New Israeli Machine Gun — The NG7

Israel Weapon Industries recently unveiled its new NG7, a 7.62mm version of the venerable Negev 5.56mm light machine gun.

Like the standard Negev, it also has a semiautomatic setting for engaging point targets. It has Picatinny rails for mounting optics and Tritium sights for low-light conditions.

IWI developed the NG7 for the Israel Defense Force. It provides maneuvering infantry with an assault gun chambered for the potent 7.62mm NATO round similar to FN’s MK48 LMG in use with special operations units and Army infantry units in Afghanistan.

The NG7 comes in two versions. The standard features a 20-inch barrel and weighs 16.75 pounds. The SF version comes with a 16.5-inch barrel and weighs a few ounces less. Both models have collapsible buttstocks with an adjustable cheek rest.

The Crye ‘GunClip’

The Crye Precision GunClip™ is now available at War Sport LLC.

The GunClip™ is a different sort of holster, specifically intended to mount a weapon with accessories like lights, cans and reflex sights – any light or suppressor, on almost any platform, in any orientation.

“I found that Muzzle Down / Weak Side is the best way to mount the GunClip on the Molle, so far,” says Joey Boswell of War Sport. ” The GunClip can be adjust and locked at every ‘Clock’ setting.”

Available right now in black and FDE only, the GunClip™ is currently available for Glock 17, 19, 22 and 23 only. It has a single adjustment to set rotation (360 degrees), is MOLLE compatible and fits belts up to 2″.

“If your running Suppressors this is great setup,” Joey advises. “In regards to re-holstering it’s a little slower than most. This is not a 3-Gun setup for sure. Purely a tactical setup for Glock’s with kit.”

HSGI’s Mag-Net dump pouch

HSGI (High Speed Gear, Inc.) has a new dump pouch out. It’s called the “Mag-Net”. It’s made of heavy duty mesh with a 5/16” vinyl tubing mouth that works a sort of “coin-purse” type opening. It’s not going to be for everyone and there will no doubt be naysayers, but HSGI’s Gene Higdon responds to that by saying simply, “Find the right gear for the right mission. It’s made so there’s no way to retain water and add minimal weight to your kit. If you don’t need it, then don’t run it; if it’s something you can use it’s gonna work and it’s gonna work well.”

Kit Up! HSGI’s Mag-Net, rolled up and stowed.

Kit Up! HSGI’s Mag-Net, deployed.

In addition to the obvious advantages with drainage you can see what’s inside it as a glance (for those who use a dump pouch to haul extra kit or whatever). This will allow the wearer to select from various shot shells or magazines if they’re loaded differently.

The vinyl tubing is for support and flexibility, and if you’re old enough to remember the old style coin purses (or if your grandparents still use one) then you’ll know how it allows for insertion/extraction.

The Mag-Net is also a good piece of kit for holding range gear, basic breaching stuff and for SSE/site exploitation (something it’s already being used for downrange).

It secures with MALICE clips (and rolls up with tabbed Cordura wraps) and will be available in “smoke green” ATAC-S AU, Khaki, Multi-Cam and Coyote. Pretty much all the Gucci-flages except for the new ATACS-FG.

Oh, and pretty much all your typical magazines will fit inside the Mag-Net. It’ll carry up to five standard Kalash mags or eight M4 mags. It’s made in the wilds of North Carolina, somewhere near the trackless swamps of Camp Lejeune.

SeV Cotton Hoodie

In this day and age, most people carry around two or three gadgets at a minimum. There’s your smartphone, your music player, maybe a tablet, another smartphone for work, and so on and so forth. You’ll eventually run out of pockets to stash your devices in unless you get the SeV Cotton Hoodie.

The SeV Cotton Hoodie comes with a lot of hidden pockets and compartments so you can put all of your devices and other stuff in it. There are jackets and vests, too, if you’re not into hoodies.

Comfortable, Casual, Efficient Apparel You know the best thing about ScotteVest products? All the pockets. You know the worst thing about SeV products? All the pockets. Not cause they’re bulky (they’re engineered not to be), but because you’re gonna put stuff in them that you’re totally going to forget.
This hoodie has 13 pockets that use SeV’s specially-developed weight management system to keep you from looking bulky. Most of the pockets also are integrated into the Personal Area Network (PAN) system so that your headphones stay right where you need them, untangled. And some interior pockets are clear so that you can control your devices (including those with capacitive touch) without removing them.

The SeV Cotton Hoodie is available from Amazon for $69.99 and at ThinkGeek.com for $69.99 in sizes small – XXXL.

Kahr MK9

The steel-framed MK9 shares roughly the same dimensions of its popular polymer counterpart, the PM9 (or its more attainable non-polygonal doppelganger the CM9). The MK9′s a little bit thicker than the PM9, even with its slim nylon grips (which I replaced with wood). Like its siblings, the MK9 sports a 3” polygonal barrel and holds six rounds in its slim single-stack magazine.

The MK9′s fit and finish are superb. There isn’t a single rough edge or ill-considered detail. Everything on this pistol is CNC machined; the fit is super tight. So tight I could barely work the slide during the first few hundred rounds. But more than that, the MK9 oozes quintessence; it’s a timeless design with brick shithouse quality.

Unlike the Ruger LC9, the MK9 is Glock simple: no manual or extraneous safeties. Trigger, slide stop, mag release. Done. The factory sights dot-the-’i’/lollipop style make for quick target acquisition. My eyes really prefer this arrangement over the traditional 3-dot setup; it’s a shame Kahr’s “factory” night sights don’t retain this format.

Kahr ships the MK9 with one flush-fit six-round magazine (it actually protrudes a little bit from the mag-well) and one seven-round magazine with a pinky extension. The seven-rounder’s plastic extension is comfortable but fugly. In fact, the mags’ finish looks more like galvanized gutter pipe than stainless steel. The mags are a real let-down considering the MK9′s staggeringly beautiful satin finish.

Shadowy Samurai: SOG BladeLight Knife

It’s hard not to feel a child-like sense of glee at the thought of an LED-lit knife, the stuff of 21st century samurai fantasies. The new BladeLight (talk about a cool name) comes rigged with a patent-pending LED system that deploys six LEDs affixed into the side of the handle, providing what SOG calls “shadowless” light. If you’re the camping sort, this implement will come in handy: the clip point blade is foldable for easy storage and retrieval when fighting monsters in the woods.

Spikepak Leather Backpack

Some animals have natural, built-in defense mechanisms to ward off their enemies. The porcupine has its quills, the shark has enormous, flesh-tearing chompers, and the pufferfish has spikes as well as neurotoxins. While we humans don’t have any spectacular, deadly body parts quite like these animals, we do have our deadly imaginations and that’s why the Spikepak Leather Backpack was created just for Thinkgeeks.

Wear the Spikepak on days you feel prickly and want to claim authority over your personal space. Nothing need be said when you have this on. The message is pretty clear. But if anyone accidentally bumps into you they won’t be harmed, nor will they be inclined to sue you for damages.

Even though the pack has a typical black color, it stands out just as if it were neon yellow. There’ll be no bag mix-up with a knapsack this original. Mine’s the one with the spikes. Mario Bros. fans will love how Bowser-like the pack’s shape looks. Price Is Right fans will want to play Plinko on it. Goth fans will just love it for what it is.

Get the Spikepak Leather Backpack at ThinkGeek for $57.99.

Dead On Annihilator Superhammer

Does your significant other give you weird looks when you mention the coming Zombie Apocalypse, 2012, or other end of the world scenarios? If so, we feel your pain and apparently so does the maker of this Dead On Annihilator Superhammer. Sure, you can tell your significant other it’s a multi-purpose hand “tool” that makes quick work of projects around the house, but we all know it is a kickass zombie fighting weapon!



Made from forged steel, this fourteen inch multi-tool features precise balance and a secure rubber grip for times when things get messy…And they will get messy when you have a dead-on bottle-opener, multi-purpose wrench, nail puller, demolition axe, and chisel at your disposal. Add the Handy/Rescue Multi-Tool to your collection of “tools” and you’ll be able to wield some serious double handed action.

They say the geek shall inherit the earth, and we’re pretty confident the reason why will be that when the zombies come, we will take the threat seriously. With that in mind, may we humbly present the Dead-On Annihilator Superhammer? This multi-tool of the gods can work as a building tool, hammering nails and straightening boards, as well as a destruction tool, cutting cables and pulling down reinforcements. All you have to do, though, is look at this thing and know it has a much less noble and more brutal purpose…It makes a wicked anti-zombie device.

  • Fourteen inches of forged steel multi-tool with rubber grip
  • Built-in:
  • Dead-On bottle-opener
  • Multi-purpose wrench
  • Nail puller
  • Demolition axe rips through dry wall, shingles, strips conduit, beheads zombies *
  • Chisel smashes through tile, brick, concrete, skulls *
  • Precise balance means you won’t get tired wielding it
  • * Note – Some features not yet verified by an appropriate regulatory agency. Not to be used as a weapon against the living. Please use caution when using against the undead. GeekAlerts does not guarantee Dead On Annihilator Superhammer will protect you against infection, dismemberment, or being devoured by zombie horde.

Keep your “tool” closet stocked and purchase the Dead On Annihilator Superhammer from ThinkGeek for $44.99.

Theme

This is the Effector Theme (v1.2.3) by Carlo Franco. For more information about this theme, visit: http://goo.gl/zjFTX You can also follow: @effectortheme on Twitter for updates!

Effector has some features that differ from the theme I used to use. I'll point out some of the differences in the paragraphs that follow.

Images

My primary reason for switching was to take advantage of the 700 pixel layout size.  The vast majority of my posts are images and they look much better at this larger size. The bad news, however, is that smaller images are enlarged to 700 pixels and don't looks so good. Fortunately, you can click on the pop-up full-size icon in the upper right corner of the image and see it in the smaller size.  Effector supports slider photosets, so look for the navigation bars on either side of photos since I occasionally post multiple photos with a single post

Switching to the Full Tumblr

If you are viewing a single article from my tumblr, you CAN switch to viewing the entire stream of my tumblr articles. All you have to do is click on the title "Crudmudgeonz Tumblr" at the top of the page

Tumview

The vast majority of my posts are photos. A quick way to see all of my photo posts is Tumview.  Using Tumview, you can see a grid of photos on the left side of your browser.  Clicking on a photo will bring up the corresponding post on the right side of your browser.

Archive

If you click on the Archive icon at the top of tjhe page, The archive icon resembles a clock with a circular arrow surrounding it. If you mouse over the icon the "Archive" tool-tip will appear.   In the archive view, all of my posts will be displayed in a grid view by month and day.  Clicking on a post thumbnail will open the full post it represents.

You can also follow me on Twitter @crudmudgeon but I don't Tweet often or consistantly.  I am on Facebook but my posts are mostly posts mirrored from my Tumblr.

Disqus Comments

I have not added comments to the new theme.  I have had some experience with Disqus and I find that the Tumblr question feature largely supplants the need for comments.
