MASADA News
Magpul is now teamed up with Bushmaster on the MASADA project.
Don’t know if this is a “Stuff That Works” or a “Dumb / Broken Stuff” category. Hoping for the best.

SHOT 2008
Well, those of us who aren’t going to be there are getting geared up to read the reports from those who are. Apparently, they are already setting up the convention halls, and someone on the Interwebz has already leaked this picture of the Glock booth:
Other than that, well, Gun Blast has always been a good place to keep up with the news, and Michael Bane will have a lot of coverage too.
Snopes
is going to have to change its story about kidney-napping:
Shakil, a 28-year-old recovering from a transplant in a Gurgaon hospital, winced as he described how his kidney was forcibly removed.
“Two armed guards took me to another room. They took blood samples … forced me onto a stretcher and then they gave me an injection,” he said. “When I woke up, I had pain in my waist and I was dizzy.”
I HATE when that happens.

Epic Lulz
So on the Military Channel now they are profiling the SAS, and they are interviewing a former SAS guy involved in the SAS / GSG-9 operation at the 1977 Lufthansa hijacking by Palestinians. The SAS guy said that when they started the assault on the plane, they threw a couple of flash-bangs to disorient the bad guys, and one of them (a woman) appeared at the open door of the plane to look out to see what was happening. She was wearing this:
The SAS guy ventilated Che, sending the terrorist onto her reward, and then the SAS and GSG-9 team stormed the jet. Turns out - ALL of the bad guys were wearing Che t-shirts. They were handled with extreme prejudice, and the hostages were rescued.
Just another reason not to wear that Che shirt. “Don’t shoot me! I’m not a terrorist! I go to Bennington!”
Blerrrrgh.
Feel BAD. Home today coughing and watching the Hitler History Channel and the Military Channel; right now they are doing Weaponology - WWII German armaments.
If you were a fly on the wall, you’d hear:
cough cough “best divisions” cough cough “Adolph Hitler” cough cough “impossible missions” cough cough “BOOOMM BANG POW!”
Man, that K98 bayonet is huge! Gonna get out those SOG and Century catalogs now…
