Designed, fabricated and tested by Brunswick for the U.S. Army MIRADCOM to provide the non-dedicated riflemen with a lightweight, portable assault weapon system to defeat enemy positions in an urban and fortified combat environment.
RAW Launcher attaches to the muzzle of an M-16A1 rifle utilizing existing triggering and sights. The RAW projectile is initiated through the firing of a standard 5.56 mm ball round of ammunition. RAW does not interfere or prevent the firing of the rifle’s standard ammunition at any time. Raw produces a 14″ hole through 8 inches of double reinforced concrete and defeats light armor. Since RAW travels line of sight, It can be fired from below a canopy or in sewers and storm drains. RAW produces minimal back blast pressure and noise and can be fired from within enclosed areas.
The media would definitely dub this an evil “Assault Nagant”
This conversion was done on a Finnish m27 in order to increase the rifle’s capacity from 5 to 20 rounds. There is no information provided on whether the magazine is detachable.
The Special Assault Rifle “Val” is used by Russian spec-ops. It uses proprietary armor piercing ammo and has an integrated silencer. It’s the terror of terrorists… and icicles.

Apparently this “limited” release vodka and souvenir AK-47 shaped bottle has been around for a while. Today was the first time I had ever seen or heard of it.
It comes in a cardboard box, with a wooden carrying case inside (pictured). The bottle itself contains 1 liter of vodka, and attached is a dog tag with a number (1-13000) representing the ID number of your bottle.
The bottle would definitely be a neat collectors item. A google search yeilds no clear results on the price or where it’s available stateside.

Tommy Guns Vodka
The bottle in this case of course is shaped like a Tommy gun. It is readily available in the US for around $50.
If you are reading this and you live in Canada… it’s not a good idea to point a bottle of either one of these at the police. You will be arrested.
EDMONTON — Edmonton police say they’ve arrested a 24-year-old suspect after a man pointed what turned out to be a machine gun-shaped liquor bottle at an officer conducting a traffic stop Friday night.Around 11 p.m., police say a second officer noticed a man in a nearby house pointing what looked like a long barreled gun at the officer doing the traffic stop.
More officers were called in and the home was surrounded.
Several people inside the house eventually surrendered peacefully.
Police then discovered that it wasn’t a real weapon that had been pointed at the officer – it was a liquor bottle made in the shape of a gun.
Jessie Shamarchi Petrin, 24, was charged with possession of an imitation weapon dangerous to the public peace.
If the first amendment was treated like the second amendment…
Any speech using 10 or more foreign words would be a felony. (Firearm law 922(r) restricting 10 or more foreign gun parts from the 1989 import ban)
Anyone convicted of a felony or convicted of misdemeanor domestic abuse or assault is not allowed freedom of speech or religion and must rely on the government to provide speech and religion for them. (1968 gun control act)
Any speech or religions that are done in a scary tone or feel are banned. Any assembly that looks scary is banned. (1994 Federal Assault Weapon Ban that went after mostly cosmetic features)
Before engaging in new free speech you must pass an instant background check by a government authorized free speech dealer. Sorry, if your name is like someone else prohibited from speech and religion, it is up to you to prove you’re not that person. (NICS instant background check and Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993)
Any speech or work with more than 10 sentences per page is forbidden, any peaceable assembly with more than 10 people is also banned. (Hi-Capacity Magazine bans in the Assault Weapon Ban and in many states to this day)
‘Freedom of Speech’ was only meant to be applicable to movable type presses. The founding fathers didn’t foresee television, radio, photographs, telephones, film, or the internet. (The idea that the 2nd amendment only applies to muskets)
You cannot exercise free speech or religion on federal property or at a school. (Section 930. Title 18, United States Code and the Gun Free School Zone Act of 1990)
Any religions, peaceable assemblies, camera, computer, telephone or free speech enabling device made before 1986 is available to use by the general public. Any made after 1986 is only available to law enforcement. (Closing of the NFA machine gun registry in 1986 by Regan with the Firearms Owner’s Protection Act)
A legal Polaroid camera from 1972 is now worth over $10,000 because you can’t get any new ones after 1986. Sure you can get an illegal one, but you risk a 10-20 year felony conviction if caught. (Market effects of the 1986 registry closure)
You can follow any religion, read any book, talk about whatever you like AFTER you pay a $200 tax to the government and pass a background check. If you decide to buy more books, try another religion, or talk about something else, you must pay another $200 and go through another lengthy background check. (National Firearm Act of 1934)
You CANNOT have free speech no matter what in Washington DC, it has been this way since 1977. (Washington DC handgun ban)
Concealing free speech/religion is only permissible in some states and only after you have spent $100 and attended a state mandated course on how to speak/worship properly. Though in some states you can’t conceal or display your speech or religion at all outside of your home. (Conceal Carry Legislation and open carry laws)
You cannot have free speech if you are under 18 and you can’t worship anything until you are 21. (Age restrictions on buying long guns and handguns)
If you wish to exchange free speech with a citizen in another state you must involve a government sanctioned free speech dealer to ensure they are allowed that type of free speech in their state. (1968 Gun Control Act which mandates a FFL be needed for interstate gun purchases and transfers)
SEATTLE – A group of University Of Washington students are being called vigilantes after they armed themselves with handguns and tried to set up patrols on University Avenue and other areas around campus where students have been attacked over the past year.
I hope this works out for them, but without any training at all, walking around looking for trouble just spells disaster in my mind. I can just picture someone trying to mug one of them and the entire street gets lit up because one of those hot shots in the video that’s all amped up with a hunger for revenge decides to pull out his concealed weapon and proceeds to dump the mag, bullets flying in every direction.
Unlike the Japanese one I posted, this one is not about distance shooting. This one is in a “side profile” style where you get to pick from tons of different pistols, revolver, SMG’s, Rifles, Assault Rifles, and shotguns.
