Yo, they’re bringing back Canister?!

For the uninitiated, a canister shell for a tank cannon pretty much converts that cannon into an extremely large shotgun.

The shells are filled with lead shot, and behave pretty much like conventional shot from shotgun shells, and were primarily designed for use against clustered infantry and soft targets, but also found some use as an area-clearance tool in dense brushland and jungle.

Makes a lot of sense to adapt them for use as an anti-UAS weapon, as it’s large spread and low cost make them desirable compared to other weapon systems like MANPADs and SPAAG. It means those systems can focus on larger threats instead of quad-copers and other micro-drones.

New U.S. Army tank platoon doctrine is out.

Includes instructions for targeting quadcopters with the main gun of an M1A2 Abrams MBT.

I feel like politicians' insults about each other have really gone down hill. These days it's all "moron" and "loser", so childish. Think what you will of Paul Keating, but he gave us such gems as "he's a shiver waiting for a spine", "debating him is like being flogged with warm lettuce", "he's like a lizard on a rock: alive but looking dead", "he's all tip and no iceberg".

Where's the creativity these days?!

Whether it’s a dinky air rifle round or what amounts to a thermonuclear weapon… one shot is one shot.

Bespoke: Roach is a British-born American citizen with mixed nationality parents (one Brit and one UK) who grew up in the States but moved back to the UK, and rocks the joint flag patch out of respect for both sides of his heritage:

Hi did you still got the chest holster file? I mean the ghost glock holster.

The file is for the baseplate, not the holster itself. You will need to buy the appropriate holster to attach, which is a Blackhawk SERPA CQC Concealment holster.

Hi Jesse, I was wondering if you still have the file to 3D print the chest holster platform. I also want to know what is the name of the straps and the SERPA holster you purchased?

Hi!

The file for the holster should still be live if you just run a search on my blog for holster. I added the download link as a reblog to one of the preview/Wip Posts.

The straps aren’t anything special, just 25mm nylon webbing. Make sure you get the same size buckles and such too.

The holster is a clone of a Blackhawk CQC Concealment Serpa Holster, and was taken from a drop-leg rig. It doesn’t matter if you get one that’s belt-mounted or platform mounted, as long as you can unscrew it from its mount and screw it to the printed mount with enough thread for a stable mounting, you should be good.
