.310 Martini Cadet

 

The Martini Cadet is a centrefire single shot rifle produced in the United Kingdom by BSA and W.W. Greener for the use of Australian military Cadets.

Based on a miniature version of the Martini-Henry it was internally different. Chambered for the .310 Cadet also known as the .310 Greener, they were also sold to the public as the BSA No.4, 4a, 4b and 5 in other calibres like the .297/230 and .22 rimfire. The rifles will often chamber the similarly sized .32-20 Winchester and fire with some accuracy.

After being sold by the Australian government many were converted to sporting or target rifles, often re-barrelled to calibres like .22 Hornet, .218 Bee, .25-20 Winchester, .222 Rimmed, .357 Magnum and others to .22 rimfire .

Farewell to a great American Hero .

Chris Kyle and his friend ,Chad Littlefield are dead because of a man called Eddie Ray Ruoth .

Authorities said 38-year-old Chris Kyle, a former top Navy SEAL sniper and author of the best-selling book “American Sniper,” was shot to death with his friend at a Texas shooting range on Feb. 2, 2013.

Kyle, 38, and Littlefield, 35, had taken Routh to the range to try to help him work through his PTSD. Littlefield was Kyle’s neighbor and “workout buddy,” .

It is unclear what Routh’s motive was for the murders. Police say he was unemployed and “may have been suffering from some type of mental illness from being in the military.

Kyle had 160 confirmed combat kills from a distance of up to 2,100 yards. He holds the record for a U.S. military sniper, previously set at 93 by Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock during the Vietnam war.

With sorrow and regret , Gun-Zilla! would like to extend extreme condolences to the families of Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield .

Tracking Point and thier Precision Guided Firearm .

The story of TrackingPoint began in early 2009 when founder John McHale went on an African safari. He personally saw the challenge of moderate- to long-distance hunting while taking several challenging shots in Tanzania. One particularly difficult shot was a 350-yard attempt to hit a Thompson’s Gazelle, He had a chance at a shot, but it had just not been possible to factor in the range, ballistics, stability, and other factors in the time available to convert the information into a hit . With a strong background in technology McHale approached an engineering firm with the idea of making a prototype Precision Guided Firearm (PGF). The mission was to develop small arms tracking and fire control technology capable of making a 450-yard shot and hitting a target the size of a volleyball.

Engineer John Lupher led a prototype project, successfully building a tracking riflescope and demonstrating the power of the concept. In July 2010, the technology was advanced to the point of making reliable, sub-minute-of-angle shots at 1,000 yards. McHale was confident that the project would create a product that would revolutionize the shooting sports market.

In February 2011, McHale created TrackingPoint, an applied technology firm, to make the world’s first Precision Guided Firearms. John Lupher joined as the company’s chief technology officer (CTO).

The biggest cannon in the line-up is chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum and is fully capable of head-shots at 1,200 yards .

Be Afraid , Be Very Very Afraid .

This rifle was made to be idiot proof which means that any idiot or criminal organization or terrorist can instantly become a world class marksman/assassin , just think of it … a rifle that Darth Vader would have been proud of coupled with some crazy extremist behind the trigger .

Keep in mind that this is the Fred Flintstone version ! , what will this become in five years ? ten years ? . Couple this with some of the robotic breakthroughs and you have robot assassins , or worse … imagine Star Wars , Terminator and I robot all rolled into one happy little package .

This is the ultimate E.B.R. ( Evil Black Rifle ) and i am sure that the anti-gun freaks will scream at the top of thier lungs when they see it. The only safety feature is the price tag , a whopping $22,500.00 .

I may only be a simple monster with a shotgun but even i know that just because you can make it does not always mean that you should .
