If you’ve ever felt you need to be prepared for a situation like this, then you need the Quick Draw Gun Magnet. Attach this to any surface that can hold at least 10 lbs. of weight, including most walls or the underside of a desk, and you can have instant, holster free access to any number of firearms, including guns of stainless steel construction. I may just get one so I can keep an AR-15 on the side of my fridge. Late night snacking is one of the most vulnerable periods for any homeowner, after all.
The KSG (Kel-Tec Shotgun) pulled a lot of buzz during SHOT Show, due to its 14+1 shotshell capacity and [semi] unique bullpup design. It also happens to be on my personal list of must have firearms for this year. This video shows some updates done to the design since SHOT, some good, some bad. For example, fixing the trigger reset was a big win. Cutouts on the magazine tubes as an ammo indicator; good in theory, but a potentially harmful entryway for dust and debris. Still, the KSG won’t be released until later this year, so it’s entirely possible that the design can be further refined by then. Even so, I still hate waiting for the newest futuristic-looking scattergun to finally be in my hands. Where’s Doc Brown and the DeLorean when you need ’em?

With SIGG’s FSSG drop-in selector switch. It replaces the rear slide plate on any model Glock and allows the user to switch between full and semi-auto, up to 1200 RPM. Although the legality of making your pistol full-auto varies by location, the price one of these switches is going for on this auction is almost too good a deal to pass up. Of course it always helps to see it in action before you buy:
And when I said any model Glock, I meant it: that’s a Glock 35, which fires .40 caliber. Wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that.
Billed as “The revolver of choice. Literally.”, the Smith and Wesson Governor is a six-chamber revolver that can chamber rounds in 3 different calibers. Specifically .410 shotshell, .45 Colt, and .45 ACP. The overall length is 8.5 inches with a 2.5 inch barrel and the total weight is 29.6 ounces. In addition, it feature a synthetic grip and a dovetailed Tritium forward night sight. The model shown above also includes the optional Crimson Trace laser grip, for improved target acquisition. Revolvers are reliable sidearms, and it’s a real treat to see one with such diverse chambering options. Still, it makes you wonder if shotshell capable revolvers are simply a fad, or are they here to stay?
As seen on Fail Blog, in their Win category. An old-school bolt-action rifle carved around the actual bolt lock of a bathroom door. Someone claims it’s a Mosin-Nagant carbine. I agree, specifically the Mosin-Nagant Model 1944 carbine:
Sure, it’s not a perfect copy, but it’s pretty damn close. But I’m always open to being proven wrong, so if you have a better idea of what that rifle could possibly be a carving of, there’s a comment section waiting for you.
Available only to law enforcement and government, the Glock models 18 and 18c are 9mm pistols, almost entirely indistinguishable from the Glock model 17, except for their ability to go fully automatic. It seems this isn’t enough, for the ‘Doubleglock’ was born. A custom kit that combines two Glock 18s, probably both 18cs, with a center red dot for accuracy. Although I find personally find little use for any full auto pistols, let alone two strapped together, I must say this is pretty clever. It should also win all your battles from looks alone. No one wants to be staring at the business end of this bullet hose.
It’s a very large revolver that holds five 28 gauge shotgun shells. And when I say “very large”, think Hellboy’s Good Samaritan for a fairly decent comparison. The gun was seen as recently as SHOT Show 2011, and it’s been cleared by BATFE, so expect it out at some point in the future. From the look alone, I’d say it just might just make someone crap their pants, provided such a situation were to arise. 🙂
Tired of getting out-driven on the golf course? More accurate with your rifle than with your 9-iron? Then you need one of these! Simply replace your muzzle break or flash hider with this golf ball launcher, and you’ll be making 250 yard drives easy. The best part is it only requires .223 blanks, and no gunsmithing is required! In fact, it would also make a decent non-lethal anti-hippy device, except that non-lethal and hippy are two words that should never be in the same sentence.
When shooting a firearm, it’s sometimes difficult to remember exactly how many rounds are left in your magazine. And while bullet counters aren’t a new concept, what has been produced is mostly limited to military use. However, Michael Ciuffo has created a simple to use and more importantly accurate bullet counter. As you can see from the video, it attaches to the standard Picatinny rail system. It works by picking up the recoil of each shot, and can be adjusted for sensitivity, from a few to 50 Gs of force. Although the counter is pre-set at 30 rounds, it can be adjusted for more or less, dependent on the size of your magazine. The display also flashes when you’ve run dry, and one of the more useful features is if you perform a reload and a round is still in the chamber, pressing the reset button will add +1 to your original count. Finally, the power source is simple: it runs on 2 AA batteries.
This is a very cool product, and it’s definitely on my list of ‘must-haves’. Luckily, because of the large demand for the counters Michael Ciuffo is entering production with them. To receive the newsletter which will detail their eventual release, message him on Youtube with your e-mail address in the body. Also, it’s worth note that these counters are not intended for use in combat situations, but from what I understand the device is sturdy enough that it could handle such conditions.
Brink is an upcoming FPS by developer Splash Damage, that combines elements of parkour, in-depth weapon customization, and class-based gameplay. Due to the multitude of AAA titles that are being released along side it, Brink hasn’t received a large amount of publicity, but I’m already beginning to see what has the potential to be one of the greatest games of the year. It’s release date is May 17.
