Friday, April 29th, 2016
Anovos is a company that deals in high-quality, licensed props from popular science-fiction properties, such as Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars. This time, they’re offering a movie-accurate Proton Pack Kit from the original Ghostbusters movies. The kit is constructed of fiberglass, metal, polyurethane, PVC, and ABS plastic, and comes complete with vinyl decal set and working toggle switches and buttons. It doesn’t come with the glues, paint, and tools necessary to construct it, nor the frame and straps, the later of which is to be sold separately.
Also, they’ll be offering an optional light and sound electronics package with movie sound effects at a later date.

LEGO Ideas – Voltron
Saturday, April 23rd, 2016
An individual with the handle of len_d69 has introduced a proposal on LEGO Ideas (formerly LEGO CUUSOO) for a Voltron set. What makes this doubly cool isn’t just that it’s a Voltron set, but that it’s composed of the five separate lions, and they can form into Voltron, just like in the show. Like all Ideas/CUUSOO proposals, it requires two things: enough user/voter support, and, more importantly, the approval of the original rights holder.

X Products Can Cannon BATF Restrictions Overturned
Thursday, April 21st, 2016
The Can Cannon has been acquitted by the BATF! X Products is pleased to announce the re-launch of the infamous Can Cannon soda can launching system for the AR-15 rifle. The Can Cannon has passed the BATF rubber glove test with flying colors. This means that the Can Cannon is 100% street legal and can be attached to an AR-15 lower receiver without being classified as a short barrel rifle or short barrel shotgun. For existing customers this entails a simple part swap, which we’ll be providing free of charge. New customers won’t have to do anything, our re-designed Can Cannon will feature our design changes right out of the box. Here’s the meat and potatoes of the BATF approval letter:
“Our examination determined that the aforementioned design features, combined with thepresence of a permanent and substantial blocking feature located directly in front of the barrel chamber, prevents the chambering of a commercially available .223 Remington caliber ammunition cartridge. FTISB found the submitted sample is designed to only accept a 5.56mm or .223 Remington caliber blank cartridge and the “barrel portion” of the “Can Cannon” incorporating a chamber, is not a firearm barrel.
As a result, if the submitted Can Cannon were assembled to an AR-type firearm receiver incorporating a shoulder stock, this assembly or aggregate of parts would not constitute a “firearm” as defined in the NFA, 26 U.S.C 5845(a)(5). Such an assembly of either of the aforementioned scenarios is lawful.”

Threadsmiths – Cavalier Dress Shirt
Saturday, April 16th, 2016
Threadsmiths is a company based out of Melborne, Australia which has developed a patented hydrophobic nanotechnology application that repels water and dirt. Their first product was the Cavalier t-shirt, and they’ll soon be expanding their product line with the Cavalier Dress Shirt. Like the Cavalier T-shirt, the Cavalier Dress Shirt is capable of repelling any water-based liquids, and any left over “stains” can easily be washed away with the application of more water.
This is a pre-order, so expect it to be available soon.

Nuka Cola Quantum Available Direct From Jones
Friday, April 15th, 2016
If you missed out on your chance to pick up a pack of Nuka Cola Quantum-branded Jones Soda from your local Target store, you’re (kinda) in luck. Jones is currently selling it direct to the consumer, however there is a few caveats:
1) One order per person – 4 bottles per order
2) Quantity is limited
3) It’s pretty darn expensive
On that last bit, it’s not online auction price bad, but at $27/4 bottles, it’s pretty close. This is purely a collectors item, folks. If you want the taste, crack open a Jones Berry Lemonade instead; it’s the same thing.

Wednesday, April 13th, 2016A Red, White, And Blue Plate Carrier Is Now Available From Mission Spec
Tuesday, April 12th, 2016 
As a company that is happy to accept custom work orders we are asked, fairly consistently, if Mission Spec can build a Red, White, and Blue EOC plate carrier for novelty use. The answer is of course, yes. We have built many of these for different customers and are happy to do it. Customers wanting pricing information on a custom build such as this should use our website contact. It will speed up the process if you include your shipping address with the initial inquiry.
Please note that building a product in this color scheme dictates that we must use some non-MilSpec materials. In other words this specific item SHOULD NEVER be used in a life support capacity. It will also NOT come with our limited lifetime warranty. It is purely cosmetic and to be used only for novelty purposes.
SilencerCo Announces Spring Clothing Line
Monday, April 11th, 2016
SilencerCo’s new Spring clothing line was designed to promote the new millennial shift and consumer in the firearms industry. Through this new line, SilencerCo is pairing Marvel characters and other iconic images with their #FightTheNoise campaign, as well as placing special focus on their upcoming Maxim 9 integrally-suppressed 9mm pistol.
Below is a quote from SilencerCo CEO Josh Waldron regarding the direction they’re taking with their new lifestyle line:
“SilencerCo is able to reach the younger millennial audience because that’s actually a large portion of the people who make up our company. We can understand and market to that group because we are that group. My advice to companies looking to reach a younger demographic would be to consider hiring professionals from that particular demographic to run your marketing division; that way, you produce content that speaks to your desired market and really hits the mark.”
– Josh Waldron, CEO
