Brownell's Releases The BRN-134D Minigun


A full-auto minigun would be a NFA item and probably would run afoul of the Hughes Amendment. However, Brownells has recently released a semi-auto version of the minigun. It isn't cheap but I could see buying a few of these if I had been the lucky person in Wisconsin who just won the Powerball lottery last week.

They say:
In this special edition of our weekly Brownells new products vlog, Paul Levy shows us the new BRN-134D™ Minigun. Developed in partnership Dillon Aero, the BRN-134D is the latest addition to Brownells line of detail-correct semi-auto clones of military firearms. It sports all the standard Minigun features: rotary barrel system with 6 ordnance-grade steel barrels chambered in 7.62x51 NATO, electric-powered motor, disintegrating link feed chute, and a 3,000 round ammo box. The BRN-134D comes with a Picatinny rail up top for the red dot or scope of your choice (optic not included) and an aircraft-mountable stand of rugged, powder-coated steel (included). The price? Surprisingly reasonable!
 Paul Levy has a different idea of "surprisingly reasonable" than me. That said, you are getting a lot of weapon for your $125,000.


The Ultimate Camo!


UF Pro has just announced they are releasing a new camo pattern. It should work in the deer stand, the duck blind, and, most importantly, for our armed forces wherever they may be. It truly is a universal camo.

This camo is so universal that they makers are calling it Invisible Camo.

Hemispheric Distortions In Long Distance Shooting


Ryan Cleckner is an attorney. He is also a former sniper who served with the Army Rangers. He has made a series of videos for NSSF and has written an excellent book on long range shooting. In his latest video he explains the impact on hemispheric distortions on shooting. If you are planning a safari to southern Africa - Namibia, Zimbabwe, or South Africa - you should really pay attention.




You should also pay attention to what day it is and I don't mean Easter.

New Product From A Vortex-Hornady Collaboration


Vortex Optics and Hornady have collaborated on a new cartridge that is being released just for today. It has many features but the most important one in my estimation is that it saves you the trip down the range to examine your target. You don't have to wait for the range to be called "cold" before checking where your bullet has struck the target. Moreover, you don't have to invest in expensive spotting scopes either.

Microtechnology just never ceases to amaze me.

In Honor Of The Day


From Facebook by Closet Conservative

I wonder if her invitation to stay at her house in the Indy suburbs while I attend the NRA Annual Meeting is still open. Maybe it is the day but I think she might have been putting me on just like she has been putting on the media about being a stay-at-home mom from suburbia.
