Have you subscribed to Smarter Every Day yet? You should! I recently posted about part 1 of this video and now the second part is available.
Watch as Destin and crew shoot an AK underwater and capture it all on high speed cameras. The footage at the 4:30 mark is stunningly beautiful and Destin’s break down of the various stages of gas escaping the barrel is absolutely fascinating. I refuse to learn any science unless it has AKs and high speed video from now on.
Primary Arms has shown an ability to bring a solid optic to market at a reasonable price. Their optics are especially popular on training carbines where you may not want to spend top dollar on the exact same optics to match your go-to carbine. Their most recent announcement, a 1-6×30 optic for just $250, is sure to find its way onto a carbine near you.
It will feature what Primary Arms is calling the ACSS reticle. The ACSS incorporates bullet drop compensation, range estimation, wind, and leads. The reticle is illuminated and located in the second focal plane. See the video below for more information about the reticle.
This optic will be available with a number of optional accessories like mounts, scope caps, and mini reflex optic mounts.
If you have been reading JTT for long, you already know that the LanTac DGN556B Dragon Muzzle Brake is coming to the US market soon (very soon actually, see below). LanTac recently released a new video with some high speed footage of the brake in action. I’m impressed…
Check out LanTac-USA. Pre-ordering is now open!
Gear Whores Anonymous has the Midas Touch when it comes to patches. They have made some great ones. Their most recent patch poses a philosophical question that has been pondered for centuries…
Here is something to get excited about! Mountain Tribe Gear is moving right along with their soft launch. They are already starting to show upcoming original products like the new Packboard.
PALS comparable pack boards aren’t necessarily a new idea. What is new is that this one is based around the comparatively affordable, very durable, and comfortable Down East Inc polymer frame.
I can’t wait to see what they come up with next. Check out the Mountain Tribe Gear Facebook Page to keep up to date on their progress.
