Cool Stuff: The WPPS Ring

         This is interesting.  This is the first time I have ever seen jewelry offered up for security contractors.  Personally, I don’t like wearing rings, but for some guys out there, this means a lot.  Especially if you are proud of your service as a contractor. Personally, I like a nice watch, like […]

Weapons: The Israeli Ruger 10/22 Suppressed Sniper Rifle

     Thanks to Doug, for sending me this interesting little article.  The Israelis have always been known for being unconventional and thinking outside of the box, and this certainly is one of those instances.  Using a suppressed .22 caliber rifle for riot control?  Shooting the leaders in the legs with a suppressed .22?  Interesting […]

Funny Stuff: Predator and Politics, Here Comes Billy Bear!

 
   It just doesn’t get any funnier than this.  What is it about the movie Predator and politics?  And get this, Sonny was a porn star at one point in his career and also served some time in federal prison, on top of being an eighties action star! LOL  If you check out his website, […]

Weapons Stuff: The LULA by Butler Creek

   This little guy has been around for awhile, but I figured I would give it some attention on FJ.  I own one, and they are awesome.  If you shoot a lot, this little device will save your fingers and make loading and unloading magazines way easier and faster.  
    It is great for contracting […]

Tactical Thought Process: David Kilcullen and Counterinsurgency

   For me, this was an interesting story, about a little known guy that was hugely responsible for today’s Counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq.  Another example of ideas saving the day, and luckily reaching all the right people to become reality.  We are truly grateful for people like Kilcullen and others in the past, like Boyd, […]
