Groinstrike Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 We should start looking into patents and copyrights, and yes im serious.To avoid having to make a deal with Maglite, you'll probably have to build your own flashlight.That may be our best option however. By making a deal with Maglite, we would be giving our product name recognition and the quality that comes with maglite.

Teaming with maglite would still make us rich - although my standards aren't all that high. Bu rich, I mean anything more than $250. "A gun is a tool.

Groinstrike Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Liverpunch, wondered if you could give us an update on the Smashlite???(Smashlite is a registered trademark of Bujin Industries.

Violation of this trademark and copyright will result in a unfortunate "accident" involving a fire escape)
MasterPain Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 So, I worked security at an art festival tonight. Being surrounded by peace-loving hippies, painters and musicians, my maglite felt terribly inadequate. If I manage to get more of these jobs, the smashlite attachment would be a great investment. Any idea what they cost yet?Actually, Brian and I did have to break up a fight between a band guy and a roadie. Verbal de-escalation FTW. Other than that just a lot of "You can't bring your drinks in or out."Tallgeese, does standing behind someone who is talking to your buddy count as positional dominance? I think it does. Might be something to add to your thread. My fists bleed death. -Akuma
Liver Punch Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 We're currently waiting on a steel ball to get here. I'm dealing with the Chinese on this part of it, so it's slightly difficult/amusing. It's coming from some factory in rural China that seems to have an X in place of every vowel that would make it an otherwise pronounceable name. Anyhow, once it makes it here, it will have a week or two at the machine shop, and then it'll be back to me as a (hopefully) working prototype. The steel ball is a pretty inexpensive investment (aside from shipping), so if I can locate an American company in the Midwest that has what I need...machine shop work on it shouldn't cost that much. We should know more by the end of this week. "A gun is a tool. Like a butcher knife or a harpoon, or uhh... an alligator."― Homer, The Simpsons

I can just imagine MP getting into suplex position as some rowdy patron is being distracted by Bryan explaining how to properly apply a texas cloverleaf in an mma match.
MasterPain Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Most accurate assessment ever.Not even joking. My fists bleed death. -Akuma
Liver Punch Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 The Chinese sent me a glass ball. 3 inches of solid glass sphere. This is not what I had in mind. I've sent out an email to 5 or 6 American companies, we'll see what sort of responses I get.Also, in my "smashlite" downtime I've been working on a free shotgun. Because it was free, you can imagine the condition it was in. I sawed the barrel down to a very short (but still legal) length, stripped and re-blued all of the metal, and am currently looking for a buttstock. Once it's cut to a smaller size and installed, I'll have a perfect zombie gun. "A gun is a tool. Like a butcher knife or a harpoon, or uhh... an alligator."― Homer, The Simpsons
Brutus Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Made my own bokken, Two lengths (1m, 1.5m) as well as a practice knife. I'm currently working on a small forge which is taking me ages to do (it's exensive and hard to build... And I procrastinate loads) but should allow me to make proper weapons (although I will have to explore the relevant legislation beforehand, obviously...).
