Looks like that might actually work!  If I had a Wii i’d definitely try it.

New DVD focusing on farm ops.

I thought this video deserved its own post, because of its awesomeness.  I can’t imagine anything cooler than shooting at things out of a helicopter.

The DVD comes out in February.

Hat Tip: SoldierSystems

This video looks absolutely incredible.

That would be one course I would definitely want to take, more so than even the tactical carbine courses they run.

At the very least I will definitely be buying the DVD set when it comes out in Feburary.

• Organizing for a Carbine Class

• Range Accuracy Vs. Battle Marksmanship

• Telescopic Sights and Reality

All 3 articles are definitely worth a read…

Hat Tip: SayUncle

When checking through the boxes of ammo used, we found five or six other cases that had no rim, there was nothing for the extractor to grab hold of and therefore couldn’t extract the spent case causing a malfunction.

WOW that is not good…  This is why it makes sense to give your ammo a quick look over before you use it.  Can you imagine this rimless ammo in a self defense situation? You would almost certainly be dead.  There is no method I know of to quickly clear a casing that can’t even be grabbed by the extractor without using something to poke the casing out from the barrel end.

Will paranoia of this situation bring about a new carry product developed by Speer to fix such a situation?

You chased your floating cereal around the bowl for the last time.

The is where the Aimpoint guys chime in and say “DUDE, if you put a CompM4 on there you would never have to worry about losing power mid-meal for YEARS”

As some of you know, Dick Swan from A.R.M.S is suing LaRue Tactical

“for using the numerals 1 and 7 in our LT-170 mount part number. He filed for and last spring outrageously got a trademark on “#17″ and then he sued us.”

In that AR15.com thread, Mark Larue generously offered to replace ANY broken A.R.M.S. mount with a comparable mount of his own.  FOR FREE!

I thought that was just plain awesome.. but it gets better.

We are hereby offering to replace any A.R.M.S. mount that the owner intentionally breaks the M.I.M. lever off.

As you can imagine, the response is huge!

One example of awesomeness from the thread:

Browsing through the store section of the Springfield Armory website I can only surmise the paradigm of the designers when it came to XD and XD(M) accessories:

We only design stuff that either has a picatinny rail on it, or it attaches to a picatinny rail… NO EXCEPTIONS

Feast your eyes on this:

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.

And Caesar’s spirit, raging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war,
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.

Julius Caesar Act 3, scene 1, 270–275

Looks like they must have hired HK’s marketing guy for this picture:

Problems:

1) Guy in front has his rifle scope on backwards
2) Guy in front has his left arm through the loop in the sling
3) Guy in rear has his sling on in a pretty akward manner considering he’s planning on shooting his sidearm with his right hand

All jokes aside, the clothing acually does look pretty nice.  You can check it out at their website – HERE

Built to military specifications, Battle Mug features a M1913 rail interface system which allows the operator to mount a standard issue M4 carry handle, tactical light, laser device, holographic sight (we call them “beer goggles”) or even a bayonet for close quarters, high risk operations.

Each individually serialized Battle Mug features Mil-Spec Type III anodizing and a crenelated base and is built with the operator in mind. Whether you are fighting drug lords deep inside the jungles of Colombia, stomping out Al Qaida terrorists in Falluja Iraq, or eradicating no-good hippies in Berkeley, California…

Battle Mug is built to take the abuse and will be there to offer you a frosty 24oz. reward once the mission is complete.

MADE IN USA

Available at Hero-Gear for $279 – HERE

The carry handle isnt included.  Isn’t calling it a “Battle Mug” a misnomer then?  Shouldn’t it be a battle glass?

It appears to be around $200 depending on the options you want.

A must have for the tactical Scotsman.  Available in Multicam, ACU, DCU, ABU, Black, and I’m guessing whatever custom color/pattern you want.   Pretty cool how it has built in MOLLE webbing, mag pouches etc..  I still wouldn’t be caught dead wearing one of these, but by the looks of the guys that do wear these, you wouldn’t want to laugh at them!
