Knock-Off Banshee Plate Carriers

By on January 8, 2016 in Tactical Gear

Shellback Tactical has been a prolonged battle with a company that is, according to Shellback Tactical, using their well-known Banshee Plate Carrier design and naming in an unauthorized manner. That battle has apparently reached a new crescendo with the release of a new series of plate carriers called the Strike Series that are stitch for stitch copies of the Banshee and Banshee QD.

Interestingly, the company producing the plate carriers in question is not based overseas as is typically seen in cases like this. These plate carriers are apparently being made in the USA by a USA based company.

The only way to be sure that you are getting a genuine Shellback Tactical Banshee is to buy directly from them or one of their authorized dealers. If your Banshee is not genuine or is an unauthorized copy, Shellback Tactical will be unable to help you with warranty and service issues. See our previous post on this matter for details.

Available for Pre-Order: Sionics Weapon Systems 11.5″ Reduced Gas Port Barrels

They’re almost here! We first mentioned the Reduced Gas Port barrels that Sionics has been testing back in July of last year. These are barrels that have been designed to operate with a smaller gas port than Sionics’ other barrels with the intention of being used on suppressed AR-15s. The smaller gas port diameter helps deal with the increased back pressure created by a suppressor which results in less muzzle rise, less recoil, less wear and tear, and less gas in the shooter’s face.

Toy guns and swords are disappearing from store shelves as our nation becomes increasingly politically correct and hoplophobic. If there are any toy guns available, they are generally poorly made and imported, or more complex than they need to be for child’s play (airsoft). That is why it warms my heart to come across a company like SturdiGuns.

SturdiGuns makes simple, affordable toy guns, swords, battle axes, grenades, and more from honest-to-goodness wood. Your kid isn’t going to break these within the first few minutes of play. The selection is stunning. They have everything from frontier rifles, to WWII era SMGs, to modern AR-15s. They have gun that are obviously fantasy and guns with recognizable and realistic appearance.

Wooden toy guns aren’t new and these work for all the same reasons that wooden toys always have. They are lightweight, strong, and safe. They can be painted and customized. If they form rough spots, they can be easily repaired with sand paper.

These are the types of wooden toy guns that I wish I could have bought or made when I was a boy. Check out SturdiGuns.
