Although there are many things that influence the popularity of a weapon (reliability, accuracy, performance, etc.), in the special operations community it can often come down to one thing: personal preference. Here is a gallery of 10 of the most popular weapons used by operators. Click on the images to learn more about them.

Project Go Bag Explained

Crate-Club-Mini-SOFREP

Photo: My kitchen floor experiment.

Our first project in our mini crate club program is the “Go Bag”. Your items will ship monthly, and over the next 10 months we’ll build up your kit for you. Because the foundation of a good “Go Bag”, is the container system, and that is typically expensive, we are asking you to buy your own bag.

I personally recommend the Patagonia Black Hole 25 and have purchased this for myself over the weekend. I’m a fan of multi-functionality. This bag is rugged, has a lifetime guarantee (not that you need it with quality product; think Tommy Boy here…), and is pretty much as waterproof as you need it.

For those who want to rough it? One of the items can serve as your container as well, you’ll have to wait and see.

What’s the first item? Well, it’s a surprise…Interested? Sign up here.
