SHOT Show – And They’re Off
January 15th, 2013See the Paradigm SRP TALON Gyro-Stabilized Gun Platform
January 15th, 2013See the TALON gyro-stabilized gun platform from Paradigm at the Legion Firearms booth (# 27108). This thing has come a long way since its first appearance on Soldier Systems. First off, they’ve added a camera system – one sensor looks through the scope and one offers a wide angle view of the target area. They also added a range finder and the system automatically calculates shot distance from heights and displays it on the hand controller screen. The TALON is totally automated and stabilized for helicopters, boats, and vehicles.
The photo shows a SCAR H mounted in the TALON, but any weapon with a bottom rail on the hand guard can be utilized.

Firearms Legislation Coverage
January 15th, 2013A lot will be happening this week relative to the Obama administration and their efforts to restrict gun rights. Ironically, as I am covering SHOT Show, I won’t have the same level of access to what is going on on the political front. Understand that I am not ignoring this issue. Rather, I am supporting our firearms and tactical industries through my up to the minute coverage of SHOT Show.
Remember to support websites and blogs that support our Second Amendment. There has been ample opportunity to speak up and some have remained silent. To my colleagues that fully support this industry and the Second Amendment I salute you. Those that won’t stand up for what’s right and the bed rock of freedom from tyranny, well, they’re just leeches now aren’t they?
Something MultiCam This Way Comes
