Blast From The Past – The Chinese Entrenching Tool

Saturday, March 24th, 2012

This may prove to be the most entertaining 8:46 of your life, or the most terrifying if you consider the Chinese horde all armed to the teeth with these shovels. It slices, it dices, it juliennes. Truth be told, a couple of the features such as the “scissor” and nail puller are pretty cool, but music and effects make this one worth the price of admission.

Ase Utra Introduces New BoreLock Fast Attach System Products

Saturday, March 24th, 2012

During the recent EnforceTac show in Germany, Ase Utra introduced new products in their BoreLock fast attach system line. The HiPer flash hiders are designed to provide flash suppression on various barrel lengths, for both 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm weapons.

Interestingly, the technology looks very similar to the BE Meyers flash hiders we recently wrote about. If so, I’d say that they are on to something.
