✨Back in Stock!!!✨

🗡️ But not for long!

The Royal Arsenal Han Dao by LK Chen is a near-exacting 1:1 reproduction of a classic Han military Dao; the original it is closely based on was recovered from the Chang Royal Arsenal and care was taken to ensure that this replica closely recreates the dimensions, weight and balance of the original. In the hand this sword is remarkably swift and fantastically easy to wield and its blade retains enough length and width to ensure it can cut and even thrust with great ability.

A drawing of an idea I discarded...

This idea had been inspired by the comic We3 and Lilo & Stitch. My idea was about a cat that was taken from its owners by the government, who had kidnapped other animals to raise them as military weapons. This kitten ended up becoming anthropomorphic and suffered various atrocities, from cruel tests and experiments, in addition to training hard to become the perfect weapon.

As the kitten was the one that demonstrated the greatest progress, the other animals were discarded as if they were mere objects. And so the cat became the military weapon that the government wanted, where he started to carry out several secret assassinations on behalf of the government, eliminating targets that in theory were very dangerous people who are considered a threat.

However, when the cat discovers that one of his targets is innocent, he begins to have an existential crisis about the goodness and value of life. Following this epiphany, he thinks he can no longer kill. Because of this, he abandons his mission and runs away, but is pursued by the government who wants to eliminate him, as he is living proof of the crimes the government committed.

At one point, the cat ended up losing his memory and was found by an 8-year-old girl. The little girl lives with her parents who are divorcing, where she does not accept their divorce, blaming her father for it. The focus of the idea was the friendship between the little girl and the cat, where in addition to being persecuted by the government, he tries to gradually recover his memory.

This idea was intended to make a strong criticism against tests and experiments on animals, which are forced to be subjected to these barbaric acts, whether to create perfumes, shampoos or something like that. This drawing I made is kind of a ref sheet of the protagonist of this idea that I discarded a while ago, dunno. This drawing took a lot of work to make the sketches, but it was worth trying.

To draw the cat's outfit, I was inspired by Leon S. Kennedy's clothes from Resident Evil 2. However, to draw the sheath (a "pocket" to store his knife), I was inspired by Claire Redfield's sheath from Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.

Detail: The cat's claws are made of razors, that is, the government guys simply ripped out his claws to replace them with fake claws (implying that he also killed his targets with these claws and teeth).

Um desenho de uma ideia que descartei.

Essa ideia havia sido inspirada na HQ We3 e no filme Lilo & Stitch. A minha ideia era sobre um gato que foi tirado de seus donos pelo governo, que havia sequestrado outros animais para criá-los como armas militares. Esse gatinho acabou se tornando antropomórfico e sofreu várias barbaridades, desde a testes e experimentos cruéis, além de treinar arduamente para se tornar a arma perfeita.

Como o gatinho foi o que demonstrou maior avanço, os outros animais foram descartados como se fossem meros objetos. E assim o gato se tornou a arma militar que o governo queria, onde ele passou a realizar vários assassinatos secretos em nome do governo, eliminando alvos que na teoria eram pessoas muito perigosas que são considerados ameaça.

Porém, quando o gato descobre que um de seus alvos é inocente, ele começa a ter uma crise existencial sobre a bondade e o valor da vida. Seguindo essa epifania, ele acha que não pode mais matar. Por causa disso, ele abandona sua missão e foge, mas é perseguido pelo governo que quer eliminá-lo, já que ele é a prova viva dos crimes que o governo cometeu.

Em um dado momento, o gato acabou perdendo a memória e é encontrado por uma garotinha de 8 anos. A garotinha vive com seus pais que estão se divorciando, onde ela não aceita o divórcio deles, no qual culpa o pai dela por isso. O foco da ideia era a amizade entre a garotinha e o gato, onde além de ser perseguido pelo governo, ele tenta recuperar sua memória aos poucos.

Essa ideia tinha como proposta fazer uma crítica foda contra testes e experimentos aos animais, que são forçados a serem submetidos a essas barbaridades, seja pra criar perfumes, shampoos ou algo do tipo. Esse desenho que fiz é meio que uma ref sheet do protagonista dessa ideia que descartei um tempo atrás, sei lá. Esse desenho deu muito trabalho pra fazer os esboços, mas valeu a pena tentar.

Pra desenhar a roupa do gato, eu havia me inspirado nas roupas do Leon S. Kennedy do Resident Evil 2. Porém, pra desenhar a bainha (um "bolso" pra guardar sua faca), eu havia me inspirado na bainha de Claire Redfield de Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.

Detalhe: As garras do gato são feitas de navalha, ou seja, os caras do governo simplesmente arrancaram as garras dele para substituí-las por garras falsas (dando a entender que ele também matava seus alvos com essas garras e seus dentes).

CNN — Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold an operational meeting of his Security Council on Monday, just two days after a massive explosion on a key strategic bridge linking Crimea and Russia.

Seemingly the FBI didn't consider that an outfit that had stockpiled military-grade weapons and military-issue food rations might possibly have also stockpiled gas masks, but live and learn, right?

We need to take away their guns

Lucian K. Truscott IV

Forget the wishy-washy stuff, Democrats. Forget all the mealy-mouthed talk about “common sense” laws on background checks. Forget all the talk about gun safety and gun control.

Forget assuring the gun owners that we’re not after their guns. Taking dangerous weapons of war off the street is the only thing that will work. We’ve got to push for a ban on semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15 used in the last two mass killings in Buffalo and Uvalde and so many others, and a ban on the kind of semiautomatic handgun used to wound Gabby Giffords and kill six other people, including a federal judge, outside a Safeway store in Arizona in 2011. That guy used a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun with a magazine that carried 33 rounds, so let’s throw in these unnecessarily gigantic magazines while we’re at it. Don’t ban so-called high capacity magazines and allow the ones that carry 10 rounds. Ban them down to five rounds, and fuck anybody who says he needs more bullets than that when he goes to the range to shoot targets or wants to go out in the woods and shoot at animals.

We’ve already got federal laws on the books against owning automatic weapons like the Uzi submachine gun or the military-spec M-4 used by today’s army, both of which are capable of full-automatic fire. So far, at least, the Supreme Court hasn’t found a constitutional right to own an automatic weapon in the words of the Second Amendment, which everyone is fond of pointing out was written when muskets and flintlock pistols were all the rage.

So why can’t we ban semiautomatic weapons as well? As I wrote a few days ago, one of these AR-15’s is capable of firing two to three rounds a second and between 130 and 150 rounds a minute, even when accounting for reloading magazines. That is way too many bullets coming out of the barrel of any weapon that should be in the hands of civilians. When I was writing about being trained to fire the M-16 many decades ago, I forgot to mention that in the three weeks we spent on the weapon, we probably fired it on full-automatic for a grand total of five minutes. Why? Because all the thing does is spray bullets in a direction away from you. It’s impossible to aim any weapon and fire it with any degree of accuracy in full-automatic operation. That’s why we spent days on the shooting range firing one bullet at a time. That’s the way you hit something.

So forget all this talk about compromising on so-called gun control measures. We need to get weapons of war out of the hands of civilians, and if that means some kind of expensive “buy-back” program, so be it. Buy the damn things back, and if they won’t sell them, then ban their use on firing ranges and for hunting, and if the police stop someone and find an AR-15 in their possession, give them the legal power to confiscate it.

The 18-year-old in Uvalde walked into a classroom in an elementary school and shot 19 children who were only eight to ten years old and killed them, and he killed their teachers, too, and he used an AR-15 semiautomatic weapon to do it.

Never again. Ban them. Buy them back. Confiscate them. Throw them into forges and melt them down. Tell the NRA to sit on it and rotate.

We’re better than this.

AR-15's Versus Viagra

(First published in the Johnson City Press, Tennessee, 12 August 23) My name is Michael (Gene) Scott, and I am a retired teacher who grew up on a farm in the Midwest in the 1960s. A smooth-bore musket that fed past generations of my family — James Scott arrived from Scotland and settled in Pennsylvania in 1774 — hangs proudly above my writing desk. Smooth-bore Musket I’m a lifelong gun owner…

First introduced in 1827, this sword was carried by the Navy through a whole host of conflicts to today. Adopted by every other Commonwealth navy that was part of the British Empire it is Indeed likely this sword even found its way into the hands of the officers of the Confederate Navy during the American Civil War. This beautiful sword is made in the gothic style with some harkening back to Nelson’s times with the lion’s head pommel/back strap.
