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.

When did Aimless start brewing beer

i remember something similar many years ago duringl the fal building craze. iirc the side force on the handle was causing wear on the uppers. although the one i got to play with did work pretty well and i did prefer it to the straight rear pull.

This, one of the main benefits of having a side charger is not having to remove your face from the stock, losing your sight picture, to charge the weapon. This doesn't solve this what so ever. Dumb as fuck

As others have said about the Grip Pod:

It's ugly as sin, but it works and is virtually indestructible. I used one in both Iraq and Afghanistan and have one mounted on my patrol rifle. Instant, LW bipod is hard to beat.

As for the chainsaw-grip on the Mossberg breacher, it looks fucking stupid but is actually useful. It's biggest downfall is that it adds extra bulk, making it more difficult to sling out of the way or carry in scabbard.

If I recall issued Israeli galili's had bottle openers, and wire snips on the bi pod.

I've seen bottle or can openers on bayonet sheaths, but never on the weapon itself.

Agree, fail. I don't personally need one shooting an AR lefty but having had to carry and shoot lefty with a 1911 due to injury, the ambi is almost a necessity.

Ambi safeties are a good thing. You may not always be shooting on your strong side.

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.

I've shot thousands of rounds with my grip-podded AR. Works just fine. Keeps the bottom of a 30 round magazine off the ground.
