The folks at InteliScope, LLC were kind enough to send us a prototype tactical mount and access to their beta app. The tactical mount secures snugly to a standard picatinny rail. Although it wasn’t included, an additional component would allow the mount to be attached to a Nerf N-Strike rail. The mount comes with three cases, sized for an iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPod touch. The cases are made from a hard, lightweight plastic and feature 32 square holes on the back that allow the device to attach to the mount.
The InteliScope app allows the device to function like a red dot sight, with an enhanced HUD. Given that the app’s purpose is largely as a training aid, virtually all aspects of the HUD can be changed: the zero, the reticle style and color, ballistics and firearm data, and whether certain elements are even visible on the screen. The app uses the iPhone/iPod’s on board light as a flashlight which can be used with a strobe function. Additional features include a shot timer, the ability to record range sessions to video, up to 5X digital zoom, and even local GPS coordinates and local wind direction and speed.
The InteliScope is currently available for iPhone 4S and 5; the Android version will be available in September.

Mountain High Equipment offers a few products in a fairly large selection of camouflages including MultiCam, ACU, and Woodland, along with more generic patterns. What probably gathers the most attention among their product line, however, is the lingerie selection. Oh, and it ain’t just for the ladies, either.

We’ve already posted how to field strip a Glock the EyeHandy way, now it’s the black rifle’s turn.
I made a bit of a blunder yesterday; turns out the original GPNVG I posted was only a 1/6th scale model. These, however, are in fact full sized. The GPNVG18 Dummy (Standard Version) by Spartan Airsoft Tactical is made from ABS plastic and (sadly) features no powered components. There was also a deluxe version that did light up, but it was limited to 800 pieces, so it could be quite a bit harder to get a hold of a set.

The Battle Axe was designed to look like a padded nylon guitar case externally, but hold carbines up to AK-47 length internally. External pockets allow for magazines, parts, and other equipment. As a bonus, it can even hold most electric guitars, although the tie-downs are meant for a rifle. The Battle Axe comes in Black and Coyote, and the shoulder strap is sold separately.
