Weapons: Some Thoughts On Battlefield Lasers

     Since November 2008, the 3rd ESC has had 64 laser incidents reported in Iraq, resulting in 45 documented injuries to soldiers. Two of those injuries were permanent — one soldier is now legally blind in one eye, Hayes said.
     Both Multi-National Corps—Iraq and 3rd ESC Commander Brig. Gen. Michael Lally are stepping […]

India: Terror Group Lashkar-e-Taiba Planning Paraglider Attacks In India

   Wow, these guys are getting innovative. The attack using a paraglider opens up all sorts of ideas and problems-both for the terrorist and for the defenders.  I believe many paraglider kits can be used for tandem jumping, so they could conceivably haul a payload of equal weight. So that could be a payload of […]

Cool Stuff: Shot Show 2010

   One of these years, you will see Feral Jundi at a booth at Shot Show.  These things are so much fun, and filled with tons of networking possibilities and all sorts of new weapons, weapons parts and gear.  There are a few blogs out there that track shot show, but probably the best is […]

Weapons: M41-A Pulse Rifle From the Movie ‘Aliens’, Shoots Real Ammunition!


Weapons: The FBI to Purchase The Anzio Mag-Fed 20mm Rifle

   Thanks to Matt for sending me this one.  Wow, what a weapon!  This is the kind of rifle marine contractors could use on a boat.  That, along with the Neopup that Eeben introduced us to, and now we are talking about a pretty lethal capability. (the Neopup uses 20 mm x 42)
   What makes 20 mm x […]

Weapons Stuff: Major Revamp Possible for M4 Carbine

   Cool, I guess.  My choice would be to just switch to a higher caliber rifle, as opposed to dressing up this varmint shooter we call the M4.
     If I was to add one more little addition to this list, that would be to make the Mk 262 round the standard round. Sure it would be […]

Cool Stuff: The Dillon Aero M 134 Gatling Gun, Mounted in a Suburban


Weapons: Army Pushes Precision Mortar

   I tell you, if we could pump out little miniature JDAM style mortars, how cool would that be?  Every grunt out there, would be worshiping these things.  That means less mortar rounds to hump around and more lethality with each shot.  If you could use some kind of pointer system, like a IR pointer or […]

Weapons: The Amerikansky RPG-7 and Pump-action 40mm Grenade Launcher by Airtronic USA

     Talk about some interesting weapon systems? If the company needs a tester to shoot these things, I am available. (lol) Seriously though, the concern I have with the grenade launcher, is if there are any primer detonation issues with being set up in this configuration.  If the 40 mm rounds were flat, like […]
