Hundreds of years ago the Indians realized that hunting need not be a sport requiring exertion or discomfort (at least not for the hunters).
The concept Jeep Wrangler on display at the SEMA Show 2010 (Automotive aftermarket parts expo) would make any maharaj jealous. I especially like the mini-fridge situated between the hunting seats.

Slightly offtopic: I came across this hilariously staged tiger and leopard hunting video that was filmed in 1930. The leopard head poking out of the trees at 2:33 gave me a good laugh.

I saw this on Caleb's blog and it gave me such a good laugh. Chris Costa should get his own comedy show 
I am really looking forward to watching Art of the Dynamic Shotgun. It looks like they did a fantastic job. Has anyone seen it yet?

I have been informed that the French DGA (Direction Générale de l'Armement, Armament Procurement Agency) will be adopting the FN MAG to replace the AANF1 machine guns in service.The purchase of 10-11,000 is expected to be confirmed soon.

After losing a couple of contracts, this will be very good news for FNH.

Charter Arms's Off Duty .38 Special and Undercover Lite .38 are now available in a high polish steel finish with black frames. I think this two-tone color scheme is very attractive.
MagCount attaches to the bottom of a magazine and displays the current round count on an electronic display. It looks pretty cool and futuristic, but I don't think there is a need for this.
