Live Fire Media Show

Chris Mudgett (founder of EchoCore Suppressors) joins Live Fire Media to explain why he left B&T USA to build his own line of high-performance silencers. We break down EchoCore's game-changing XCR technology, their 1st & 2nd place wins at the 2025 Silencer Summit, reduced back pressure designs, and more.

We also discuss how simple Silencer Shop has made buying NFA items, an optic-mounted rangefinder/ballistic calculator, and the unforgettable "trailer park" booth at SHOT Show.

Luke C rolls in hot to relive the chaos of Moons Out—that badass night vision rifle match where white light is banned and everything’s pitch black. We ran matching HP-15 rifles and geek out on the full kit: optics, IR lasers, NODs, DNT Thermal multispectral madness, IC13 INVRT bandoleers, and every piece of gear that made (or broke) our runs. Hits, misses, what we’d swap next time, and the parts that straight-up ruled. Hunter crashes the party late and as we discuss Gunsite Academy and Thunder Ranch—pistol wizardry, rifle drills, and the kind of training that tur...

In this no-holds-barred episode, we dive deep into the wild world of self-defense, gear, mindset, and the gun community's self-inflicted wounds. We kick things off asking the big question: Should you give OLight a shot? (Pun intended.) Flashlights matter when things go bump in the night—let's break down if OLight's worth your hard-earned cash or if it's just another shiny distraction.

Next up: Concealed carry insurance—specifically US LawShield. Is it actually useful, or just another monthly bill? We weigh the pros (24/7 attorney hotline, criminal/civil defense coverage) against the realities of real-world self-defense scenarios, and how...

We kick off with the Great American Outdoor Show highlights: the Henry Mare's Leg in the X-Model, Taylor's & Co.'s badass short-throw 9mm lever action (including that Space Cowboy version collab), and Whiskey River Antiques loaded with old-school surplus munitions. Then we dive deeper into The Running Man follow-up—turns out Christopher Reeve was originally cast as Ben Richards before major script changes that turned a darker, more book-faithful story into the over-the-top '80s action classic we know. Would it have stuck closer to Stephen King's novel with Superman in the lead? We speculate! We vent about the du...

Buckle up—this might be our longest episode yet, and for good reason. We're joined by my buddy Rob from UpLeviIt, with Nick back in the mix, for a massive deep dive into The Running Man: the classic 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic vs. the brand-new 2025 Edgar Wright remake starring Glen Powell.We break down what makes each version tick, why the original still slaps with its over-the-top '80s energy and media satire, and how the fresh take updates the dystopian game-show concept. From there, we veer into some of our all-time favorite films across genres—because why not turn...

Hunter, Nick and I talk about Colt revolvers with Red Dot’s, if 16” AR’s are still cool, and what guns and ammo would be well suited for using in space!

We recorded this on 9-10-25. RIP Charlie Kirk Yes this one has been released out of order. It’s our way of dealing with the loss of Charlie Kirk. I had more than a few things to discuss. I really wasn’t going to record but Hunter insisted and in the end. I think he was right. As for the out of order release, well its my show so deal with it. Lol. We touch on Concealed Carry, why you should, the extra training you should get and more.
