The Star Wars license can be found all over the place, from the expected – toys, games, clothing, collectables, to the weird – instruments, cookbooks, and even a sick bag. This line of fitness equipment from Onnit edges more towards the weird side, not so much because it’s fitness equipment with Star Wars licensing, but because it consists of items including a Death Star slam ball and a Boba Fett kettlebell. After all, there’s no better way to get in shape than cleaning a galactic bounty hunter’s head, or doing yoga on Han Solo’s carbonited body.

Giaco Whatever – 4000 PSI BB Gun VS Coca Cola Experiment
Monday, July 3rd, 2017YouTube channel Giaco Whatever took a homemade, multi-barrel BB gun featured in a previous video, and upped the PSI from 130 to 4000, in addition to loading the gun with metal BBs. The end result is something that is understandably quite destructive.
Don’t try this at home, seriously.

Thursday, June 22nd, 2017This is an M27 LAW anti-tank launcher replica, made into a pillow. It doesn’t have any function, aside from that already offered by a soft pillow. Its design does allow it to be used for MilSim, if warranted.

Thomas The RC Hexapod
Sunday, March 12th, 2017I was on Reddit earlier today, and happened upon this .gif of a RC Hexapod modified with a Thomas the Tank Engine turret, complete with a working flamethrower. To be blunt, I found it hilarious, and thankfully the source was provided in the thread, which can be seen above.
It’s a product of YouTube channel PeterSripol, who modified the original Hexapod into the monstrosity it now is.

Paper Airplane Gun PFM-A5
Sunday, January 1st, 2017It’s inventive, and it has ‘gun’ in its name, so I’m obligated to write about it.

It loads from a reward paper tray, and sports a fire rate of up to 120 planes/min.

ThinkGeek – Star Wars Millennium Falcon Multi-Tool Kit
Saturday, December 17th, 2016I like multitools. I like Star Wars. Still, this feels like a line that just didn’t need to be crossed; two things that honestly had no logic to be combined. I’m talking about ThinkGeek’s officially-licensed Millennium Falcon Multi-Tool kit. Shaped like everyone’s favorite smuggler’s ship, this particular multitool comes complete with four hex keys, two screwdrivers, and an adjustable wrench.
If they’ll make the Millennium Falcon into a multitool, when’s ‘Star Wars’ the flamethrower?
A3 Tactical – Double Picatinny Clamp
Thursday, December 15th, 2016This little device is A3 Tactical’s Double Picatinny Clamp. As the name implies, the Double Picatinny Clamp is designed to mount one Picatinny rail to another, providing, as A3 states, “virtually limitless possibilities… only limited by your imagination” in regards to accessories, guns, and gear featuring Picatinny-spec rails, at least. It’s CNC machined from 6061 aluminum, and its design prevents fore/aft movement of the rails, as well as preventing marring of your rails thanks to dowels that are machined slightly taller than the industry-standard Picatinny groove.
Of course, A3’s Double Picatinny Clamp does also give you the option to attach entire firearms to one another, creating combinations such as this:
Or this (please note that NFA regulations will apply when using this product for this purpose):

Cards Against Humanity – The Holiday Hole
Friday, November 25th, 2016Every year around the holidays, the Cards Against Humanity team comes up with a new gimmick. Last year, for Black Friday, they sold literally nothing… for $5 a pop. Unabashed capitalism at its finest.
This year, they’re digging a hole. And that’s pretty much it.
The reason we brought this up is because our friends at Tacticalgear.com donated a $1001 towards this funny but ultimately pointless endeavor. In fact, here’s the email they received after their donation:

TAC-SAC – Get Your Balls Back America
Sunday, October 23rd, 2016There’s not a lot that needs to be said about the TAC-AC. Rather, it’s something that you get, once youve seen. Unfortunately, in this day and age, the TAC-SAC may be offensive to some, so I’ll suggest you not go to the jump unless you’re sure your career won’t be in jeopardy. (more…)
Chuck Norris Launches Bottled Water Brand Called CFORCE
Monday, October 10th, 2016This is a cross-post from sister site Soldier Systems Daily. It’s too apropos for the usual coverage on this site not to share here.
Billed as a ‘Force of Nature’, new CFORCE from Chuck Norris is bottled right on his Lone Wolf Ranch in Navasota, TX. As you can imagine, if Chuck Norris is involved it’s not going to come from some boring tap in a factory. On no; according to the webiste, ‘doesn’t flow from the ground; it bursts from an artesian spring with the same unharnessed power and intensity you’d expect from Chuck Norris’ roundhouse kick.’ Pretty awesome.
Please note, a portion of CFORCE sales benefit environmental initiatives and KICKSTART KIDS—a charity that empowers at-risk youth. The Norris family has supported these causes for more than 25 years.
Thanks for the heads up Nate! Stay safe out there!

Blue Bell – Camo ‘n Cream
Tuesday, September 6th, 2016Blue Bell has released a camouflage-inspired ice cream flavor named, appropriately enough, ‘Camo ‘n Cream’. The ice cream is composed of three separate flavors: Pistachio Almond, Milk Chocolate and cream cheese. It should be on store shelves, although it will be a limited release.
Tactical Outfitters – Dickbutt Air Freshener
Saturday, August 27th, 2016If you’re not familiar with Dickbutt, it’s an internet meme; ’nuff said about that (Google it if you’re interested). Given the name, and the potential smells associated with said name, any wariness about the odor of an air freshner such as this one is fully understood, but it smells fine, honest! Just a generic, ‘fresh’-smelling air freshner… that looks like Dickbutt.
CP Gear – BeerArmour
Tuesday, June 14th, 2016This might be a little late for Father’s Day but it’s still right on time for the summer. The BeerArmour from CP Gear is a little armor vest in CADPAT for your Molsen.
Padded and featuring PALS webbing, CP Gear can embroider up to nine characters on the BeerArmour. Also availabke in Woodland, Black and Coyote.
Cabot Guns – Meteorite Pistols
Wednesday, June 8th, 2016Cabot Guns’ Big Bang Pistol Set, also known as the Meteorite Pistols (insert some play on words about ‘Space-Age Materials’) are a unique set of two 1911s. They were made from an iron-nickel alloy obtained from a meteorite that crashed into what is now Gibeon, Namibia, billions of years ago. Reportedly, the pistols are valued at approximately $5 million, although it remains to be seen wether anyone is willing to pay that much for them.
You can find out more about the pistols at cabotgun.com
The Tactical Vape Shop
Tuesday, May 10th, 2016There’s gotta be a joke about a smoking barrel or something in this. Also, I have to wonder if their vaporizers come with Picatinny rails.

Nuka Cola Quantum Available Direct From Jones
Friday, April 15th, 2016If you missed out on your chance to pick up a pack of Nuka Cola Quantum-branded Jones Soda from your local Target store, you’re (kinda) in luck. Jones is currently selling it direct to the consumer, however there is a few caveats:
1) One order per person – 4 bottles per order
2) Quantity is limited
3) It’s pretty darn expensive
On that last bit, it’s not online auction price bad, but at $27/4 bottles, it’s pretty close. This is purely a collectors item, folks. If you want the taste, crack open a Jones Berry Lemonade instead; it’s the same thing.
