Artificial Shoulder Pocket Weapon Stabilization

Vigilant Spectre tests it… Best part is all the voices LOL:

Skip to 1:32 for the voices/characters, haha awesome stuff. 3:56 is by far the greatest one.

Not sure why they changed the name from “Advanced Shoulder Pocket” (which I blogged about before), to the new name “Artificial”? I was like I DON’T HAVE AN ARTIFICIAL SHOULDER THO! My stance on this product is the same. It looks to me like a good idea if you’re wearing body armor.

The company which makes it is called Asymmetric Technologies, if you want to take a further look.

Thoughts?

Patriot Defensive Tactics – Training In Advanced Forward Rolls

So advanced, most of you probably wouldn’t understand:

Patriot Defensive Tactics‘ instructor Bill Vasser is crazy for this one. If you want to train with him, click the link and holla at a playa on Facebook.

The only part of the video worth watching is that first 17 seconds. After that it’s POV, and boring as hell. Well, the POV roll at 1:43 is worth a LOL at least.

Thoughts? Will 2015 be the year of the forward roll?

Gat tip: HighCapacityTV, no uno

DARPA Advanced Sighting System – One Shot Sniper

The DARPA “One Shot” program at the Pentagon was originally aimed to give snipers the power to hit a target from 2000 meters away in winds as high as 40 miles per hour. In the first phases of the 3-year-old program, shooters used prototype rifles dressed with lasers and fancy computer hardware to do damage from 1,100 meters away in 18-mile-an-hour winds. The scope-mounted lasers can “see” wind turbulence in the path of the bullet and feed the data to computers, enabling real-time calculation of — and compensation for — the wind-blown trajectory. The agency is looking for 15 ultra precise sniper scopes to put in shooters’ hands by next year.

Full Story – Wired

More info at DARPA – HERE

I wonder when this will be coming to the consumer market? :P On second thought, hitting the target every time with no effort would completely take the fun out of shooting.

The article in Wired mentions the cost at $7 million…. that seems like a steal of a deal if they can actually get this type of system to work for that amount of money. A lot of lives potentially will be saved.

Trijicon Jesus Rifles May Be Around For A While

More than two months after an ABC News report that rifle scopes used by U.S. soldiers are inscribed with secret Biblical references, troops in Afghanistan and Iraq are still carrying the so-called Jesus rifles – and the U.S. military says it could take a year to remove the Bible codes from all its weapons. (ABC News source)

A year? I wonder how many millions of dollars this will cost. :roll: COME ON…

These aren’t your average cheap rifle scopes. If they want the verse removed just tell the soldiers to take a rock, screwdriver etc.. to the inscription. Or make one guy in every unit, in charge of the task. Problem Solved. It’s not like the lettering stands more than a couple hundredths of an inch high. You just would have to be careful not to scratch off the serial number.

I talked about the story when it first surfaced in January on a post called Trijicon – Religious Aiming Solutions which got quite a bit of attention on forums for the photoshop I did.

Bushmaster ACR Now Available To The Public

Seems like overnight, The Bushmaster ACR is now available to the public.

A search of gunbroker results in 3 auctions where. All of which are currently under $3000.

I even watched one end earlier today for $2800 (HERE)

The big question on my mind is, now that the Bushmaster ACR seems to be readily available… what is going to happen with Jesse James’ rifle?

He is the guy that won the first ACR in a silent auction (Details Here) then proceeded to put it up on gunbroker with a starting bid of $8500… only to have it bid up to its current price of $16000. There are 2 days and 21 hours left in his 14 day auction, and the reserve still isn’t met.

Oh what a difference 2 weeks can make. All I can say is that I hope he had some sort contract with that wealthy private collector, because otherwise he really shit the bed on this one. I guess if worse comes to worse he can always just keep the rifle and his unfortunate lesson in economics.

I think Jesse follows the blog, because he commented on the last post. Hopefully he can chime in and let us know what the deal is.

Bushmaster ACR on Gunbroker – And you thought the MSRP was bad?

Looks like Jesse James, the winner of the first Bushmaster ACR released to a civilian, decided he needs money more than the gun:

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=161198693

He looks happy in that picture, but not as happy as I bet he is now.

Oh if only I would have followed his 3 steps to success:

1) Attend AAC Silencer Shoot

2) Place bid on Bushmaster ACR silent auction

3) Win and PROFIT

The current bid on Gunbroker is $15,000!

Pretty sweet profit so far considering Bushmaster’s MSRP is $3061

No telling what the bid will be up to closer to the auction end date of May 30.

I don’t know how much he actually paid for the ACR in the silent auction, but the post on Advanced Armament’s Blog states that $7500 was raised during the auction. Considering the Bushmaster ACR was not the only product in the silent auction, I think its safe to say that at the current bid, Jesse is already more than doubling his money. On top of that, the auction doesn’t even include the sweet AimPoint CompM4 and Suppressor that came on his ACR!!!!

According to the details in the auction:

As part of an agreement with a large private collector, I am offering this rifle to the General Public before it is stored in a large walk-in safe forever. This rifle is being offered to the General Public for a ONE TIME ONLY event, once this auction has ended the rifle will be either turned over to the Winning Bidder, or it will go to the private collector. The reserve is set at the private collector’s firm offer. If the reserve is beat, the rifle will go to the winning bidder.

I hate to think what the reserve price is!

Anyone feeling generous? Email me if you want my FFL info :P
