enthusiasts.
“You have a golf club for every angle and range, whether you’re lying in the grass or lying in the sand trap. It’s the same with gun nuts,” he said.
When he is out hunting, he carries a small .22 caliber pistol in his pocket in case he stumbles upon a coyote or a jack rabbit. He has shotguns of various gauges to shoot springing quail or wild duck, and rifles to pop off prairie dogs over an afternoon in the countryside with a case of beer.
For target shooting he has everything from small bore target pistols to powerful .45 caliber revolvers for quick-draw cowboy shoots, to semi-automatic assault rifles and heavy caliber sniper rifles for precision tournaments.
“It’s a humongous gun,” he says of one of one of his favorites, an antique Winchester rifle. “It’s been putting bullets one on top of the other since 1935. At 100 meters you can hit a golf ball with every shot.”
