New Diamondback Firearms DB FS Nine Pistol
Back at the 2012 SHOT Show, I got to interview Diamondback Firearms founder and CEO Brad Thomas. I had been examining a prototype for the DB RTS tactical shotgun (that was eventually displaced in their line-up by the DB15 AR-15-style rifle). During our conversation, Mr. Thomas told me about their plans to develop a full-sized pistol. We are finally getting a look at it. The new DB pistol is a striker-fired 15+1 handgun chambered in 9mm.

TASER-proof Clothing Project
Hackaday.com has webbed up a “TASER-proof” clothing project. The suggested mod is to use carbon-fiber strips in garments to make them “100% taserproof.” By inserting iron-on CF tape strips between layers of cloth, the space-aged material will allegedly conduct electrical energy from a TASER or stun gun away from the clothing’s wearer and into the CF strips to be dispersed without result. Skin penetration by the probes is supposedly rendered ineffective as well. Gee, it is too bad that modern law enforcement officers do not train to transition to other less lethal options when their CEW’s are ineffective. Oh, wait a minute… We do! This geek-inspired Hackaday Internet invention is … Continue reading
