This year for Finnish Brutality I am shooting in Armored division, with a 7.62x39mm Stenzel SAK-21 as my rifle and a left-handed Laugo Remus as my pistol. Since those aren’t military-issue firearms I decided to go with more civilian clothing instead of fatigues – I am wearing a Varusteleka L4 field shirt and tactical jeans. My plate carrier is a Varusteleka low-profile, with three mag pouches set up for AK mags. The combat belt has a BattleGnome L3 holster for the Laugo, two Varusteleka pistol mag pouches, a Cro Medical IFAK, and an Acta Non Verba Anthropoid dagger.
Unfortunately, have really excellent kit means that I have no excuses for poor performance!
At Forgotten Weapons I think the most interesting guns out there are the most obscure ones. I try to search out experimental and prototype weapons and show you how they work, in addition to more conventional guns that you may not have heard of before. You’re much more likely to find a video on the Cei Rigotti or Webley-Fosbery here than an AR or Glock. So, do you want to learn about something new today? Then stick around!
