Bleg: Weapon Lights

By | April 23, 2012

My home defense AR doesn’t have a light on it. This seems like a deficiency. I have a Magpul AFG2 (in black, which apparently is no longer sold on Amazon) so I’d like something that I can mount on the right side that has a remote pressure switch. I’m open to non name-brand stuff as… Read More »

Review: 5.11 Covert Khaki vs Covert Khaki 2.0

By | April 18, 2012

A few years ago I bought a couple pair of 5.11 Tactical’s Covert Khakis. I really liked them, to the point where I wore each pair twice a week for almost two years. Just recently I lost a button on one of them, about 5 years after I bought them. Mrs wizardpc kindly repaired that… Read More »

Looks like Erin has managed to get through the carry class along with her mom.  Of course, by get through the class, I mean they came home with the same number of holes they left with and managed not to fall asleep at any point. Along with that, apparently her mom picked up a nice… Read More »

Fricken Laser Beams!

By | April 12, 2012

A bit back, my friends at the Hacker Consortium got themselves a laser engraver/cutter similar to this one. So I did what any rational person would do. I took several magazines to get the GCT Logo engraved on them! [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDts9AWfwwE&w=420&h=315] I did one M&P15-22 mag, a Glock Fun Stick, and a seriously used aluminium… Read More »

Basic Gunshot Wound Kit

By | April 5, 2012

Alternate title: Roll your own IFAK Back in February, oddball and I took a “First Aid for Gun Toters” class put on by our local Zombie Squad chapter. It was, in my uneducated opinion, a pretty good class. My one complaint was that the guy wasn’t selling any of the products he was pimping. 😀… Read More »
