Gunstruction 3.3 Patch Release

Gunstruction just released their version 3.3 patch. The new patch contains a ton of new parts, new functionality, and should perform better overall on all platforms.

Gunstruction 33 patch

From Gunstruction:

The latest update to the GUNSTRUCTION player features a new platform in the AR308 builder, the DPMS Gen II. We also added caliber support for 6.5 Creedmoor on the AR308 Platform. Other improvements include messages on the downloading screen, per part notifications, revised sharable URL handling for WebGL players, general bug fixes and optimizations. We are also discontinuing use of the web player, and will be moving all browsers over to the WebGL player.

We have also updated the listings for our manufacturer’s full guns, which may affect some older saves.

On top of this we will be adding almost 200 new parts.

Crowdfund This: TIHK EvadeClip

TIHK crashed onto the scene in 2013 with the introduction of their super clever, Tiny Inconspicuous Handcuff Key. Now, with the introduction of the EvadeClip, they are continuing their “desire to protect citizens from those who unlawfully infringe upon life, liberty, and property.”

The EvadeClip is a multi-tool geared toward urban survival and E&E. It is the multi-tool that MacGyver wishes he had when trying to get out of all those sticky situations – maybe not in place of his beloved Swiss Army Knife but certainly in addition to it.

The EvadeClip features stainless steel mini saw for cutting rope, cordage or plastics and a round carbide saw for cutting metal. It also features a three piece lock pick set with a tensioner, a diamond pick, and a bogota style rake. All of these tools fold into a very compact package that looks very unassuming and it has a pocket clip for stowing the EvadeClip on your person or gear.

Check out the the EvadeClip.

UCWRG ShopStix

Never turn down a set of free chopsticks. A gun owner can find all kinds of uses for them, especially for cleaning. I have used them for years to get rags down into the various cracks and crevices you encounter while cleaning a gun. The best part is that they are free with a meal at some Chinese food restaurants. The worst part is they often don’t break apart cleanly (which makes them less useful) and they don’t always lost very long.

Apparently I am not the only one who uses them for working on guns because Umbrella Corporation Weapons Research Group (UCWRG) is now making ShopStix – a more durable alternative to disposable chopsticks made specifically for gun related stuff. These are made from the same polymer as their excellent Rifle Grip 23 (which is still my favorite). UCWRG touts these as useful for cleaning and small parts handling… or as an eating utensil.
