GOTHAM – Extended Official Trailer

Wednesday, May 7th, 2014

GOTHAM is the upcoming series which stars Ben McKenzie as a young Jim Gordon working as a cop in Gotham City, also doubling as an origin story for Batman and many of his most famous villians. If this trailer is any indication, they’re being very liberal with many of Batman’s eventual rogues gallery, given many of them seem to be adults when Bruce Wayne himself is only a child.

The Z-Bat is the latest in the line of NERF Zombie themed ‘Zombie Strike’ toys and accessories. It’s a foam bat, made to look like it was modified for an apocalyptic setting: tape wrapped around the handle, broken, jagged head, and metal and barbed wire wrapped around the body.

The Z-Bat is a relatively new product, but it should be available wherever NERF Zombie Strike products are sold.

B&T AG – VP9

Thursday, May 1st, 2014

Vet Pistol

Designed at the request of a large animal doctor who was called out to deal with animals that have been hit by cars on the Autobahn, the VP9 (Veterinarian Pistol – 9mm) is a quiet, single-shot pistol intended use when putting down injured animals and wounded game.

The pistol and suppressor components of the VP9 were developed simultaneously to produce the most quiet 9mm pistol in the world. Capable of a reduction of 31.5 dB, the suppressor is designed so that even standard 124 gr. FMJ ammunition won’t reach supersonic speed, producing a noise level as low as 129 dB – roughly the same level of noise as a car door closing; use of subsonic ammunition further lowers the sound signature to around 125 dB. In fact, according to B&T, the shot is so quiet that manipulating the bolt-like-action to cycle another round is louder than the shot itself.

No word on when the VP9 will be available for purchase, however it was featured in the April 2014 issue of the B&T Partner Update, so expect further updates soon.
