Special addition. At the end of January there is a HUGE Firearms and accessories Trade Show that features all the new and cool stuff coming out in the new year. It's held in Las Vegas like all good Trade Shows are. That show is called SHOT Show and I've never been to one but it's on my list of things to see before I get to old to enjoy such things. The Shot Show is a great place to find out about new and exciting things coming out of the firearm community the only problem is that this year there didn't look like there was anything just downright...ZOMG! THAT'S F'ING COOL!
This year looked like a good year to expand on all the cool stuff that you can add to to your firearms and some cool gear to keep your ass from getting any additional inlets and outlets. I liked that you can now add a little holosight to the side of your M4 (or similar) to use with the grenade launcher.
The tactical gear is looking more and more futuristic with new face protection plates to be added to helmets to help protect soldier's faces from gun fire. Also new camo patterns are all the rage as well. I was a little disappointed in Magpul since they didn't bring any new cool guns this year like last years FPG but they did bring some cool stuff like their big UniMog transporter which is I guess for sell here. Their Ronin Bike was also there and that thing looked bad ass so they can forgiven a bit for no new cool gun.
Of course what would a trade show be without those lovely booth babes. Though I didn't see anything to spectacular in the that department either. Of course it doesn't help that I like the Asian and there wasn't a single one (minus one Asian party girl) but for Shot Show it's all about the cool guns to look at and I found some good places to look at those pictures. This is a good start to the photos from a guy named SMGLee who takes some dang good pictures for M4Carbine.net. I also found a link to this place that has a flickr account that has some cool pictures also. Then there is this person who is the official photographer for Magpul and they are some fantastic photos.
Check out this leaked video of the Remington ACR that some gun found. Pretty cool.
But even better than that is one of two videos of the Maxim party girls oh yes. You'll have to check out SMGLee's channel for the other one.
All you have to do to get some other great videos is do a search and you'll get a ton of great videos.
