Well, sort of . .
The Better Half took this photo while we were driving in Lennox, CA, yesterday.
Clickable image - check out the mirrors, rabbit ears, bike horns, spare wheels and Li’l Ray’s chrome name placard. Total weirdness brought to you by the Kalifornistan Kookery.
You can get a chocolate gun at Chocolate Weapons dot com. You can even get it gift wrapped in camouflage.
But wait! There’s More! Chocolate ammunition, chocolate hand grenades and more. Pretty cool website.
From reading their website information, this was initially a joke until they test marketed some colleagues who were also shooters. The idea caught on.
Clickable image.
They have a funny tag-line “The Ultimate Near Death (by Chocolate) Experience.”
How does a mouse grenade grab you?
I was looking for a miniature gun and this image of a gun-shaped computer mouse came up in the search results. I thought it was kind of funny.
I found what I was looking for, though, in a site called mouseguns.com. There, you can find a link to a catalog of diminutive weapons. The guns are listed with details as to their attributes:
According to the website, “Lethality” is derived from capacity and power:
Lethality = log (capacity) * power
I had not seen a lethality index before, but I found it very intriguing. A table on the page lists ammunition power from 1 for .22 short to 14 for 12 gauge. I attempted to work up lethality for a couple of our favorite guns, but ran into problems when I tried the above equation and got different results. I could get into the same order of magnitude by substituting natural log (initially assumed log base 10) but the results are still off.
Example: The listing for a Glock 26 lethality is 32.26; when using natural log, I calculate 21.58. The capacity is 11 rounds (10+1) and the power listed in the table for 9mm is 9.
Ln(11) = 2.397 * 9 = 21.58
The error between my calculation and that listed is off by about 30 percent. I may try and email the author of the table to see where I’m going wrong (or where he did). I’ll post any findings if and when I get feedback.
I saw an abstract of a study that listed body armor threat level for various firearms, but was not interested in paying to see it. Has anyone else seen a firearms lethality index?
At any rate, I would be inclined to change “Lethality Index” to “Self Defense Potential Index” when it comes to scoring firearms with regard to caliber and capacity. I would also score the projectile type (HP vs. ball, shot vs. slug).
This image Googled its way to the top when I was looking for something entirely different . . .
If I were these guys, I’d be wearing ear and eye protection. If I were the guy in front, I’d need gloves to prevent blistering from holding the hot barrel.
I just ran across this today, again looking for something else. I was looking for some 20 gauge slug shells (the range won’t let us use bird shot) that I could buy on-line.
Keep a tin of these Bite the Bullet Mints in your holster and you’ll have the freshest breath in the West! Each 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ x 3/4″ (3.8 cm x 3.8 cm x 1.9 cm) tin contains about forty-five bullet-shaped mints. Thirty-six shrink wrapped tins in each illustrated display box.
I think they resemble Preparation H hemorrhoid suppositories, myself . . .
Found on the net while searching for something entirely unrelated. Looks like fun, so I posted it.
