NEW MEMBERS: Stop in and say hello!

[m24shooter]

Glad to have you guys with us.

yeah, I've been lurking on the site for a while but just joined yesterday. It's a great place you've got here.

[Mike]

Finally I registered, being a long-time lurker around here.

Hi guys,

my name is Mike and I'm from Germany.

Why am I here?

First of all I have a personal interest in guns, gear and affiliated equipment.
So this is the place to be.

After more than a decade in contact with the german side of the industry I was offered the position as technical editor for a german speaking publication that was established just a year ago by a friend of mine. Of course I accepted, helping him to get on track with his project - which is a lot of work but fun nonetheless.

We publish "Kommando - International Special Operations Magazine" which is distributed in german-speaking Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxemburg, Liechtenstein). We cover the worlds elite military and law enforcement special operation units in a high quality publication format, using mostly never-before-published, high quality imagery. As already said I hold the position as the technical editor of the magazine and specialize in doing features about armament, weapons and affiliated equipment.

Just a bit about my background:

My main occupation is as an engineer with a big german corp.

My military career started as a draftee, after that went into Army Reserve where I am pretty active acting as a shooting instructor e.g..

On the sideline I do contract security work, actually being one of the few in Germany with a carry permit (plus some more). Although that suffers a bit when time has to be divided between occupations, there are just so few hours in a day...


I hope that I can learn from you guys.

And I will try to contribute to the forums as this is one of the few places out there on the internet that is really refreshing, keeping bullshit to the minimum, maximising content, news and interesting information. After reading-only here for quite a while, I really feel comfortable. Kudos to the founders and members. Please keep it that way!
