FUNDAMENTALS OF ADAPTIVE COMBATIVES & TACTICS
BOOK REVIEW: THE CORPSE WAR OF 1793
In The Corpse War of 1793, a British soldier fights zombies in a story so vivid it blurs fiction and reality.
These are built directly from the details you provided: the first-person “Company Aytch”-style narration, Napoleonic setting, zombie elements (including the nearly indestructible undead and chattering teeth), military authenticity (gear care, sentry duty, discipline, medical care), emotional layers (survivor guilt, imposter syndrome), hand-drawn sketches, sorrowful but realistic ending, 450-page length, and dual appeal to military-history readers and zombie-fiction fans. The author’s historian background and YouTube channel are noted implicitly through the “authentic military life” phrasing to support EEAT without overstuffing.
BRAGGING ABOUT NEVER CLEANING YOUR GUNS IS STUPID (AND DANGEROUS)
Bragging about never cleaning your gun is stupid and risky. Guns tolerate some neglect, but regular buildup in the bore, chamber, and gas system causes wear, reduced accuracy, and malfunctions. “Non-corrosive” ammo still leaves residues that attract moisture and cause corrosion. At minimum, keep the action and bore oiled to displace moisture and loosen carbon. Neglecting maintenance gambles with reliability—clean or at least lube your gun.
The Double-Stack Micro-9 Hype Part 3: Invented Problems With No Endgame
The entire double-stack micro-9 concept was never about solving a real problem — it was about inventing one so they could sell you the fix. Lighter = more recoil. Upgrades make it print worse. Tariffs and rising costs force cheaper metallurgy. Even the premium HK CC9 (optics-ready, light rail, backstraps, everything the market begged for) is still light, still snappy, and still not worth it. People will never be satisfied because “more” is never enough. Meanwhile, a $200 APX A1 Carry or $300 PPS shoots better, lasts longer, and actually gets carried. The hype is dead.
SHOOTING TO LIVE: THE PRACTICAL TRAINING PROGRAM OF WW2
In WW2, W.E.Fairbairn taught close quarters pistol fighting to the special units of the Allies and recorded his teaching method in the book ‘Shooting to Live’. He developed his pistol lessons by evaluating and honing the instincts of the police officer that is obligated to confront criminals in dark allies. He spent years training police how to survive a gunfight by being faster, using their instincts, and training under fighting conditions as often as possible.
The Double-Stack Micro-9 Hype Part 2: Not-So-Universal Concept
The marketing says double-stack micro-9s are perfect for everyone. Women say otherwise. Smaller hands, less strength, and that punishing snap turn “snappy” into painful — thumb blisters, slide bite, and guns they hate training with. The CSX? Even lighter recoil spring, harder kick, and slide bite for me too. Women love the crisp trigger at first… until the recoil bites back. That’s why so many grab the Beretta APX A1 Carry, Walther PPS, or just go bigger. They want shootability, not hype.
