Cobalt Kinetics is launching a lower receiver only version of their “featureless” Model 27 rifle for people looking to build their own rifles.

Ruger’s got four new pistols and rifles for this summer building on some of their most popular products. They’re adding an SR1911 Officer, a Security-9 laser bundle, and new automatic and bolt-action rimfire rifles.

Chinese outlets are reporting that researchers have built a “laser AK-47,” a light and man-portable “less-lethal” weapon. The weapon, called the “ZKZM-500 laser assault rifle,” is allegedly effective out to 800 meters.

Special operations snipers will evaluate 6.5mm platforms to determine how much better the cartridge could perform in the field.

It turns out the chainsaw bayonet is a real product, and it’s currently available in its second iteration for the low, low price of $800. The “Killsaw” is being manufactured by a Nevada company called Panacea X, and the 20V, 10-inch saw is ready and waiting to be mounted to the picatinny rail of your zombie survival rifle.

It’s here, folks! Mossberg announced Tuesday that their non-NFA Shockwave platform got the 590″M” magazine-fed makeover!
