Legislators may not be calling for an all-out ban on all firearms, but they are taking a death-by-a-thousand-cuts approach. Case in point: The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) recently extended the "temporary" ban on exporting firearms, ammunition, and related components to non-governmental end users in select countries. The Gun Cranks sound off on the impacts we've already seen and what the extension could mean for the future of the firearms industry.

Watching the old become new again is a constant in life. We see it with clothing trends, music, and yes, even guns. Two recent examples come to mind: The resurgence of leverguns and how new, younger shooters are "discovering" revolvers.
In this episode of Gun Cranks, Brent T. Wheat and Roy Huntington share another example — the return of the M16A2-style rifle. But, does new and updated mean better?

The Browning Hi-Power is one of the most revered pistols of all time, and for good reason. But that fact alone apparently isn't enough to stop American Handgunner Editor Tom McHale from committing heresy, prompting the Gun Cranks to dive into the changes and innovations seen in modern high-power firearms and challenging the notion that classics should remain untouched.
Also in this episode, learn how you can find out exactly how old your Buck knife is and see the "Hold My Beer" Award video that left the Cranks begging producer Ashley to hit the stop button.

Where else can you find potable water if you're really in need? What filtration/purification gear do the Cranks keep in their kits? We dive into these questions and more.

The Gun Cranks share their varying experiences from the full-auto machinegun world. Fun or fearsome? They are legal — sort of… assuming you’re OK with spending tens of thousands of dollars and a lifetime’s worth of government regulation. We answer the big questions… What’s the best full-auto fun gun? Will these outrageously expensive pieces of hardware become worthless with some bureaucrat’s stroke of the pen?
