A Little Pain, a Lot of Gain: Force-on-Force Personal Defense Training for Civilians

March 5, 2025August 25, 2022 by John Boch

It’s not every day that you get a chance to practice self-defense tactics against opponents who actually shoot back, especially as a civilian. If you get the chance to do it through force-on-force training, grab it. I’ve been training everyday people how to use firearms safely and effectively for nearly twenty years now. I’ve taken … Read more

NYPD Saves The World…With An Airsoft Arrest

March 6, 2025March 12, 2020 by John Boch

America’s law enforcement do face risks everyday. However, it seems a bit far-fetched to suggest that an airsoft gun or two wielded in a non-threatening manner poses a great danger to anyone. Days ago, the New York Police Department’s 77th Precinct posted a photo of what looks like an impressive array of firearms and hardware. … Read more

For 2015, KRISS has made some improvements to its well-known Vector line of .45 ACP carbines, SBRs, pistols, and SMGs. In fact, one of these changes — I won’t taunt the caliber commandos by calling it an improvement — is Vector availability in 9mm and, due to the existing design, the capability to easily switch between 9×19 and .45 ACP. Other changes and improvements are detailed after the jump. Also on display at the KRISS booth aside from SPHINX pistols (SPHINX booth tour video here) were airsoft guns and .22 LRs from KRYTAC, including the War Sport LVOA rifle designs that they recently licensed. These are meant for realistic, but inexpensive training. Just don’t confuse the airsofts and the .22s. . .

Except for the pellets. You’re gonna need a lot of those . . .

That’s AirSOFT. Not AirHEAD. She seems like a nice lady, but I’m reminded of the proverb, Remain silent and people will wonder if you are wise; talk and remove all doubt.
