Ok folks. After returning from the USA I made some time to make these two 10 minute videos on my Viridian X5L universal green laser/tactical light combo sight. It’s shows the unit itself, how to operate it and how to mount it on my Heckler & Koch P30L. Can’t wait to take it to the range next week!
Apocalypse 2010
In 2007 I blogged about the Large Hadron Collider after seeing a great documentary about it by the BBC. For those who do not know what the Large hadron Collider is: it’s an experiment in which scientist try to recreate the circumstances surrounding the Big Bang to see if they can isolate the so-called “God particle” that gives this universe it’s shape. I have also blogged about the somewhat myhtical year 2012 when some people predict the world as we know it, will end. So what about the 2010 then? Well, a lot of doomsday predictions involve the LHC. Some people […]

Excepted from the new policy are pregnant women, people who have a lowered immune system and […]
Going green
In case you’re wondering about the blog title: don’t worry, I have not turned into some eco-friendly, sandal wearing tree-hugger. No, I’m referring to something I ordered online this weekend: a Viridian 5XL tactical green laser/light sight. It is going to be a nice add-on for my H&K P30L that I bought about a month ago. For all purpose and intent it’s not practical in any way. In Holland you can’t own a gun for self-defense (unlike the US), so you can only use it at the range. And – maybe apart from action-shooting – there are no real competitions […]
