"Apple now has over 1.5 billion apps for the new iPhone. "

Make that 1.5 billion DOWNLOADS... there are only about 60,000 apps at last count.

An application for sniper rifles? Handy. I’ll remember this next time I have to go snipe hunting.

No sniper needs such a device on a short range weapon. Also, a flip up rear sight under a scope that can only be removed using a tool?

Saw this while clicking through a few of the links. Check out the "spare time project gun for fun": (Doesn't seem ergonomically designed to fire from another position than from the hip, but looks like a hoot!

Photobucket

Gunmakers at Knight’s Armament Company made this concept gun as somewhat of a “joke,” building it in their spare time after work. It was designed to have the ergonomics of a chain saw, and the firepower of a SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon). It’s based on the idea that heads up displays no longer require a gun to be held up to the face for aiming. Theoretically, this type of grip could be applied to many different weapons in the future.
