To prove my skills I give you theses 40 mm rockets with customized warheads that include TL: Standard HEDP, ML: 6mm Grapeshot, BL: 10mm Cluster Mini-Grenade, TR: Incendiary Gas Dispersal & Ignition, MR: Spearhead Harpoon/Nonexplosive Defense Shredder, & BR: A Manriki a.k.a. Snare Line trapping tool. The Grapeshot, CMG, & Manriki rockets all contain timers that initiate kicker charges that activate each rocket's unique attribute like the Grapeshot's timer allows for near precise dispersal of the ball bearings "glued" to the exterior and suspended in the explosive interior, the CMG's kicker activates a series of firing pins that release each mini-grenade separately for larger area damage and then initiates a detonation timer in the rocket shaft to add a fifth explosion to the chain, and the Manriki's timer activates 4 tapered .22 LR blank holding nozzles to release the chain's weighted head. I will post the launcher I designed for these next, fair warning the launcher contains a color scheme designed for a user that was/is a Beverly Hills Barbie after years of steroid abuse & mercenary service.
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.
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.
Right in front of City Hall--where the Olympia Police Department is also headquartered--there is a bronze pig.
While angling for this shot, I overheard a rather bitter sounding conversation between a couple precision-barbered beardos clad in tacticool cargos, vests, and boots. They were scowling at all the murals on boarded up windows in support of black lives. A choice quotation from this: "See, this is why I hate even coming down to Olympia. It's all about virtue signaling. They barely even have any black people here. We have way more blacks out in Lacey."
It's like it's unconscionable that people would show any sign of caring about problems that affect people who are different than themselves! Ain't it funny how people who gripe about "virtue signaling" can't seem to care about anybody but themselves? Are the signals faulty, or is it your receptors? In any event, it's about showing solidarity anyway. It may not be as impactful as direct action or calling your representatives, but that has its own value, too.

A nail file I made from an Opinel No. 4 folding knife. This one's for my wife, but if you're interested in one, feel free to contact me :) I shaped the handle so the blade will be easier to remove. I can make that even more extreme if need be
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.
HA HA. It's a Horseman!
So my brother is testing and testing for a LEO job and I'm like, "I have the hookup for Oakley, Emerson, etc" and he said "No tacticool gear until I get some tin." Fine bro. But you ride horses, own a horse, you're getting an Emerson Horseman. HA HA.
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.)

My Belstaff 556 was a bit small (looked a lot like a murse on me - i'm 6'2", 150lbs at most) so I got the larger 556. I also got it in a less tacticool colour - Mountain Brown. I like it.
Oh, and I'm moving back to California next month =] Orange County here I come...(I'm living in Newport Beach)
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.
