    Bullpup AR-15 Homemade Conversion

    Demolition Ranch with some cool redneck science:

    haha when he said how he found the term “redneck scentist” offensive at the beginning of the video I was like “Really? 0.o”  the joke was on me though.

    Pretty slick, I don’t know how big of a fan I am of having my neck right next to the opposite side of the ejection port and that near the chamber… That said, I don’t know ho much safer it is having your head 6 inches back either if something blows up.

    If he refined the design and produced it I’m sure he would sell tons of them, regardless of how useful or comfortable it is to shoot.

    Until It Hurts Artwork – Want To See A Documentary?

    You can help a documentary get made:

    The idea of UNTIL it HURTS (UiH) was created by Dave Hall, retired SEAL sniper.  Dave’s plan was to honor his fallen friends and brothers by creating a piece of art out of a target.  He fired his weapon from 911 yards for each teammate that had fallen, one round for each of the 79 fallen SEALS since the wars started, onto the target.  Dave started firing on 9/11/2012 at 8:46 AM finishing at 11:40 AM.

    I like the idea behind the artwork, and the fact it raised money but I’m really not a fan of the artwork itself.  Does it matter what I think though? No not at all.

    I think this documentary “preview” was enough for me,  It could have been about 30 seconds long and had all the same information.  I couldn’t imagine an hour long documentary on the making of that thing.  If you want to support the documentary you can donate a minimum of $1 over at IndieGoGo, but if you want a copy of the documentary the minimum donation is $25.  The money raised (minimum goal of  $37911) will go towards making the documentary.  I like the colorway on those converse Chuck Taylors you get with at $185 donation.  Chucks are the most uncomfortable shoes on the planet though.

    What I think would be a better idea, is if they would take donations of time / equipment to make the documentary and then donate the profit to a pro-military charity for wounded soldiers or something similar.

    .22 LR Snacks – Battered And Deep-fried

    Mattv2099 working out the menu for his upcoming gun related restaurant:

    Mattv2099-ENDO-Trollture-TrollingThat batter looked good… reminds me I need to make crepes again soon.  After seeing the video I likely won’t put .22 LR in them though… maybe I’ll try .50 BMG.  I figure since it’s centerfire it must be safer.

    He got some good camera angles!  That’s A LOT of hot oil flying everywhere.  Glad he came out unscathed.

    Was anyone else surprised at the results?

    Canadian Kids Brought Ammo To School To Trade And Sell

    Some parents are unsurprisingly flipping out:

    CALGARY, ALBERTA – A couple of Grade 5 boys brought shell casings and live ammunition to her children’s elementary school. “They had been selling or giving away the casings to their Grade 5/6 classmates and one live bullet was sold to a boy in Grade 5,”

    “If the kids are bringing the ammo to school, how are they getting a hold of it and what about the gun that goes with it? Is it as equally available to them and is that the next step?“

    Full Story – CBC News

    Oh no!  What’s the next step!  Hopefully these kids don’t have 3D printers, or access to a hardware store in Calgary.

    Looks like the kids will just be disciplined for “selling personal items at school” which is apparently against the rules.

    Officials are now investigating how the students got their hands on the ammunition and shell casings. 

    “Sometimes this stuff is found, sometimes they find it in the homes of their parents or guardians, and then if that was the case we would speak to the parents and determine the circumstances behind that,” said Sgt. Duane Lepchuk.

    Maybe they should get CSIS on it… this really sounds like something which needs lots more delving into.  Assemble the best detectives, and call the top mounties with the shiniest boots, poofiest pants, and best horses ASAP.

    HouseOfCommonsCanada

    I’m just glad these kids didn’t have some advanced prototypes of R.I.P. Ammunition.  THOSE ROUNDS ACT LIKE A HOLE SAW THROUGH EVERY BARRIER KNOWN TO MAN SO FAR GUYS REMEMBER?!

    Ain’t Nobody Got Time For Disarming

    Billy Johnson with NRA News talks about the government taking away our guns:

    I rolled my eyes at “that’s why they can never justify disarming us”…. like the constitution isn’t being trampled on by those people in numerous ways every single day without justification.

    Billy-Johnson-DisarmingI think it would be scary how many people would be easily convinced that disarmament is for their “own good” someday.  I really hope it doesn’t come to that.

    I wonder what brand of black t-shirt Billy wears?  Now that’s he’s famous I bet it’s some high-end designer one made out of hummingbird whiskers.

    R.I.P. Ammunition To Rip All Known Barriers A New One

    Hold on to your tactical pants, you’re in for a wild ride:

    0:26 – Glock with excessive speed holes cut into the slide.  That right there tells me that guy knows what he’s doing, and does NOT mess around.

    0:31 – A little peak at some ballistic gel test… looks messy.  I’m holding my breath.

    0:33 – OMG a Beretta 93R!  These guys just keep getting better.

    0:37 – AHHHHH Glock 18!  So much want.

    0:56 – Voiceover by YouTube trollfessional Mattv2099 or Dynamic Pie Concepts? hahah.

    The stats for THE LAST ROUND YOU’LL EVER NEED (so they say).  G2 Research R.I.P. 9mm:

    • 16″ Penetration
    • Up to 6″ diameter spread
    • 96 gr projectile
    • 2″ grouping at 25 yrds
    • 1265 FPS / 490 Muzzle Energy
    • 9 Separate Wound Channels
    • Precision Machined
    • Solid Copper / Lead Free
    • Defeats all known barriers such as sheet metal, sheet rock, windshields, plywood, heavy winter clothing

    Some random points in there for sure.  2″ grouping at 25 yards for instance… wtf?  Is that supposed to impress me?  Isn’t that mainly shooter dependent?  I also love the DEFEATS ALL KNOWN BARRIERS;  Like everything known to man up to this point in time.  They aren’t saying there are barriers this CAN’T defeat, but they want to be clear that every barrier they know exists… R.I.P. Ammunition will RIP A NEW ONE.

    Those ballistic gel tests looked like a mess.  I’m looking forward to seeing some 3rd party tests of this ammunition.  If I had to pick a bullet not to get shot by, it would be this one.  How long until this is on every news station in the world?  I want all my high capacity assault clips to be full of R.I.P. Ammunition from now on.  Maybe we can work out a sponsorship deal?  I scratch your back, you scratch mine type of thing.

    2:58 – I see they have plans for a bunch more calibers planned.  I’m disappointed to see .50 BMG and 20mm aren’t on the list.

    RIP-AmmunitionYou can check out more info and pictures over at the G2 Research website.  You know they are fancy when you see the CSS the cursor: crosshair; move.  LOL so rookie.  I bet the main guy who knows nothing about websites was like “I NEED THE CURSOR TO BE A CROSSHAIR” to the programmer.  He probably politely advised against it, and then was like fine whatever if that’s what you really want.

    Thoughts?  Elaborate trolling, or real product?  The YouTube comments are pure gold, make sure to click through.
