… Am I the only one that got a pony sent to them?

*Only other bloggers are gonna know what that means… unless, of course, I was the only one that got a pony and in that case no one will know what I mean. Oh well. Thought I would ask.

Excuse me, I meant to say tacti-cool. Yes, this is a .177 caliber air rifle:

Its the latest from Crosman called the MK-177. This from their site:

This all-new, tactical, variable pump, BB/pellet rifle features new valve technology combining lower pumping force with higher velocities. Features include a full tactical rail on top with adjustable sights and side rails for accessories. The MK-177 is fed by a 5 shot pellet clip or choose the internal 300 + BB magazine, conveniently located on the side. The newly designed bolt handle is larger and located on left side for ease of use. Store ammo in the handy space beneath the rubber shoulder friction pad. Assembled in the USA.

• Rugged, all-weather construction
• Tactical pistol grip
• Full Picatinny rail
• Accessory rails for flashlight or laser
• Rifled steel barrel
• Fully adjustable sights

In all seriousness, if you are going to use a baseball bat for personal defense then get a t-ball bat. The shorter length and lighter weight makes them very handy. But in the immortal words of Joe Biden “Buy a shotgun… Buy a shotgun.”

You might remember the write up that I did on the SafeGuard Armor Stealth Concealable Body Armor a while back. Its a great product and I was very happy with it all the way around… Black Sheep Warrior has a write up posted up now on the very safe product that you should definately go give a look.
