Nick Leghorn’s Pick of the SHOT Show: NY-Legal 50-Round Magazine

To be honest, I wasnt really impressed with the 50 round magazine from FAB Defense. And I still don’t think it was the awesomest thing at the show — that goes to the Gilboa double barreled AR-15. But the reason I picked this one was because it had the biggest response. Even Gizmodo, the dependably gun-hating cesspool of internet “journalism,” picked up the story and tagged it as “scary.” That one post was read by over 32,000 people, and helped push up our “likes” on Facebook by a few thousand. In fact, it was the most-read story of the week. You can’t argue with statistics — this thing is the tops!

  1. From a NY law enformcement perspective, this should not be advised to be NY legal. On it’s face it meets all of the requirements of being a large capacity ammunition feeding device. This headline should be removed or altered absent some type of formal opinion for the NYS Police or Attorney General.

  2. Weinstein’s problem is he can’t hide from his hypocrisy. He would have more credibility if he gave up all his $$ and focused on this as his cause. But he won’t so he can STFU and die.

  3. Just a note. It was “Die Hard II ” that exploited the fictional ” porcelain Glocks”. No Glocks In “Die Hard”. McClain had a Beretta 92F and Hans had a H&K P13.
    The other difference, the first “Die Hard was a great action movie, “II” was a waste of celluloid.

  4. To be filed under “Credit where it’s due”: when the hoplophobe at the linked article states, “I can’t understand how can this be legal in NY or anywhere else”, it’s an honest admission of his limitations.

  5. The NRA is a member based organization and has a membership count of some 5 mil. I guess Whinestein finds that number of American citizens willing to pay to join and support the organization ‘inconsequential’ and worthy of his scorn.

    I’m certain he’ll at least draw a fair representation of Democrats and other liberal progressive socialists who will adore Meryl Streep as a ‘victim’ of NRA lobbying, something *never* seen from the gun grabbing left.

  6. You know what makes a great intro soundtrack for a gun video? Gunfire!

    I want to see something about guns but instead I get a washed-up-hair-band guitar riff intro that makes me feel less badass and more Top Gun volleyball scene. Well, I’m off to dig up my short shorts and mirrored aviators.

  7. Gotta love the caption for that photo.

    “Here a specially adapted .44 Magnum ( with shortened muzzle for extra flame) is fired in the studio.”

    Is that what snubbies are for? “Extra flame”? Who knew….

  8. As far as I can tell there are only two blogs more leftist than Gawker–HuffPo and Mother Jones. The big difference is that Gawker has more hipsters.

  9. How is it that 5.56 steel core ammo is not only available but common. Shouldn’t that be banned since there are AR pistols chambered for it?

  10. Shouldn’t there be a larger lesson here? How about using “common sense” (see what I did there) to avoid escalating a situation. Both parties involved failed to do this. It’s certainly alright to ask someone in a movie theater to stop texting. However, that should’ve been the end of it. You don’t dump popcorn on someone and, obviously, you don’t shoot someone for doing so.

  11. I never really understood what his schtik was supposed to be. Is he serious? Is he kidding? Is he serious while pretending he’s kidding pretending he’s serious? He’s the Victor Victoria of the firearms world.

    Whatever it was, it was what it was until someone got capped. What is it now? I’m even less certain and less concerned than before. In any event, get your life in order, pal.

  12. I thought the Slate series was pretty decent… for Slate. Yeah, the text that goes with the photos are dripping with ignorance and hoplophobia, but on the whole, better than I expected.

    But the actual photographer has some photos that are even better, I think, for showing that gun owners are pretty normal, average Americans. Here are three I particularly liked:

    That last photo of a suburban mom who bought a gun because cops didn’t respond fast enough to a call… that’s what we need more of if we’re going to win the culture war.
