Recently purchased a smaller bag for travel and possibly EDC. On the left is a Red Rock Rambler sling bag which is a copy of a Maxpedition Stika, on the right is a Red Rock Rover sling bag in Coyote, which is a copy of a Lunada sling. Currently the Rover has my Acer A500 inside of the main pocket, a Condor Sidekick Pouch on the front filled with tools and such, the Condor gadget pouch on the side has a video camera and lens and battery inside of it. For the most part it is full of what I carried in the Rambler minus spare change of clothes and water.
I’d like to introduce to you the tacticool strobist bag. I was in the market for a bag for my new Gitzo 1541T tripod but wasn’t happy with anything I found. Most were too bulky and/or long, which defeated the purpose of having travel-sized gear. Speedlites are my strobe of choice for their portability and convenience so in that vein I also use Manfrotto 001B Nano light stands (19″ when collapsed), and double-fold umbrellas. Luckily, I found a bag that fits everything! You can find it at County Comm (I love this place).
Meet the Maratac Extreme SAT-COM bag.

For the purists among us who despise all modern and/or tacticool AKs ... a well-used old-school AK-47 with a milled Type-3 receiver and original plywood furniture. Circa: 1957.
This is an old build (see original here: www.flickr.com/photos/53459776@N03/7683534854/in/album-72...).

Finally got all my toys in yesterday. I've had the Nightstalker since last week, and the Zippo for god knows how long. My E2D LED and Subcom came in last night, and my carbon fiber scale(by Ancient Sword) came in last week. Gonna pick up a TAD sheath for the light, and a Jurgen strap later this week.
I do regret getting the carbon fiber scale though. While the craftsmanship is great, it doesn't look as "Tacticool" as the stock G10.
I'd like to say this is my EDC gear, but I can't always bring the knife, and the light is too cumbersome for when I'm in dress clothes. My eyeglasses, wallet and keys are missing but those aren't fun to look at, and I think they're already somewhere in my photo stream.
Well I decided to rework my Enforcer MP by adding a different rail integrated hand-guard, & a new scratch built selector switch system. Then just for kicks I added my Dazzler Foregrip, iron sights, Integraluxe suppressor, & reinforced mk. 2 stock.
Improved version of my Infantry battle rifle.
Cleaned it up and slimmed it down. Now 40% less tacticool!
Queen + PMG = good times. pastie.org/972322
Thoughts and suggestions?
Adapted for a more realistic shotgun setup, including a pump-mounted 10-LED flashlight for dark rooms and blinding opponents and a holo sight for quick target acquisition.
And apparently it fits a great many types of receivers, so it was a no-brainer to fit a complete SR-25 receiver and look how it turned out :-)
Size comparison to my hand. It's small, but it functions very well as a nail file. Plus there is no need to fear grabbing onto the steel, as it is not sharp. If you're interested in one, feel free to contact me :)

So I've come to a frustrating halt with my design here. I'm having what I guess is the PMG equivalent of writer's block.
I definitely want to showcase the basic rifle and a variant of some sort. Pictured above is the extremely rough tacticool model.
This might be put on the back-burner until I can work out the handguard and the stock area. If anyone wants the data for these to diddle around with, just ask.
Just trying some designs. And yeah I only made the sights..... don't worry this is not going on the group.

A kitbashing idea came to me to create a machine pistol with Skorpion cum Glock 18 aesthetics, whilst designing it I decided to give it a RoF of 400 RPMs, a 20 round mag with a mag release trigger held within the "corrugated" section of the foregrip, and a recessed fire control selector hidden under the trigger guard. When I was deciding what pistol grip to use, I came up with the notion of making it a three finger grip, with the trigger finger resting on the side of the trigger well just as it does all semi-auto pistols & revolvers. The color scheme comes from a tacticool kitbashing/parts lottery range of weapons I designed for elsewhere.
A disruptive energy rifle modeled after the FNH P90 with a thermal sight, BURDS, an all else fails BUIS set, & this is equipped with a sling mountable under-guard. Basically this is a blending exercise on my part, & a few custom part sets from a mix of presets and shapes exercise as well. Hope y'all like this attempt.
You don't have to spend a lot of money to make your camera all tacticool!
(My standard camera gear, based on the old 20D, plus: One $75 500mm f/8-or-worse lens, which isn't very useful for anything. And one big old Hanimex potato-masher flash, which cost even less, and may actually be quite handy. Low trigger voltage, thyristor auto and variable manual settings, blah blah Strobist blah. The flash came with coloured filters, so I had to put one of them on it to make the picture even stupider.)
