American Rifleman TV heads to Springfield, Mass., to examine the evolution of the Smith & Wesson M&P series of pistols, which are used widely in law enforcement, competition and for personal protection. 



"Rifleman Review" takes a look at the Inland Manufacturing recreation of the World War II-era M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine.



And "I Have This Old Gun" looks at the U.S. Army service rifle, the M16A2.
