SHOT Show 2026 wasn’t about flashy banners or endless aisles—it was about the gear that actually worked, and if you paid attention, you could see the future of shooting right there on the floor.

Rad and Team SOFREP spend a day on the range with the pros at SIG Sauer.
The SIG Sauer M7 is not simply a new rifle, it is a full-stack fighting package where the optic does the math, the suppressor manages the signature, and the shooter gets more time to concentrate on putting lead on target.
The M250 is not the Army polishing an old idea, it is the Army admitting the fight moved out, got tougher, and demands a belt-fed demon that can reach out and make every burst count.
The M7 and M250 were not selected to look good on a briefing slide; they were built to make sure the rifleman and the gunner are hitting the enemy with the same kind of authority when the fight turns ugly and the squad has to carry the weight together.
Two weapons, one mission set, one ballistic brain: the M7 and M250 were built to fight as a paired system so squads can put accurate, sustained 6.8×51mm fire where it counts and keep constant pressure on the enemy.
Soldiers are pushing the M7 through real field conditions, and the rifle is changing fast because the people who carry it refuse to accept anything less than combat ready performance.
If you want MCX Rattler handling and three-round-burst attitude without the noise or paperwork, this CO₂ BB rifle delivers the look, the controls, and grin-inducing mag dumps that make backyard drills feel like a mini range day.
The moment the nation’s top firearms instructors ban one of your pistols from training, the debate shifts from design flaws to a crisis of trust.
A sidearm that holsters like a housecat and bites like a rattlesnake—God help us if it starts asking for rank and pension.
If a sidearm can fire from a table without a finger on the trigger, it’s not a weapon—it’s a liability with a serial number.
