The owners of a small Georgia farm took a tractor, a global positioning system and seven acres of corn and created a masterpiece made of maize last month honoring American sniper Chris Kyle.
Misty and Lamar Duren are the owners and operators of Corn Dawgs, an adventure park that includes a pumpkin patch, a petting zoo and a corn cannon that can blast an ear of corn at least 100 yards. And they also have a giant corn maze.

...Dual wielding done flamethrower style (VIDEO)
You can be afraid of clowns, thunder or $4 beard trimmers, but don’t fear the flamethrower– even when dual wielded.
The guys over at GY6vids got their flame retardant mitts on a matching pair of XM42 Flamethrowers from Ion Production Team. Legal in 48 states, they are perfectly safe if used properly as shown in this short video.
Just remember, whatever you do, don’t cross the beams! Oh wait, wrong video.

How much gun do you need to bring for a padlock? (VIDEO)
The DemolitionRanch team decided to break down the familiar movie trope of shooting off padlocks by doing some in-depth caliber testing.
Starting with a pile of boron steel padlocks mounted on a post about 15 yards away to keep those pesky ricochets away (don’t try this at home, kids) the Demo guys put a wallop on the locks with everything from .22s to 5.56 to one-ounce 12 gauge slugs.
Then they called in Mr. Barrett for a final opinion.
Ouch.

Obsession
In the original series of Star Trek, the episode “Obsession” presents the story of an otherworldly monster threatening the inhabited planets of the Federation. Captain Kirk believes this creature to be the same that attacked a ship on which he served as a lieutenant years before, killing that vessel’s captain and leaving emotional scars on Kirk. Spock and McCoy are concerned that their captain has an obsession about pursuing the alien monster. The episode echoes themes developed in Herman Melville’s Moby Dick.
...A closer look at the 10mm Glock carbine conversion (VIDEO)
Hickok45 goes loud with the hard-hitting 10mm Glock in a carbine conversion kit from MechTech.
The company’s CCU uppers, made for compact and full-sized Glocks among others, swap in after a basic field strip and give you both a few more inches to help generate extra velocity as well as a longer sight radius to help keep you on target at longer ranges.
And ol’Hick seems like he can stay on target just fine.
