This seemingly tongue-in-cheek but completely real package from Optics Planet includes a wide variety of products, including thermal and night vision optics, scopes and red dot sights, tactical clothing and gear, and hunting scent cloaks. Technically, this kit is a bargain, with the sum total of the items exceeding the $20,000 price point, so if you’re in the market for everything available with the kit, this might be one of your better options.

The Invisible Man Kit – Optics Planet
Friday, July 26th, 2013ARMA 3 – Beta Trailer
Thursday, July 25th, 2013For the uninitiated, the ARMA series has always worked more towards being a combat simulator than an arcade-style shooter like the more recent Call of Duty titles and (to a lesser extent) Battlefield.
Lifesaver Jerrycans
Thursday, July 25th, 2013
The Lifesaver Jerrycan is capable of holding up to 18.5 liters of water at a time, and can produce up to 10,000 liters of water through the life of the device. The Jerrycan uses an activated carbon filter that reduces a broad spectrum of chemical residues and contaminates; a single filter lasts for 500 liters. Lifesaver’s own FAILSAFE technology deliberately increases the number of pumps required to induce water flow as the device reaches the end of its filtration capacity, and makes it impossible to flow water when the cartridge needs replacing. The Jerrycan also features a flow rate of 3 liters per minute and can be used with an optional shower attachment which plugs on and off in seconds. A 20,000 liter variant is also available.

Tuesday, July 23rd, 2013

The story is being written by Dusty McGowen, with Brian Lucey and Matt Lesniewski on art, and is being published by Blue Water Comics.

Tuesday, July 16th, 2013InteliScope App And Mount – Hands-On
Monday, July 15th, 2013
The folks at InteliScope, LLC were kind enough to send us a prototype tactical mount and access to their beta app. The tactical mount secures snugly to a standard picatinny rail. Although it wasn’t included, an additional component would allow the mount to be attached to a Nerf N-Strike rail. The mount comes with three cases, sized for an iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPod touch. The cases are made from a hard, lightweight plastic and feature 32 square holes on the back that allow the device to attach to the mount.
The InteliScope app allows the device to function like a red dot sight, with an enhanced HUD. Given that the app’s purpose is largely as a training aid, virtually all aspects of the HUD can be changed: the zero, the reticle style and color, ballistics and firearm data, and whether certain elements are even visible on the screen. The app uses the iPhone/iPod’s on board light as a flashlight which can be used with a strobe function. Additional features include a shot timer, the ability to record range sessions to video, up to 5X digital zoom, and even local GPS coordinates and local wind direction and speed.
The InteliScope is currently available for iPhone 4S and 5; the Android version will be available in September.

Mountain High Equipment offers a few products in a fairly large selection of camouflages including MultiCam, ACU, and Woodland, along with more generic patterns. What probably gathers the most attention among their product line, however, is the lingerie selection. Oh, and it ain’t just for the ladies, either.

This May Be The Only Way You’ll Ever Own A Pair Of GPNVG -UPDATED-
Monday, July 8th, 2013
I made a bit of a blunder yesterday; turns out the original GPNVG I posted was only a 1/6th scale model. These, however, are in fact full sized. The GPNVG18 Dummy (Standard Version) by Spartan Airsoft Tactical is made from ABS plastic and (sadly) features no powered components. There was also a deluxe version that did light up, but it was limited to 800 pieces, so it could be quite a bit harder to get a hold of a set.
