    The BMF Activator

     

    Upon my recent reflection of the 80’s survivalist movement I scoured my memories for all the different firearms and survival equipment available at the time and remembered a unique device – the BMF Activator. From my recollection it was primarily intended for .22lr semi-auto’s – especially the Ruger 10/22. Attached to the trigger guard each rotation of the crank would cause the gun to fire four times. This essentially provided a feeling similar to that of firing a fully automatic firearm.

    I had figured the BMF was nothing but a relic from the past but this is not the case. It is in fact still available at least from a few dealers.

    Here is a demonstration video:

    Looks fun, huh? 

    I’ve watched a lot of video’s on YouTube which display some serious safety issues as people fire from the hip and who knows where the rounds are going. Regardless – there could be some applications where the BMF Activator could be a combat multiplier.

    Might pick one up and try it out. At a minimum it’ll be fun.

    I continue to put together a survival library that will be second to none. The goal here is to have everything on a large flash drive – possibly 128 gigabytes. Insert the USB drive into a laptop and a menu will pop up. Super easy to use and accessing all the information will be a breeze. Well – that is the goal.

    Most everything will be PDF – plus lots of video’s. The drive should also work on a Windows-based tablet as long as there is a USB port available.

    For some reason been thinking a lot about survival back in the 80’s. I remember certain products, magazines, books, and guns that were popular back then. For those old enough to have been into preparedness back in the 80’s there were some pretty cool stuff back then. This was all before the Internet and folks were fairly sure who the enemy was – the Soviet Union.

    Think I’ll write up an article about 80’s survivalism.

    Until then here is a sampling from the 80’s:
