Weapons

ᔥ Foreign Policy

The seppos have too many nukes.

On Wednesday, May 16, just days before the leaders of NATO countries meet in Chicago to discuss the future of the military alliance, retired Gen. James Cartwright, former head of U.S. nuclear forces, dropped his own bomb: a report  arguing that the United States could reduce the number of nuclear weapons it deploys by two-thirds and the number of warheads it keeps in reserve by nearly 90 percent. Calls for lower numbers are not new, certainly not from groups dedicated to nuclear disarmament like the one Cartwright worked with — and not even among former heads of Strategic Command.

New Zealand needs a nuclear deterrent mainly to piss off the Greens.

You can buy the plans and details for these online.

The only thing better than an AR is a double barreled AR:

Israeli firm Silver Shadow are said to be debuting a double barreled AR-15 next month in Paris at the Eurosatory expo.

You know who you are.

The NZ Army emailed my mates at The Firearm Blog…lucky I read their stuff otherwise I might have missed this…a video of their new 40mm H&K Grenade Machine Guns (H&K GMG).

Canadian troops and Kiowa choppers pin down Taliban in a grapehut. A Hellfire missile is called in to finish the job.

My mates at Hamills Manukau have a Remington Shotgun Special. Get in quick for a sharp deal on a Remington Shotgun before opening next weekend.

The Remington 11-87:

Take the time-honored, all-weather dependability of the Model 11-87 action and combine it with the capability to handle high-payload shotshells. Now prepare to rule the flyway. Ultimately versatile for today’s varied waterfowl (or any other) hunting situations. Its patented self-cleaning pressure-compensating gas system, delivers reliable shell cycling with virtually any load. Impressive.

The Remington 870:

If the Model 870™ were introduced today, it would be hailed as a major advance in pump-action shotgun design – the ultimate in strength, durability, silky-smooth bind-free action, and sleek classical lines.

Yet this remarkable shotgun has been around for almost half a century, and has become the best-selling shotgun of any type in history, with over ten million made.

Don’t forget your Gamebird licence while you are at it.

Give them a call:

Check out this guy, he has built a Star Trek Phaser, which can pop balloons…looks like he made the room smoky so we can see the laser.

Heh.. “set phasers to pop”

A reader emailed me this video.

After a lot of shooting it is very important to clean your gun. Firearms are important tools and need to be maintained properly.
