This handy piece of hardware was the result of a satellite-call from a soldier in Iraq. He said that at checkpoints, they need to launch a flare at vehicles that don't stop, as part of the escalation-of-force rules. If a vehicle doesn't stop for the flare, the soldier will need his weapon ready. The problem was; the issued MK-31 flare launchers were hard to find, and dig out of a pocket in a hurry. He suggested some kind of weapon mount, making it easy to launch a flare with a weapon shouldered, at the ready. As per his suggestion, we created the LT-663 MK-31 mount. Unfortunately, the call was dropped, and we didn't get the soldier's name so if you read this, please send us an email, or give us a call. We'd like to show our appreciation for such a good idea.

But motorists who acted quickly before police arrived made off with at least 10,000 euros (AP)http://i27.tinypic.com/xlmio0.jpg

I know nothing about Miss America or who wins it, but the fact that she's taking their time (or why she even needs to take their time) has me perplexed...plus I expected hotness and she's just not giving it:

Point of Order. Prince Harry is NOT climbing out of an RAF Fuchs. he is climbing out of a vehicle that is based at RAF Honington as part of the Joint CBRN Regiment but belongs to 1 RTR (Royal Tank Regiment) hence the 'Chinese Eye'. Half of the Regiment is in this role along with elements from the RAF Regiment. Details, I know but not an RAF wagon.

What is this attachment on top of the barrel of the assault rifle?


not a pen flare but a green laser in accordance with EOF. for mounted, if applicable, hand signal/flagging, green laser, THEN pen flare, M4, .50/240.
