MaxPedition – BOTTLE PALS

Friday, February 7th, 2014

BOTTLE PALS

MaxPedition BOTTLE PALS are designed to mount to most 1″ webbing, supplying pouches, backpack straps, and 1″ waist belts with a fully functional bottle opener. The BOTTLE PALS is made from heat treated stainless steel, with a matte black oxide coating. Each pack comes with two: one to keep, and one to give away.

It’s called a BOTTLE PALS, it fits on PALS webbing, and you can give one away to one of your PALS…

Fixes:

– Flashbang target no longer resets to default when setting a gocode
– Fixed a bug where a dead trooper would not be replaced

The Gun Box

Tuesday, February 4th, 2014

Gunbox

The Gun Box is a soon-to-be-released firearm storage case. It is powered by an AC plug in with a back-up battery. The reason for the power supply is the method of opening the case: the base model utilizes RFID technology, and requires the use of an included RF band to open. A biometric variant will also be offered, with an onboard 360 biometric fingerprint scanner which can hold multiple fingerprints, in addition to the RFID system. The Premier model includes GPS tracking and 24/7 monitoring, tracking, and alert notifications, with a required monthly subscription fee, the first year of which is covered by initial purchase.

Gunbox 2

The Gun Box features an aircraft strength aluminum alloy shell and inside dimensions of 8.9″x6.5″x1.5″, and a weight of 4.7 lbs.

Additional features on all models include:

  • 2 USB ports for charding devices or connecting accessories
  • Battery backup w/ shut off switch
  • Mounting holes for mounting in any orientation
  • Kensington lock port
  • Estimated delivery on all Gun Box models is February 21st, 2014.

    Project creator Benjamin Summerfield is looking for funding to create this EOD Bomb Suit Figure. The figure will come unpainted with snap assembly, moving joints, interchangeable hands, and a mortar accessory.

    TacticalWalls – Tactical Shelves

    Tactical Shelves

    TacticalWalls’ 1242 RLS and 825 PLS are shelves that double as storage solutions for rifles and handguns, respectively. Both models function as shelves with a fold down, customizable medium density polyurethane foam lined cavity for storing firearms, which is accessed by disengaging two hidden locks with the supplied magnetic keys. The compartment lowers with the assistance of pneumatic struts, and can be outfitted with optional LED lights for better visibility.

    Both shelves are designed to work with standard 2″x4″ walls, and require no interior modification to install. Each shelf is supplied with a set of shelf brackets that are installed on top of the shelf for added support, and also function as bookends.

    Both models are currently available for pre-order and will start shipping later this month.

    PACT – Timers In Hollywood

    Saturday, February 1st, 2014

    Hollywood rarely gets gun technique right, but once in a while they do. I suppose if this video teaches us anything it’s that Michael Mann is on the up and up.
