It seems like paracord is all the rage these days, but it shouldn’t be guys that have all the tactical fun. Sold over at Paraphernalia Gear, they have tops for $25 and bottoms for $20 available in both black and OD green. They make great presents for the missus!
If you want to try and make these yourself or anything else in paracord you can actually get paracord online for cheap.
Actor and icon R. Lee Ermey a.ka.a “The Gunny” pictured above at the 2012 SHOT Show was fired by the insurance company GEICO recently. Ermey was in a really funny GEICO commercial but he has since been let go by the insurance giant supposedly over comments Ermey has made in the past over President Obama. According to Ermey, “If you’re a conservative in this town, you better watch out.”
Aren’t we all entitled to our opinions?
In case you haven’t seen the commercial check it out below:
Maybe this person doesn’t fully understand the four laws of firearms safety, or maybe he took a trip to Israel, whatever the case is the person is trying to pawn off their Asus laptop with eBay. The only issue? It has a bullet hole in it, oh don’t worry the screen works fine.
The best line from the auction listing, “A firearm discharged accidentally while being maintenanced.” Don’t believe the listing that the laptop still works? Here’s a video for you.
Remember our bizarre improvised shotgun loads post from a while back? Well Taofledermaus on YouTube made another video of a crazy shotgun load, this time he used Tic Tacs. Check out the video below, not surprisingly they don’t make the best defense loads.
Having your firearm explode is no fun, especially when someone gets hurt. A Gunnit member posted about his Marlin lever action rifle chambered in .444 Marlin that went kaboom. While it’s not exactly clear what caused the failure, split barrels like that usually are caused from barrel obstructions. He also posted a picture of the damage to his hand, it looks pretty bad so hopefully he makes a full recovery.
Just warning, the picture below is pretty graphic! You can also see other guns go kaboom here. Stay safe everyone.

Here’s a Bubba job on an AR-15 posted over at Bubbagun.com that makes you think, “are people really that dumb?!” The answer is yes, yes they are. Here’s a good reason why you shouldn’t take a Dremel to your gun.
Got $30K to burn? How about dropping it on this M60m machine gun? Not worth it you say? What if I told you it was used in the show Walker Texas Ranger a few times?

With modern machines and technology producing a rifled barrel isn’t that difficult, but how did they make rifled barrels in the 1800s? This animation below shows how the 1853 Robbins & Lawrence machine cut the rifling in gun barrels. It’s actually a pretty interesting and intricate design.

Kim Kardashian and her family got some skeet shooting in while on a recent trip to the Dominican Republic. While the way the way shes holding the shotgun is a fail, the title from the Daily Mail is even more of a fail…”Kim totes a huge rifle gun”. Wait, isn’t a rifle a gun?
We can’t blame our friends from across the pond for not knowing any better, they did have most of their guns taken away from them after all.
