 The Advantage Tactical FNS/FNX Pistols

The Advantage Tactical Sight (ATS) was developed by WrenTech president, Richard Nasef, in response to the inadequate iron sight products he found in the marketplace.

Nasef, a practicing psychotherapist in New Mexico and California, as well as a firearms enthusiast, noticed shooters struggling with sight picture alignment and the resulting frustration at missed targets. Nasef recognized that the human brain quickly acclimates to a vertically aligned pyramid sight picture over the existing traditional sight pictures and the Advantage Tactical Sight was born.

Bullets Made From Gold, Diamonds, Ivory

Jeweler David Roux-Fouillet designed an air gun rig and a range of specially pellets that are fired into rings, earrings or pendant made of platinum or 9ct gold.

BB gun

A man, identified as 42-year-old James Hayes, of Ambridge, PA walked into an area convenience store around 3:45pm earlier this week and drew an authentic looking BB gun and pointed it at the clerk.

The clerk, quickly and smoothly draws a very real gun from underneath the counter as the suspect pointed the BB gun at home.

Strike Industries Japanese Type 89 Style Compensator

Strike Industries posted a photo on their Facebook page of a new compensator/flash hider they will soon be manufacturing. The design is a clone of Japan’s HOWA Type-89 assault rifle comp/hider.

Homemade gun

Every so often I get an email from a conceptual artist who is obsessed with the artistic merit of putting a gun on display.

Rarely do they exhibit beautiful guns, but instead poorly made, badly modified or kitschy blinged out guns.
