The August issue of S.W.A.T. Magazine has already shipped to subscribers and will hit newsstands everywhere July 7.

One of the best ways to evaluate a firearm and find any problems, including it going completely Tango Uniform, is to put it through a high-round-count course. Find out how the LWRC IC-A5 rifle fared after a 1,200-round course at Gunsite.

Those who work in law enforcement and emergency services deal with the almost mystical substance known as adrenaline. A lot. Of course, all humans have experience with this bodily produced drug, some more than others. We take a close look at adrenaline and the effects it can have on our bodies.

The Internet is full of stories from people who say the rifle they put together on their kitchen table is "just as good as any other AR-15." Problems arise if the overriding concerns are saving money and putting it together as cheaply as possible. In the August issue, we assemble a gun from quality parts, resulting in a carbine that can be run hard in a class or depended on to save the lives of loved ones.

With drones, handheld thermals, seismic sensors, and cameras on every street corner, we might think the woodland tactics of tracking and land navigation are in the past. But modern technology often fails to deliver when tracking a fugitive in the woodland environment.

In other features, we build a spitting image of an M14 using a Mini-14 and aftermarket accessories, attend an armorer course for the increasingly popular Tavor, and take a new look at long-range handgun shooting. All this and more, including S.W.A.T.'s must-read columns.
