Sure, it’s morning on the first day of SHOT Show 2018 and I’ve barely seen anything yet. No matter. The Rapid Deployment Bayonet from Paper City Firearms is the most ridiculous thing here. Probably. I’ve got $5 on it. T&E sample requested.

Because the word “bullpup” is just another excuse to charge an additional $500 to a $1000 more for an otherwise mundane firearm, that’s why.
Well, I was stoked until $2495…
I read the linked article three times and I can’t find where it says what the headline here claims it says.
Disappointing — I thought I was going to get a good source to toss in the general direction of some of the antis I know.
The memes about this will be enjoyable.
I’m a lefty. This is a stupid idea. The direction it ejects only matters on a bullpup. Ambi safeties are the only thing that matter.
Craig Boddington’s new book dispels the myth that carrying a handgun in big bear country is effective in stopping a bear. In his research of hundred’s of bear attacks the people who used handguns usually did not survive the attack. Believe it or not those that used pepper spray or just played dead survived more than those that pulled out hand guns and blazed away.
Although I seldom agreed with Jeff Cooper he was right when he said that if you use a handgun as an offensive weapon its tantamount to committing suicide no matter what the caliber.
Pistolero Magazine in the 1980’s when shooting barnyard hogs found that there was no difference in killing power between the .357 magnum, .45 acp, 38 special and 9×19.
Contrary to Gun Writer Myth and continuing bullshit about the Philippine “Insurrection” (polite world for jack booted storm trooper war of rape, pillage and conquest) Jan Liborel found that there was absolutely nothing in the U.S. Military records that indicated the .38 Colts were any less effective than the later used 45 long Colt and little used .45 acp handguns used in the conflict. The Army even ranted against the 30-40 Krag as being ineffective. What did work was the short barrel shotgun.
That is approaching Mr. Garrison’s IT for practicality and style.
It is possible that I have now seen everything.
That’s great! Good on Weatherby! And f##k Commiefornia. May have to buy a Weatherby now…
What I REALLY want is a straight-pull bolt action carbine in 9mm.
Cz 455 thick barrel $373
KRG 180-Xray $599
This price on the RPR .22 passes the wallet smell test.
take a 6.5 lb. Rifle, keep adding crap , now I’ve got a 26 lb piece of crap.
Very nice rifle! Goes right to the top of my “Buy after winning lottery” list. And very thorough and informative review.
Because I won’t support businesses who have a hand in occupying Palestine and oppressing their people.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it has a depleted uranium tip.
Looks like a 105mm sabot.
What rail is that?
Look up the numbers, the elephants are going the way of the Buffalo, and they will be gone in a few short years. Roymond left the only knowledgeable comments concerning elephants. People (mostly from asia) are very heavily invested in Ivory with every hope and expectation that the animal will soon be extinct. There is a total war on elephants, with RPGs and machine guns, and there is no country where elephants are not being heavily poached, and certainly nowhere to hunt a normal wild herd of elephants. Only the shittiest countries will give you a permit, and this is basically state sanctioned poaching of a truly endangered animal. There is a lot to this story. With all the older elephants dead, the younger ones don’t know the watering holes, or where to find food, so there is a lot of crop damage, so the locals could care less. The only hope for this species is for rich white people to fund war on poaching. Which they are doing; It’s a losing war, but more interesting than hunting elephants. Seriously, siding with elephant hunters is a douche move.
I see this being use in “Blade 4 – The Ventilation””
They copied my idea…except mine would fire the bayonet laced with poison frog blood.
This abomination is probably more useful than the new Franklin Armory Revolution straight grove nerf football shooting waste of money it shure is a letdown.
Too bad the Wyoming government gave so much taxpayer money to this company. Would be much better if they’d done the move on their own, but this is the sad reality of current government… no matter where you are.
Anyway, welcome to Wyoming.
This deal is peanuts, versus the” big money” on the Table to get Amazon’s new HQ & 50,000 jobs.
Nobody here wants Amazon. The amount of the taxpayer subsidy is not the question. It’s theft, pure and simple.
I hope this spring TTGA does a sister site, The Truth About Fishing, that’d be a hoot, arguing about fishing lines, and rods and reels. Lying about the fish we caught. Catfish are better then trout, bass don’t fight as hard as carp.That would be fun
Actually, this “article” is silly nonsense. I take Greg’s videos for what they are …. FUN, and sometimes quite informative. If you can’t see the larger good picture of Hikcock45’s messages, and you don’t like having shooting fun, or you have nothing to learn about anything concerning firearms, you do have the official power and license to not get yer dander up by watching. Blog posts like this just feed the liberal left fires. Please stop it.
ok. Hey can somebody let me know how to download that GIF of the product in action? I gotta a idea for tellin MRS.ATFAgentBob exactly what’s gonna go down after the kids are tucked in to bed tonight….
*belle
If it’s a newly-made (since 1986) M14, they can’t sell it.
“It doesn’t matter at all WEATHER you are right or left-handed……”??? Uh, note to HK’s public-relations department: English much?
IMI jhp doesn’t feed at all in one of my 9mm…I guess I’ll use it in the other 9 someday.
Just what I always wanted! An Uncircumcised Bayonet with a D.P.D., “Dog Pecker Deployment” system. And here I thought the Auto Glove was the most ridiculous. The only use I can see for this would be impaling my dignity.
I like it. An MP5 paddle mag release on it would have been nifty though.
We’re $20 Trillion + in debt… We don’t need to spend more money on anything, especially replacing a 98% solution with a 99% solution.
When I got to Vietnam in 1968, we Marines had just swapped out our M-14s for M16A1s – Vietnam was a jungle war and that we did not need the long-range 7.62mm cartridge was obvious. Our enemies were armed with 7.62x39mm weapons for the most part, so it was a short-range war with short sight-lines. The pros/cons of the 5.56mm cartridge (short range, lack of penetration, could carry LOTS of ammo) were noted, but we had 7.62mm machine guns to punch through the growth and for longer ranges. After the war ended and the Marine Corps’ training shifted to Europe, I thought that the M-14 might be brought back, since a European war would obviously require a longer range cartridge. But I guess DOD had so much tied up in the 5.56mm ammunition and weapons, that it couldn’t see switching yet again, so we have had the cartridge and its weapons variants for 50 years, even though Iraq and Afghanistan were 500 yard wars. Somebody mentioned the NATO influence on DOD’s caliber choices – I believe that is true. These days, I doubt DOD will want to invest the money and time to switch back to the 7.62mm round (or some other wonder cartridge) unless NATO or our other allies go along with the program. I personally would like to see a 7.62mm (or equivalent) infantry rifle brought back into the inventory for the long-range wars (and keep the 5.56mm around in case we get into another jungle war).
The .44 AutoMag cost a boatload to produce. It was a heavy gun, over-built like crazy. You can shoot some hellaciously hot loads through the .44 AutoMag.
At under $4K/gun, I doubt they’re making much money per pistol. The original company was losing money on every pistol they made/shipped when they were selling them for a price of about $1500 (in today’s dollars) each.
Garand designed the M1 for a .276/6.8mm round. Had MacArthur not made one of his many blunders to “upgrade” the Garand to 30-06, solely on the basis of “that’s what we already shoot”, we’d probably have saved many soldiers lives by greater capacity (10 rds in the M1?) and more ammo carried in WWII and Korea. Like Col. Cooper, I’ve never had a love for the “poodle shooter” .556 round. I would like to see a change to a 6.5-6.8 mm for our standard round.
Call me after the obligatory recall.
Another “expert” who thinks there’s a problem and demands change but doesn’t have a solution.
@ScottyCrawford thoughts? (And “Hank,” shame on you for not using your full name!)
It was a few pages back that I vented my refusal to buy a Weatherby firearm after reading several years ago about how they couldn’t leave their employees behind. I understand that point but I promptly sold my vanguard and swore I would never buy another Weatherby while they were being made in California. It’s a shame too, outstanding rifle. I’m tickled pink I can purchase another as of 2019.
Sorry but, those safety markings are just plain stupid and meaningless. Fortunately, for safety’s sake, who needs to look at the markings. And, like most billet lowers, way overpriced.
I stay away from novelty items like this and commemorative issues like you see in the NRA magazines every month. They never hold value. This won’t have the same amusement or appeal 20 years from now and if you’re actually foolish enough to waste the parts to complete the build, one day you’ll look at it and say “WTF was I thinking?” (or, WTF was I drinking).
Dont know about this but POFs and PWSs in this cal work just fine. You just have to use the correct mags. That is what caused feeding issues with this cal, not feed ramp geometry. ASC and CPD magazines not the 30s the 28rd mags. 300yd hits, zero issue when correctly zeroed and exact same size rifle as a 223/556. I absolutely love mine and haven shot my 223/556 in a very long time.
Your link to the 4th Amendment actually takes you to “The Confrontation Clause” of the Sixth Amendment.
I don’t think that’s what you want there (unless I misunderstand what your trying for)…
Nice article!
