H & K P30 electronic air soft pistol

Its Gid again and I’m talkin’ about the P30 electronic air soft pistol

My friends and I play air soft every weekend. We love it we have a bunch of different guns: electronic, and spring, we are trying to add gas. There are 3 main types electronic spring and gas there are many different types under those categories like pistol, S.M.G (sub machine gun), rifle, sniper rifle, and mini gun the types are endless. Now the upsides to this gun are plentiful but I’ll only use some. The P30 can be full auto and semi auto. Semi auto is more accurate and strong. Full auto you shoot faster and have a better chance on hitting the target. This pistol is a blow back pistol. Which means it cocks its self when it shoots. Instead of constantly cocking the gun. It also has an accessory bar on the front bottom of the gun. My friends and I mount a grip on it. Which helps you steady your aim just a little bit. Electronic pistols are also hard to find at a low price that are actually good, just hard to find altogether. Now we have to see a few down sides. The magazine is only16 pellets. Which fly by on full auto. Sometimes you need to use full auto. Some times if you shoot on semi the first shot wont shoot out, but will come out the second time I guess it just needs to warm up. When it shoots on semi or full it still jolts your arm because of the blowback. Now for my rating I give it a 10 out of 10. It’s so awesome.

Shop you an airsoft gun, y’all. Perfect for home defense… against squirrels.

Click on the gun.

Hello its me, Gid. I’m back with another product review, and I’m lovin’ it.

This time its about paintball. Paintball is a sport where you get a co2 canister, gun and a hopper put ‘em together and shoot at each other.

If you can remember the M*A*S*H photos of my birthday party (see them HERE) you can see the center of this review-my paintball vest. I got this vest off of www.paintball-online.com. I like the site. It’s orderly, and you can find what you need very easily. The vest comes in two colors: green camo, and blue. I’m a big camo fan, so you know what I got. The vest is pretty good. I was sitting in the dead box, and all of a sudden this random paintball came flying at me, and hit me in the chest. I didn’t feel a thing. So it works. But there are a few downsides; like the fabric covering at the edges of the air holes started to fray and come off, but really didn’t come off too much. On the site it says the chest and back protector is “semi-hard”. I was expecting some thing like stiff plastic, but it’s more flexible than that. You can still feel a little pain when you get shot I guess – in my case, I wasn’t any farther from the battle than the benches in the dead box.

You can also use this as a chest protector for air soft.

All together I rate this as 9 out of 10. Happy paintballing!

Jeff Outdoors-

The man abuses outdoor gear, so you don’t have to

You’ve heard of Sherlock Holmes’ smarter brother, yeah? They’ve even written him into some of the new spate of TV shows about Holmes.

I have a brother, and he’s smarter than me. That’s not hard. Nor is it hard to be more outdoorsy than me. I don’t yet own a solar panel to recharge my laptop while in the forest, so I have not yet drawn a Hubris cartoon and updated from a nice campsite in Yellowstone. Yet.

Jeff Cravens is far more intrepid and cool than I’ll ever be and I’m here to write a wrong brought on by my own laziness and general digital ineptitude.

Since the beginning of this site, Jeff’s been contributing cool articles about outdoorsy stuff, and I have never taken the time to work out how to make him an administrator so that the little thing at the top of the articles said that they were from him.

But I’m nearly caught up on most of my work today, so I went back into WordPress, which is amazingly easy to work with, and I completely screwed things up until I got my beloved brother whom I’m terminally jealous of signed in as an administrator. Then I went back and attributed his articles to him- the way it should have been done since, get this, NOVEMBER 2010! That’s right. Next month, Hubriscomics.com is 2 years old.

And Jeff is only now getting a little recognition.

Go check him out (or his hilarious writing, anyhow) HERE. Admire him. I do.

Remember books?

Remember books? I sure do. Three of my studio walls are windows- almost nothing but windows, and so there’s some issue about where I would put the hundreds of books (mostly about cartooning or cartoons). Eventually, I put up a shelf that runs all around the three walls just above the windows. I had to reinforce the anchors and eventually just had to add braces all down the shelves because of the weight. Books are good for weight.

Kindle, nook and iPad are good for weight but in the opposite sense. A lightweight Kindle is a good thing that bespeaks of quality. A lightweight book- not so much. It bespeaks cheap paper or brevity or not-enough-for-your-money.

Then there’s these here books that have cartoons in them. Someday, you’ll only get The Buckets and Hubris in your electronic media, and trees everywhere will breathe a sigh of relief. Until then, though, you can get the heft and fun of owning, in the real world, a book full of cartoons. You can order The Buckets HERE and Hubris HERE.

And I apologize for slappin’ you with an ad for books here where I occasionally try to entertain you with photos of intrepidness or foolishness or both. On the other hand, you need another book or two while they still exist.
