Does anyone remember the thread about the mall ninja who wanted to use his kevlar-clad body as a shield to protect his partner?

WTF




The all-metal ones that are no longer made were quite nice.  I had one on my 249 (which I went on patrol with every day.. sometimes 3x a day).  My 249 came with the new style bipod which was crap.  I forget if the good ones were the square leg or the round legs, it has been a while; mine had the crappy one where one leg was always snagging on something and poking out.  Getting rid of the stock bipod was a huge improvement.  I tried the normal grip pod, but it was not tough enough for a SAW and I broke 2 (one in the first day).  



I can however see how a grip pod (metal or not) would be a tad awkward on a light weight carbine like the M4.  For a light machine gun, they (the metal ones) are perfect.   I had zero issues firing thousands of rounds with it in bipod mode and it made shoulder firing and carrying very comfortable.


That is interesting.

 



I'd still consider it pretty useless on an AR.

Dump pouches. Why would you want to carry a spider's den with you everywhere?

Also, that rotating rail nonsense I've been seeing a lot of lately.

The footbag/football/etc. isn't really a bad idea.  Despite the silly appendation of "tactical" to it, it gives you a lightweight object to carry that beats throwing around some other piece of gear to keep your body loose and get your mind off things when you stop for a break.


Still, on the note of Tactical Balls...

A brick that was painted black to make it a "tactical brick". It wasn't useless, though. We used to tape flashbangs and gas canisters to them to make sure they would make it through windows, etc.

THE WORLD’S MOST TACTICAL BEER: TACTICAL NUCLEAR PENGUIN
Tactical Nuclear Penguin was the strongest beer in the world for a short period of time last year.

While it no longer holds that world record, it is by far the most tactical beverage around. And with an alcohol by volume of 32%, it still packs a pretty potent punch.

The brew comes wrapped in a brown paper bag with a cute lil’ penguin doodled on the side. The bottles and beer have a black licorice color emphasizing its powerful nature. It even contains a warning label that reads: “This is an extremely strong beer, it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. In exactly the same manner that you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost.”

Tactical Nuclear Penguin is extremely potent, and it is also extremely pricey. It costs $68 for an 11.2 ounce bottle including shipping and exchange rates. Obviously this is a drink that’s meant to be cherished — not sloshed into a beer bong.

The most serious one I saw was a prototype - a ratcheting free float railed handguard. The inventor described its use - when you're pinned down shooting sideways next to a curb, and your tactical light is on the wrong side, ratchet the handguard around until it is in the right spot. I don't think it got anywhere.

Nothing is more tactical than a "silent magazine release" especially  after dumping 14 rounds of .45 auto, so I will have to nominate the plastic magazine catches that were used by Para Ordnance on their P-series pistols.
