If you're a firearms enthusiast and/or a fan of RECOIL, you've probably heard of SHOT Show. It's the largest shooting, hunting, and outdoor trade show in the world, and takes place in the massive Sands Expo Center in the heart of Las Vegas.

The show features 630,000 square feet, over 1,600 exhibitor booths, and 62,000 attendees from all 50 states and 100 countries. It's actually hard to take it all in during the four days the show is open, and it's pretty much the best place to be if you like checking out cool guns and gear.

However, the SHOT Show comes with one caveat: it's not open to the general public. That means you won't be able to get in the door unless you work in the industry and can show the proper credentials. Don't worry, we've got your back—although we can't sneak you into the show with us, we're doing the next best thing.

We're going to fight our way through the crowds all week, so you can see the show through our eyes.

We'll be walking the show with our smartphones in hand, snapping photos of some of the coolest guns, knives, tools, and gear we spot, and it'll all be posted in the gallery below instantly. You can also view the photos directly on our Instagram account, @recoiloffgridmagazine, or by searching for #shotshow2016.
