This week on Weapons Free Wednesday, We return from Asia kick things off with a nod to Peanut and Harambe—two icons that made us pause, reflect, and laugh. From there, we dive into the general sense of disconnection that’s running through the U.S. right now and the personal sense of malaise caused by how we as Americans continue to fall behind in quality of life and global infrastructure.
And we close it out with a simple, but crucial reminder: get out and vote—because it matters.

This week we had the pleasure of siting down with Mike Pappas in the Dead Air studio out in beautiful Heber, Utah. We get the origin story on one of the industries most prolific silencer companies.

We had a great time with the Dead Air team, more to follow in 2025. Grab your favorite beverage and pull up a chair, this one you don't want to miss!

This week we are joined by Brian Cook and Clark Curnutt from BC Precision Ballistics. They are the minds behinds the new 6MM Max cartridge, and if you're not familiar with it you've been living under a 6mm Arc rock. We cover everything from initial ideation to velocity testing and all the different payload options in between (Yes it defeats armor). We get schooled on what it takes to develop a cartridge that just may well dethrone 60+ years of NATO standards. This one is for the nerds.

So imagine if every global Tier 1 Special Operations unit all shared the same textbook for long range shooting. Now imagine having to sign non disclosure agreements to even read some of the pages in said textbook. It would be safe to reason said textbook is an extremely valuable body of work. Well it is an absolute honor to have Todd Hodnett, the author of said textbook, on our podcast for the next two episodes. I always love catching up with the godfather of the "christmas tree reticle" .
Part 1 covers how he came to rewrite and instruct the worlds premiere sniper schoolhouses and the origins of the Horus / Tremor Reticles.
Part 2 will cover the nerdiest aspects of long range shooting, from new cartridges to bullet and optic selection.
