From the things we don’t see everyday department are these designs which have been inspired by weapons. Although all of them are cool this one’s still a weapon (strictly for self defense) so it’s my fave:

With this umbrella accompanying your next rainy day walk to the office, that back alley mugger will think twice about asking for your pocket book.  The Birkiland Umbuster Umbrella is a deadly piece of protection against rain and agression alike.  If a raindrop or ne’er-do-well approaches, you can proudly say “Ask yourself, punk, do you feel lucky?”

Yeh, so i’m just direct linking to another site thats already done the work (hey, i photochopped a couple pics together :p), but its late, i gotta work tomorrow and we need something up here to prove at least one of the darkcold team is still alive!!

Check them out here

I cant wait to see these in real world use, either for law enforcement and/or eventually military use(they still have a long way to go, unless the gov’t isnt telling us something)

Number one looks awesome, i’m going to have a better look at all of these tomorrow night, maybe a future project you can watch me blow myself up with!!

Nah it ain’t from the future.. pretty limited at the moment but I’m impressed by the principle and how far things are coming along. One day it’ll happen.. one day!

In the future it won’t fire deadly projectiles however, but rather cupcakes and then we’ll have cupcakes and no more wars (yeah right :P). Click here to check it out, and be sure to check out the links on the left for more information and some videos I couldn’t watch because I refuse to install Quicktime.

EDIT: Thanks to hakhawk you can download the two videos here and here. I guess he hates Quicktime as well!

This I don’t know what to say WTF!

TIJUANA, Mexico - The police department has issued about 60 slingshots to officers in the violent border city of Tijuana, where soldiers confiscated police weapons two weeks ago on allegations of collusion with drug traffickers. Municipal police spokesman Fernando Bojorquez said Monday that the slingshots, along with bags of ballbearings, were given to officers patrolling areas of the city visited by tourists. Tijuana’s police force of 2,000 officers has been without guns since Jan. 5, but some patrol alongside armed state police.
