Remember the classic Nintendo Zapper Gun Kydex holster from the other day? Here’s another unique Kydex holster, this one is for the boozers like me out there. Available over on Etsy for $45, it also comes with the flask! Just add your favorite spirit. I’d probably not use it at your next pistol class or range session, perfect for the bug out bag!
The guys over at Monderno posted a pretty good review of the Howard Leight Impact Sport Electronic Earmuffs. I own a pair of them and they’re actually pretty darn good for the price. In my experience they function just as well as electronic earmuffs over double the price. They can be found for under $50 shipped online.
A guy in Washington D.C. purchased an HDTV on Amazon.com, nothing out of the ordinary there. But instead of his TV, he got a Sig Sauer 716 “army-style assault rifle”. Reported (and over-dramatized) by MyFoxDC.com, Seth Horvitz ordered his TV from a third-party through Amazon. The shipping label on the box had his name and correct address, but the invoice within the box said that the rifle was supposed to be shipped to a gun shop in Pennsylvania. Horvitz called the cops who confiscated the rifle.
Of course the fools at the Brady Campaign had to put their two cents in…
“Clearly, it’s a dangerous situation in America when assault weapons are so prevalent and can so easily end up in the wrong hands, especially given that the rifle was left on the doorstep. Thank goodness, Mr. Horvitz and his wife alerted the Metropolitan police right away. This mishap could have led to another tragedy.”
Shipping mix-ups happen, we’re only human. I’m interested in knowing who this third-party is that sells HDTVs and guns!
Check out these oldschool Colt AR-15 ads, if you fired your AR-15 like that now you’d probably get laughed off the range. Remember these classic gun ads from a while back? I wish I was around back then, looks at those prices!
In case you’re trying to live off the radar or you’re scared of the guvment tracking you via microstamping. Here’s a way you can make a firing pin for your AR-15 out of a double-headed nail.
One of the biggest negatives listing in the AR vs AK debate is the AK-47’s shorter sight radius. Well a member over on Reddit posted an interesting picture comparing the sight radius of an AK variant rifle and a carbine length AR-15. Looks pretty even to me.
To be fair a mid-length or rifle AR upper would have a longer sight radius so you could still use the AK’s shorter radius vs the AR as a valid argument. This just goes to show however that it’s not that the AK has such a shorter sight radius than the AR-15 (it’s still a pretty darn short radius in general), it’s the fact that the AK’s rear sight is located so far forward.
Is this a deal breaker for those choosing between the two? Honestly to me it isn’t, there are other pros and cons to both rifles to consider. When it comes down to it, it’s all about which rifle you’re more comfortable with.
I’m not the biggest fan of Discovery Channel’s Sons of Guns, but if there is one person on the show that I think is pretty cool it’s Glenn Fleming, A.K.A. Flem. Did you know he has his own blog? Check it out at GlennFleming.com.
One of Flem’s projects was a Mosin Nagant pistol (also called an Obrez) pictured above. Why would anyone make a Mosin Nagant pistol? Who cares look at that flame! At least it’s not blue with a rainbow sticker like this K98.
Check out Flem’s pistol in action below.
I cringe every time I see videos and pictures of people shooting incorrectly, especially when there are others present that you’d assume would know a thing or two about how to I dunno, not shoot a shotgun like an idiot? The buddy of the guy in the video below (the camera man) is probably just as incompetent as the shooter to let this happen. Or he’s just a cruel cruel man. Either way, it made for a good fail video.
Seems like Kydex is all the rage these days, but back when I was a kid it was all about the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). If these ever come to market I’ll have to pick one up and dust off my old Nintendo and bust some Duck Hunt. Check them out at af275.com
Remember back in the day when the super soaker first came out? Those were cool and all, but I wish I had this sweet water bottle shooting RPG-7 when I was a little kid. Made by Marudai in Japan, this rocket-propelled grenade launcher replica fires water bottles just like the real RPG-7. Why does the coolest toys always come from Japan?
