Hang It, Fire! – 60mm NERF Mortar

Friday, September 7th, 2018

The 60mm NERF Mortar is not an official NERF product, but with its large foam mortar shells, the inspiration is clear. Modeled after an actual 60mm Mortar, the NERF Mortar is made of plastic, weighs about 3 lbs., and comes with three foam mortar shells. The reported range is just around 6 meters, so you’ll have to forgo any long distance shots, but it’d be a neat addition to any NERF war.

If you’re curious about the plastic cylinder that accompanies the shells, that’s the priming device. There’s a spring assembly built into every round, and that priming device is used to depress the spring which then locks into place, readying the round to fire. Once the round is primed and dropped into the mortar tube, the mechanism is activated by a protrusion in the tube and the round comes shooting out, like a real mortar; actually pretty ingenious.

ZEV Technologies Gen5 Compact PRO Magwell

Friday, August 31st, 2018

Known for its high quality, precision crafted Glock upgrade components, ZEV Technologies has once again added to its growing catalog of Gen5 offerings with the introduction of the PRO Magwell designed for the compact G19 Gen5 model. The PRO Magwell, a slimmed down version of its big brother the PRO Plus Magwell, is suitable for concealed carry with little to no added imprinting. The slightly flared base is wider than the stock opening, which is ideal for quickly inserting the magazine in the pistol during reloads, helping build proper muscle memory for improved consistency and reload time.

The ZEV Technologies PRO Magwell is a great addition for any shooter looking for an edge without the bulk flared competition style magwell. The one-piece design facilitates easy installation and utilizes a single attachment screw to securely mount to the Glock frame while retaining a low profile.

Designed and tested for compatibility with standard capacity factory magazines

One piece 6061 aluminum design

Type III anodized finish

Kit includes magwell body, mounting screw, and wrench

NOTE: Back straps may need to be modified if used.
