Auto-Ordnance, a leader in American firearms manufacturing, today announced the release of the Wastelander Thompson, a custom-built firearm designed for the most rugged survivors of the post-apocalyptic landscape. Limited to a uniquely numbered series of 25 Thompsons, this exclusive carbine is a testament to resilience and a powerful tool for navigating the challenges of the new world as imaged by gamers, and fans of the latest in sci-fi television!

Crafted in collaboration with Koted Arms, the Wastelander Thompson embodies the spirit of survival with unique, battle-worn aesthetics and dependable functionality. Each Thompson tells a story of the wasteland through deep, laser-engraved markings that pay homage to fallen factions and the scars of a ravaged world. “In a world where only the strong survive, your equipment needs to be as unyielding as you are,” said a representative for Auto-Ordnance. “The Wastelander Thompson is more than just a firearm; it’s a symbol of perseverance, meticulously crafted for those who face the harsh realities of a post-apocalyptic new world in role playing games and fiction!”

Ready for The Apocalypse

The Wastelander Thompson boasts several unique features reflecting its rugged theme, including intricate, deep laser-engraved markings that depict the history and harsh realities of the wasteland. Its furniture, consisting of a walnut fixed stock and vertical foregrip, receives a unique plasma-cut treatment, giving it durability and a distinct, battle-hardened look. For sustained firepower, the Thompson includes sturdy steel magazines: one 50-round drum and one 20-round stick. It’s equipped with a handy and robust chain sling crafted from salvaged motorcycle chain, enhancing both utility and its rugged appearance. Adding an element of intrigue, each Wastelander Thompson also comes with a mystery item surprise for its owner, and a letter of authenticity certifying it as one of only 25 guns ever to be made.

Forged for over 80 hours with grit and ingenuity by the survivors at Koted Arms, every detail of the Wastelander Thompson, from the graphic designs to the rusted-out Cerakote finish, reflects the harsh realities of a post-apocalyptic world. The Wastelander Thompson is chambered in the hard-hitting .45 ACP, featuring a 16.5″ finned barrel that extends to 18.5″ with its compensator. Read more

Grand Island, NE – The Hornady® Dehumidifying Rod HD provides nearly double the protection of traditional dehumidifying rods. Powered by a standard 110V AC outlet, these rods utilize innovative heat-dispersing fins to maximize heat transfer without taking additional storage space or causing damage to nearby surfaces. This advanced design ensures consistent and efficient moisture reduction, keeping the interior of safes and cabinets dry.

Protecting firearms in a lockable safe or cabinet is a key step to guard against theft and ensure access is limited to trusted individuals. Even behind locked doors, the unseen threats of moisture, rust, rot, mildew, and mold jeopardize firearms security.

While regular cleaning and applying protective oils are important steps for maintaining firearms, these measures alone cannot prevent the harmful effects of humidity. Effective moisture control is essential to prolong the life of steel, wood, and other materials. Hornady developed the Dehumidifier Rod HD to protect valuables and firearms from the damaging effects of humidity.

Built to integrate with the Hornady Square Lok organizing system but easy to install in many other applications, the Dehumidifier Rod HD is offered in 18” for up to 200 cubic feet and 36” for up to 500 cubic feet.

Controlling humidity levels is critical for protecting valuables from moisture’s destructive effects. Hornady’s® Dehumidifier Rod HD lineup leads the industry with unmatched protection in a discrete form factor.

GENESEO, ILL. – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the launch of the Kuna™ 9mm pistol. Developed in partnership with HS Produkt, the roller-delayed Kuna is a precision-manufactured PDW designed for optimal fit and function. Its small profile, nimble handling and prolific capacity make it a fierce personal defense platform.

This distinctively engineered pistol is named after the European Pine Marten, known in Croatia as the Kuna. A formidable hunter, the Kuna holds the distinction of being the country’s national animal as well as lending its name to military units. In tribute to our manufacturing partners at HS Produkt in Croatia and that nation’s storied tradition of resilience and independence, the Kuna pistol represents the pinnacle of our shared mission and values.

At the heart of the Kuna lies a roller-delayed operating system, the pinnacle of durability and reliability. Employing a roller to temporarily lock the bolt into battery, the Kuna eliminates the need for a heavy bolt or gas system. By reducing reciprocating mass, it minimizes recoil and muzzle flip, giving you unmatched control — shot after shot.

The Kuna 9mm pistol employs a rugged monolithic aluminum upper with integral M-LOK slots, and the 6” barrel is cold radial hammer forged for strength and durability. The barrel utilizes a fixed design that minimizes movement and vibration during firing to enhance accuracy and shot-to-shot consistency. Finished in Melonite™, the barrel’s muzzle is 1/2×28 threaded and topped off with a multi-port brake. Read more
