There’s been some crazy stuff happening across the globe ever since the virus. Is the end-of-times near, or are we just at the beginning of a new world order where it’s every man for himself? With all the doom out there we decided to bring the boom with the February/March issue of Ballistic!

As loyal Ballistic readers know, each issue typically features two different covers—one for subscribers and one for the newsstand audience. This month’s subscribers will receive our  “Doomsday Defender” cover featuring content creator Kendl Wong decked out Mad Max-style for the “Ballistic Custom Challenge Giveaway” Fabarm STF/12. Not to be outdone, our newsstand version shows off the “double-boom” Nighthawk Custom Global Response Pistol chambered in Federal’s new—and what we think is groundbreaking—30 Super Carry cartridge. The 30 Super Carry carries like a .380 ACP, but pounds out the hits like a 9mm.

In this issue, Sean Utley reviews Gilboa’s two-headed snake—is it the real deal or really ridiculous? Author Frank Melloni taps EOTech for some new glass to take on Texas-sized turkeys, sheep, coyotes and prairie dogs while road warrior Scott Baxter takes the “creepy” white Dodge van and gives it a tacti-cool makeover.

Oh and did we mention we got a mascot… What are you waiting for? Pick up your copy today!
