MS ONE Maximum Security (previously titled as ‘Lock-Out’) is an upcoming sci-fi thriller, staring Guy Pearce and Maggie Grace. It’s written and produced by Luc Besson, and takes place in the year 2079 where a man wrongly convicted of conspiracy against the United States must rescue the President’s daughter from a prison controlled by escaped convicts… in space! Sounds like a winner to me!
MS ONE drops April 13th, 2012.
GUNDOG by 39 Degrees North is a tribute to the good old days when action movie terrorists were Eastern European and grizzled detectives played by their own rules (and saved Christmas).
September’s Tac Girl lives with her husband at Ft. Benning, where she and he together train as long distance service providers. (He is a professional ballistic surgeon; she just enjoys it.) She comes from a big family and is a 
mother of four (seriously). Capt. America is her favorite superhero and she’s a loyal fan of Action Figure Therapy. There’s not much else that needs to be said. Please welcome Melissa to Tac Girl of the Week.

Yep. Under the Radar mentioned the new fan filmand from the look of it, it’s going to be pretty sweet (particularly for a fan-made film). The movie (hopeful pilot for an entire fan series) basically follows a rookie Orbital Drop
A scene from the Halo ODST Helljumper fan film, coming out in January.
Shock Trooper from before the Human-Covenant War to the Fall of Reach. If you want to help the film, you can donate money to the cause and earn rank depending on the amount: Grunt, Marine, ODST, Brute Chieftain, etc. Money donated will be used to help fund the film.
Check out the “movie poster”. It’s awesome.
Designed by 6amChris and available on redbubble, this t-shirt print puts a Star Wars twist on the traditional Rifleman’s Creed while also featuring Darth Vader’s lightsaber and the Empire’s symbol. There’s also a Luke Skywalker/Rebel Alliance version, if you’re into that sort of thing.
There are a lot of different zombie targets out there, as we’ve reported before. The ones from Zero Heavy are really good too.
Some of our favorites come from the same place as Zombie Ammo, mostly because the female victims on the hostage “shoot-don’t shoot” targets all have big boobs. Granted, some of the actual zombie targets are lush and buxom too…but since they’re rotting and trying to eat you, it’s not as appealing.
The poor, hapless victim on this target definitely deserves saving.
Sexual harassment is bad enough. Being groped and possibly eaten by a zombie is entirely worse.
In any case, the point of this is that some police agencies and (so we hear) military units with a sense of humor are using zombie scenarios for training (like in this story over on BOLO Report). If you are doing anything similar, or are part of an “official” organization doing something similar, we’d love to hear from you and see some pictures.
This came to us from the Mad Duo. It came to them via one of their tens of thousands of loyal warrior fans…well, that’s an exaggeration, but it did come from one of their friends. Unfortunately we can’t track down whom, to give him credit. Either way, awesome picture!
Edit: This picture hails from the imagination and low light operations of Mike Slutzky, of SCD and the Kit FOB. Please go check ’em out, and thanks Mike!
Hard to imagine doing anything but hunting Muj with thermals and a crossbow would be cooler (well, other than Jai Alai by NVGs).
Check out this video of former SEAL and owner of Trident Fitness Rich Graham as he demonstrates how to shoot from a position of concealment from the back of a truck bed. The targets he’s shooting at are three StrikeMark SM-1 Auto-Reset Target Systems.
Harrison Krix of Volpin Props developed this replica Gravity Gun for the purpose of auctioning it at a dinner benefiting Child’s Play, a charitable organization. In the words of the creator, his last piece “…fetched a little more than twice what my car is worth…”, so it’s not hard to imagine the price will definitely be above what many would consider reasonable. But hey, it’s for charity, right? Plus, the Gravity Gun is from Half-life 2; greatest FPS ever, anyone?
Tactical Fanboy loves hot chicks with guns, especially sniper girls.
What It Is
Everybody knows the popular Christmas Carol, “The 12 Days of Christmas” but what many people don’t know is that it actually starts on the day after Christmas and ends on the 6th of January. Well this year, Tactical Fanboy will be working with The BOLO Report and Soldier Systems Daily to bring you the 12 Days of Tactical Christmas.
How It Works
We have lined up a seriously cool (and tacti-cool) list of sponsors and, just like in the song, each day we will give away the requisite number of items. For example on the fist day we will give away a single item to a single winner. On the second day we will give away two of the same item, one each to two different winners. On the third day, three winners will each receive an item and so on, and so on until 78 total prizes have been awarded.
How To Enter
Each day, we will post the days giveaway on one of the three websites. The rules for that day will be included in the post. To enter, you will have to follow the instructions which will consist of responding to a question in the comments section of THAT post. There will be a limited period of time to respond and then the comments will be closed. Once the comments are closed the day’s winners will be randomly selected and contacted via the email provided in the comments. This is why it is imperative that you provide a valid email address. If you don’t, we can’t contact you to tell you you’ve won.
It probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to be a fan of one or two or all three on Facebook…you know, just in case…Soldier Systems, BOLO Report and of course Tactical Fanboy.
Look for a special surprise at the end of the 12 days. It’s going to blow you away!
No purchase necessary.
Void where prohibited.
Unclaimed prizes will be forfeit.
If there’s nothing in the prize list you want or need, then you’re probably a hippie, a peace protester or the greatest and most accomplished geardo in the history of guys that collect Gucci kit.
…as if the holidays weren’t stressful enough!
Zombies can ruin the mistletoe, even on the most festive occasions.
We like Team Unicorn.

Tactical Concealment, an Arizona based company that makes sniper apparel, tactical gear and other kit for military, LE and other personnel, is offering free shipping until December 25th to any shipping address in the greater 28 states. (Sorry Alaska, Hawaii and assorted territories.) You can check them out on line or visit their Facebook page.
SAR Global Tools has a nice little ESAR type tool (well, ESAR if you’re the one lost) called the Eclipse. Many of you will have already heard of it. The Mad Duo talked about it over on Kit Up! and it’s been reviewed in a number of places. Anyway, they have another version that has a little emergency blade on it as well. Check out the SAR Eclipse Signal System/knife (SESS/k). For about $50 with shipping you can get one for anyone that goes out shooting, hiking, backpacking, camping, canoeing, OWSing (just kidding), geocaching, whatever…and, since a lot of the cool kids (and even cooler kids) are doing it, you add a little more bit of realism to your MilSim kit. Here’s what Marsec has to say about it. This is the manufacturer’s explanation of the original and here it is on Facebook.
We tried to find a picture of a hawt chick signalling for help in a skimpy outfit, but apparently a lot of hawt chicks have either never heard of the Eclipse or they’re just not bright enough to use it (no offense to any hawt chicks that have gotten lost).
Animated gifs are wonderful, especially when gathering intel on Cthulhu.
So lifelike.
The ‘Weapons of Mass Creation’ series is a set of prints by Justin Kamerer of Angryblue that each feature items related to a subject which form the contents of a different weapon: ‘Music’, ‘Cooking’, and ‘Art’ are a tank, grenade, and bomb, respectively. The prints are available for individual sale or as a set, and are limited to 150 pieces each. They’re pretty damn cool looking regardless of any message the artist may or may not have been trying to convey.
We like these skivvies. You may recall that we’ve discussed RE Factor Tactical in the past, as has Soldier Systems when they talked about the RE Factor 9-Line placard. Well, they’ve got some very nice new apparel for the tactical lady in your life (or just a lady you’d like to get tactical with). Check out the RE Factor Tactical Women’s MRE Panties. Unlike the standard MREs that are good mostly for industrial grade constipation and some pungent aromas in the hooch, these actually look appetizing. From the company: “Mmmm… an MRE you can actually enjoy. Made and hand-printed in the USA, these hot pants are made of soft cotton and designed to be cheeky. Front features ‘MRE’, back left feature the TNT molecule seen in the RE Factor Tactical logo.”
Sadly, we don’t have any that have been modeled yet other than the one from the actual storefront. Perhaps someday soon we’ll see them on Tac Girls, the MagPul Calendar, the Hot Shots Calendar, the Sure Shots or even the Dystopian Slut Militia.
No offense intended for any of them, of course, we’re speaking only about aesthetic appreciation.
They may have existed a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, but it seems the Rebel forces were a bit ahead of the curve with the camouflage they used on Endor.
Thanks to a reader for the tip.
Airsoft GI is making another movie, or so we hear. It’s their second film project, a Left 4 Dead “fan film” that looks anything but fan made. In fact, the trailer looks better than a lot of the craptastic movies out there ostensibly “professionally” made (not that craptastic is a bad thing, mind you; SyFy movies suck but are fun as hell to watch). They made it with Northern Five entertainment and Condor Outdoor. Their first one was pretty good, but the new one is sick. Beast. Whatever. Looks good.
This. Is. Awesome.
From UD Replicas comes the most awesome motorcycle suit ever come from a galaxy far, far away. The Stormtrooper Motorcycle Suit is made from grade-A cowhide and features CE-approved body armor in the shoulders, forearms/elbow, back spine protector, thighs and knee/shin which is easily removable for day-to-day wear. The jacket and pants zip together, converting the suit into a one-piece unit, while raised rib detailing on the sleeves, shoulders, legs, torso and midsection perfectly replicate the look of rigid armor. Above is Shadow Trooper black (it’s an Expanded Universe thing; Google it for more info), although the classic Imperial White is also available for those purists out there. For those interested, you’re better off getting your order in soon: sales close January 31st of next year, and the sets are limited to only 500 suits combined. Now if only someone would make a TIE Fighter-themed bike…
The BOLO Report, a blog catering to “law enforcement, military and high threat security professionals” just ran a piece on your weak hand draw, if you’re injured or impeded in some way. The article was written by one of the BOLO Report contributors who is a LEO and a competitive shooter, originally for the Women’s Tactical Association. If you’re someone who runs real steel, or has a CCW, or is one of our readership in the noble profession of arms, you might want to check it out.
It’s not that we’re unsure about the suitability of a zombie gnome as a gift. It’s a great idea. We’re just not sure if it’s appropriate to give one for Christmas or to wait a couple days and find a different excuse…though frankly we’re putting some up here locally and calling them dead elves (they’ll be under the tree). After New Year’s Eve we’ll put ’em outside where it’s a little safer for us. Anyway, apparently since Garden Gnomes are protectors of life, they are the first to fall victim to the zombiepocalypse pandemic. You can get information about them on the Zombie Gnome Facebook page, here, or e-mail doug@klonefx.com. Whichever way you go looking for one, remember two things: 1. Go for a head shot and remember they’re small, and moving. Speed is fine but accuracy is final. 2. Tell them Tactical Fanboy sent you, would you please?
The manufacturer says, When it comes to how long they will last outdoors, it depends on your climate and weather conditions. They are solid cast gypsum cement, hand painted and sealed with a matte clear UV coating. The bottoms are sealed with rubber to inhibit water absorption from the ground. If you want to reseal it, use clear polyurethane. Any sealant will wear out over time. It’s best to keep them dry and out of direct sunlight.
Say, on the subject of zombies…if you’re one of the head honchos from Zombie Squad and you read this, drop us a line. We need to have a serious chat before everything goes to hell in handbasket and the dead outnumber the living.
Remember reading about Rogue American Apparel? Their women’s line is now out, and not only are their shirts just as cool as the men’s line, the models are way hotter (and have more hair). Rogue American t-shirts are hand 
distressed, so every one is unique, and each design has only 500 printed. RAA supports the Brothers in Arms Foundation with every sale, and frequently runs special designs that are completely devoted to helping fallen or injured Warriors (which is why you should like them on Facebook). To quote their website, “Our tees have the same cut and feel as Ed hardy, we just don’t let douchebags wear them.”
