Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FN 1776 rifle and its market position?

The FN 1776 is a new model of the FN15 rifle from FN Herstal, priced at an MSRP of $800. It's described as a barebones offering, potentially intended as a starting platform for custom builds, though its value proposition is questioned.

Why might the US Army switch to hollowpoint ammunition?

The US Army is considering hollowpoint ammunition because the US did not sign the 1899 Hague Convention banning them. Hollowpoints are generally more effective for terminal ballistics and can reduce collateral damage in urban combat scenarios.

What are the top three 9mm handguns according to The Gun Collective?

The top three 9mm handguns are ranked as: 3rd - Glock 19 (good for customization), 2nd - Sig P320 (comfortable and modular), and 1st - Heckler & Koch VP9 (best all-around balance of features).

Is it advisable to create custom, homemade AR-15 parts through cutting and welding?

Custom fabrication of AR-15 parts via cutting and welding is considered acceptable if the innovation is unique and not available commercially, or if the primary goal is to add a distinct personal style to the firearm.
