Military Gadgets
Face it, we tax payers actually invest in some of the most cutting edge technology out there in the form of Military Gadgets. Unfortunately they are usually so top secret that we don’t ever see how our tax dollars/pounds/yen/euros/etc. are used. Within this section of CG we report on the cool military stuff that we CAN know about however.
Mace Pepper Gun – Packing Heat!
I worry about personal safety, not so much for myself, but for my little girl. She’s only 10 now so I’m with her most of the time, but someday she’ll be off to the mall, or worse… off to college and all alone. *sniff* I don’t know how I’m gonna handle it, but it would be easier if I knew how to make her safer.

US Navy gets laser cannon of their own
When do we see lasers in action? Well, most of the time, lasers are depicted in science fiction movies sometime in the far off future, where mankind has explored the galaxies far and wide, bringing along with them their sense of adventure and warfare (it is inevitable, as the entire universe is atrophying, so resisting conflict would be futile), and in a case of self-defense (or offense for some), a quick laser shot would do the trick nicely. Star Trek has their phasers, while the X-Wings in the Star Wars universe will see lasers shot from the tips of the S-Foils. The thing is, when will such high tech warfare and weaponry arrive on planet earth? It seems that the answer is “in the right here and now”, where the US Navy has already received its very own kind of laser cannon that has made short work of drones bobbing away in a distance, and said laser cannons can be fitted to active warships.

Micro Unmanned Aerial vehicle grabs “prey” like an eagle
The military world is definitely moving towards the adoption of robots and robotics, ensuring that there will be a lower loss of life on the battlefield, not to mention robots being more efficient at certain tasks without having to grow weary or tired even as they work round the clock. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been a mainstay in the US Army for some years now, and the Predator drone is a prime example, but what happens when you take that concept and draw more inspiration from nature? You will most probably end up with what you see above – the Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (MAV), which works in the way of an eagle, as it is capable of grabbing objects on the fly with the elegance of an eagle that swoops down from high above to snatch an unsuspecting fish from the water’s surface.

Black Hornet Nano Unmanned Air Vehicle
UAVs, or better known as Unmanned Air Vehicles, have become an indispensable part of modern day warfare. Basically, the chances of you wiping out an enemy is far higher if you happen to possess weapons of mass destruction as well as sport the latest that technology can offer. Well, folks in the British Army have a new “toy”, so to speak, to play around with, and that would be the Black Hornet Nano Unmanned Air Vehicle which will measure approximately 4” x 1”, and will offer troops who are on the ground the kind of situational awareness which is all too vital in sensitive missions.

TrackingPoint lock-and-launch technology arrives on a combat rifle
TrackingPoint certainly lives up to their name as a company. Basically, they are a precision guided rifle development company that operates right out of Austin, Texas, and they have come up with a new kind of breakthrough technology which is said to have transferred the wonders of jet fighter lock-and-launch technology onto a combat rifle. That is clearly something amazing to consider, no? We are talking about the average shooter actually being capable of achieving sniper-level accuracy, now how about that?

300° Simulator – Not Your Kid’s Shooting Game
Many years ago I used to teach skeet shooting, it was quite an entertaining job and it kept me on my toes, because almost everyday there was a very real possibility of getting shot by someone who wasn’t really listening as well as they should. Shooting was also a very expensive sport, so after I left, I didn’t get to shoot as much anymore.
