Fallout 4 Adult Coloring Book

Sunday, May 14th, 2017

Adult Coloring Book as in ‘a coloring book based on an M-rated video game’, because based on the preview images the content is fairly tame, although some may consider the Nuka Cola pinup girl a bit racy. Whatever the case, the Fallout 4 Adult Coloring Book comes with 100 pages to color to your heart’s content. Make every character, locale, and weapon within any color you want; it’s your book, after all.

    Evolution Airsoft – TangoDown Enhanced Combat Rifle

    Wednesday, May 10th, 2017

    TangoDown® worldwide release
    Licensed by TangoDown, U.S.A., manufactured by Evolution Airsoft

    The TangoDown Enhanced Combat Rifle (ECR) is available as a Training Tool for MIL/LE and for the Milsim players.

    Evolution Airsoft, a leading manufacturer in the Airsoft Industry proudly annouces the worldwide release of the brand new line of air soft guns and accessories licensed by TangoDown Inc., U.S.A.

    Evolution Airsoft worked hard to deliver to the airsoft community one of the best and most realistic air soft guns ever made using only the best materials and state of the art manufacturing technology.

    As anticipated at the firearms international exhibition IWA2017, the newTangoDown air soft guns are equipped with an aluminum metal body with a peculiar surface treatment to increase its resistance to scratches: the aluminum surface was first hard anodized and then finished matte black to eliminate the typical shine of anodized metal. This is something never seen before on an air soft gun.

    As everybody expects from an air soft gun made by Evolution Airsoft the bolt catch and the dust cover are fully functional, the outer barrel is one piece cnc machined and anodize finished, the precision inner barrel is 6.03mmdiameter.
    The highest performances are grant by a metal hop up chamber loaded withsealing o-rings.

    The TangoDown guns are equipped with a new reinforced gearbox with fully removable spring guide that allows to change the spring without removing the gearbox from the body and with a built in MOSFET, which means a faster trigger response and no more carbonized trigger switch.

    The TangoDown guns belong to the Evolution Airsoft’s Hard Core Series, which means the best of the best and come with loads of TangoDown licensed accessories straight out of the box. All accessories are also sold as separate items and are compatible with any air soft gun on the market.

    Marvel’s The Defenders Official Trailer

    Wednesday, May 3rd, 2017

    While I’ve seen all of ‘Daredevil’ and ‘Luke Cage’, I didn’t watch any of ‘Jessica Jones’, and I only made it through episode 4 of ‘Iron Fist’. Still, even with only having seen a little over half of the Netflix Marvel series, it’s not hard to get at least a bit excited about the upcoming ‘The Defenders’ teamup series. As a bonus, it has the same showrunner as ‘Daredevil’ Season 2, Marco Ramirez, so there’s a better chance it’s more on the ‘Daredevil’ side of quality, and less on the ‘Iron Fist’ side.

    All episodes of ‘The Defenders’ will be available on Netflix starting August 18th, 2017.

    Tokyo Mauri – Thor’s Hammer Albert 02 Airsoft Replica

    Tuesday, May 2nd, 2017

    Untitled

    Tokyo Mauri has been offering Biohazard/Resident Evil-licensed airsoft guns for quite some time now, and they’ll be expanding those offerings with the release of the Albert 02 replica from the upcoming ‘Resident Evil 7: Biohazard’ DLC, ‘Not A Hero’. The Albert 02 is a combat shotgun that will be wielded by series regular Chris Redfield (or is he?). It looks like the 3-way love child of a SCAR, USAS-12, and the forend of a Warsport LVOA.

    The Albert 02 is itself derived from Tokyo Mauri’s ‘Thor’s Hammer’, which is an original airsoft gun created in-house by their design team, and not directly modeled after any real world firearms.

    Look forward to seeing the Albert 02 airsoft replica when it releases this Summer, and the ‘Not A Hero’ DLC when it releases.

    NRAAM 2017 – BAR Floor Lamp

    Monday, May 1st, 2017

    This post was originally published on Soldier Systems Daily.


    If you are looking for the ultimate accessory for your man cave or office, this BAR Floor Lamp I spotted in the Ohio Ordnance booth is just what you need.


    These limited edition lamps are just five of a run of 10 and each one is serialized “x of 10.” They are really cool. The Trigger actually functions as the on/off switch and includes working sights/safety/mag release/bipod. The Barrels are 1944 dated and the base is fashioned into the Ohio Ordnance logo. Finally, this piece of art is signature engraved.


    Brace yourself. The cost is $6500, but they are manufactured from actual BAR parts and not plastic lookalikes.

The NRA Annual Exhibits, this year April 28-30 in Atlanta, Georgia, is one of the most attended consumer gun shows every year.

    Call Of Duty: WWII Reveal Trailer

    Wednesday, April 26th, 2017

    Call of Duty: WWII’s reveal trailer dropped today, offering a blend of ‘Saving Private Ryan’ and ‘Band of Brothers’ mixed with shiny graphics. The reveal itself was pretty bare, as expected, giving virtually no details on the multiplayer, but Nazi Zombies was confirmed, which is great if you’re into that sort of thing. With E3 being as close as it is, they’ll be sure to reveal more WWII info at that show.

    Supposedly, the campaign will be devoid of regenerating health, rather requiring players to seek out a squad medic for healing, and ammo has to be requested from squad mates. Classic WWII weapons such as the M1 Garand, M1903 Springfield, M3 Grease Gun, MG42, and StG 44 were all confirmed either by footage or developer mention, which is obvious, and more weapons are guaranteed to follow as info becomes more available.

    Call of Duty: WWII released November 3rd, 2017.

    Kingsman: The Golden Circle

    Tuesday, April 25th, 2017

    Kingsman – members are named after knights in Authurian legend; makes sense.

    Statesman – members are named after different brands/types of alcohol… ok.

    Still, the first movie was pure gold, and if the sequel has the same level of polish, it’s sure to be a hit.

    Kingsman: The Golden Circle releases September 22, 2017.

    The line includes a distinctive “perfect” shirt collection. The Purpose Shirt, Precision Shirt and Verity Shirt were all developed off of consumer insights on what makes a shirt perfect for concealed carry. The Purpose Shirt features Tac Flow 2.0 fabric, a lightweight, quick-dry fabric that is designed for continuous movement and breathability. The Precision Shirt includes a stain resistant coating to resist oil, water and stains, while the Verity Shirt features plaid fabric to reduce imprinting and breakaway snap plackets to allow for quick access. A new polo in the line called the Cool React Polo features a sweat activated technology on the interior of the fabric, which creates a cooling sensation keeping you both cool and dry.

    In addition to these items, two jackets and a pair of pants will also be available. The garments are designed for operators and personnel who demand a reliable blend of function and security. The balance of the 2017 apparel line is designed to make every-day concealed carry more comfortable with well-designed features and innovative fabrics. Non-printing casual shirts and polos are designed for daily wear and to retain BLACKHAWK! functionality.

    BLACKHAWK!’s steadfast dedication to quality traces back to the roots of the company, and the attention to detail shows in every stitch. That tradition continues with the 2017 apparel line. BLACKHAWK! apparel fights hard and wears easy.

    COD WWII

    OK, so it’s not like it wasn’t already ‘confirmed’ last month, but this is an ‘official’ confirmation. Next Wednesday, 4/26, is the official reveal; a bit earlier than E3, but, hey, who’s gonna complain?

    Based on years past, we should see some early footage next week at the reveal, followed by campaign footage at E3 2017 (edited ‘in the interest of time’), and finally an official multiplayer reveal sometime afterwards, followed by the standard November release.
