Why a new sidearm replacement is a big deal to the troops

Firearms technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the last 20 years. While civilians and law enforcement have taken advantage of new designs, the military hasn't been as quick to adjust. In this episode of the Mandatory Fun podcast we discuss the military’s plans to find a pistol replacement, the role of today’s battle rifles, and why ammo matters. Hosted by: Blake Stilwell: Air Force veteran and Managing Editor Tracy Woodward: Benevolent smartass and Social Media coordinator Orvelin Valle (AKA O.V.): Navy veteran and Podcast Producer Guest: Christian Lowe: Executive Editor at We Are The Mighty
