Two things today.
First is a product leak from Vortex, The Impact 4000 Weapon mounted laser rangefinder. Why is this cool you ask? Because the closest comparable thing on the market is the Wilcox Raptar and assuming you can even find one for sale you'll be paying $7-10k with absolutely no warranty support because 99.9% of them are sold Mil. clients. The Impact will apparently be around $2k retail. Alleged release is the 28th of this month. It also apparently includes auto rotation of the display (which is good I guess)
Snipershide thread regarding the leak which I believe to be the origin, a Vortex industry account shows up on the third page to act coy about the release schedule.
X and Nitter links to video on the units
Second is an update regarding the further development of 3D Printable North Korean style helical magazines for Kalashnikov pattern firearms. Black Lotus Coalition member Instructive Content has created a 5.45x39 version of his earlier 7.62x39 helical magazine, says that a fully loaded magazine will be able to hold 100-150 rounds

Personally would like this for my 300 win mag, a laser rangefinder that can calculate everything would make my rifle fucking sing, though rn, I'd probably get something way cheaper, handheld.

Eventually that sight the Army asked for the XM7 is going to come out for civilians. It has a built-in rangefinder.
The stand-alone one is neat too

New "Thing that will be fought over in various courts across the country for years just like Bumpstocks and FRT's are and maybe lead to a SCOTUS decision that disembowels the ATF" just dropped
I seriously doubt the Secret Service uses this thing (they actually claim this), however it is actually pretty neat based on it's simplicity, reminds me of "Bump Boards"

Edit: Update on 3D Printed MP-7

Good news kiwi gun bros, I finally found a new S&W 617 for under MSRP. I should have it by Friday.
Went to a gun show this weekend and successfully stopped myself from going bankrupt as they had the Henry's I wanted (.22lr Frontier and .357) along with the surprisingly nice PSA Jakl in 16 inch configuration aka the "Kirkland SCAR"
Also liked the DAGR and saw a few really neat used pieces, including a Beretta single action revolver with an absolutely outstanding bluing job and I got to play with the new ATN thermal scopes.

Their entire showcase screams bullshit so I went looking for a video of someone actually using one of these things. I was only able to find their Youtube channel:
And website: https://usa1shot.com/
They also have a Facebook, but I can't be bothered at the moment to sign up to view it. https://www.facebook.com/APSusa1shot/
Other than the drop test they've only posted two videos about 3 months ago:
A bunch of Military and Fed insignia are slapped on at points in their videos:
They put this disclaimer on almost everything they put out:
The product description on their website:
The most 'verifiable' claim made on their website is that some guy set a world record for longest handgun shot(I cannot find the organization that officiated it):
Unsurprisingly, the recycled article was a sponsored post. I searched for the original article and found this
The article also links to a now defunct website for Avila's city council campaign:
https://victorforsouthlake.com/ Internet Archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20201001000000*/https://victorforsouthlake.com/
TLDR: They're hyping up a legal work around and charging $129 dollars for a piece of plastic you could print yourself. The guy in the TFB TV video is lying as even his own company are careful to not make the claim that specific military and law enforcement agencies are actually using these things. Wouldn't be surprised if we hear that someone gets a C&D by this company for 3d printer files of their super tactical slab of polymer(that's been completely overhauled multiple times judging by the pictures).

Introducing the NevaMiss(tm) Grip from BLASTCO!
Are you tired of being trash with handguns? Revolvers just too hard to learn to shoot?
THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY!!!
With the new Secret Service*-tested, mom approved NevaMiss Grip from BLASTCO, you too can never ever miss!Now with PICATINNY RAIL for EXTRA CUSTOMIZATION!
How does it work?! It's easy! Just grasp the NevaMiss Grip by the Marksmanship Orbs(tm) and say goodbye to embarrassing misses and bad group sizes!
*it was so secret that they didn't know they tested it

Nice dude! Great on ya for getting a new 22 revolver. Fun little peashooter for sure. Personally want the M&P 22 like my brother has, that's a fun full sized plinker, at least for a semi auto 22.
Glad you seemed to have fun and got to try out a bunch of toys man. Better than me. My progress on that Security-380 is in flux. Got car repairs coming up, don't know how much it'll be. BUT I don't think I'll have to dip into my checking for it, so should have a new 380 and my first semi auto pistol SOON TM

Yeah gun shows in DFW are extremely hit or miss although this one was a hit. Put on by Texas Gun Shows, no jewelry or food vendors allowed (except on drink thing I think) 98% guns and knives, plus a thermal scope vendor, a safe guy, and ammo/accessories people.
Also, as far as I could tell all the sellers there were ready to make a deal and weren't the "I knOw WhAT I GaWT" dumbasses that usually shit up other gun shows. No buddy, that rusted Arsenal isn't worth $4k, and quad rail ARs went out of fashion 8 years ago, your big fat Colt isn't a $3k rifle.
Good on them for having class and not using some thot gun bunny like James Reeves at TFBTV or ANY chick is that posts recoil vids of her ass or the Weapon Outfitters guy with his cringe content.

On the topic of laser range finders I just watched an interview with a Delta sniper who said they would have separate tripods just for their range finders. Never heard of that before.

the LLDR is an outgrowth of the SOFLAM equipment and other LTDs and do indeed have their own separate tripod. the SSWT for example has various plates for different equipment including rifles and observation optics, designators, radios, et c.

And on the opposite end of the range spectrum, SIG 6.75" 300 BLK without direct thread suppressor. Looks like an extremely quiet setup with god awful external ballistics.

it's an extremely quiet setup that's perfectly fine inside 100 meters. it's used as an alternate SMG.

I've mentioned before, I chug the .300BLK cool-aid. My goto is a 7.5" .300 BLK upper with a quick thread can. IMHO if you have a .300 BLK, an adjustable gas port is an absolute necessity along with notes on bullet weights and gas port settings. The ballistics subsonic are what they are, there is no free lunch in the laws of physics, you are not getting that "slam factor" the 5.56 gets cooking at around 3000FPS but...... If you have the secret sauce .30 caliber bullets made for soft tissue / subsonic velocity you can lob some very lethal projectiles.
These guys basically turn the subsonic .300 BLK into a very hot .45 JHP, while of course being stupid quiet and having a "standard size" magazine hold 30.
My "discount DMR" project is complete. The heart of it was a PSA 18" stainless .223 Wylde upper that was stupid cheap, I mated it to a basic bitch Aero lower (which suprsingly had a nice tension allen screw with rubber bumper to fit to the upper snugly), 3.5LB drop in trigger assembly, plain magpul stock, $20 Caldwell copy of a Harris flipout bipod and finished with a Barska 6-24X50AO varmint scope. Everything went together about as smooth as any other AR build however, the railed free float had picatany all the way to the front 5 or so rails were too close to the scope. I could slide a dollar bill between them but when shooting prone especially with a bipod I know that thing is going to flex at least 1/8" and knock the scope so I ended up dremeling down the 5 rails at the 12' o clock. The real test is to see how she groups, I'm hoping for SUB MOA, from what I've read this upper is capable with match ammo. I really hate how little room I have to pull the charging handle, I know devil dog makes a side-charger "adapter kit" I might look into installing. If the upper is sub-par I might just start over with a side-charger with an interference fit barrel sleeve, not sure yet.
Total cost was under $800, so far.

One thing I like looking at in gun shows is ammo, anything to get 38 special cheaper. Some are ripoff like you said, but others, it's like, I'm just using that shit fir plinkers and it's 10 bucks less than usual, fuck it

The new muscovite modular-rifle system: MTs-566:
One of the few shotguns I've seen so far.
Looks like there's a use for G36s after all.
Not sure what this is, but it looks slick.
The Mixmaster. Not sure what it's made from, but I'm partial to that stock and RPK-47 magazines.

The comparison of subsonic .300blk to pistol calibers is apt because the speed of a supersonic rifle bullet is what gives it the massive temporary stretch cavity you in ballistic gel tests. The cavity is the result of kinetic energy dissipating in tissue. Expanding, fragmenting, and bullets that yaw and tumble take it a step farther as they allow even more kinetic energy to get dumped. It's been noted by ballistic wound experts that the threshold for this disruption seems to increases dramatically at 2600-2900fps. Tests on live tissue, dog legs iirc, showed this relationship with velocity to be true firing ball bearings at various velocities. High velocity showed something like 20x the tissue disruption lower velocity shots did.
People dog on the subsonic .300blk as a pistol round, yet plenty of people carry pistols and trust their life to them. There are a number of rounds that have proven themselves to hog hunters for many years now. Sure a supersonic rounds are almost assuredly going to be more effective, but some people have the need for what subsonic .300blk offers. I'd personally never larp as some glownigger wetboy and put it in my self-defense rifle, but I have considered it when taking deer on a nuisance to try to not upset neighboring properties. For me the juice wasn't worth the squeeze on something as large as whitetail.
