Supreme flashlights from Surefire

Friday, July 29, 2005

First noticed these watching news footage of US soldiers in Iraq on a night patrol. One of the GIs suddenly switch on the torch fixed to his rifle barrel and I marvelled at both the brightness and tightness of the beam. I presumed it was some sort of military grade torch that civilians could [...]
