Introducing G-Code Scorpion

Thursday, November 6th, 2014

Click to view .pdf

Earlier in the week, we posted an article on the BCM Mod 3 Vertical Grip, and there was a quite a bit of buzz regarding the identity of the mag pouch featured in this image:

Well, now we’re cleared to talk about it, and we’ve got to say that the overall system has got us pretty excited.

It’s called G-Code Scorpion, and it’s a line of modular magazine and fighting equipment carrying systems with a minimalist design. The interior of each pouch is lined with G-Code Tactical FUZZ, a material that provides a friction medium which not only retains the magazine but also provides a smooth, silent draw. Each pouch also features engineered channels which provide armored protection of the binding cord, ensuring precision placement of the interlace. The binding cord allows the end user to fine tune the feel of the draw to their own personal preference.

G-Code Scorpion pouches are ambidextrous and RTI compatible, and can readily integrate with the entire family of G-Code mounting accessories right out of the box.

Scorpion pouches are also designed so that they can be stacked, allowing for multi-rifle, multi-pistol, or rifle and pistol platforms.

G-Code Scorpion pouches are available for all manner of 5.56, 7.62, and single and double-stack pistol magazines.

The entire G-Code Scorpion line is 100% made in the USA.

Baskin-Robbins Offers Camouflage Ice Cream In Honor Of Veterans Day

Thursday, November 6th, 2014

In honor of Veterans Day, Baskin-Robbins is offering the limited ‘First Class Camouflage’ flavor through the month of November. It is a combination of Chocolate, Caramel, and Vanilla Cake flavors, making up respectively the brown, tan, and green colorway of the ice cream. Along with ‘First Class Camouflage’, Baskin-Robbins is also offering a camouflage waffle cone, and the First Class Camouflage Layered Sundae, which adds hot fudge, caramel praline, chopped OREO cookie pieces, and whipped cream to the mix.

Additionally, on Veterans Day, Baskin-Robbins will donate 10 cents from each scoop of ice cream sold at its US locations to the USO.

As far as flavoring, it’s not too bad. The caramel is definitely the dominate flavor, and the vanilla tastes pretty sweet. The cone, a standard sugar waffle cone, was a nice touch.
