“It is an absolute waste of police resources. Most of our officers went out there because it is a serious incident.” So scolded Marc Lovicott, University of Wisconsin campus police spokesman. What had the Madison cops’ mouthpiece in a DEFCON 1 tizzy? Bomb threat? Plague? Almost. From channel3000.com: “Police blame a modern game of tag called ‘Humans Versus Zombies’ for wasting public safety resources this week after two reports of gun calls tied to the competition.” The UW po-po got not one, but two 911 calls, one of which reporting an automatic weapon. This, despite the gamers alerting campus police in advance that they’d be playing. “‘I wouldn’t think that any of the Nerf blasters would confuse anyone for a real weapon, because most of the new ones are bright yellow or blue,’ said Steven Brandt, a UW freshman on the zombie team.” So Madison’s scholars and great minds of tomorrow managed to confuse Day-glo, primary colored sponge-shooters with actual gats. Maybe this should have been one of our ‘This is What Happens to a Disarmed Populace’ pieces.
The Versacarry is a much better design. It does cover the trigger guard, and it doesn’t stay attached to the gun. I’ve heard that Versacarry is coming out with a redesign that will allow one-handed reholstering, the lack of which is its only real drawback. With luck, I’ll have a review later this year.
In WA its a crime to shoot a big foot, its really on the books. How much for a TAG?? Lol
There are so many options for safe, comfortable, and low profile holsters, there is no reason to substitute safety for comfort/concealability.
Yeah, it’s the same here in Milwaukee, I was messing around with friends in the dorms with the Nerf guns he brought from home and a RA came by and saw us and he had all of the Nerf guns confiscated because according to the student handbook, they are classified as a weapon. I don’t remember if we had them in our human vs zombie run.
I find it funny the skepticism everyone has. Don’t get me wrong until I am presented with evidence that big foot is real for all intents and purpose it is not, but it wasn’t to long ago that another supposedly mystical creature was discovered. Does anyone remember the giant squids? How long ago was it that they were considered fiction? Or how about that freaky dog thing that was supposedly the chupacabra?
This is played in /Canada/ with no issues afaik. It’s not the games’ fault, it’s people being stupid.
Who ARE all you people? Where did you come from, all of a sudden? That’s the strangest aspect of this.
I WILL NOT let these people ruin my day. I WILL NOT LET these people ruin my day.
J.R. “Bob” Dobbs! Did the Church of the Subgenius send you here?
A “nighttime” video shot in the daylight; is this a clandestine Home Depot ad?
What a ridiculous article based in rubber band theory, conjecture, and utter speculation. There are no supporting references, except some loose reference to some Queso dude who “just knows what is going on at the factory.”
I was Googling for factual answers. I get to this site and I get the old “it’s supply and demand, trust me” hoo ha from the manufacturing industry.
Proper pronunciation? Example please?
watch the vid…
Integrally suppressed .300BLK upper, flat top with BUIS and an Eotech, Magpul Furniture.
Like Christopher said “ultra light.” But then again, variety is the spice of life. One ultra light m4 clone with irons only, one super reliable mid length 16″, one 20″ varminter chambered in 223 (for accuracy), and one piston 7.5″ pistol for giggles at the range. Why just one?
Easy. AAC Honey Badger. Just add Magpul MBUS v2 irons, Eotech XPS2 and flip-to-the-side 3x magnifier and you’re set.
In the realm of reality, picking up a Barnes Precision AR-15 in .223 Wylde next month. Add optics and possibly a Timney trigger and I’ll be pretty happy with that.
Ah Nerf guns, my first lessons in why full-auto fire is great for about 2 seconds.
A threaded short barrel (about 6 inches) and upper chambered for 300 blackout. Magpul furniture all around, with a flashlight, laser and Masterkey attached to the fore end. I’d have a holographic sight in addition to the synthetic night sights. Add on the extended charging handle and gunsmith-tooled components, and I’d have my ideal rifle. And then I’d go call upon a winged marshmallow to fly me to the sherbet kingdom.
A Colt 6520, with the pencil barrel cut down to 14.5 inches, threaded, and fitted with a KAC Triple Tap muzzle brake/hider, pinned. An old aluminum CAR buttstock, and an Umbrella Corporation Rifle Grip.
All else remaining stock from the factory.
Simple, fairly lightweight, short enough to be handy, long enough to fight with at a distance.
In a perfect world, without the bureaucracy, I would have a select fire trigger group simply going: safe-semi-auto.
Wait, you have to show a government issued ID to exercise a right? When you require an ID to vote they call it “suppression” and declare it discriminatory against minorities and those with low income. We’re not doing that anymore?
I’m in the process of finishing up my ideal build of the moment, just waiting on my lower now. Here’s my parts list:
-Colt 6920 upper
-Knight’s Armament rails and foregrip
-BattleComp 2.0 compensator
-MaTech BUIS rear sights
-Aimpoint PRO
-FailZero Nickel Boron coated M16 BCG
-Rainier Arms Raptor Ambidextrous Charging Handle
-Magpul MIAD and CTR in OD green
-LWRC Deluxe lower parts kit
-KNS precision non-rotating trigger pins (not necessary for semi-auto I know but I think they look cool)
-Lower receiver from York Arms, with custom magwell art and serial number (taking quite a while because of the massive order backlog they have)
After I finish this I will probably start looking at .300 BLK SBR uppers.
There are billions of rounds of ammo available but it’s a felony to import with out an Obama Card
“No Internet ammo purchase prohibition”
Can one actually mail-order ammo in NJ right now?
I heard there is a recall on the ammo. Better send it in and wait 2 years before you get it back.
KAC SR15 built for 6.8 with the mag well conforming to the LWRCI Six8 spec. One of their suppressors sized for 6.8, TA31H-68 ACOG, 100 Mags, 100k Ammo. I’m good.
I know weed has its medicinal purposes but just look at the smoke in that photo; that can’t be healthy for anyone to breathe in such a high concentration. Good thing Hickenlooper passed that mag cap bill to prevent things like this from happening *sarc*.
