Is this an actual thing anyone has ever used?

boomer marketing
If you attach this to YOUR GUN then HOT IDF CHICKS will show up at YOUR HOUSE

UMMMM hwat is that basketball hoop doing in the background?
israelites... like basketball? (All the ones I've known were big basketball fans.)
They are definitely fans of Basketball Americans.
Some may be fans of basketball itself.
But don't kid yourself there are almost no israeli basketball players relative to the rest of the basketball player demographics.
I could see using it in the last 3 days you spend in Afghanistan as you figure out which humvees are not getting flown out of the airbase ever. I struggle to imagine a second use case
Thats dumb as shit, a flat fucking tire wow you really crippled them jayden, you should go to west point, teach em some tactics
Imagine the IDF's primary function. They probably use it to deflate tires while dealing with rock throwers to prevent what ever parked vehicles present from being moved. They cannot deflate the tires with a gunshot as that would escalate whatever is happening there.
Bayonet.
Deflating tires does not prevent driving the vehicle. Why would you imagine it does? It interferes with driving them at speed not that it would matter in dense urban areas. If you want to disable a vehicle, destroy it. That stupid tool is a placebo for wrenchlets.
t.mechanic who drove plenty of scrap cars on flats to move them around the lot.
Anon, disabling tires for hundreds of vehicles requires replacement for hundredsx4 tires for them to operate. That isn't a minor inconvenience for anyone that doesn't have oodles of money.
>$179
Yeah I bet it is sold in Israel.
I'll bet a .22 caliber hole would deflate the tire somewhat slower too
More than you think. You can disable a vehicle that you're in the process of searching at a checkpoint/border crossing without lighting it or the potentially valuable people inside up.
Considering the Israeli military is conscripts against civilian type material, it's entirely possible they genuinely use and issue unusual pieces of equipment like this. If you regularly stab tires maybe this makes sense. Important to consider the IDF sees more riot control than fire fights.
This is without a doubt the stupidest gun related tool I have ever seen.
damn if only the device this stupid bullshit is attached to had the ability to deflate tires on its own we wouldn't need this
damn if only opening fire might not be the greatest idea in every situation you absolute fucking retard.
dawg, you have to "open fire" to use the device as intended you mutt
You're kidding right? You just it to poke tires, like a bayonet. You're joking?
Anon please tell us how you think this thing works
You could make a muzzle break that does the same thing without having to fire a round tho
Just make it pointed
Or use a bayonet with a relief cut in it for the air to flow past
Nice get, but it is a muzzle break of a kind per the description.
Yea but why not have something multi-functional instead of extremely niche
Like a bayonet not only can pop tires fast, But it can stab a dude, And many work as wire cutters and a knife is a super useful tool as well
Just seems like a dumb idea to me.
Easier for IDF conscripts to use. They don't exactly have a professional military/police force.
Not that anon but figuring out how to use a bayonet isn't that difficult. I do see the advantage of this in terms of being able to go through any side of the tire though without as much effort.
I see more issue with a reservist having this on their short m16 and stabbing themselves through the femoral artery when they try to job with their rifle slung
And also just armorers having to take these on and off constantly wouldn't make sense.
I wouldn't want to run it 24/7
Just have them on a few "For riot use" rifles instead of all of them anon. And that doesn't look sharp enough to go through on casual contact with skin unless they're dumb enough and put pressure on it.
I mean stabbing a tire is one thing, actually going deep enough to deflate it is another, which is what I could see happening when some idiot goes at it from the treads rather than the sides
>stabbing themselves through the femoral artery
Did they allow you to have scissors in school anon?
Pretty sure bootcamp consists of soldiers already stabbing tires with a bayonet too lol
It's a lot easier to pull rubber valve stems with pliers (visegrips even better) or snap the metal sort.
>operator
the whole larping community has ruined this word, and tactical.
I swear those used to be $30s alongside the screw on golf or soda can launchers
Is this something they sell to non-military tactical teams (i.e. federal agencies) who want to use bayonets without looking like they're using bayonets?
am i retarded or does it clamp on OVER a birdcage, rather than being its own muzzle device?
also
>captcja: JJOOO
Fits over with a collar
>completely nullify the benefits of a flash hider
>don't even get a knife for utility like you would with a bayonet
Has bayonet lug
Uses gay muzzle device instead
Why tho
