While we are on the topic of office furniture and decorations, I really want to get an inert M18A1 claymore (not a blue training model), and also one of those anti-tank hedgehogs.
Police said 19-year-old gang brother Zhuangren dimension, usually in the mountains more than 10 hotels Wai things put in charge possession of force, at any time ordered to carry weapons to parts of the scenes; within the lake precinct office yesterday morning to Linsen North Road, Suite A search in 7th floor “gun room” seized wheel and 6 rounds of canister-type shotgun, as well as four pistols, one a standard for the Beretta, and the other three for the transformation of the gun, and 15 bullets, blanks 19 made.

black market prices have risen 200000-300000 yuan.
According to currency converters that is equivalent to approximately $6200 – $9300 USD (Thanks for the correction Bill)
Guns must be incredibly hard to get there if that is the going price for a piece of crap like that.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to purchase sixty Remington Model 870 Police RAMAC #24587 12 gauge pump-action shotguns for the Criminal Investigation Division. The Remington parkerized shotguns, with fourteen inch barrel, modified choke, Wilson Combat Ghost Ring rear sight and XS4 Contour Bead front sight, Knoxx Reduced Recoil Adjustable Stock, and Speedfeed ribbed black forend, are designated as the only shotguns authorized for IRS duty based on compatibility with IRS existing shotgun inventory, certified armorer and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts.
I own an 870 Express Magnum with a Knoxx Spec OPS stock (non recoil reduction unit), which is similar to what they are buying. I highly recommend it to everyone.
I’ll have to make sure to do my taxes on time this year.
I don’t know about you guys, but if someone breaks into my house when I’m home I want them DEAD, not tickled by a cute soft ball with tentacles on it.
From the packaging:
“This may be the most intelligent way to defend your family against home intruders.”
Intelligent how? It’s smart to let some scumbag that wants to steal your stuff and/or hurt or intimidate your family survive to do it again another day? Interesting.
I could see its use in Law enforcement for crowd control. But the home defense thing is just laughable in my opinion. The only clear advantage I can see is that you wouldn’t have any collateral damage with this (because there would be NO damage) if 100% of your shot didn’t hit the bad guy.

shot this with a Casio EX-F1 of my shooting my Browning 12 Gauge shotgun. The clips that are at the 4:5 aspect ratio were taken at 300fps. The other clips were filmed at 600fps. All of the footage is raw, no color grading/image adjustment was added. Sadly, the sun was on the left side of the gun, so everything on the right side is in shadow. I couldn’t turn my gun around and shoot the other way though.
Some of my thoughts on Digital SLRs:
The picture on the right, is of the camera that was used to take the footage. Pretty interesting how it is a Digital SLR and not a conventional video camera.
From some recent “behind the scenes” footage I have seen, it seems that a lot of music videos are now being filmed with digital SLRs. They offer manual focus, a plethora of manual adjustment, and high resolution, for much cheaper then you could get a conventional video camera with comparable features. It even comes with a beautiful lens compared to most lenses you would get with video cameras in the same price range.
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.
Hopefully the man behind the trigger ends up being alright.
According to the article, officials say a hand loaded shell may be to blame. My additional theories include the cartridge firing out of battery, or else an obstruction in the barrel very close to the receiver.
This is what the receiver is supposed to look like:
Wow.. this is a SERIOUS vehicle. Not that I’m really surprised:
Defense Accessories:
Equipped with night vision cameras and pump action shotguns. Also armed with tear gas cannons.
That’s what I’m talking about! I wonder if Obama is surgical with that shotgun or what? Those definitely would have been some top secret training visits to the range if he is.
This is how the actual vehicle looks, for those that don’t know:
Most of the pictures I had seen of short barreled shotguns were your typical Mossberg 500 or Remington 870’s… seen one you’ve seen them all.
But then I came across this:
It’s a sawed off Franchi – Renaissance Sporting 12 Gauge. This bad boy sports dual 3″ chambers in an over-under configuration, top notch walnut furniture with well placed cut checkering, a gold-embellished trigger, and lots of engraved scroll work. MSRP – $2249
Here it is in its pure form:
I would love to be able to afford $2249 on a Franchi Renaissance Sporting to do this. The unfortunate reality is that short barreled shotguns lack utility in everything but personal protection and home defense. Spending that much money, only to hack off 50% of the gun, is reserved for those with deep pockets and strong stomachs.
Alliance Armament’s website is actually down now, but I was able to peek at in in google cache and it looks like the Accelerator is a conversion for the Saiga 12, and was selling for $2642.97 and the drum magazine was selling for $379. No telling if that is the current price as well, but hopefully the price will be lower when their site is fixed and goes live.
Officer Safety Bulletin for the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office (training Bulletin # TB-09-003. Dated Feb 23rd, 2009.)
On Feb 22nd, 2009 a patrol Deputy came across the above child’s super soaker. However what was found inside the power soaker was a Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun. Both the shotgun and the water soaker were fully functional.
Hopefully this doesn’t create panic in the law enforcement community which results in kids getting shot over harmless pointing of super soakers at police
No these are not photoshops, they are all available for purchase.
Yes those are muzzle breaks on all them, and Yes those things are meant to counter the effects of recoil and barrel rise.
Why on a .22 LR and a .17 HMR you ask? Good question.. must be due to decades worth of public outcry for some manufacturer to step up to the plate and tame the mighty beast which is rimfire.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more hilarious… I give you the bead sight on the 500 road blocker:
Of course the beat sight resides on the muzzle break because if it was on the barrel where it belongs it would be eclipsed by that massive chuck of metal screwed onto the end of it, and you wouldn’t be able to aim.
All of the guns listed are available on their website – HERE
A Des Moines girl was suspended after school officials said she violated their weapons policy.
Jazmine Martin, 12, brought an empty shotgun shell to school on Monday, a souvenir from a summer vacation to South Dakota. The shell was empty and had the word “blank” written on the front.
Interesting, I looked up “ammunition” in the dictionary for the heck of it and this is the first entry:
The material fired, scattered, dropped, or detonated from any weapon, as bombs or rockets, and esp. shot, shrapnel, bullets, or shells fired by guns
(Reference: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ammunition)
So I suppose by that definition the empty shell would be considered ammunition. What a dumb policy though!
Hopefully that doesn’t ruin that girls chance at getting into university down the road since its on her “permanent record”. My guess is it will be listed on the record as something vague too like “Suspended for a weapon” which obviously looks worse then putting “Brought a shotgun hull to show-and-tell”
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.
