    High Capacity Battery Power Assault Clip

    BatteryClip. The power to power things, not to kill.  Not YET anyway:

    Battery-Clip-Magazine

    Similar in function to an ammunition magazine or “clip”, The BatteryClip not only organizes and protects batteries from dirt and accidental discharge, it assures that fresh batteries are available in an instant.

    $25 each over at the BatteryClip website.  They come in AA, 9 Volt, and soon AAA versions.  I’m unsure if they will release reduced capacity versions for the less friendly states.

    Holy, does everything have to have a gun related solution?  I was going to make more fun of the idea of this, but then I realized that just the other day I needed batteries again for my Apple Keyboard (Yes this happens often because I spend like 20 hours a day on the computer eating Cheetos and trolling the internet) and I cut my thumb knuckle on the sharp edge of my Costco Kirkland blisterpack full of batteries.  It was a rough day which will go down in blogging history my friends #NeverForget. A battery clip in my life will no doubt prevent future tragedies.

    I’m just really hoping someone takes advantage of this whole “battery clip” (magazine) idea and makes a gun to fire the batteries.  The clips (magazines) even fit in standard rifle mag pouches… how operator is that?!

    Guns Are Simple On The Surface

    An emo look at guns and their function:

    The concept and process of shooting a gun is amazingly simple, point and shoot. That may be the only simple thing about it. Our goal here was to take the simple concept of shooting an aluminum can in the woods – almost any gun owner’s childhood experience with their BB gun – and go deeper into what shooting a gun can be. Josh, the talent, narrates about the complexities that guns bring, whether societal, mechanical, or even personal. There is a linear storyline of Josh and the bullet. He takes a moment to think about this piece of lead that he is about to send downrange, and we go back to the beginning. From the melting and casting of lead, to the absolute detail that is involved in creating ammunition. The process in itself is complex and gives visual understanding that it guns are simple on surface, but only that.

    So emo.

    shooting-targetGuns aren’t “too simple” though I guess because the gun fails to ever fire.  This is likely due to to the fact that around 1:40 he’s loading cartridges which don’t have primers into the magazine… *CLICK – NO BANG*.  OOPS! ;)

    Despite the obvious oversights, I enjoyed watching though.  Thoughts?

    Old Ladies Like The Glock 42 – Therefore You Should Buy One

    This sold me on getting the G42:

    Glock-Diamond-Bedazzled-Pendant-JewelryI mean Kat Matoon guys… come on, SOLD! *full disclosure – I had no idea who she was until I googled her*  It’s clear that Glock really wants to sell this as a “white lady gun”… I feel alienated, and I’m sure the women of color in the world do as well.  When are we going to get a Glock ad for instance, with a powerful hispanic lady? Hey Glock?  haha there’s me trying to start something.  R. Lee Ermey is such an attention whore, but I love him.

    Sonny Puzikas Swinging AK-47s In 2012 Rather Than Shooting People

    Swing operatatAh operaTahhh Opaaaratttahhh:

    Looks like this video was from 2012.. great find though Van, I love this stuff.  How could a guy like Sonny ever been a part of a negligent shooting when he exhibits such respect for firearms and, safety surrounding them? Oh “Big boy rules” right? *chest puffed out eating bacon and drinking whiskey from the bottle*

    So 2012 was swinging AK-47s… 2013 was shooting people, and AK-47 no-looks … what does Sonny have in store for us in 2014?

    I like those British DPM pants though!  I have a field jacket with 3/4 length sleeves in that pattern.  I wear mine with a scarf, and sip lattes on outdoor patios. #OperatorAs____

    Sonny-Puzikas-AK-Glock-Dual-WieldThoughts?  Would it be an honor to have Sonny Puzikas swing an AK at your face so you could pull an operator type maneuver like in the video AND then leave with the knowledge of how to avoid all the future AK to the face swings you’ll no doubt encounter throughout your life?

    PWS Half Cocked – SHOT SHOW

    SHOT SHOW 2014:

    PWS-Half-Cocked-Cartoon-LogoBetter than the first episode, I’ll say that much.  I guess I expected the episodes to be longer and more substantive than they have been so far.
