While this isn’t the first time we’ve posted about artwork made out of guns or ammo, these lil’ guys are pretty cool looking. Created by Tom Hardwidge on the other side of the pond, Arthrobots are arthropod sculptures and are based more or less on real deal insects. Check out the collection at Arthrobots.com.
While this isn’t the only case where a shotgun was hidden in a water gun, it looks like more and more criminals are catching wind of this mod.
Shotguns are very versatile guns, they shoot a vast array of loads and calibers. But what makes shotguns so fun is all the bizarre loads you can come up with, that’s what these guys did. They used everything from emtpy .22LR shells, duct tape, pieces of coat hangers, flat washers, computer screws and dimes. Check it out below:

The Kel-Tec KSG shotgun is a pretty compact shotgun, but Kel-tec just had to make it even shorter. The new 12-shot KSG Shortie comes in at just 16.1″s and was designed to be used in tight spaces such as police cruisers, hallways etc. They’ll be available to the public with a $200 tax stamp, good luck getting one however. Seeing how popular the new KSGs are I’m sure the waiting list is quite long.

Theodore Roosevelt was quite the man, he’s definitely one of my favorite US presidents and historical figures. He was a man’s man, a hunter, gun collector, soldier and overall a bad ass. Guns.com recently posted about President Roosevelt’s custom Winchester at an upcoming exhibit dedicated to Teddy Roosevelt at the National Firearms Museum. Roosevelt called the above Winchester Model 1894 “Little .30”, it was chambered in the then new .30-.30 Winchester cartridge and had a Maxim silencer attached to a threaded barrel. Teddy definetly had good taste. Read more about it at Guns.com.

I’m officially jealous, check out the video of a full-auto M16 lower + a 300 AAC Blackout Upper along with a AAC 762-SD silencer in action to find out why.
In case your arsenal of tactical goodies isn’t complete, maybe this tactical bolt-action pen will round out your collection. They’re available in both Tactical Black and in Tactical Titanium, they’re made of aluminum and are CNC-Milled down to a .45 cal diameter, because pens any smaller than .45 just won’t do. Amirite guys?

Picking what kind of gun to use for home defense can be debated from now into eternity. For some a handgun makes sense, while others may prefer a shotgun or even a rifle. It all depends on your situation, your home and its layout, whether you have children in the house and so forth.
Personally I’m a fan of using a handgun for self-defense, but I can see the case for a trusty pump-action shotgun in the right circumstances. But what do I know? I’m just a lowly gun blogger and enthusiast. However I stumbled upon a recent interview of Chris Costa over at Rem870.com where he talks about his gun of choice for home defense.
“My home defense gun is a handgun”
