Today, Travis shares the story behind NRL Hunter, important gear and information to have before your first match, explains the various participation divisions, and what's next for the rapidly growing sport in the coming years.

| 6/18/26 | ![]() TFB Behind the Gun #222: From Balkans to Babylon w/ TFB's Vladimir O. | Vladimir Onokoy returns to Behind the Gun to discuss his new book From Balkans to Babylon: Zastava AKs of Yugoslavia, Serbia, and Iraq — and more importantly, the personal story behind writing it. From his extensive field experience to the inspirations that drove him to document this rich Kalashnikov lineage, Vlad encourages others to act on their own instincts to share hard-won knowledge like he intends to do in his new book coming out soon.

| 6/11/26 | ![]() TFB Behind the Gun #221: The Fellowship of the Kalash | Emmanuel Barron of American Steppe, Kyle (@molasses_marmot), and Kalen of Rotating Bolt Industries (Colorado FFL and boutique AK builder) sit down for an enthusiastic, no-holds-barred conversation on the AK platform—its global variations, real-world performance, and how the Kalash compares to everything else out there. From classic ComBloc guns to modern custom builds and all of the AK offshooots, the trio dives into reliability stories, design insights, gunsmithing perspectives, and why this rifle continues to earn such dedicated fans.

| 6/4/26 | ![]() TFB Behind the Gun #220: FM-9D Belt-Fed w/ Adam | Freedom Ordnance | Adam from Freedom Ordnance joins us this week to discuss the company's background and the rise of their FM-9D. The FM-9D, a recent addition to the Freedom Ordnance lineup, is a closed-bolt, disintegrating-link 9mm belt-fed upper built for standard AR-15 lowers. Today we talk about the product's pre-FRT roots and discuss the increased popularity and legal status of forced-reset triggers, which helped transform it from a niche novelty into a genuinely fun (but still kind of expensive) practical shooter for regular citizens who don't want to jump through all of the NFA hoops.

We talk about Box's serious shotgun skills and where he got them, the engineering and inspiration behind the claycopter design, and how Caldwell grew from humble shooting rests and bags into a more innovative player in the rapidly growing shotgun subculture within the greater firearms industry. Please give Box a warm welcome to the show!

| 5/7/26 | ![]() TFB Behind the Gun #216: Hush-Points, Hot Dogs & Hand Grenades | We're excited to bring back Dave K. from Hi-Point Firearms for some genuine shop talk on their innovative DMLS 3D-printed suppressors, plus whatever else is on the table. Just four months after introducing the Hush-Point suppressor lineup, Hi-Point has launched their first direct metal laser sintered (DMLS) models in titanium and Inconel, raising the bar for lightweight, rugged sound suppression. Dave breaks it down today, from how Hi-Point entered the suppressor market well before the 2026 hype, to the advanced tech driving these new, fairly affordable 3D-printed units. We also share thoughts on our current firearm passions and touch on Moons Out 2026, and our future competition plans.

| 1/29/26 | ![]() TFB Behind the Gun #202: The Vortex "Skunkworks" NPD Division | On today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, we get to pick the brains of the guys behind the latest and greatest that comes out of the doors of the Vortex Optics New Product Development group. The literal "Skunkworks" of their company, the New Products Development team gets to imagine, test out, and develop everything from the very affordable budget-oriented red dots and scopes you know and love, to the extremely secretive and currently still classified XM157 Fire Control optic that has been a part of the U.S. Army's NGSW Program. Today, we'll have the opportunity to speak with Ben and Connor, both engineers who work within the NPD division, and they will share with us some of the what and why behind their newest products of 2026 so far. We're of course talking about the brand new Civilian variant of the Vortex AMG 1-10x24 LPVO, the Vortex Triumph 1-10x42 Relay equipped rangefinding binoculars, and the brand new Vortex Ace portable weather station. These new products further flesh out the Vortex Relay system, giving the end user a simple yet extremely capable ranging and weather data suite that allows them to take more informed and accurate shots, regardless of the number of components used. | — | ||||||
| 1/15/26 | ![]() TFB Behind the Gun #201: James from Zer0 & Sons 3D Printed Suppressors | Today's guest is James from Zer0 & Sons, a new crew that's using 3D printing to squeeze way more performance out of modern suppressors and way less money out of your wallet. By printing in metal instead of sticking to old‑school machining, they can make cans that are lighter, tougher, and shaped inside in ways you just can't do any other way, and also get the price down to something akin to the cost of a new rifle or handgun, rather than the latest bougie 2011. That means better gas flow, less blast to your ears, and gear that actually feels good to run on the guns people use every day at a price that most of us can afford. Please give a warm welcome to the founder of Zer0 & Sons, James! Zer0 & Sons Website Zer0 & Sons on X | — | ||||||
| 1/8/26 | ![]() TFB Behind the Gun #200: Recovering from Blackout w/ Emmanuel B | For TFB Behind the Gun #200, Emmanuel and I dive deep into what it means to "recover from blackout" — but in the sense that being so busy, sometimes you just don't have time to keep up with the industry you work in. We talk about the philosophy behind American Steppe: why Emmanuel insists on U.S. manufacturing, how he designs gear that's both kid‑friendly and mission‑capable, and the importance of teaching kids real skills with real gear instead of just handing them toys. From soft goods to some light politics, this is a high‑energy, wide‑ranging conversation about gear, parenting, preparedness, and what it really means to build resilience from the ground up. If you've ever wondered how to equip the next generation without compromising on quality or capability, this is the episode to listen to for Emmanuel's unique personality and his great backpacks and gear, which you should 100% check out at the links below.

| 1/1/26 | ![]() TFB Behind the Gun #199: Raiders Arms & the Temple of the AK | The AK might be one of the most recognizable rifles on the planet, but that does not mean it has to stay stuck in the past. On this New Year's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, we are talking about what a modern, lightweight, competition-ready AK can look like when you throw tradition out the window and start thinking in carbon fiber. My guest is "Penny," the lone designer and driving force behind Raiders Arms. Drawing on years of hands-on experience with AKs in the United States and Eastern Europe, Penny has built a product line that reimagines the platform from the ground up. Raiders Arms offers ultra-light carbon fiber handguards, rigid yet featherweight dust covers, minimalist fixed and folding stocks, and slimline grip panels designed to cut ounces without sacrificing durability. The catalog also includes tuned gas tube assemblies and accessories that help manage heat, keep optics stable, and improve overall balance. In this episode, Penny breaks down how he approaches the AK's biggest pain points—weight, heat, and ergonomics—and explains how strategic use of carbon fiber can make a 70-year-old design feel like a truly modern rifle. Whether you are running an AK in competition or just want a lighter, more responsive rifle for training, this conversation should give you some new ideas about what is possible with the platform.

| 12/25/25 | ![]() TFB Behind the Gun #198: All We Want for Christmas | Merry Christmas from all of us here at TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast! In our fifth year, we're grateful to have you both as an audience and as our direct supporters. Today, I've brought on TFB Editor in Chief Josh Centers and long-time TFB writer Rusty S. for a fun but pointed discussion on a few important topics to close out 2025. First and foremost is TFB's ongoing Christmas movie debate — which film will come out on top as the quintessential "Gun Guy Christmas Movie"? We also take some time to talk about the new Gun Rights Office being added to the Department of Justice and what that means. Of course, we share what we'd like to see happen in our own pursuits and across the wider gun industry for our Christmas wishes, then close out the year by previewing what we're looking forward to bringing you from SHOT Show 2026, just around the corner. Thanks as always for listening, and Merry Christmas from all of us here at The Firearm Blog! | — | ||||||
