Humans have fought underground for as long as they have been fighting each other, but as combat has evolved with technology, and as humans have built increasingly sophisticated structures underground, there is an emerging next-generation warfare as a subset of urban combat: Subterranean, AKA Sub-T.
Blacked out comms, difficult logistics, overpressure from gunshots, explosives, extremely short distances mixed with intermediate length axes of approach. Lack of air.
We sat down with Ashely, an infantry officer turned simulations officer and discuss what her thoughts on this nightmare scenario of urban combat could look like, and how we could survive it.

The Blind 🕶 Gun Expert - Mishaco [Podcast Ep. 6]
Wednesday Jan 11, 2023
Wednesday Jan 11, 2023
He was born blind, so he's technically never actually seen a firearm, and yet knows more about them than the average industry professional.
You see, eyesight is a foundation for many, especially when considering firearms, and shooting sports... and yet one of the youtube channels that firearms industry professionals turn to when they have questions on historical firearm designs... is run by a blind man named William T. (aka Mishaco).
I recently sat down with William (aka Mishaco) and we discussed his perspective and outlook on life as a blind man thriving in a "seeing man's industry".

So you're China in the 1980's trying to dig yourself out of poverty. Your industry isn't diverse, are largely agricultural and you just took a hit fighting the Vietnamese. How do you get out of poverty?
The answer: Guns. Sell them to the American market.
In the 1980's China made a lot of AK47 style rifles (Type 56 Assault) and sold them to the U.S. market. These gave the Type 56 a reputation of the best rifles, while they were considered the worst in other places of the world.
So what is the truth? Where are they from? Which factory made them? How were they made?
We speak with arms dealer Dave P. who's family distributed Chinese small arms in the 1980's for an answer to all these questions!

☢️ Forbidden Chernobyl - A Journey to the Most Dangerous Place on Earth [Podcast Ep. 4]
Wednesday Sep 21, 2022
Wednesday Sep 21, 2022
Henry recalls his trip to Chernobyl, what he saw on ground at the reactor 4 site, surrounding villages, the city Pripyat, and the former top secret DUGA-1 OTH Radar Array used to detect American ICBMs.
Reactor no. 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant experienced a melt-down, and exploded on April 26th, 1986, causing the largest nuclear disaster to date.
While many cite the unprecedented environmental damage, forced human evacuation, and long-lasting health problems for Ukranians and Belorussians, part of the biggest tragedies are of the people who went into Chernobyl as first responders and paid the ultimate sacrifice.
We also compare and contrast the real-life locations, to pop-culture references like HBO's "Chernobyl" and Call of Duty (video game).

Fallujah, Iraq was considered one of the most dangerous places in the world. Following the brutal ambush, killing, hanging and mutilations of four Blackwater security contractors, the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force kicked off a major assault to cordon off Fallujah.
Young LCpl (Lance Corporal) Brad Simmons was a team leader tasked with a new mission where he would be shot in the back of the head with an AK47 type weapon (impacting under his helmet).
The subsequent events of Brad's head-shot would jumpstart the first Battle of Fallujah, and subsequently leading to the second Battle of Fallujah months later - considered the deadliest urban combat by the U.S. Marine Corps since the Battle of Huế city in Vietnam, 1968.
In this episode, Brad recounts his time Fallujah and Iraq, but more importantly how he returned home and dealt with the hardship that ensued from Iraq.

Thursday Aug 11, 2022
Thursday Aug 11, 2022
Gunfights with criminals wielding Chinese AK47, grenades, capturing illegal immigrants, spies on the high seas, and fighting terrorists... Her Majesty's Royal Hong Kong Police did it all. (as a tiny British Colony before 1997).
Before the 2019 pro-democracy protests and before Hong Kong returned to China in 1997, the Royal Hong Kong Police was renowned as the finest police force in Asia.
We spoke with Police Constable Wong, a former RHKP officer who served on the city police and rural/border police force.

The AK12 - a sad chapter for the Kalashnikov - feat. Brandon Herrera [Podcast Ep. 1]
Thursday Jun 23, 2022
Thursday Jun 23, 2022
We sat down with Brandon Herrera and talked about how we really felt about the AK12. The strangest thing happened when Brandon, Polenar Tactical and 9 Hole reviews all filmed the AK12 the same weekend after working with it for a few months, and nearly had identical conclusions... (and a fair amount of conspiracy theorists on how it was a collaborated hit piece).
So what's the deal with Russia's latest rifle, the AK12?
