Best April Fools of 2019

Magpul Polymer Waffle Maker

First up… This April Fools’ joke is right on point. Posted on the high-tech polymer and composite firearms accessory giant’s Facebook page and Instagram, the post reads “You’ll stop skipping breakfast.” The photo says the rest. Dear Magpul, we really wish this were a real thing!

BRN-134D™ Minigun

Next… Brownells gets us good with their debut of the new BRN-134D™ Minigun priced just for April Fools’ Day at $125,000.

The post reads: In this special edition of our weekly Brownells new products vlog, Paul Levy shows us the new BRN-134D™ Minigun. Developed in partnership Dillon Aero, the BRN-134D is the latest addition to Brownells line of detail-correct semi-auto clones of military firearms. It sports all the standard Minigun features: rotary barrel system with 6 ordnance-grade steel barrels chambered in 7.62×51 NATO, electric-powered motor, disintegrating link feed chute, and a 3,000 round ammo box. The BRN-134D comes with a Picatinny rail up top for the red dot or scope of your choice (optic not included) and an aircraft-mountable stand of rugged, powder-coated steel (included). The price? Surprisingly reasonable!

Get Out Of Jail Free Card

Finally, the Joliet Police Department in Illinois have really found a way to build trust with select members of the community. The post on their Facebook page this morning reads: Today only, stop by our station to pick up a “Get Out Of Jail Free” card! If you have a warrant, come on in and one of our officers can take care of that for you as well!

Tribe One Tie-down and Load Securement Solutions

Almost all of us in the tactical field drool over the latest gear and accessories for everything from weapons to clothing, and many of us are self-proclaimed pack-junkies quick to snatch up the latest in rucksack and tactical bag options (although whether or not we actually have anything to put in that bag yet can sometimes be irrelevant.) While we typically pay careful consideration to the pockets, load capacity, weatherproofing and any number of features that a pack may boast, we inevitably end up slapping on 100 MPH tape, bungees, paracord, zip-ties and even rubber bands to get our load-out right where we want it. One challenge that is often difficult to overcome, however, is a lack of anchor points. D-rings and webbing occasionally fit the need of securing gear that can’t be thrown in a bag or need to be readily accessible, but there just never seems to be enough of them to go around.
