Prometheus Design Werx – Ti-FS Mk2 Survival Lighter

Wednesday, June 10th, 2020

A durable and reliable lighter is a major boon to any survival or outdoors kit, and Prometheus Design Werx’s Ti-FS Mk2 Survival Lighter is designed to handily fulfill that role. The Mk2 features an 6AL-4V titanium chassis, with a stonewashed tumble and bead peened finish, and a plated brass lighter core.

The exterior is clearly modeled after the WWII-era Mk 2 ‘pineapple’ grenade – which also lends towards the lighter’s name – which provides a better grip surface for cold/wet conditions. The lighter is weather-resistant, with an o-ring seal to keep moisture out of the interior.

The Mk2 comes packaged in a reusable survival tin with extra flints, a spare wick, and two extra o-rings.

Nerf Ultra Two Motorized Blaster

Sunday, May 31st, 2020

The NERF Ultra Two is part of Hasbro’s latest line of NERF blasters, named after their new “Farthest flying NERF darts ever!”, the Ultra dart. The blaster is battery powered, and fires from an enclosed, rear-mounted “fast-back” 6-dart cylinder. To fire, you hold down an acceleration button which powers the on-board motor, then the trigger to fire a dart. This blaster also features a nondescript accessory rail along the 12 and 6 o’clock positions of the frame, however none of the official product descriptions note whether these rails are compatible with existing NERF N-Strike accessories, however given how similar the rails look, I’d hazard a guess and say, yes, they do.

The Ultra dart itself features a new aerodynamic design, with stabilizing “Aerofin Technology” on the rear of the dart, along with a segmented lightweight foam and a newly designed flight tip. According to Hasbro, these darts are capable of firing out to 120 ft (or 36m for our international friends), although results may vary.

Available wherever NERF products are sold.

‘The Mandalorian’ is, save ‘Rogue One’, the only salvageable thing to come out of Disney’s acquisition of the Star Wars property.

The IG-88 figure comes complete with the following accessories:

One (1) pair of articulated mechanical graspers

One (1) heavy blaster

One (1) blaster rifle

One (1) leather-like double shoulder belt with ammo pouches

Specially designed desert-themed figure stand with Star Wars logo and character nameplate

Noah Gragson’s No. 9 Xfinity Series Car to Feature TrueTimber® Camo for NASCAR’s Return to Racing

In Search of Tomorrow – The Definitive 80’s Sci-Fi Documentary (Official Trailer)

Sunday, May 17th, 2020

80s Sci-Fi movies get a bit of play here on this site, so it seemed appropriate to bring up a 4 hour documentary on the very subject. ‘In Search of Tomorrow’ is intended as the “Definitive 80’s Sci-Fi documentary”, consisting of “interviews with actors, directors, writers, SFX experts, and composers” of these beloved films.

Movies such as Escape from New York (one of my personal favorites, if it wasn’t clear), Predator, Aliens, RoboCop, The Wrath of Kahn, and much more will be the focus of the documentary. Cast and crew alike have been interviews, discussing the characters, special effects, production design, socio/political context, and legacy of these films, so it’s shaping up to be a pretty comprehensive documentary.

It’s currently up for funding on Kickstarter, but has blown past it’s initial goal of $40,000 and is currently up to a bit over $520k at the time of writing, with only 10 hours to go on the campaign – this one’s a sure thing.

All the same, you can check out the link below to pledge to the campaign, maybe have your name as part of the credits:

First Colorado Agency Implements Viridian Gun Cameras

Tuesday, May 12th, 2020

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – May 11, 2020 – The Kit Carson County Sheriff’s Office has deployed the FACT Duty™ Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC™). Sheriff Tom Ridnour has been working to equip his force for modern policing over the last year. Every sworn deputy of the Eastern Colorado county now has a Weapon-Mounted Camera in the field to compliment body cameras.

The rural force is responsible for patrolling over 2,000 square miles that includes the border with Kansas. Sheriff Ridnour has been working to implement Viridian gun cameras, and was able to get them deployed on March 1 of this year. That timing coincided with the first time footage from Viridian’s gun camera was used in an officer-involved shooting (OIS) trial in Texas. A jury quickly convicted the defendant of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a public official. The WMC provided the critical evidence in the case by showing the defendant pointing a sawed-off shotgun at Vernon, Texas Police Corporal T.J. Session.

“The Weapon-Mounted Cameras provide a new layer of visibility and perspective for our deputies,” said Sheriff Ridnour. “As a rural force, we cover a huge area with a limited number of personnel. The range of responsibilities our deputies have is equally as great—and knowing we now have the FACT Duty gun cameras in the field gives us even more coverage and awareness.”

Viridian has created an important category for law enforcement with the introduction of the Weapon-Mounted Camera. This distinctive camera provides an unobstructed view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras.

“Sheriff Ridnour has been dedicated to bringing the latest technologies to his department, and we’re thrilled he added the FACT Duty,” Viridian President and CEO, Brian Hedeen, said. “Our technology can be a supplement or alternative to body cameras as a mandatory evidentiary tool to provide the critical evidence in an officer involved shooting. We commend Sheriff Ridnour for being the first to deploy in Colorado and wish him and his deputies the best during these unprecedented and challenging times for all first responders.”

The highly advanced WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. Viridian’s proprietary INSTANT-ON® technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment.

More information on the FACT Duty can be found here or by contacting Viridian directly at sales@ViridianWeaponTech.com.

Monday, May 11th, 2020

French film production and distribution company StudioCanal, which late last year released 4k restorations of some of John Carpenter’s most iconic films, is adding the cult classic Flash Gordon to their 4k restoration offerings. No word on a theatrical release for this one, however like the previously mentioned Carpenter films, the Flash Gordon 4K restoration is receiving its own 4K UHD Collector’s Edition set:

As you can tell from the picture alone, this set comes loaded to the brim with add-ins, including:

● Bonus Blu-Ray Disc of LIFE AFTER FLASH
● Soundtrack
● 32 page booklet
● 16 page Titan mini book (The Story of Flash Gordon)
● Reproduced booklet of the first strip of original comic books
● Poster of original artwork

In addition to a copy of the movie, commentary tracks, documentaries, ect.

It is currently available for pre-order from Amazon.uk, but unfortunately will not ship to the States, so you’ll need to find friends in Transatlantic places, or find another way to get a copy imported if you’re on this side of the pond.

Nebula-75 – Episode One

Wednesday, May 6th, 2020

Are you a fan of the old Supermarionation shows of the 60s like Thunderbirds and Stingray? Then take a peak at this new Supermarionation show, Nebula-75, which depicts the adventures of Commander Ray Neptune and the crew of the spaceship Nebula-75 as they explore uncharted worlds and discover new forms of life. Amazingly, the principal production for this show is done by three members of the Century 21 films crew inside their London flat, which they all share as roommates. Their living room was transformed into a studio, while a combination of household objects and puppets and props from other Supermarionation productions were used to create the set and the characters for the show. A worldwide crew of remote workers contributed to pre and post-production.

If you like what you see, there’s already a second episode available:

The design allows for incredibly dexterous hand movement while utilizing a glove, and they have a great selection of features, including the touchscreen compatible forefinger and thumb, the elastic wrist for easier don and doff, and the paracord pull loop.

Well, equally awesome small batch gear and apparel company Triple Aught Design is partnering up with PIG to produce a PIG FDT Delta+ Glove TAD Edition.

NEW “SideSlinger” Scoped Leather Holster by TANDEMKROSS

Friday, April 10th, 2020

For Immediate Release
April 10, 2020

WEARE, NH — TANDEMKROSS is excited to announce the launch of our latest high quality firearm accessory. Introducing the all new “SideSlinger” Scoped Leather Holster.
Every detail of this premier holster has been carefully tailored to ensure it truly stands out in a crowd. Made of high quality, full-grain brown leather, this holster will last its user a lifetime. Even the edges have been burnished and hand dyed for a beautiful finish.

This holster comfortably fits a number of the most popular single stack .22lr platforms in use. The “SideSlinger” fits the Ruger® Mark™ and Mark 22/45™ Series, Smith & Wesson® SW22 VICTORY®, and most Browning® Buck Mark models. This is partly thanks to a double button strap that allows the wearer to keep their pistol safe and secure by adjusting the proper level of tension necessary for their specific pistol.

The “SideSlinger” is scoped, meaning there is a section cut out to make space for wearers’ various optics setups. More than that, the end is open in order to allow for various barrel lengths and aftermarket barrel attachments as well.

“The TANDEMKROSS ‘SideSlinger’ was designed from the beginning to fulfill the need for a high quality leather holster for many popular rimfire pistols using red dots and other optics. The ‘SideSlinger’ is hand crafted in the US using top quality leather and is built for a lifetime of use.” — Eric Paulson Business Development Manager

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered – Official Trailer

Tuesday, March 31st, 2020

Every year, there’s a new Call of Duty, but for Activision, for whom there can never be enough market saturation of their cash cow franchise, more Call of Duty must be better. So, they’ve just released a prettied-up version of 2009’s Modern Warfare 2, at least the campaign portion. It’s also Playstation 4 exclusive until April 30th, after which it will also be available on PC and Xbox One.

It’s up to you and your nostalgia as to whether this is worth the $20 price tag (heh, Price).

Polymer80 – PF320PTEX Grip Module

Sunday, March 29th, 2020

The inherent modularity of the SIG Sauer P320 platform and its serialized fire control group has led several manufacturers to release their own P320 grip modules, and following this trend Polymer80 has just released their own module, the PF320PTEX. Made from Polymer80’s own proprietary blend of reinforced polymer, the PF320PTEX is recognizably a Polymer80 design with its straighter angles and edges reminiscent of the PF940 Glock-compatible frame line, and the unique Polymer80 grip texture featured on the pistol grip and index pads of the module. The PF320PTEX is noted to have a 1911 grip angle, as well as a high beavertail undercut, double undercut trigger guard, and a proprietary ambidextrous magazine release.

The PF320PTEX is compatible with the following P320 slide assemblies:

P320 Full & Carry
P320 X5 Full & Carry
P320 VTac

Killer Instinct® SWAT™ XP Crossbow in Popular TrueTimber® Strata New for 2020

Thursday, March 26th, 2020

INMAN, S.C. – March 26, 2020 – Killer Instinct is set to introduce the new SWAT XP Crossbow decorated in the TrueTimber Strata camouflage pattern. Attendees of ATA were able to get a first-hand look at the impressive new bow that is revolutionary for the new year. The SWAT XP delivers superior speed, extreme precision and balanced control all while maintaining a compact design.

“Strata continues to show its versatility in terms of the application of a multipurpose camouflage, and we are very excited to see it utilized on this crossbow,” said TrueTimber CEO Rusty Sellars. “Killer Instinct is a great partner that produces extremely high-quality bows. The SWAT XP Crossbow paired with Strata is going to be to a very effective combination for hunters in seasons to come.”

TrueTimber Strata

TrueTimber Strata incorporates both macro and micro camo schematics—the macro design breaks up the human outline at all distances while the micro elements melt into any terrain at close range. From the open country of the west to the mixed forests of the south and to the leaf-barren late season hardwoods of the east, customers simply won’t find a more effective all-purpose pattern.

Killer Instinct SWAT XP

The All-New Killer Instinct® SWAT™ XP is an ultra-compact 27-inch crossbow shooting 415 FPS that is unmatched in balance and control. Featuring the exclusive Killer Instinct Accutac™ Barrel System, the SWAT XP changes the game when it comes to broadhead accuracy. The enclosed 360-degree revolutionary design provides greater guidance and support to reduce the amount of crossbolt oscillation. The crossbow cocks down to an ultra-narrow 9.5-inches wide, creating a crossbow that’s unparalleled in balance, control and fit.

Duke Cannon PSA Posters

Saturday, March 21st, 2020

Duke Cannon Supply Co., a hygiene product company that produces US Military-inspired products, such as their “Big Ass Brick of Soap” – which is inspired by the soap issued to G.I.s during the Korean War, has released a series of free .pdf posters based on vintage WWII-era wartime propaganda posters. Except instead of cautioning against enemy espionage or encouraging the purchase of war bonds, these posters encourage frequent hand washing, sanitizing your phone, practicing social distancing, and not to horde toilet paper.

Freely print them out and distribute them among the high-traffic areas of your work and home, if you wish.

You can download the entire collection via their website:
