It features a integrated clip to attach to a belt loop or other article of clothing, with two small teeth to further improve retention. The HK2 is also designed to work more smoothly in a larger variety of handcuffs when compared to the original TIHK.

Regal Robot’s Mandalorian Skull Mini Sculpture is a polyurethane resin scupture modeled after Boba Fett’s iconic Mythosaur skull emblem. It is hand painted in a realistic bone look, and comes complete with a full color box.
In practical terms, it could be used as the coolest paperweight anyone could own, or it would look equally good on a shelf.
Currently in production, with a projected ship date of June 2017.

In the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe trailer, Hela destroys Moljnir, devastates Asgard, and displaces Thor to Sakaar, where he gets a haircut and has to battle Gladiator Hulk™ in a storyline that’s a bit more than loosely based on the Planet Hulk comic run.
Plus Led Zeppelin.
Thor: Ragnarok is slated to launch November 3rd, 2017.
I just want to say that Mark Hamill does a really good Harrison Ford impression.
Technically, at a capacity of 25 oz, Stansport’s 12 Gauge Shotshell Thermal Bottle is quite a bit larger than an actual 12 Gauge shotshell, but I’m just being nitpicky. Made of BPA-free 18-8 stainless steel, insulated with double wall construction, this thermal bottle keeps hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold for up to 24 hours. Also available in green, because that’s a color shotshells come in.

Oh, yeah, it’s coming.
Quad Mag Prototype, 60-Round Capacity 2009
Shortly after the introduction of the original PMAG, Magpul began working on increased capacity solutions. The “Quad” or “Coffin” mag concept never delivered the reliability in rough handling and adverse conditions that they require from their magazine products, and so the design never made it into production. Lessons learned during this program eventually fed into the D-60 program.
So the title is a bit misleading, because this isn’t really a minigun, so much as a multi-barrel ballistic launcher (I’m all about the semantics). Still, it’s cool, and who doesn’t appreciate taking common household items and making neat stuff like this?

With the wrong clothes, a day at the range can be a real pain in the butt (pun intended). And if you’ve ever worn jeans while practicing, you know that mobility and flexibility goes out the door. Fear not! 5.11 has created the perfect piece of apparel to take your training to the next level—the Tactical Duty Kilt. Back by popular demand, 5.11 has reintroduced its rugged, manly, limited edition Tactical Duty Kilt.
Designed to meet the demanding needs of fitness, shooting, and outdoor enthusiasts across the nation, 5.11 also released a new video to reveal to you the ins and outs of the popular kilt.
Featuring CrossFit Athlete, Josh Bridges, this funny (really, it’s funny) video shows Josh (along with a few other manly men) put the 5.11 kilt to the test. And no, this is not an April Fools’ joke. The once fictitious Kilt (oddly enough, it started as an April Fools’ joke in 2012) is again available for purchase in the U.S. while supplies last.
A portion of the proceeds of every
kilt sold will benefit the FBINAA.

Adult Swim’s April Fool’s event usually involve playing Tommy Wiseau’s ‘The Room’, or as is the case a few years back revitalizing Toonami, but this year they started off the block with a preview of Season Three of the highly-popular sci-fi comedy series ‘Rick and Morty’.
As was made clear from a bump aired after the episode ended, the season officially starts this Summer, but this first episode is a welcome preview.
If you missed it, the episode will be on repeat on Cartoon Network until midnight Eastern, and it’s also playing on repeat on the official Adult Swim April Fool’s stream, which can be watched at the link below:
I’m still a sucker for the original series; their pronounced campy-ness is part of their charm. Regardless, this new Planet of the Apes series has been pretty good so far.
So, it kinda feels like they’re changing the tone a bit with the sequel to Destiny. Sure, there was the occasional twinge of humor, and dancing emotes, but the Deadpool-wannabe seems like a new direction.
YouTuber Giaco Whatever built a custom pneumatic cannon, and launched a NERF dart from it which achieved a speed of roughly MACH 2.3, or 2.3 times the speed of sound. While NERF darts are designed to, at best, sting a little, even a foam-body projectile will do quite a bit of damage going that speed.
Anyone want to try an guess the foot-poundage coming out of the muzzle on this one?

By this point it’s not the most breaking news, but for those who aren’t aware, the latest game in the long-running Call of Duty franchise is going back to its roots and taking place during World War II. Called ‘Call of Duty WWII’, the new game is being developed by Sledgehammer Games. There hasn’t been a mainline game in the CoD series that takes place during this period since 2008’s ‘CoD: World at War’, developed by Treyarch. Based on the posters and various steel book game cases that were leaked, it looks like the game will take place at least partially on the Western front, with the D-Day invasion being prominently displayed in the promotional materials.
Since the latest Call of Duty titles have been drifting farther and farther into the realm of science fiction and alternate history, it doesn’t come as much of a shock that Activision and Sledgehammer are attempting a reset of the franchise, an appeal to those clamoring for a more ‘classic CoD experience’. With a game set in World War II, we’re pretty much guaranteed a lack of double jumping, infinite sprinting, wallrunning, direct energy weapons, and other now common CoD elements that, interestingly (perhaps ironically) enough, actually started with Sledgehammer’s first lone-developed CoD title, ‘CoD: Advanced Warfare’.
It’s worth mentioning that this may be the start of a trend of AAA developers revisiting historical wars in first person shooter games: EA and DICE took a bit of a risk and just last year introduced ‘Battlefield One’, a mainline Battlefield title that takes place during World War I, which has paid heavily in their favor both critically and commercially. Granted, there were some provisions and near-anachronisms made within ‘Battlefield One’ for the sake of enjoyable gameplay, but it was still a huge departure from the most recent numbered Battlefield titles, which take place in a world-spanning conflict in a modern setting. I can’t say in confidence that ‘CoD WWII’ is a reactionary attempt to capture some of Battlefield One’s success, since each game in the CoD series is released by one of three developers and is developed over a period of three years, but the franchises will once again be compared for their major departure in setting.
In any event, ‘another year, another CoD’ rings true yet again, even if we’re trading the space suits and laser rifles for olive drab combat uniforms and M1 Garands. We should still expect finicky gameplay balance, kill streaks, and map packs and microtransations aplenty.
Look forward to the inevitable official announcement for ‘CoD WWII’ when E3 rolls around this coming June.
KeyBar, a Georgia-based CNC company, has launched their first ever Kickstarter campaign for the ‘Quick-Draw’, a revolving pen holder. Made of aluminum, the Quick-Draw is shaped like a revolver cylinder with 8 chambers, and is designed to revolve on top of its base. It’s already made its funding goals, but if this project interests you be sure to pledge to guarantee yourself a ‘Quick-Draw’ when they come out.

DC’s shared film universe, known officially as the ‘DC Extended Universe’, has been, frankly, a poorly-managed hodgepodge hurriedly crafted together in a desperate response to Marvel’s expertly handled (by comparison) ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’. As a result, what could/should have been good films were instead narratively unsound, critical disappointments, succeeding entirely on the properties they represent rather than than their own merits.
Ok, now that I have the pretentious critic angle covered, here’s my 2 cents on the newest ‘Justice League’ trailer.
Yeah, I’m pretty pumped to see a ‘Justice League’ movie is actually getting made. Yeah, it looks like they’re doing it right i.e. more ‘comic-booky’, even if it’s a bit jarring to go from BvS to this. However, trailers are meant to tantalize, and I’ve been burned before: pre-release material made BvS look really great, and even made Suicide Squad seem like it would be watchable. Then there’s Wonder Woman, which again, looks pretty neat, but it could always go south.
I’ll reserve further critique until ‘Justice League’ actually comes out in November, but, well, the track record of DC films speaks for itself. Enjoy the trailer, but be wary that’s this is a trailer, and all of the cool fight scenes and snappy dialogue compressed into a few minutes of footage are not representative of the final product.
Matador’s Beast28 Packable Technical Backpack is, as its name implies, a 28-liter backpack which is also packable/stowable.

The Beast28 is made of PU-coated ripstop nylon, and comes complete with a large main compartment, breathable straps, lumbar padding, and is hydration pack-compatible.

Vollebak’s Blood, Salt & Dirt camo range is “clothing that’s pre-camouflaged for abuse.” Made of a high-stretch 22% elastane / 78% polyamide blend, the three shirts in the range are lightweight, breathable, and highly moisture wicking, and are designed to camouflage blood stains, sweat and salt, and dirt, respectively.
It seems as if the intent behind these clothes is to mask dirt, grime, and wear during strenuous physical and activity, but it comes across as the shirt equivalent of a battleworn/distressed finish on a new or barely-used firearm.
