SHOT Show 2014 – Full Motion Video/Torrey Pines Logic

Friday, January 17th, 2014

DSC03087

Torry Pines Logic’s GPH-GSM Super-HERO Vision Gun Scope Adapter is a gun scope adapter for GoPro HERO 3+ cameras. It features an integral watertight plastic HERO 3 housing and requires no modifications to the original camera to work. The Super-HERO utilizes a “…sophisticated imaging formatting relay lens system and high quality optical prism to sample light from the scope and direct it towards the camera.” This allows the user to record full HD video through their gun scope without compromising the scope itself or its functionality. Great for reviewing target groups, documenting shot environment, or recording general performance.

This is the Pentagon Magazine Coupler. Designed to work with the 10-round Ultimag, this device not only facilitates quicker mag reloads and offers a total capacity of 50 rounds, but also can function as an impromptu bipod and/or rifle stand.

At the very least, it’s a novel idea.

The stock adaptor, which makes the attachment of the UBR stock possible, will be available for sale separately and allows for a new avenue of customization for the Vector. Magpul MBUS Sights equipped on the Enhanced Series were designed specifically to match the Vector’s unique shape.

According to KRISS USA Marketing Manager Tim Seargeant, the Enhanced Series will feel familiar to more shooters, making it easier to adapt to the Vector’s futuristic design, and is now more customizable.

“The KRISS Super V technology inside the Vector is designed to enhance shooting performance by mitigating recoil forces. Magpul products aim to enhance shooting performance through external upgrades. The Vector with Magpul accessories is a great pairing.” Seargeant adds.

Tuesday, January 14th, 2014

IMG_0378

The SHOT Show Media Day at the Range had a lot of great offerings, but S.W.O.R.D. International’s MK-18 Mod 0 ‘Mjölnir’ really stood out.

IMG_0382

The Mjölnir is a semi-auto, gas piston rifle chambered for .338 Lapua. It features a 22″ Lothar Walther button rifled, black nitride coated barrel. The upper receiver is SWORD CNC machined out of 7075-T6 aluminum; proprietary lines reduce felt vibration, and a unique brass deflector kicks brass forward and away. The lower receiver is also SWORD CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum. The proprietary bolt carrier is black nitride coated. The Mjölnir also features a heavy buffer and return spring, non-reciprocating side charging handle, CMC enhanced 3.5lbs trigger, and full length free floating KeyMod rail system.

Sadly, I didn’t get a chance to shoot this beast – it was display only. There’s also plans to release a .308 variant further down the road.
