The Rifle Umbrella is probably not the best umbrella to walk into a bank with, but it will keep you dry during a downpour.

With its tip shaped like a rifle barrel and its handle like a rifle’s butt, you may come off as a crazy loony psychopath preparing for a shooting rampage. It’s available from Brando in two sizes for $19 or $28.

While the idea may be great for those with one dog, having multiple dogs may pose a problem.

I personally have a set of rain jackets for all 3 of my pouches. Not only would it be impossible to walk all three of them at the same time with its 29-inches in diameter, it would look absolutely ridiculous.

Now if somebody could only come up with a pair of booties for their paws, so they don’t track mud all over the house after every walk.

The 8-gauge clear polypropylene coating that sheds rain, sleet, and snow while allowing an unfettered view of your walking companion is available now for $29.95.

First with the Smart Bullet, then the military’s deadliest drone (X-47B) and soon it will be raining hell upon them with ATK’s GPS guided mortars.

The US Army is pushing to get precision mortars developed and deployed to the field in Afghanistan as soon as possible. ATK explains that its Mortar Guidance Kit converts mortar bodies into precision mortar rounds by replacing standard fuses in the mortar’s fuse well with a guidance kit.

Mortars are lighter and can be towed by a HMMWV or MRAP, or carried and fired from inside M113 or Stryker APCs, making them easier to deploy than heavier cannon artillery.

Check out this video of ATK’s GPS guidance kit for mortars, which was developed under a program called the Accelerated Precision Mortar Initiative and is designed to give each round  a 10 meter CEP accuracy at ranges of up to 11 miles.

Do you want t jump into the ocean while still being able listen to tunes?

H20 Audio says it’s now possible with the unveiling of Flex All Sport Buds, a new line of waterproof and sweat proof headphones that retail for a more budget-friendly price.

The buds are not intended for deep underwater diving, however, H20 claims them to be perfect for splashing about, as they are 100% waterproof up to 1 meter (3 feet). I am not sure who would actually take their music device swimming with them; perhaps they are better suited for a jog in the rain.

All four choices, Power Pink, Envy Green, Onyx Black and Super Hero Blue are available now for $29.99.
