The grand power stribog is a Slovakian 9mm carbine style pistol. Imported by global ordnance out of Sarasota Florida. The stribog sp9a1 gen 2 is normally priced between 700-900 depending on where you get it and what kind of sales are available at the time. The example I have shipped with 3 magazines, 2 straight body magazines and 1 curved magazine. Mine also came with the sb tactical brace that most firearms of this style come with. As a little bonus the Stribogs come with a spare set of the polymer flip up sights and it all ships in a pretty nice hard case.

Out of the box it is a lot smaller than I had expected. (That’s what she said) It has a solid weight of 5lbs 1oz unloaded on the 8” barrel model. There is now a 5” barrel model available along with models that accept Glock magazines. There are 3 main models of stribog to look for, the original is the sp9a1 which a direct blow back with a reciprocating charging handle. Shortly after that came the sp9a1 gen 2 which is also a direct blowback model but with a non reciprocating charging handle. Which to me is a major plus. Then that leads us to the sp9a3 which is grand powers take on a roller delayed action. I am honestly not super knowledgeable or experienced with the sp9a3 considering I’ve never even seen one in person. All of the models ship with lower receivers that have fixed non changeable grips and take the proprietary stribog magazine. As long as I’m understanding this correctly, the neat thing is that the serialized part is the upper receiver portion. Therefore you could easily change out the lower to one of the many aftermarket options available that better suits you.
First shots- The first time I took the stribog out I was not exactly thrill with how it went. I had two failure to feeds in the first magazine. Then when I removed the magazine to clear the malfunctions the entire magazine shot the remaining rounds out. After two or three more times of picking about 28 rounds out of the snow I realized that the straight body magazines that they ship with these are absolute junk. The curved magazine that they send however is awesome. The curved magazines look better, seem to be made better, and have ran 100% flawlessly.
Tumblr media
So after the initial hiccup the first time shooting it I have really grown to love this firearm. Since owning it I have added a couple small upgrades from HB industries to it including their short stroke buffer kit and their mini comp thread protector. I have since put a couple thousand rounds through it with nothing but good times and good things to say about it.
Grand Power has since released the 5” barrel models and the models that accept Glock magazines. Aftermarket support for the stribog seems to be pretty good with offerings from companies like HB industries, Jtac industries, and Arms republic. There are plenty of parts available online like handguard extensions, lower receivers that take different magazines, triggers, and grips.
Tumblr media
I think the future is bright for the little stribog and I am excited to see what comes next for it. In the future I may try to get ahold of a sp9a3 to check out. In the meantime if you are interested in picking up a stribog for yourself then I would highly recommend it. That being said make sure you pick up a few curved magazines that way you can avoid the entire first situation I had.
Awesome firearm for the price, and I’m sure you’ll love it.
Happy shooting!

hold on. forgive me for going on a gun rant unprovoked but i just realized something
so, bit of context. normal firearms use bullets inserted into a brass/steel/polymer (rarely) case full of propellant, the bullet has no way of accelerating itself. it's purely a projectile. gyrojet rounds have no case, the bullet contains angled solid rocket motors that both propel and spin-stabilize it.
as such, gyrojet firearms do not require case ejection ports except for clearing a jam, and the rounds gain kinetic energy up to the point where the motors burn out long after leaving the barrel. this means they are not particularly effective at close range.
so why is it that the only properly manufactured gyrojet cartridge is a 13mm caliber pistol round??? you're hardly gonna get more out of that than .45 ACP!!! all the ballistic advantages, rendered pointless because it would never be used at long enough range for it to matter!!! agh!!!

The pistol has little use in wartime. There. I said it. Pistols in wartime are for making the officers feel like the prettiest boys at the party. In truth, wartime engagement distances are way too far for pistols to matter, and weapons technology has developed compact rifle caliber packages that are far superior at close quarters warfare compared to the handling and limitations of a pistol.
Civilian, spycraft, and police use are more sensible pistol doctrines than wartime use. A pistol to protect yourself from a mugger, home invader, or carjacker (Atlanta still has those or so I’ve heard) makes perfect sense considering the tight spaces in which these conflicts occur and the need to limit overpenetration in civilian areas. Battlefield ranges, on the other hand, require rifle rounds to reach out and put holes in armor, something pistols cannot do.
Pistols are also more covert than even the smaller pistol caliber carbines. Undercover operatives armed with a pistol either for defensive or offensive purposes can keep one low profile and tucked away, sometimes even just comfortably stored in their pocket. The quieter report of a pistol means that even with a suppressor installed, the overall package stays small and discreet, something that doesn’t really matter when the rules of war prevent soldiers from dressing as civilians.
The pistol is for quick, short-range, dynamic engagements. Police work is full of these. The limited weight and portability of a pistol means that one can be comfortably strapped to a gun belt for a day of patrolling, and with most civilian gun battles lasting less than ten seconds, the limited magazine round count doesn’t matter for day to day operations. The militarization of the police is trying to change this, of course, but it comes down to the fact that an MTA cop simply doesn’t want to be carrying a 10 to 15 pound hunk of metal slung across his chest all day when he could just keep a 5 pound lump comfortably on his belt.
Practicality wins out here, and a pistol is going to make much more sense for someone living in a friendly city with less imminent danger than someone dropped in a world battlefield having to go up against battle rifles.
All this to say that actually, Shadow the hedgehogs use of pistols is probably more justified by tactical doctrine than the guy on the cover of Modern Warfare II.

Anti-Junta Firearms in Myanmar
The anti-junta forces in Myanmar have become extremely adept at creating their own weaponry to support their fight versus the ruling junta.
Above video shows a clone of an AK (top) being compared to a real AK (bottom)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is also the TZ23, a standardized, AR-15/AK inspired assault rifle (piston-driven, so similar in concept to an AR-18). The majority of the furniture, and even the lower receiver itself, looks to be 3D printed. Here's some pictures of it, showing a prototype, the standardized production version, being loaded (where you can see how thick the magazine well walls are bc 3D printing), and a shot of an entire armory full of them.
Tumblr media
They also have weapons which are modified civilian weapons, like this Indian made Lee-Enfield clone chambered for 8x50mmR Mannlicher (?!?!) But their primary choice of self-produced weapon to fight the junta...

please what do the numbers on the guns and ammo and junk mean please
on the ammo it's often the size of the bullet or cartridge (well its a little more complicated than that but let's leave it at that). Like 9x19mm (aka 9mm parabellum or simply 9mm) is 9mm wide and 19mm long. 5.56x45mm (or 5.56 NATO) is 5.56 mm wide, 45mm long. you get it.
The numbers on guns depend. Sometimes it indicates caliber (for exmple UMP45 (.45ACP)/UMP9 (9mm)) sometimes it indicates year of adoption (AK-47 adopted in 1947) and sometimes its kind of a manufacturer thing (AR-10, AR-15, AR-18 all rifle mades by Armalite where the number is just a model name, Glock 17 being Gaston's glock 17th pattern)
Some gun names are military designations that i don't fully understand, and so it's often a nomenclature system that every army has. In the us most weapons are M something, like the M4 carbine, the M16 rifle, M17 pistol. then you've got M16A1, M16A2, M16A3 which is like, different versions of the thing that include modifications, but then sometimes it's M60, M60E4, which is modifications that aren't properly adopted or something? i don't remember. It's fucked up and weird but every army has their weird names like that.

Princess Luna inserted a reloaded magazine into the grip of the massive semi-automatic pistol. Cycling the action she raised the pistol and started to take aim, but then paused and lowered the weapon. Remembering the first magazine she'd fired from the behemoth pistol her horn flared and small force wall appeared in front of her face. Once again she raised the weapon and pressed trigger. 
   The pistol roared and rocked in her hand as it sent a 11.45mm projectile rocketing downrange. The alicorn was very happy she'd remembered to erect the force wall as she watched the spent brass casing bounce of it instead of her face. The first time she'd fired it several of the spent casings had struck her. 
    The giant pistol thundered 7 times and then went silent. Calm returned to firing range. Removing the now spent magazine and confirming the chamber was empty Luna set the still smoking pistol down on a bench and looked over at the pony who was creator of this monstrous mechanical creation. The stallion anxiously smiled as he addressed the princess. 
    "So your highness! What is your opinion? Would you consider the possibility of your security forces adopting it? Yes it is a rather large pistol, but with a shoulder stock attached the pistol can also operate as a small semi automatic carbine. So it is multi-purpose system, and 11.45mm cartridge is without equal at this time!"
     The Prussian Blue alicorn looked back at the pistol on the bench and then over to it's creator. She arched an eyebrow as she spoke. 
     "The problem I see sir. Is that I haven't test-fired a very large pistol today, but instead a very small field gun. The weapon is large to the point of encumbrance. It fires an excessively powerful cartridge for the job. It has more parts than my pocket watch. Even worse it has an alarming tendency of hurling spent cartridge casing into face of the operator with great gusto."
     At this moment Luna glanced down and noticed there was a spent cartridge casing lodged down in the cleavage of her breasts. Reestablishing eye contact with the stallion, the mare casually reached in with one hand and extracted the wayward piece of brass. She then flicked it away. 
    The stallion swallowed and looked the princess eyes. "So, um. That's a no."
    Note. The pistol in this drawing is a Gabbett-Fairfax Mars pistol. They were a series of early 20th century pistols. The Gabbett-Fairfax Mars, not to be mistaken with several other pistols from other period manufacturers that were also called Mars, never went into proper manufacturing. Instead the Mars were a series of unique, handmade, prototypes. Each one slightly different from its brethren with a wide range of features, calibers, sights and barrel lengths.  
     Ian McCollum at Forgotten Weapons has in the past has done a couple of video about it. Link. Link.

Snuck away to the range for a few hours today! It was a pistol and pistol caliber carbine day. From left to right, my CZ Scorpion SBR with my SilencerCo Octane 9 on the end, my Kriss Vector Gen 2 in 45acp, and my QC10 AR45 in 45acp with my ACC Ti-Rant on the end. Shooting the Vector is always interesting because of its unusual bolt set up but it’s fairly accurate and not much recoil. The CZ Scorpion is fast and accurate. And the QC AR in 45 is just plain fun to shoot, super quiet and accurate. A fun day.

Top five favorite guns?
5. Dragunov SVD. Soviet-era design semiautomatic sniper rifle! I mean, what’s not to like?
4. Kriss Vector. High tech pistol-caliber carbine design from outer space. I love the cool recoil mitigation system. Recoil mitigation is important to consider not just for follow-up shots, but also user experience and reducing discomfort and fatigue!
3. Glock 43x in 9mm. One of the best concealed carry guns in my opinion. It’s a perfect size: The grip is just large enough for a medium-sized hand, it has just enough weight and barrel length for decent recoil and accuracy, and it has a capacity of 10 rounds (+1 in the chamber) which is p decent. You can also still install a red dot sight and a weapon light on it which are huge pluses. And of course it’s a Glock which is a famously reliable brand (which I can back up with my own experience).
2. Glock 19 in 9mm. I love this gun. Slightly larger than a 43x in basically every dimension except for the grip which is significantly larger due to the double-stack magazine for a higher capacity. Good accuracy, good recoil, compatible with a wide variety of red dot sights and weapon lights, fits great in my hand & would probably be fine with even larger hands than me. Comes with multiple backstraps to adjust the grip too. Default capacity is 15+1 but it also accepts 17 round Glock 17 magazines as well as the 33 round fun sticks if you’re feeling really spicy. Suitable for competition, carry, range fun. I actually carry a glock 19 concealed which some people find bonkers because it’s technically a “subcompact” so it’s on the larger side for a concealed gun but tbh for my body shape I find it reasonably comfortable and I have never had a problem with concealment.
1. AR-15. I mean, they’re the LEGO of guns. You can build one to a wide variety of specs, there’s a huge variety of high-quality parts manufacturers, and even if you just buy a complete rifle there is a shitload of aftermarket support and you can always buy new parts to upgrade or replace shit real easy. Good ergonomics, easy to operate controls, reliable (when you have good quality parts), on average they have relatively low recoil with 5.56, not super heavy (unless you add a shitload of accessories LOL), easy to troubleshoot and disassemble, and suitable for a wide variety of applications. You can run one with a long barrel for precision, you can get a .300 Blackout upper with subsonic ammo and a silencer and run a super quiet one, you can use one for hunting, you can use one for home defense.
I know some leftists love AKs, but if you live in America, the AR is a much more practical choice in terms of parts and ammo and high quality parts manufacturers. If you’ve only shot AKs, you gotta try out an AR. They’re just downright easier to use, you can operate them faster than the AK design. Also, to the people who say that AKs are more reliable than ARs? I would counter by saying that ARs are actually very reliable. There’s lots of torture testing you can look up on youtube. The AK has loose tolerances, but the tight design of the AR actually does a good job of keeping dirt and foreign matter out of it. And you can run an AR pretty dirty as long as you keep it lubricated. Does not really need to be cleaned that often. There’s even a product you can buy online that’s a lubricant bottle that stows away inside of the pistol grip.

AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN WW1 WEAPONS Shoutout To @lilis-palace & @chere-indolante For Making Such Great WW1 Uniform Download Link Here
Note: While in reality The Astro-Hungarian Empire Weapons during the Great War Are Hodgepodge of Armament With German Empire weapons that Covered in our Previous Post. This Post Was covering the Homegrown Weapons From Astro-Hungarian Empire that used During WW1 Despite one of them Are Never Actually Exist in Real life. Mannlicher M1895 The Mannlicher M1895 is an Austro-Hungarian bolt-action  rifle, developed and designed by Ferdinand Ritter Von Mannlicher. It  features a straight-pull bolt-action feeding from single-column magazine  fed by en-bloc 5-round clips. The long rifle features a 30.1" barrel,  and the carbine a 19" barrel. Both rifle and carbine feature a  single-piece stock with full-length handguard. It fires the 8x50mmR  cartridge. The rifle was produced at Österreichische  Waffenfabriks-Gesellschaft, Steyr, from 1896 to 1918, and Fegyver és  Gépgyár Rt. ("Arms and Machine Manufacturing Company") in Budapest from  1897 to 1918. Over 3,000,000 rifles were produced, roughly 75% at Steyr.  Bulgaria purchased many M95s, beginning in 1903. It was the primary  battle rifle of the Austro-Hungarian Landwehr and the Bulgarian Army  during World War I, and continued to serve the postwar Austrian,  Hungarian, and Bulgarian armies. Atleast until World War II Frommer Stop The Frommer Stop is a semi-automatic pistol produced in 1912 by Fegyver- és Gépgyártó Részvénytársaság ("Arms and Machine Manufacturing Company")  Known As FÉG of Hungary. It was used throughout World War I and World War II by the Hungarian Armed Forces. Designer Rudolf Frommer adapted the design from another pistol that fired .32 ACP (7.65mm) from a seven-round detachable magazine.  The weapon is unusual among automatic pistols in using a long-recoil system of operation. The Frommer Stop was available in 2 proprietary cartridges, similar to the .32 and .380 ACP, respectively. However, the Stop's cartridges had more powder and fired a heavier bullet. The Stop could fire regular .32 and .380 rounds, though, with less reliability. The Standschütze Hellriegel 1915 The Hellriegel 1915 is a prototype water-cooled submachine gun for or by the Austro-Hungarian reserves (Standschützen) during World War I, by a designer identified only as "Hellriegel". The weapon could be fed from either box magazines or chute-fed. A highly obscure weapon, no complete examples are known to still exist, no documentation remains, the only remaining evidence being three  photographs dated October 1915 depicting the weapon being tested. As a result, its operating mechanisms and development history are pure speculation. Its apparent automatic fire capability and pistol caliber  would make it one of the earliest sub machine gun designs in history.
