This thread has gotten me fighting off the urge to splurge on a new addition to the gun safe. I really like my cousins xdm. Keeps looking better and better every time I see one. 19 rounds sounds nice. Kinda torn between that and a FN 5x7. Little to pricey though for a all plastic gun with ammo that's so expensive. Could get a nice new M4 of some sort for less money. THen I start daydreaming about long rifles, and start eyeballing 308 semi's. Either on an AR platform, or an FN type. Anyone got one of these?

Things to add to the dream equipment list: Backhoe!

More versatile than a straight bulldozer. You can run a bucket, blade, forks (and adapt into a crane) on the front and still have the rear pto for the hoe, jackhammer, and anything else you can power with hydraulics.
Not something you can pack in a rucksack, but something to be on the lookout for in the post Z day world for moving, building, and destroying anything you can get a bucket on!

Just a quick update on the XD 45. I almost traded it off a couple weeks ago, but after I bead blasted it and applied a clear matte dura-coat finish, I fell in love all over again with the gun. Enough so that I went out and purchased a twin, so now I got twin XD 45's (I had to blast and coat the new one as well):

I've been doing some random unrelated searches and found a process you may be interested in to change your grip color. Hydro graphics. It's an inked film that contours to whatever it comes into contact with. I'd recommend plugging or taping off the critical parts and just dipping the frame. I don't know what the longevity is without clear coating it, but it's cheaper than buying a new frame... which you just did Looks good though, it's growing on me like Nitrox.

 

[muttSRT]

I couldnt buy a new frame, Springfield wont sell one. Any links to the Hydro graphics? I will do a search and check it out. Thanks for the heads up

Here's a quick find but the finishes/patterns are by no means the only ones available.

New addition to the Twin XD's... Laserlyte/Ka-Bar pistol bayonets and slip on Pachmayr grips. I also have a killer shoulder rig being made and will post some pics once I get it.

Perfect for Gun-Fu, otherwise... If they're that close, it's already too late! I do like Pachmayer grips though. They're awesome all the way up until they get too old or hot and then they're just a sticky mess. Keep 'em away from alcohol and other solvents and that should be many years in the future.

I was wondering about the grips...you can see in the pic I have them set at 2 different heights trying to see what grip I like best...I was also looking at grip tape, but didnt want anything that would permanently mess up the handles. I was afraid the sticky part would stay on the handle and I didnt want to have to use a solvent to get it off.

As far as the knives, well they are pretty much for show...they were cheap enough...I am trying to get stuff together to make a video for the freq z channel...Once the holster is completed, I will probably put something together...the holster is kind of over the top as well, but its all in fun.

I figure I might try to do a weapon review of sorts and submit it to the evil one for consideration on the channel. Maybe make several vids for different weapons...hell I might even get lucky enough and act like a fool and end up being like the stars wars kid: YouTube - Star Wars Kid

But if I end up making a fool of myself, hopefully Dr evil can make me look kind of cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GJOVPjhXMY&NR=1

I wonder. what ever happened to star wars kid? At least he didn't go the way of the dentist kid and make more of them.

I will work it in GUARANTEED! Can't wait to see some footage.

That offer stands for anyone that wants to submit footage for Frequency-Z too. Keep it comin'!

needless to say I have nothing usefull to contribute to this thread......

what kind of zombie tools are you looking for???

a functional man would be nice......

Check the last few posts in the zombie plan of the week. Chuck Norris seems pretty functional.

 

[lorikay13]

this works for me................

I drive.....he shoots.....CES passes ammo........dogs stand on roof and bark like fools

 

[CES]

Work for me as long as we both have a good view of him.

 

[lorikay13]

well since he's shooting he will be spinning in circles......

 

[CES]

who has dibs when he gets dizzy and falls down?

 

[muttSRT]

pic of the new rig coming soon.......

 

[muttSRT]

New shoulder rig came, but it needs a little more work. Once I get it right, I will review it for the tool thread. On a good note, I have 2 more custom pieces being made that will complete the set. Then my transformation into the new "stars wars kid" will be complete

Passing along something a buddy of mine sent me. I knew about the air rifle but not all the details surrounding it. Pretty impressive stuff even by today's standards and something I'll be researching further for possible z-day deployment!
