Описание: SHOT Show 2026 Was Different: 10 New Guns That Finally Fixed Real Problems

SHOT Show 2026 didn’t feel like another recycled marketing cycle. It felt like a reset.

This year, manufacturers stopped chasing cosmetic updates, influencer hype, and spec-sheet wars—and started fixing real problems shooters have been complaining about for years. From recoil management and ergonomics to long-term reliability, balance, and shootability under hard use, these firearms were built from experience, not buzzwords.

In this video, we count down 10 firearms from SHOT Show 2026 that genuinely move the needle. These aren’t the flashiest guns or the safest choices. Some of them will divide opinion. A few will upset loyal fanbases. But every pick on this list earned its spot by solving a real mechanical or ergonomic problem instead of hiding it.

From refined legacy platforms to modern designs that finally feel complete, these are the guns that will still matter long after the marketing fades and the internet moves on.

If you care about how firearms actually perform after hundreds or thousands of rounds—not how they look in a thumbnail—this list is for you.
