With a Whimper New APFU Details Released

Wednesday, July 17th, 2013

Rather than making a splash by unveiling the APFU on the Army’s birthday last month, details of the new Army Physical Fitness Uniform are leaked to no fanfare. Hopefully, the Army will see fit to announce the findings of the Camouflage Improvement Effort as well.

Battle Mug Introduces the Travel Incendiary Transport System

Wednesday, July 17th, 2013

Battle Mug has just introduced the first 50 of the M56 Travel Incendiary Transport Systems on their website.

Designed as the ultimate tactical cigar case, the aluminum M56 is made in America, and features O-rings on both caps to insure nothing gets in, or out of your T.I.T.S. It also makes the perfect companion for your Battle Mug as it can be attached to a Picatinny rail via 30mm scope rings. Way cooler than a spare M4 carrying handle.

Yes guys, it’s all in good fun. Try it some time.
