Cool Stuff: Bug-A-Salt, The Crowd Funded Fly Killing Weapon

Filed under: Cool Stuff,Weapons Stuff — Tags: , , , , — Matt @ 9:25 PM

This is awesome and I wish I had this for my contracts overseas. Nothing sucks like getting pestered by flies and mosquitoes while at some post or while eating your food. Worse yet, when trying to sleep and you have insects keeping you awake or sucking your blood…yeah, I like this weapon. lol

The really cool stuff is that the inventor crowd sourced this thing at IndieGoGo and raised $577,606 to get it off the ground. Everyone that donated received one gun.

Now if you would like to get one yourself, go to their website to get one. This would be the perfect gift for the contractor or soldier this Christmas or whenever. We will be ready for the bugs next spring and summer!

Also, there is another angle on this that is equally compelling. If you look at flies and mosquitoes as a target or enemy, then this weapon called the bug-a-salt will contribute to the war on killing these pests. It is a fun and unique way of killing a despised pest that spreads disease and filth. That to me is offense industry, where you create an industry that profits off the destruction of an enemy or target.

This toy/weapon is selling like hotcakes and each gun represents a certain amount of killing power. Now will it eradicate flies? I doubt it. But what is significant is that the weapon and it’s concept, motivates a large amount of people to buy it and kill insects with it, and thus feed a toy manufacturing plant to make more to feed the demand. The reward is making the destruction of flies fun! Pretty cool and check it out. –Matt

Weapons Stuff: Samson AR-15 Field Survivor-A2 Pistol Grip Tool Kit

Filed under: Video,Weapons Stuff — Tags: , , , , — Matt @ 12:57 AM

     I actually think this is kind of a cool little deal.  It’s like a Leatherman for the AR-15.  Some of the tools on this, I could see being very helpful.  Plus it fills the hollow pistol grip of the standard AR-15 and M-4 weapon systems out there.  

     The most impressive aspect of this tool, is the magazine feed lip gauge.  To be able to constantly check your issued magazines, and even repair them, is a very handy capability.  And out in the field on contracts, sometimes magazines are hard to come by, and to be able to check that stuff is key to being ready out there.  The broken shell extractor and the front sight adjustment tool are very hand to have as well. Good stuff.  –Matt

Cool Stuff: The Unbreakable Umbrella

Filed under: Cool Stuff,Executive Protection,Weapons — Tags: , , , — Matt @ 8:40 AM

     Ok, you are probably wondering why I would post this on Feral Jundi?  This product is not only a very tough umbrella, but can also be used for self defense or the protection of your client.  And if you are in countries that do not allow you to purchase a weapon or is very difficult to get, then this might be your ticket.  

     What I liked about it, is that it looks harmless.  But if you wanted to wail on someone with this thing, it is not going to break and it is going to do some damage.  And for those executive protection details that require you to be not armed, a tool like this might be the trick.  Just like using a rolled up magazine or the corner of a hardback book, this umbrella could be a very nice discreet self-defense tool to have around.  

   Thanks to Doug again for hooking me up with this info, and I guess Wired did a good little story on this product as well.  As for endorsements, it sounds like the Presidential Security Group (PSG) of the Philippines President uses this umbrella as a defensive tool. 

    And it is a fully functioning umbrella!  Which at the end of the day, protecting your client from the rain will probably be your highest use for such a product.  But sure would be handy to have something like this for the ‘what if’ situations.  It would also be a great gift for a loved one that is looking for a dual use product like this.  Be sure to check out the video on the website, to see a demonstration of this thing.  And as a disclaimer, I do not own this umbrella, nor do I work for the company.  I am just reporting on an interesting product that has some application to the security contracting industry.  –Head Jundi 

 

 From the Website of Real Self-Defense, LLC

     The Unbreakable Umbrella works just as well as a walking stick or cane but does not make you look funny or feel awkward. Whacks just as strong as a steel pipe but it weighs only 1 lb. and 11 oz. (775 g).

    * Legal to carry everywhere

    *Never raises suspicions

    *Does not make you look silly (no strange looks if carried by an able-bodied person)

     Our Unbreakable Umbrella has no unusual parts, no more metal than an average umbrella, it does not arouse suspicion, can be carried legally everywhere where any weapons are prohibited, unlike a walking stick it does not cause strange looks if carried by an able-bodied person, and it does protect from rain. Anyone who can use a stick for defense can use this umbrella.

News: Palestinian Psycho Part 2; Driver Rams Cars and is Shot

Filed under: Israel,News — Tags: , , , , — Matt @ 11:45 AM

    Amazing.  A copycat attack, and I wouldn’t doubt it if you see this happen elsewhere in the world.  These vehicles are certainly weapons, and with all of the construction projects going on in Iraq and Afghanistan involving these types of vehicles, this should certainly be of interest to project managers and site security managers.  And as the story alludes to, you must insure that the guy is dead, or you have what happened last time a terrorist driver was shot and thought to be dead.  It seems they did not mess around with this guy.  -Head Jundi

Palestinian in construction truck rams cars

By LAURIE COPANS 

JERUSALEM (AP) — A Palestinian rammed a construction truck into three cars and a bus near the Jerusalem hotel where Barack Obama is supposed to stay Tuesday, injuring five people before an Israeli civilian shot and killed the attacker, police and witnesses said.

The attack was a chilling copycat of a similar incident earlier this month when another Palestinian plowed his front loader into a string of vehicles and pedestrians on a busy Jerusalem street about three miles away. Three people were killed in that attack and dozens were wounded before an off-duty soldier shot and killed the assailant.
