    …with professional-grade tactical gear.
    The gear includes firearms, ballistic full-body armor, flash bangs and smoke grenades, tear gas…

    Where the fuck are you sourcing explosives and tear gas as a civilian, and more importantly…
    Where can I get some? Purely for home defense, of course. Definitely not wanting it for defrost purposes.

      Plus points for “defrosting” there, very nicely put.

        It would seem contrary to known physics, but tear gas actually makes frozen water whine like little bitches. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Totally legal, all of that. The grenades require a $200 DD stamp each (don’t think the smokes do, unsure about tear gas - I know I bought smoke grenades for airsoft all the time back when I played), but everything there is totally legal from your local gun show or Bubba.

            I would wager much of the “tacti-cool” market stuff to not perform.

            I’m not an expert.
