LWRCI Shares SGN Article on their Six8
Tuesday, December 18th, 2012Art in War, Afghanistan
Tuesday, December 18th, 2012It was filmed during the first half of Soldier and amateur film maker Sean Allen’s deployment to Wardak Province, Afghanistan. It’s a compilation of time-lapse photography put together to create a fast motion-like film. He made it show to another side of Afghanistan, one we don’t often have time to experience, one of serenity.

Guy Cramer Talks Camo on CNN
Thursday, December 6th, 2012Filmed in August, CNN broadcast a report by Chris Lawrence entitled “New technology makes troops invisible.”
He interviews Guy Cramer of Canada’s HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp and partner of ADS Inc in their bid to win the US Army’s ongoing Camouflage Improvement Effort. The ADS/Cramer team produced the finalist US4CES pattern. Rumor has it that the Chief of Staff of the Army will be briefed this week on the results of the extensive testing undertaken to find a new family of camouflage patterns for use the the Army.
Cramer goes on to very briefly discuss his Quantum Stealth technology. As I understand it, CNN spent more than an hour with Cramer and yet edited it down to less than three minutes. It’s too bad because we want to hear Cramer speak more about his advanced camouflage concepts.

Recoil Issue 5 Is Out
Monday, December 3rd, 2012
When Recoil magazine initially came out, it held a lot of promise. This wasn’t your average gun magazine. It had and continues to offer a different look. In fact, this latest issue, hitting news stands now, has the same look and feel as it’s initial success. Only one thing is missing, Editor Jerry Tsai who stepped down after Issue 4’s Second Amendment controversy.
So what steps has Recoil taken to move on? Aside from some personnel changes, the issue starts out with an article on the Second Amendment. In fact, it spells out in no uncertain terms that Recoil supports the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
Additionally, the theme of this issue is Versatility. They cover a bolt gun, 2 pistols and shotgun. They also have some interesting content on the basics of preparing a bug out bag as well as what to look for in a used 1911. However, I feel they fall a little short on some content such as the lightweight rail, pistol light and boot photo spreads but the lack of depth may be as much a function of a wary industry than an oversight on Recoil’s part.
Like previous issues, there’s a pull-out full-size target although this one is a space alien. That’s a little different but follows the overall Recoil theme of being something different.
They haven’t returned to the full stable of advertisers they enjoyed prior to Issue 4’s editorial misstep but they are in better shape than they were in the beginning. They aren’t starting from scratch but you can see that they are taking steps to move forward.
I’m willing to see where this goes. How about you?

AEX Tier One – The Movie
Friday, November 23rd, 2012In August I visited the guys at Airsoft Extreme and they showed me a rough cut of this short they had created from video shot during the filming of a commercial. It is a Hollywood production and aside from the airsoft guns and associated special effects the gear is authentic. Watch it in this light and enjoy.
