Google Glass At The Gun Range

Friday, December 20th, 2013

This video purportedly created by a Google Glass wearing shooter has been making the rounds on the interwebz. The author is shooting a Springfield XD and a Title II AR-15 lower with a CMMG upper, Huntertown Arms suppressor, C-MORE red dot sight, and 50-round Black Dog Machine 22lr mag. The comments on the YouTube post are hilariously ridiculous. What do you think?

It Must Be A Sov’ Thing

First we had Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov with an itchy trigger finger, and now it’s the Chairman of the Board himself.

Its a Sov Thing

All I can figure is that it’s a Sov’ Thing.

Cold Steel Pocket Shark Marker

Although Cold Steel is largely known for their blades, they’re capable of branching out their product line, as seen with the Pocket Shark Marker. The Pocket Shark Marker is a heavy-duty fine-tip felt marker. Although it’s lacking a strike edge or metal body like a tactical pen would have, the Shark does have a hard impact-resistant plastic body, four times thicker than regular markers; it can be run over with a car and still write. The cap is screw-on, which makes it much easier to retain the cap when stored, and helps to prevent any unintentional mark or leak. The marker also features a clip for storing in a pocket.

Mil-Spec Monkey Logo Spotted In Call Of Duty: Ghosts Footage

Thursday, August 22nd, 2013

This article was featured yesterday on Tactical Fanboy.

Monkey In CoD

I was watching some of the alpha multiplayer footage from Call of Duty: Ghosts and I noticed a very familiar looking logo being used as a player emblem. Specifically, it’s the Mil-Spec Monkey logo, slightly altered to include either some frost or a white beard along the chin. I contacted Monkey directly about spotting this, to get his take on its inclusion in the game. The verdict? While I wasn’t flat out told directly, it doesn’t look like its use was authorized by Monkey himself.

It can be seen in this video around the 1:30 and 1:50 marks.
