    Costa Transitions From Derp Satchels To Nice Looking Backpacks

    Chris Costa x London Bridge Trading (LBT INC) x LBX Tactical:

    Oh sorry about the title, my bad it’s not a backpack… it’s a “System” because it has numerous parts.  I realize the Derp satchel for life helmets was made for a different purpose, but regardless I think it’s safe to say his mom and his two aunts were the only customers.  This collab looks a hell of a lot better and is more functional.

    3:51 – Please tell me he has Skittles rubberbanded to the other side of that CTR stock.

    He tries to sell the “discrete” aspect of it a whole bunch though.   Sure the large bag part of the “system” is not going to scream “rifle” to soccer moms and emo mall rats… but for those who are familiar with rifle bags you know damn well he’s not carrying around XXL pepperoni sticks, and jumbo freezer pops in a bag profile like that (although highly recommended by ENDO).

    Costa is so high speed and his drag is so minimal.  Watching him run in slow motion is like watching a mechanical tactical humanized grey wolf hunt down prey.

    The price is $275 for the bag over on the LBX Tactical site. Other components of the “system” are extra.

    Smart Guns – Not What You Think They Are

    This is pretty funny:

    Armatix-electronic-safety-gunSamson Manufacturing always has great vids.  They put a lot of effort in… remember the ghost gun video of theirs?

    A sure bet is if you want to make enemies in the gun community, talk about how much you love smart guns and how great they will be for safety and gun ownership in general. haha

    Derping Stone Magazine’s USA Top 5 Most Dangerous Guns

    Lady-Gaga-Alejandro-AR-15-SBR-Bra

    LOL this is pure troll bait gold… the list:

    1. Pistols
    2. Revolvers
    3. Rifles
    4. Shotguns
    5. Derringers

    Check out the full Article at Rolling Stone.

    On slide 2 I learned that pistols have a “built-in barrel” and “short stock”.  WTF?  Mine must be defective because they have neither.

    *face palm*… more derp on the revolver slide.

    Hmmm so rifles are just NOW the most common hunting weapon.  Good to know… good to know…

    Shotguns – “the explosive that creates the energy to fire the gun occurs in the fixed shell of a shotgun rather than the metallic cartridge of a rifle.”  LOL this emphasis on fixed tells me she probably thinks the “metallic cartridge of the rifle” travels with the projectile.

    Derringers… so deadly right now.  Derringers.  The biggest takeaway from this is that assault weapons are “loosely categorized as semi-automatic rapid fire weapons designed for combat use”.  Yea loosely categorized by idiots.  How about “ARE ACTUALLY semi-automatic firearms but are called ASSAULT WEAPONS to scare the sheep”.

    Thoughts?  Renewing your subscription to Rolling Stone because of this?  They got on my shit list a long time ago, even before they Jim Morrison’d the Boston bomber glorifying him on the cover.

    If there is any justice in this world, Kristen Guynne would be publicly humiliated for this article / fired.  I’m sure the humiliation is happening (from other pro-gun people and websites), but she’s probably getting a raise due to the epic pageview generating trolling rather than getting fired.  Troll on Kristen, troll on. *slow clap*

    Sintercore Appears To Have Something Worth Buying

    I know what you pessimists are thinking “WOW an ambidextrous AR-15 charging handle (patent pending) *EYE ROLL*”:

    Sintercore-AR15-Ambi-Charging-Handle

    But wait… Sintercore (a.k.a. “Halix” of chin stock fame) might be onto something this time, check it out.

    AR15-Halix-Chin-Stock$50 pre-order (shipping included) for an ambidextrous charging handle is actually a damn fine price when you compare it to other ambidextrous offerings out there… The simplicity of this one is incredible (from what I can see), which I’m a huge fan of.  I don’t know if he could prove novelty and get a patent for this, but I really don’t think that matters if he’s not infringing on someone else’s patent, what he’s selling works as advertised, at that sweet of a price, and machined out of T6 aluminum bar stock.  Nice job Neal, I hope this one works out for you.   I gave you a crazy rough time on those first two products, please impress me on this one so I can feel good about hoisting you on my shoulders *pause* with this, being down from day 1. :P

    Soooo…… video of 5 hours worth of consecutive slow motion charging handle pulls?  See this Adriana Lima video for how it’s done.  I just blessed you with that gem for free.. remember that when you’re picking out your first Ferrari, and dodging paparazzi wanting to cash in on showing the world the life you’re living from that charging handle money.

    A Look Inside Adam Savage’s Workshop

    The guy best known for his work on Mythbusters:

    Mythbusters-Gun-SuppressorsWow a lot of cool stuff in there.  Organized chaos in most of it for sure.  He definitely knows what he’s doing!

    If you could pick out one thing what would you want?  I’d probably pick the ejection seat from the jet… or the lathe.
