CONNEAUT, Ohio – Michelle Pryor said early Monday morning their German shepherd Sirus began barking so she let him out and was stunned when she heard gunfire outside the home. Sirus got shot in the chest and on the muzzle between his eyes.
The dog sure doesn’t look any worse for wear in the video, I’m he is alright!
It’s stories like this that make me wish I had a dog. German shepherds are my absolute favorite. I’d have a couple of them in a heartbeat if I had a big yard for them to stay in.
Have any of your dogs helped you in a similar incident?
Miguel Caballero makes fashionable lightweight bulletproof clothing designed for the world’s elite.
A reporter from VBS.tv goes to Bogota Colombia for a tour of their factory, and gets shot with a revolver from about 1 foot away while wearing one of their jackets.
“I shoot all my employees” says Miguel. It’s an initiation if you are an employee.
Sounds like a pretty good idea to me, although some of it does look a bit bulky. Any protection at all beats no protection, and that clothing would definitely save some lives.
From my point of view, what happened at S&W was pure greed. After a blockbuster year thanks to Obama, they still needed more money, and were willing breaking the law to get more of it. Without personally knowing the inner workings of S&W, I can say with confidence that they have numerous lawyers, all of which would know better then to say bribery would be a good thing for the company.
I do agree with John on the ridiculousness of the following:
“Let’s see, at $75,000 a year, it’s $6,250 a month per agent,” he calculates. “$6250 x 30 months = $187,500 per agent. $187,500 x 250 agents = $46,875,000 to arrest 22 people.”
Voila! That’s $46.875 million of your tax money to arrest 22 people, or more than $2.1 million each.
If FBI agents really do make $75k /year and all 250 of them were working solely on this sting, then that is a crazy amount of money. It would definitely work out to much more than $2.1 million if you factored in expenses besides just their salaries.
I’ll take this opportunity to make the same joke as I did in my last post:
If you are sympathetic towards S&W, buy some handcuffs – HERE
Reuters coverage of the S&W SHOT show incident – HERE
I didn’t blog about the SHOT show, or reply to very many comments yesterday because I was busy making this:
With his trip to the 2010 Las Vegas SHOT show a day away, Hitler gets angry when he finds out he was not notified of the reality regarding the 4th Generation Glock models.
Hopefully you guys have as much fun watching it, as I did making it.
I’d really appreciate if you would subscribe to my YouTube channel.
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.
This guy sets out to prove whether or not grabbing the slide of an auto pistol in a close quarters gun fight would disable the gun by causing it not to cycle.
It takes four and a half minutes, some sarcasm, humor, and blood. And the result? It is proven that you can in fact cause a gun not to cycle by grabbing the slide when a round is fired.
Definitely good to know, because it would sure beat getting shot… I don’t think I’ll be trying this any time soon though.
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.
Since it was in a war zone, and judging by the size of the wound, I would guess the damage was done by either a 5.56mm or a 7.62mm. It entered the middle of his neck, and then possibly came out about an inch later, then went back in, only to exit again creating the large wound channel. The wound in the middle though might not be related.
Zooming in on the wound *Click Here GRAPHIC PICTURE* , it definitely looks like it opened up into his chest cavity. It’s a miracle that his heart (considering it’s on the left side) or lungs were not damaged enough to kill him.
2) Say Uncle posted an article today titled do not try to catch a dropped gun, where a guy got shot with a 45-70 and was apparently not in that bad of shape because it ended up being a really bad flesh wound.
This guy and a buddy were sighting their rifles in. One of the guns was leaned up against the 4 wheeler he was standing on. The gun started to fall and I’m not sure if his buddy grabbed it, or something on the bike caught the trigger. Either way, he caught a 325 grain .45-70 round right under the collar bone. I think it goes with out being said, how lucky he is to still be here.
The big hole around his shoulder blade is where the bullet entered and it traveled under his skin and exited right there on his neck, above his spinal cord! -LINK
