Butchered German K98 Rifle
Wow, I can’t even begin to describe how awful this is. Making a Hello Kitty AR-15 is one thing, but butchering a historical rifle is another.

London 2012 Olympics Shooting Venue
The London 2012 Olympics Shooting Venue is pretty darn cool looking, and for a country that heavily restricts gun ownership I’m really impressed at how elaborate their range is. The exterior of the shooting venue is covered with what look like octopus tentacles and was designed by Magma Architecture out of London and Berlin, those tentacles are actually functional too. They help ventilate the building and help create tension nodes for the steel structure under the venue’s white skin. The venue is actually made out of three temporary PVC tents that were assembled at London’s historic Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich. They’ll be dismantled after the games are over however, but they’re set to be used at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland in 2014 as well.
Assault Rifles & Carbines Poster
The other day I posted this cool cartridge comparison poster, well today I just stumbled upon this even cooler assault rifles & carbines poster. the 24″ x 36″ poster has many of the various assault rifles, carbines and submachine guns used around the world. From all the AR and AK variants to FALs and even the German STG-44 from WWII. In case you’re running out of room on your wall from all the posters I keep posting, they even have a smaller 11″ x 17″ version as well too.

LaRue Increases Their Prices
Posted over at TheFirearmBlog, it looks like LaRue is increasing their prices across the board. They’re blaming their higher prices on inflation, or is it really the looming election?
Gilboa Snake Double Barrel AR-15
Remember the Silver Shadow double-barreled AR-15 from Israel? Well it looks like official pics and some info of the new Gilboa Snake double-barreled AR have finally been released. From what we can gather the Gilboa Snake will fire from both barrels at the same time with a single trigger pull and will be available in both semi-auto (which fires two rounds per pull) and in full auto. The Gilboa Snake weights in at 9.4lbs with both barrels coming in at 9.5″ each. No word on if they will be imported into the U.S., but if I had to guess I would highly doubt it.
12 Gauge Shot Glasses
Two of the things I’m really passionate about are guns (duh!), and whiskey. But rarely do the two mix, for good reason, until now. This is probably the only time you would want anything to do with a shotgun shell getting anywhere close to your face, these 12 Gauge Shotgun Shell Shot Glasses come in a set of four and make the perfect gift for the boozehound and gun enthusiast in your life.

DeWalt Glock Power Tool
Remember the DeWalt and Milwaukee AR-15s I posted about a while back? Well it looks like there’s now a Glock DeWalt power tool out now, which is fitting because when many people mention guns as simply a tool the Glock is up there on that list of tools. Just like the power tool AR-15s, these aren’t really power tools, posted over at GlockForum, the fellas over at Allen Arms Indoor Range out of Greenville, South Carolina are responsible for this Glock drill.
View Inside An AR-15
I’m guessing there’s no barrel attached to the upper receiver, or buffer tube spring. Awesome picture nonetheless.
