GnZ could not make SHOT Show this year but we won’t let that stop us. We can take a look at the new products with our feet firmly up and a single malt in hand..

TOPS Knives – El Chappo Cleaver
We have seen alot of Cleaver shape blades enter the field cutlery market recently. Most have been of the small, cute, novelty folding variety. They make for fun little EDCs. Tops had something a little more functional in mind.. The Tops El Chappo.
Tops have been making field cutlery since 1998. They have an extensive……
Mechanix 0.5mm High Dexterity Tactical Gloves
If you do a lot of shooting in all environments you will no doubt wear gloves or have tried some. If you have ever scraped your hand along Picatinny rails when it’s -5c then you will know why gloves can be a sensible option. My main issue with gloves when using a Precision Rifle has……
Terminal Ballistics – Air Rifle Pellets
In the UK Air Rifles and Pistols are incredibly popular. This is largely down to three reasons. They are cheap to buy and run, they are ideal for dealing with common small pest species and last of all they are not as heavily regulated as section 1 firearms (power and location dependant). Many of us……
Sniper Solutions – Wind Finder
We have moved into a time where nearly every variable the long range shooter has to contend with can be calculated digitally. We have scopes with built in range finders, phones which can measure pressure, inclination, temperature. And of course we have ballistic calculators. Although companies have tried there is one variable that has proven……
The best hunting knife in the world? Fallkniven PHK..
I used to think I didn’t need a dedicated hunting knife. Most medium fixed blades and a few folders have served me well in a dual role capacity. Most of those knives were designed for basic woods use. They tend to be designed for chopping wood and other camp style tasks. The blade geometry tends……

Why would I know anything about POI shift? I work as a Ballistics Engineer and pro shooter. I spend a lot of time on ranges firing a variety of weapons. Not only do we conduct firings for new developments but also proof production runs for accuracy. This allows me to gather a lot of data……
Ruike M51 Multifunction Knife
Previous to my dalliance with the Ruike M51 I had a yearning for multifunctional knives. At 9yrs old I was already the proud owner of a slip joint pen knife emblazoned with Disney’s Goofy on the scale. The knife went everywhere with me as I explored the wooded areas around the local neighbourhood with my……
Sniper Solutions – Sniper Hider
If you have ever shot scoped rifles in direct sunlight you will be aware that it can sometimes be a big problem. It can be a struggle to see anything with glare on the lens. Scope manufacturers will often sell a tube which screws onto the front of the scope. These act as a sunshade……
MecArmy X7S multifunction EDC
During my trip to SHOT 18 earlier this year I spent quite a bit of time trying to find products and companies that might interest GnZ readers. One of the Exhibitors that caught my eye was a new name to me – MecArmy. They had some beautifully crafted EDC items which were drawing admiration and……
