#Toy

SIG Sauer Inc. just added a new product to their ever-growing catalog. It’s extremely cool, well refined, affordable, and, so far, in stock! However, it’s not a real firearm, but a 1:3 scale die-cast replica of the MCX Rattler, manufactured by GoatGuns.

In a baffling bit of twitter news, I came across this curious post in which a Tasmanian resident received a letter that his Gel Blaster was considered a firearm and would have to be confiscated because the owner did not possess a firearms license. The owner of the Gel Blasters was told that the toy would have to be surrendered to the Tasmania Police.

I am sure you’ve heard about the briefcases that are designed to house a firearm not only providing a concealment for the gun but also either linking the trigger to the briefcase handle or having a quick release mechanism. Perhaps the most known guns that have such briefcases designed for are the MP5K or  AKS-74U. But did you know that there is a new member in this family? Meet Thomas the SMG!

Fidget spinners are becoming more and more popular. Looks like now it is impossible to visit your social media pages and not see a post or two about them. While having a hard time to properly describe these things, I went searching some sort of definition of the fidget spinner and I found that Wikipedia defines it as “a type of stress-relieving toy”. Anyway, considering the enormously growing popularity of this toy, it was a matter of time until it found its way into the firearms community.

Have you ever contemplated dumping the lead from a shot shell, filling it with salt, and pointing it an unwanted coackroach? I have. If done inside this of course violates Cooper’s Gun Safety rules and possibly the spouse’s house rules regarding gun play. Luckily for us the Bug A Salt was invented. This non-lethal spring powered “shotgun” shoots salt with just enough power to eradicate bugs. It is compatible with all salt shot sizes ranging from #14 table salt to #5 kosher salt.

Boys will always be boys. Before guns they made pretend swords out of sticks. Before swords they made clubs. The invention of the gun presented unique challenges to boys the world over. My attempts at building a gun involved a lot of elastic and usually ended up being inefficient crossbows. Kids today have it easy. They just walk into a store (or Amazon.com) and buy a nerf gun.

The Swordfish Bullet Clip Lighter is a refillable butane torch-style lighter that resembles a Garand En-Bloc clip. At $8.50 on Amazon it would make a great stocking filler for any gun nut.

Being sold by Swords, Knifes and Daggers for $15.

The Gun O’ Clock is an alarm clock that has to be shot in the bullseye with a toy laser gun to be turned off.

This is very cool. Fits in a pocket. Max range is 16 feet, more than enough for self defense.
