How Guns Work: Blowback Operation

March 20, 2017 by Kevin Leave a Comment

Blowback operation is only one manner of making a gun fire, but it is interesting in its simplicity. It is a style seen in some older guns, like Bond's Walther PPK or in the Colt Hammerless 1908. The method of blowback function impacts both firearm design and performance. With the blowback style of operation, the force of the pressure caused by detonating the gunpowder within … [Read more...]

What Happens When You Shoot The PTR91?

December 27, 2016 by David Donchess Leave a Comment

Many people may buy these rifles and decide to turn them into designated marksman rifles or long range rifles. Me? I turned my PTR91 GI model into a fighting rifle. I had PTR replace the 18 standard GI barrel with a 16 inch bull barrel, replace the rubber charging handle with an all steel one, and mount a rail on the receiver.

How It Works: H&K’s Roller-Delayed Blowback Operating System

August 1, 2016 by David Donchess Leave a Comment

The Walther CCP hit the market hard and with much anticipation from the shooting community. The marketing on the CCP was fantastic, and it drew interest from all over, even from people who were previously uninterested in Walther pistols. The CCP drew eyes with its “Softcoil” system, which is basically their own gas-delayed blowback design. The design is quite different from the … [Read more...]

CZ 82 – the Milsurp 007 Would Love

June 6, 2016 by Kevin 5 Comments

James Bond likes the CZ 82. Okay, so Bond's signature firearm was a Walther PPK, and not the CZ, but at my first sight of the Czech military pistol, I couldn't help but to recall the hero's famous blued compact. The Walther's design predates the 82, and its Russian predecessor, the Makarov, by many years (49 and 20 years, respectively), but in addition to their passing … [Read more...]
