There’s a brutal difference between fact and fiction. The things we see in the entertainment industry may look cool on screen but have no basis in reality. For example, in Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps, Richard Hannay’s (Robert Donat) life is saved when a hymnal in his pocket stops an assassin’s bullet. This popular trope has been used and reused many times over the years with a variety of objects all conveniently being able to stop a bullet. But can phones stop bullets?

Whether you recently purchased your first AR platform r***e or have been shooting for quite some time, chances are you have probably heard the phrase “green tip ammo.” This popular 5.56 cartridge is also sometimes called a “penetrator round” because of its 62-grain projectile, partially steel core, and enhanced ability to punch through hard targets.

Army marksmanship has always played a key role in American military readiness, starting with musket drills in the Revolutionary War and continuing through today’s precision r***e competitions. The Army’s fi****ms training has evolved from a basic battlefield skill into a comprehensive program that encompasses training, competition, and recognition. Understanding this history shows how Army marksmanship badges maintain strong combat skills and set a standard that also shapes civilian shooting sports.

If someone asked me which two hunting cartridges are most quintessentially American, I’d offer the 300 WIN MAG VS 30-06. It’s hard to argue against either. The 30-06 (and if you have an old enough r***e, it might be marked as .30 Gov’t) was the caliber of both the 1903 Springfield and the M1 Garand, which served the United States armed forces during World War I and World War II.

The thumbprint, and trigger fingerprint, of John Moses Browning, is on nearly every major fi***rm design of the 19th and 20th centuries. A veritable fount of weapon designs, Browning’s innate skills, and pure determination at being a self-motivated marketer of his own works have made him a legend not only of the American shooting world, but globally. To many, he remains a paragon of the American spirit: born of humble origins built into a name of worldwide recognition through his own efforts and tenacity.⁠

Much of the death and destruction from World War I can be attributed to technological advancements. Many of these advancements had come about just before the war. The majority of them were untested on the battlefield. Tanks, poison gas, and flamethrowers helped raise the death toll. As did bombings from aircraft and their sea carriers. But wars are waged mostly on the ground by infantrymen with hand-held fi****ms.⁠
