Bushmaster BA50
The Bushmaster BA50: where incredible power meets long-range accuracy.
The ultimate long-range target rifle, the bolt-action Bushmaster BA50 harnesses the legendary force of the 50-caliber Browning machine gun cartridge and delivers it downrange with hair-splitting precision. It's tuned for long-range accuracy with a free-floating barrel. Rearward force is dramatically reduced through the high-efficiency AAC Cyclops recoil-reducing brake, which also allows mounting of the AAC Cyclops .50 cal suppressor. In fact, it exhibits recoil similar to a 243 Winchester.
The Bushmaster BA50 features a unique left hand throw bolt and a right hand port. Combine that with a detachable 10-round box magazine and you have unequalled speed in cycling 50 caliber action. The BA50 comes standard equipped with folding leg steel bipods, and the rifle is easily disassembled for cleaning like standard AR-15 rifles. The Magpul PRS buttstock is fully adjustable, with a shock-absorbing LimbSaver recoil pad for enhanced comfort. The BA50 is built to Bushmaster's unsurpassed standards for durability and quality control. If the range can be measured in miles and your groups in fractions of an inch, your rifle is a Bushmaster BA50: the ultimate long-distance target rifle for the range. Shipped in a Storm hard case, with operator's safety manual and two 10 round magazines and includes a one year Bushmaster warranty.

Do you know the story of Ben Wilson?
Wilson earned a Medal of Honor, a Purple Heart, and the Distinguished Service Cross during his time in the military.
He served in WWII and the Korean War, rising to the rank of First Sergeant.
At "Hell Hill" near Hwacheon Dam in Korea, he continued fighting while his men retreated from North Korean counterattack.
Losing his rifle in the fighting, he took out his entrenching tool...
...and killed 4 MEN with the sharpened edge of the shovel!
The military has long recognized just how effective this weapon can be, but not as a shovel by itself.
Instead, in their combatives manuals through the years, they've just listed it as one of many objects you an use to fight with the SAME WAY.
In other words, it's not that the military ever saw the e-tool as a "primary close quarters weapon."
But they DID understand that guns jam... break... and run out of bullets.
When that happens, you NEED a backup weapon that will keep you alive while destroying the enemy.
The military also understood that soldiers need TRAINING to use weapons.
That could be your "body weapons" (a.k.a. "close-quarters combatives")... your bayonet knife... or even your frickin' SHOVEL.

Guns
The Glock 48 is basically a newer version of the flagship 19, but a tad more modern.
The Glock 19 is by far Glock’s most popular handgun by far… but many have been asking for a single-stack/ slimmer 9mm for a while, and it has arrived.

There are mixed reviews on the Glock 19 thus far- some like the 43x a little better because it seems to be more palatable as a CCW.
From the manufacturer:
The G48 in caliber 9mm Luger is of similar length and height as the G19 but the width of the pistol is reduced for increased concealability and high carrying comfort. The magazine capacity of the slim 01 magazine of the G48 is 10 rounds. It comes with a silver colored nPVD coated slide with front serrations.

Controversial Colorado gun bill becomes law, 11 sheriffs willing to choose jail over enforcement
Colorado's controversial "red flag" bill was signed into law by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis on Friday, with more than half of the state's counties declaring opposition to it and many sheriffs promising not to enforce it at all.
"This is a moment of progress," said Colorado House Majority Leader Alec Garnett, one of the legislation's four sponsors. "Today, we did something that was difficult and that is going to save lives."
Known as the "Extreme Risk Protection Order," the law will allow a family member, a roommate or law enforcement to petition a judge to temporarily seize a person's firearms if they are deemed a risk to themselves or others. Fourteen other states have passed similar legislation.
Still, the law now faces major hurdles, with a pro-gun lobby group promising to challenge it in court. Additionally, a growing number of sheriffs in the state have vowed to ignore the law when it takes effect next year, calling it unconstitutional.
Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams told CNN last month that he would rather be found in contempt of court and locked up in his own county jail than carry out a court order to seize a person's weapon.
At least 10 other sheriffs contacted by CNN are lining up behind Reams, saying they are prepared to go to jail rather than enforce a law they believe would violate a person's constitutional rights.
"How many judges are going to send all the sheriffs in Colorado who are standing up to this to jail?" wondered Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell, who is among the sheriffs willing to choose jail over enforcement.
Garnett said he wasn't concerned about sheriffs being locked up.
"What I'm going to lose sleep over is, if that's the choice that they make, and someone loses their life, someone in crisis goes on a shooting spree, (or) someone commits suicide" because a gun wasn't taken away, he said.
Already, 38 of Colorado's 64 counties have officially declared their opposition to the bill, and 35 of them have passed formal resolutions against the law. Many of the resolutions declare the jurisdictions to be Second Amendment "sanctuary" or "preservation" counties, and pledge not to allocate resources to enforcement of the law.
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser he is "confident that when and if the time comes, all law enforcement officials will follow the rule of law."
Reams insists he's not bluffing. So does Prowers County Sheriff Sam Zordel.
"I've already asked the coroner if he wanted to come over (to the jail) and get some training," he said, explaining that if he becomes an inmate, the coroner would be tasked with running the county jail.
Others took a more measured approach.
"I'm willing to go to my jail for it, the only exception would be a totally extreme case and most sheriffs would agree with that," said Park County Sheriff Tom McGraw.
The law is meant to be used only in the most extreme cases, but critics believe it will allow for guns to be taken based on a false accusation. A non-partisan analysis of the bill by Colorado's Legislative Council Staff predicted that the number of false red flag petitions would be minimal, and that the law would only be used 170 times per year.
California and Washington use similar red flag laws even less than that, though a similar law in Maryland is enforced six times more often than the Colorado estimate.
