An Interesting data point regarding commercial Super Safety sales and product population. Super Safety manufacturer/retailer (assume all SS retailers are using Chinese OEM's unless explicitly proven otherwise) recently held a little competition to guess how many SS Cams were divided between two plastic tubs. The answer was 2,645. 2,645 cams to be paired with 2,645 cams to create 2,465 Super Safeties. Fudd Arms is but one retailer among a not inconsiderate amount including "branded" retailers (GMR, Z3 etc), Facebook group/Ebay/Arfcom dropshippers and guys selling at Gunshows. Tim Hoffman revealed the Super Safety to the world in July of 2023, commercial metal models came a couple months later.
They would not be manufacturing/ordering this many cams if they didn't expect to be able to sell them (indicating market demand). Just something to think about the wider implications of.
Keeping on the data train.
Just because a projectile of a certain composition and weight does well at penetrating steel of a certain alloy of certain thickness at a certain distance does not mean that performance translates into penetration capability regarding modern composite body armor.
See
Steel plate made of "High Hardness Armor" steel penned by both Hybrid 7.62 and 6.8 at 150 meters/164 yards with I believe EPR style projectiles
What isn't stated is what barrel length the projectiles were fired from. Whether it be the 13" XM7 or the 16" XM250. And while I am not a materials scientist I want to state the obvious and say that this steel plate of 5-7mm thickness is not the same as a ceramic strike face with a UHMWPE backing
And
And finally refer to my master post on the subject of 6.8 EPR AP Capabilities
AGPinochet tries to definitively with a relatively high degree of confidence try to settle the discussion as to whether 6.8x51 military pressure loadings with EPR Projectiles can consistently penetrate body armor at ranges where that actually matters /
Uh
Not sure I entirely believe the claim but this is said to be a Beryl in the Khyber Pass
This is Hi-Point Carbine
Luger with custom suppressor adapter in the hands of a European Criminal
A professionally manufactured version of a similar adapter
Speaking of suppressor mounts, Herrington Arms has thrown their hat into the "We're making our known proprietary micro comp" ring but have taken in a step further and designing an attachment that turns pretty much any direct thread suppressor into a QD Suppressor (the system works by depressing a built in button on the attachment itself)
Wear Prevention insert for use with the TX-22 FRT by Steezy Squirts
Titanium DMLS hand guard for MCX Series by US Armor Forge
"Mag Lever" by AK Hammer
According to the creator Griffin Armament has purchased the rights to this design and will be releasing an improved version of it
Experimental Tula TsKIB 5.66mm underwater assault rifle, never went into production. Coloration is not due to paint but a special corrosion resistant coating. Belt fed and heavily skeletonized to the point of absurdity to avoid water compression
Venezuelan with a "Let's Go Brandon" AR (the guy whose truck this was stolen out of is never ever getting it back)
ASM VAL in Lebanon
so the actual gun is probably "only" $4k).
According to TFB street price for the standard edition will be $3600 and that's before Any sales
That's actually a pretty neat use for a Angstadt Vanquish (which, when you think about it is both the simplest suppressor ever made and the greatest absurdity in suppressor regulation). I've never actually been able to see a photo of town a d's under those handguards, is that actually similar to the real thing? I always assumed KAC chopped up some FSB's and welded them onto the tube bodies.
