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.

Nerf Zombie Strike Line
Saturday, July 13th, 2013
Nerf is getting into the zombie game with their upcoming line of Zombie Strike blasters. Details include the Zombie Strike logo and wooden and tape decorations, to give each blaster that ‘post-apocalyptic’ DIY repair feel. Two blasters, the above Hammershot and the Sledgefire, will be available September 1st at Target stores. The rest of the line, which includes a crossbow, more blasters, targets, and a sword, will be available through the rest of 2013 into 2014.

Camouflage Lingerie – Mountain High Equipment
Friday, July 12th, 2013
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.

Electric Amphibious Vehicle
Wednesday, June 26th, 2013
Available from Frontgate, the Electric Amphibious Vehicle is an RC boat capable of land navigation with the push of a button. When in land mode, the EAV can carry up to four beverages via the wheel wells and features independent left and right wheel controls for 360° spins. It also comes with an on-board water cannon, should the need to douse unsuspecting victims arise. Electric Amphibious Vehicle is a little misleading, though; Electric Amphibious Drink Cart would be more accurate, if not as impressive, product name.
