    Bitch-Busting, Ammo-Counting Aliens Gun Is Real, Scary

    At Milipol, I was walking around FN Herstal's booth, playing with futuristic-looking P90s, Five-Sevens and F2000s when I noticed a camera-toting tourist pretend-blasting with something very very cool: The Armatronics "Black Box" suite with Moving Red Dot Fire Control. More »

    Pistol-Rifle Converter Lets Your Pistol Dream Rifle Dreams

    Yes, believe it or not, this Pistol-Rifle system, which I spotted at Milipol 2009, converts any standard pistol into an assault rifle. Gimmicky? Mostly. More »

    Insane Weapons, Robots and Spy Gear from the Paris Military-Police Expo

    The Milipol exhibition in Paris is where all the pros play with the military-industrial complex's hottest toys. I used special commando skills (and a press badge) to infiltrate the premises and show you the world's freshest, most mind-blowing security tech. More »

    Photo of Boeing's Matrix Laser Destroying an Air Drone

    Boeing has successfully tested their new Matrix laser over airborne targets, which is a world's first. In total, they shot down five drones at various ranges. That's a lot of pew pew in a day. More »

    Tasers Are Safer Than Fists and Batons, Less Safe Than Not Beating People Up

    A new study by the University of Pennsylvania has found that it's safer for cops to use tasers to subdue perps than their fists and batons. But safest of all? Using words and patience. More »

    US Military Wants Armed Spy Bots in Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles

    The problem: The US Army—purveyors of all things camouflage green— thinks that spy planes are too slow to recognize remote battlegrounds. The solution: Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles loaded with weaponized spy bots. The side-effect: World War III. More »

    US Army Rail Gun Fires for the First Time

    Not to be less than the US Navy, the Army has tested their own electromagnetic rail gun, firing several times at Dugway Proving Grounds. Manufacturer General Atomics calls it Blitzer. I call it Hey Enemy Tank, You Have Been Blended. More »

    MetalStorm 3GL Grenade Launcher Should Be Renamed to "You-Gonna-Get-a-Sh*tstorm-of-Metal, Enemy Dude"

    This is not the MetalStorm 3GL Grenade Launcher. It's the Milkor MGL/M32, a lightweight 40 mm semi-automatic, 6-shot grenade launcher. It does a lot of bang-bang-my-baby-shot-me-down, but it's no match for the deadly simple, electronically-fired MetalStorm 3GL: More »

    Super Spit Balls

    You're still using paper? Pfft, how 20th century of you. We recommend only Spit Balls branded spit balls, tiny polymer beads that grow up to 200X (and grossly sticky) in your mouth. $6. [Scientifics via OhGizmo! via Nerd Approved]

    Grenade Launcher Taser Can Hit People 197 Feet Away

    This is exactly what the world needs: Another taser. This one can be fired using a standard 40-millimeter grenade launcher, which gives it a 197-foot range—three times the range of the XREP. Supposedly, it's non-lethal. Some disagree: More »

    Attention all nutters! Now you can buy your very own 179-foot Excelsior-class military assault hovercraft for just $69 million, fully armed, and with plenty of space to carry 140 rangers and three T-80 heavy soviet tanks. She's such a beauty: More »

    Being Based on Assassin's Creed Doesn't Make a Concealed Blade Less Unsettling

    If you're really into Assassin's Creed, you should probably stick to just replaying the game or collecting figurines. Because buying a replica "extension knife" is a great way to have everyone think you're an unstable psycho. More »

    Guy Finds Missile Launcher In His Backyard, Government Lazy About Retrieving It

    A resident of Comal County, Texas named Jarrette Schule found a military issue missile launcher in his backyard. Figuring that the government would surely be looking for it, he made some calls. Amazingly enough, no one seemed to care. More »

    True American Heroes Build World's Largest Pumpkin Cannon

    This isn't some wussy PVC potato cannon. No, this is something much, much better. You've got to wonder about the safety involved here, but really, until someone is killed by a flying gourd, let it rip. [Reddit via CrunchGear]

    Giant Bear Claw Matches Should Be Classified as Lethal Weaponry

    Some people can start a fire with green two twigs in a monsoon, but others among us prefer to do things the easy way. More »

    Video of Airborne Tactical Laser Hitting a Ground Target Is Not Very Satisfying

    You might remember that the U.S. Air Force and Boeing have equipped a C-130 plane with an Advanced Tactical Laser for initial air-to-air tests. In September, it finally hit something successfully: A truck. Cool enough, but don't expect any explosions. More »

    Portable Pain Weapons Leave No Trace of Use, May Become Police Issue

    We don't hesitate to show excitement over non lethal and less-than-lethal weapons, but the reality is that they're kinda scary. In particular when we're starting to see hand-held heat weapons which leave little to no trace of ever being used. More »

    Build Your Own LED-Based Non-Lethal Weapon To Make Frenemies Sea Sick (Sort Of)Disorient

    Homeland Security loves non-lethal weapons: from sound cannons, to the $1M flashlight that temporarily blinds, disorients, and screws equilibrium. And now you can build your own for $250! Does it really work? Not that well, but it's great for raves… More »

    Iran Tests Long Distance Missile Capable of Reaching Europe

    You know it's going to be one of those Mondays when Iranian nutters claim that they successfully tested the Shahab-3—their first multi-stage missile, capable of reaching Europe. Even worse: The multi-stage opens the door for Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles. More »

    LRAD Sound Cannon Used on Pittsburgh G20 Protesters

    I guess military tech always finds its way home. Pittsburgh city officials believe their police department's use of a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) at last week's G20 protests was "the first time the sound cannon had been used publicly." More »
