Bleecker Street Publications Launches RottenGunReviews.com

Southfield, MI — Bleecker Street Publications is proud to announce the launch of RottenGunReviews.com. The first community-driven firearm review platform built for shooters, by shooters. Designed to be the go-to hub for honest, user-generated reviews, Rotten Gun Reviews gives everyday gun owners the chance to share their real-world experiences alongside expert evaluations from Bleecker Street’s trusted contributors.

New Era of Firearm Reviews

For nearly every consumer product on the internet, from toasters to trucks, user reviews help buyers make informed decisions. But in the firearms world, real user feedback has been largely missing. Until now.

Rotten Gun Reviews changes that by putting the power directly in the hands of the shooting community. Each firearm page starts with a detailed, professional review from one of Bleecker Street’s vetted writers. From there, readers can register, rate, and write their own reviews; creating a dynamic, community-driven rating system that reflects real opinions from real shooters.

The platform currently covers handguns, rifles, shotguns, and suppressors, with optics, knives, and accessories soon to follow. Whether a firearm deserves high praise or a tongue-in-cheek roast, Rotten Gun Reviews gives every shooter a voice.

Built on a Foundation of Growth

Rotten Gun Reviews marks another milestone in Bleecker Street Publications continued commitment to enhancing the reader experience across its family of brands.

Recent updates to AthlonOutdoors.com include faster load times, a sleek dark mode for night readers, and higher-quality imagery paired with an expanded publishing schedule.

Athlon has also recently debuted SkillsetMag.com to spotlight the bold lifestyle content from Ben Tirpak and his team, and relaunched the legendary TacticalKnives.com under the leadership of longtime knife editor Joshua Swanagon.

Meanwhile, in response to YouTube restrictions on firearm and hunting-related content, Bleecker Street introduced OpenAirMedia.com. Its very own video hosting platform for unrestricted access to trusted firearm and outdoor content.

Empowering a Growing Community

With over 50 expert contributors and new reviews added weekly, Rotten Gun Reviews is built to serve the entire firearm community; from seasoned shooters to the 6 million new gun owners who’ve joined the ranks in recent years. Bleecker Street’s mission remains clear: to create the most trusted home for firearm education, product reviews, and real-world insight.

Readers are encouraged to explore the site, share their experiences, and help shape the next generation of firearm reviews. For those interested in contributing more formally, Bleecker Street Publication is actively seeking new writers passionate about firearms and the shooting lifestyle.

As Athlon Outdoors heads toward its annual Ballistic Best Awards and the upcoming SHOT Show season, Rotten Gun Reviews stands as the next step in building a transparent, informed, and engaged firearm community.

Visit RottenGunReviews.com today to make your voice heard and help build the most

powerful, community-driven firearm review platform on the web.
