Everyday No Days Off
Make sure to keep an eye on this blog and ENDO Apparel… you never know what will happen next.
Spent shell casings and a blow torch used to create a picture of a famous person that was assassinated:
Obligatory deep meaningful “purpose” statement:
The materials I have chosen to use serve my purpose because of the blatant and emotionally charged response they evoke. These mediums already have a strong mental imagery that is attached to them. Around the world they are still used to either help build dreams or destroy the dreamers. My hope is that you will feel the agony and then see the miracles that can arise from choosing to create rather than destroy.
Now that that’s over with…
According to the contact page he charges $10000 – $25000 for one of these!
Not a bad wage if he’s selling the things! (Be right back… tumbling brass and looking for blow torch.)
You can check out more pictures over at his website Bullet Proof Art.
The gun store guys gripe some more about their customers:
My thoughts:
0:30 – Telling your customer the gun will hold X rounds but then not telling them about the plug, and getting mad when they come back is a dick move.
1:08 – Telling someone to read the manual is condescending, rather than actually helping them in the first place. Everyone knows it’s there if they wanted to use it.
2:25 – Loading rounds in the magazine backwards. hehe what is this H&K?… funny stuff. Not worth making fun of someone over if you run a gun store though.
2:57 – Lady didn’t know she had to pull the trigger to make the gun shoot. Yea that’s kind of dumb.. but again if you don’t like dumb questions you shouldn’t own a gun store or business of any kind that caters to the public.
4:45 – Not being able to figure out how to get into the box of ammo is kind of dumb, but in his defense those boxes are more confusing than a cardboard box.
Towards the end of the video Barry (pictured left) talks about how theoretically the round could fire if you tried to chamber a round that was in the magazine backwards. I was skeptical so I actually just tried this slowly with my G17, and sure enough the round pops up pretty nicely and looks like the primer could strike a corner of the barrel, or even slam into the top of the slide and fire.
Youtuber WeaponsEducation is pissed because he got snubbed by Ed at SHOT:
Weapons Education is like a less annoying Nutnfancy. He takes a while to get to the point, but anyway Ed wouldn’t give him an interview… now here’s my problem, and i’ll partially defend Ed because of it:
At 1:55 Tom from Weapons Education talks about how he gave Ed Brown the old come over here and talk to me cause I’m important fingers, no not a friendly wave, but an arrogant “come here”. Now if I was Ed, that would have pissed me off from the get go too. He’s an old man, not a dog or child.
Where Ed does trip up though is talking shit about the relevance of the Internet. Yea I get it your old, and don’t understand how powerful it is as a business and marketing tool, this is evidenced by your website which coincidentally looks like it could have been made in 1911. Seriously, though rather then telling people that you don’t care about publicity and the internet because your firearms are sold out for the year maybe just politely say you’re not comfortable being on camera. Nothing would be so bad about that. But to tell the whole internet to go to hell? Yea not a great idea.
fxhummel1 has an awesome song about it:
I basically chalk this all up to the fact Ed’s name is on the company he founded, he’s real old, and doesn’t want to give up control. He’s set in his ways and it’s obviously working for him (so far). Ed Brown has some younger blood in his family, so I’m thinking it might be a good move to hand relations (with new media anyway) over to one of them.
According to the contact page he charges $10000 – $25000 for one of these!
It’s pretty clear we have to ban high capacity assault quivers, and automatic assault bows.
That’s one way to get such an unpleasant job done.
