Somebody should make a 10 hour version of this video, just for kicks.

#DIRTYLAUNDRY – NSFW
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012*Spoiler alert*
It’s a Punisher fan-film. In fact, it’s a brilliant Punisher fan-film that shows just how perfect Thomas Jane is for the role of Frank Castle. Add in Ron Perlman in a cameo role and plenty of that classic Punisher-style ultra-violence justice, and you’ve got a winner of a video.
Oh, and a fair bit of warning: between the language and the bone breaking, head smashing, gunshots, and leg biting, this video definitely earns its place in the NSFW category.
America’s Army Motion Comics
Tuesday, July 17th, 2012There’s now an app available on iTunes and Google Play built to view the America’s Army digital comic series. The comics feature sounds, including a musical score, and some limited animation, detailing conflict in the country of Czervenia (FYI, not a real country). The app itself also has some dvd menu-esque features, such as scene select, character bios, and information on Army ranks, equipment, vehicles, and techniques. The first issue is already out, and although there’s an impressive amount of detail and realism in the uniforms, the weapons, and the like (it is military funded, after all), the story could be, well, more entertaining. This also applies to the dialogue which can be comically awful at times; you just have to read it to see what we mean.

Camo Bolt Action Pen
Monday, July 16th, 2012
It’s the ultimate firearm-inspired writing implement! The pen releases and retracts via bolt action, a rifle pocket clip holds the pen, and the piece itself is modeled after a .30 caliber cartridge with a rose gold bullet tip. Add in the camouflage body, and you’ve got a pretty cool looking (if pricy) pen.
The Desktop Ballista
Sunday, July 15th, 2012Another Kickstarter project with a cool product, this time from a group named Legion-10 for the creation of Desktop Ballistae. The kits consist of laser cut hardwood and take roughly 30 minutes to construct. A deluxe version that uses a horse hair rope along with brass and steel parts (for added realism) and a ballista target is available at higher donation levels. Additionally, custom laser engraving is also an option.
The project’s already over 10 times its minimum required pledge level, but a sufficiently high donation will guarantee a Ballista for those interested.

Thursday, July 12th, 2012As far as a mindless action video game based on a mindless action movie this one actually looks pretty decent, and it’s a downloadable title which means it’ll be pretty cheap to boot.

Silencerco Announces SuperiorSilence.com
Wednesday, July 11th, 2012
Silencerco has just announced the launch of SuperiorSilence.com, where customers can currently shop for Silencerco, ‘Silencers Are Legal’, and SWR products.

The site menu is organized by brand, so customers can easily determine what they need while a dealer locator helps customers to connect with a local dealer that carries Silencerco and SWR products.
In honor of Independence Day, ten percent of proceeds from sales made on SuperiorSilence.com through the month of July will benefit the veteran support network Gallant Few.

BBC Multi Camo Molle Jacket
Sunday, July 8th, 2012
What you’re looking at right now is the Billionaire Boys Club Multi Camo Molle Jacket. It’s decked out in khaki-ish PALS webbing with a green “Multi Camo” pattern, with two front square pockets and adjustable button closures at the end of each cuff. BBC Astronaut embroidered patchwork is present on the front chest and the left arm has a “BBC Astronaut BB” patch. It also costs 330 USD; need I say more?
Hat Tip: Upscale Hype, where you can also see pictures of Jay-Z wearing it at the fairly recent BBC Radio 1′s Hackney Weekend (if you’re into that sort of thing).

Saturday, July 7th, 2012
‘The Blackwater Chronicles’ is an upcoming graphic novel series by artist and writer Billy Tucci that deals in non-fiction accounts of the former private security company, Blackwater.

Assassin’s Creed Replica Hidden Blade Vambrace
Friday, July 6th, 2012
NECA is releasing a replica of the hidden blade as used by Ezio Auditore da Firenze in the Assassin’s Creed series of video games. Made of PVC and ABS plastics, it’s highly detailed with a surprisingly quick spring loaded action that launches the roughly 15″ plastic blade with the push of a button; a safety lock mechanism helps to prevent any unwarranted deployments of said blade. An adjustable buckle and Velcro straps keep the replica secure on the user’s wrist. It’s available exclusively through GameStop and will be released October 30th of this year. There’s also a video the pre-order site, so you can see it in action.
Drive A Tank
Thursday, July 5th, 2012
I first heard about Drive A Tank on NPR of all things, and the idea, while familiar, intrigued me: a company that specializes in recreational tank driving. Of course, we’ve already written about Armourgeddon Tank Paintball, and if the interview on NPR is any indication this is the very company that inspired the creation of Drive A Tank. Drive A Tank, however, is located in Kasota, Minnesota instead of Leicestershire, England, so it’s a bit more realistic that our CONUS-based readers would be able to make a visit.
Drive A Tank offers progressively pricier package deals which allow for the operation of the following vehicles: the FV 433 Abbott, FV432 APC, and Chieftain Main Battle Tank, which is used mainly to crush cars in the appropriately named “single car crush” or “double car crush” packages. Each deal includes a safety and introduction class and a hands on tour and photo op. Each package also comes with the opportunity to test fire from their collection of historic firearms in an indoor fire range.
LEGO Portal Set
Wednesday, July 4th, 2012
Tactical Fanboy loves the video games of Valve. So, when the chance to have a LEGO set, or three, made that’s based on the brilliant and justifiably popular ‘Portal’ series of games, we’re totally behind the effort. Using LEGO CUUSOO, where an idea and 10,000 supporters can turn almost any project into an official LEGO set (with 1% of net profits going to the creators), Brickthing has introduced 3 unique designs for LEGO sets based on ‘Portal’: GLaDOS’ Chamber, Modular Testing Chamber, and Portal Puzzle Board Game. The project’s only about 3,000 votes away from becoming reality, so chances are good it’ll be made. This is great news, considering that we already bought the Minecraft set created as a result of CUUSOO.
Thanks for Having Balls as Big as Church Bells

It took some nuts to tell mother England to get stuffed. I want to thank the Signers of the Declaration of Independence for showing some ‘nads. We owe it to you guys.

Happy 4th, everybody!
SPP-1 Underwater Pistol
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012
The SPP-1 is a Cold War-era firearm of Russian make, designed specifically for use by Soviet Frogmen. It fires 4.5mm steel darts from four individual barrels. The pistol uses a double action firing mechanism and fires each barrel one at at time, with the striker (mounted on a rotating base) rotating to each barrel as the trigger is pulled. Also developed was the Avtomat Podvodnyi Spetsialnyi, an underwater assault rifle that fired 5.66mm darts and was fed using a 26-round detachable box magazine. Of course, the Soviets weren’t unique in their development of multi-barreled underwater firearms: the Underwater Defense Gun Mark 1 Mod 0 and H&K P11 were designed and used by the United States and allied nations for similar purposes.

G.I. Joe Retaliation Battle-Kata Blaster
Saturday, June 30th, 2012
‘G.I. Joe Retaliation’ is coming out soon, and with the release of a movie based on a toy property comes the toy line of the movie based on a toy line. One of the more interesting items to be released is the Battle-Kata Blaster. What makes it so interesting is the grip and trigger can be removed from the blaster and a blade hidden in the forward grip can be attached to it, so the toy functions as a 2-in-1 gun/knife combo. It also comes with 3 blaster bolts, but the blaster uses a psuedo-bolt action that doesn’t launch them very far, so.. eh.
Duffle Bag Back Pack – Indiegogo
Friday, June 29th, 2012Indiegogo is a site much like Kickstarter, where individuals can use cloud/social funding to raise capital for various projects. It also happens to be the platform that Matt Arrell of Home Combat Magazine is using to try and fund his project: converting old military duffel bags into EDC bags. The initial donation will be used to create prototypes for the bags, which will include a hydration bladder pocket and pockets on each of the shoulder straps for holding your cell phone and credentials. If these prototypes prove successful, the plan is to try and move production to a veteran’s homeless shelter in Arizona, which will provide the veterans with jobs and assistance. The project only requires $550 out of a $750 goal with 26 days left at the time of writing. You can find out more information at the project page on Indiegogo.
Infidel Operator Gen II Cap
Friday, June 29th, 2012
The Infidel Operator Gen II Cap, AKA the “Click-Click Bang” Cap is available now from Infidel Caps. Like the original Infidel, the Gen II features an embroidered Arabic and English infidel symbol centered on 2″x3.5″ loop Velcro for the placement of morale patches and a 1″x1″ loop Velcro top for use with I.R. tabs. Instead of the additional rear Velcro the original Infidel had, however, the Gen II has the phrase “I speak Al-Qaeda “Click-Click Bang”” embroidered on that location. Available in Khaki, OD, and MultiCam.
Everyone’s Favorite ‘Star Wars’ Character (Sucks at His Job)
Thursday, June 28th, 2012Everyone’s Favorite ‘Star Wars’ Character (Sucks at His Job) — powered by Cracked.com
This video from Cracked.com, my second-favorite internet time-sink only behind tvtropes, explains exactly why Boba Fett is honestly the worst bounty hunter in the galaxy. While I’m a huge proponent of the Fett, it’s hard to argue against anything pointed out in this video, at least in the films; the Expanded Universe does some amazing things for Boba. Having said that, it’s still the EU, and therefore is completely invalid in any serious Star Wars argument by property of essentially being one ginormous grouping of fan fiction, no matter how ‘canon’ it all is.
