Chris Costa and Thyrm Introduce Thier New Tactical Flashlight Rings
As reported by Soldier Systems, Thyrm and the Chris Costa have come up with The Switchback. A tactical flashlight ring. I think a ring on a flashlight is not a bad idea. The idea is not new. I myself tried using an flashbang ring on my surefire, but it was not reliable. Surefire has come up with thier own flashlight combat rings a couple of years ago but I have not seen anyone use them.
Thyrm and Costa seems to have come up with something that may work. Check out the switchback video and let me know what you think.

Bullpup Revolver Shotgun Design
A Bull Pup shotgun design is not new. The High Stanard Model 10 and H&K's CAWS are two early examples. Whats new here is the revolver type cylinder and its in a bull pup form. I've already seen people concerned that if theres a KABOOM, it would be close to your face. Although thats a legitimate concern. I think if you use factory ammo you should be okay. Soldier System Daily is reporting that the SIX12 is designed for breachers so this sounds like a specialty shotgun. But lets admit it, it looks way cool.
