Firestorm: How To Handle & Fire Fully Automatic Weapons
The well known former Soldier of Fortune Magazine editor in chief, Peter G. Kokalis passed away in January of this year. He was a prolific writer for a variety of magazines and journals over his very long and well documented career. In addition to articles published in SOF, Small Arms Review, and Firearms News (formerly Shotgun News), my personal favorite of the magazines he worked on in the early 1990s was Fighting Firearms.
After his death, I recalled I had a VHS copy of a video produced in the late 1980s called Firestorm: How To Handle & Fire Fully Automatic Weapons. The video showcases a variety of firearms and firing techniques for subguns, assault rifles, and belt-fed machine guns. Part informational instruction video and part entertainment, the video gave viewers to see a few unusual firearms at the time, such as the VZ 58 and the Mauser Schnellfeuer. The source of the video is from a older VHS tape. DVD transfers exist and are available. Regardless of what you thought of him, Kokalis was a library of knowledge about weapons and wrote some exceptionally technical articles.
