Unbreakable Umbrella

Posted on September 15, 2009 4:05 AM

We suppose the umbrella is a decent weapon in the right hands, especially those of a martial arts champion. For those who are less adept, there is always the Unbreakable Umbrella which should be able to pummel anyone into submission while working nicely to protect you from the rain and scorching sunshine after that. Made from ABS which is supposedly as strong as a steel bar, the Unbreakable Umbrella weighs just 787 grams. We wonder whether the handle of the umbrella works better as a club, or do you prefer to fence your adversary to a corner. $180 is the asking price for the Unbreakable Umbrella.

XM25 Individual Air Burst Weapon

Posted on May 27, 2009 6:03 PM

Remember the shoulder-mounted weapon that we see in the Predator movies? Well, the US military has already achieved something like that in the form of the XM25 Individual Air Burst Weapon. This will most probably be the shoulder-fired weapon of choice for the US military in situations that are required to kill or neutralize hidden targets. The use of High Explosive Air-Burst (HEAB) munitions with the XM25 comes in handy as it was specially programmed to detonate at a precise point in the air, all without requiring any impact - news that would definitely make the baddies hiding out in their caves shudder with fear.
