[1] [2] After releasing the EP, Shelton expanded the project to include Nick Cogan and William Acuña on guitar, Max Epstein on bass, and Vince Nguyen on drums. [1]

Militarie Gun released their second EP in June 2021 titled All Roads Lead to the Gun, and their third EP All Roads Lead to the Gun II in September 2021. [3] A deluxe edition combining the two EPs was released in 2022. [4] In 2023, Militarie Gun released a new song titled "Do It Faster". [5] The band released a music video alongside the new song. [6]
