For generations, rifle models first used by soldiers have become profitable sellers in the domestic market. The 1903 bolt-action Springfield adopted by the U.S. Army in World War I begat the wooden-stock rifle carried by generations of deer hunters. The higher-capacity Garand issued to troops in World War II also spawned versions used to hunt big game.
Not only is he using the wrong car, he is using the wrong gun. 22 is alright when you’re 9, but when you’re in a hurry you need one of these. A Heckler & Koch MP5 Machine Pistol.
I’d consider watching the Olympics if they spiced up the events like this:
At the very least I’d like to see higher caliber guns used, longer distances, and even a “production” rifles event, where modified rifles are not allowed.
Watching someone in spandex shoot 50m with an alien looking .22LR does not interest me even the slightest.
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.
I don’t know much about milsurp rifles. Hopefully this is accurate and some of you guys find it useful though:

The picture below shows the rifle itself. Not sure why it’s white and pink. Maybe so it would show up better in dark pictures, not scare the girls, be easier to locate in the crowd?
I don’t know how much drinking was going on at that party, but I wouldn’t want my expensive rifles anywhere near drunk people and/or top floor balconies.

For those of you that though the initial leaked price of approximately $1500 was too good to be true, you were right!
From the recent press release:
Suggested retail price: Basic $2,685 and Enhanced $3,061
The Bushmaster ACR for the commercial market is available in the Basic and Enhanced configurations. The additional features for the Enhanced version include an AAC® Blackout™ NSM Flash Hider for exceptional reduction of muzzle flash; multi-functional, three-sided aluminum hand guard with integral MIL-STD 1913 accessory rail; and folding, six-position telescoping composite stock with rubber butt pad, sling attachment mounts and 2-point push button sling. Each configuration of the commercial ACR is offered in a non-reflective, black finish or Coyote Brown (30118).
I’m sure they will sell enough of them anyway, but at almost double the initial leaked price for the most basic model, a lot of people are going to be angry.
Bushmaster has their ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle) website up with a countdown on it. It will be released on January 18th, which is 1 day before the SHOT show in Las Vegas starts.
What you are looking at is a weapon platform that can shoot around corners with the aid of a hinged receiver, video camera, and monitor. This particular model is fitted with a stuffed cat in order to disguise it as a weapon.
Check out the YouTube video:
AR-15 pistol, 40mm grenade launcher, and Glock corner shots are also available.
I’m not saying the CornerShot isn’t cool.. because it definitely is. It wouldn’t have much utility for the recreational shooter, and judging by the price tag ($7000 – $7500according to an article on their site) I doubt there are too many out there that would buy one for fun.
Found this video on a disk at the airport.
Looks like a promotional video of their ACR to be used at SHOT show.
Whatever it is, it’s pretty awesome.
For those of you that don’t know.. this rifle has changed hands many times before this up and coming release. It first was the Magpul Masada, then Bushmaster bought it and renamed it to the ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle) and is reportedly going to be catering to the commercial marketplace. Remington will be selling a selective-fire version of the ACR to military and law enforcement. Freedom Group Inc. is a large company that owns both Bushmaster and Remington.
The Marines of the USCMC (United States Colonial Marine Corps) famously use the M41A Pulse Rifle as their standard issue weapon, a futuristic assault rifle with a magazine capacity of 95 rounds of armor piercing ammunition with a pump action 30mm grenade launcher underneath the barrel. This weapon was made from a M1 Thompson submachine gun with a Remington 870 shotgun underneath with the shroud and foregrip of a SPAS 12 covering it.
The video below doesn’t show a real pulse rifle… but it is the next best thing.
Composed of a SWD M-11/9 submachine gun and a Remington 870 short barreled shotgun, it holds 50 9mm rounds via a Sumoi “Coffin” magazine and three 12 gauge, 2-3/4″ shells. That’s two in the magazine and one in the chamber. The MAX-41A also includes a red dot sight and digital shot counter, both of which power on with insertion of the magazine, as well as a collapsible stock.
Looks like it will eventually be for sale. More info and lots more pictures – HERE
Pretty awesome that the shot counter works too! Definitely a neat franken-gun.
The Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program, NRA’s groundbreaking gun accident prevention course for children, has surpassed yet another milestone by reaching its 23 millionth child.
The purpose of the Eddie Eagle Program isn’t to teach whether guns are good or bad, but rather to promote the protection and safety of children. The program makes no value judgments about firearms, and no firearms are ever used in the program. Like swimming pools, electrical outlets, matchbooks and household poison, they’re treated simply as a fact of everyday life. With firearms found in about half of all American households, it’s a stance that makes sense.
Eddie Eagle is never shown touching a firearm, and he does not promote firearm ownership or use. The program prohibits the use of Eddie Eagle mascots anywhere that guns are present. The Eddie Eagle Program has no agenda other than accident prevention — ensuring that children stay safe should they encounter a gun. The program never mentions the NRA. Nor does it encourage children to buy guns or to become NRA members. The NRA does not receive any appropriations from Congress, nor is it a trade organization. It is not affiliated with any firearm or ammunition manufacturers or with any businesses that deal in guns and ammunition. (Source: National Rifle Association)
Although it would be impossible to really know how many lives this program has saved, I’m sure the number is huge.
) rounds through them!
too bad its a hoax
