Knighthawk 1911

A custom 1911 jointly designed and made by Nighthawk Tactical and Knights Armament. It looks kind of like a golf ball with all those dimples on it. These were a limited edition production run paired with a Knights Armament AR.

its like a lego

unhistorical:

July 5, 1937: Hormel Foods Corporation introduces Spam. 

This famous meat product derives its name from a portmanteau of the words “spiced” and “ham”. According to the company’s website, it was “an essential item in soldiers’ diets” during World War II, providing an acceptable substitute for fresh meat, which would have been difficult to transport to the front. Fifteen million cans of Spam were provided each week to soldiers fighting overseas, and it was during this time that the product was introduced in Guam, the Philippine Islands, Hawaii, and other islands in the Pacific, where it remains a unique part of the local culture. According to PRI’s The World, Guam is the world’s leading consumer per capita of Spam.

Spam is also popular in South Korea, whose perception of the product is quite different form that of Americans. Naturally, it was introduced there during wartime as well; in postwar Korea, food was scarce, and any sort of meat - even leftovers from American military bases - was greatly appreciated. In 2007, seven billion cans of Spam products had been produced. Today, it celebrates its 75th birthday, so… happy birthday!

L1A1

British troops in the Falklands with their L1A1 rifles. Note the longer, curved magazine. Those are actually Bren L4A4 magazine converted to feed into the FAL. The problem though is the Bren is top-fed so the spring is weaker than a standard magazine. Note the stanag-scope mount on the rifle in the background.

AMT Hardballer

The standard version of the 1911 sold by AMT, which has been out of business for years now. Less famous than the Hardball Longslide, this is a pretty much a fairly standard 5” 1911. Still has the same problems with the stainless steel galling.

Hitman shit right here!

M32 MGL (This grenade launcher comes from South Africa and has several variants depending on the nation using it. The U.S designation code is M32 and distinguished by the use of an AR type collapsible stock. Other versions usually have the top folding stock similar to a SPAS-12.)
