    The Malkoff M61!

    Re: when will Malkoff update their dropins? Trying to help my uncle build a weaponlight for his Benelli I was going to tell him to go ahead and pick up an M60 but maybe he should wait a month or two :popcorn: Not to mention I am in need of two M60's myself cant wait for an XP-G!!!

    "One Second After"

    Another thing that was brought up on a different forum about an EMP effect is safes with electronic locks and no mechanical backup. If an EMP hits you will likely need many of the items that you keep stored in your safe and may not be able to access (for the sake of keeping this thread alive I...

    "One Second After"

    You are correct! Larger faraday rooms should be grounded but smaller stuff doesn't need to. I have done another hour of reading on EMP and I now understand why you dont* ground a smaller faraday cage. When an EMP hits the grounding wire is actually more likely to act as an antenna to attract...

    "One Second After"

    I dont know why people are saying that cars are EMP proof or saying they are a faraday cage (Last time I checked I make and receive calls in my car all day long) I also dont know why people are saying modern electronics would be unaffected :thinking:...:ohgeez: EMP's havent changed since the...

    My sentiments exactly!!! Last time I checked I had a hard time getting my fiancee to carry a single cell pocket rocket in her purse. I can barely get her to carry a 2 cell G2Z on night walks! How on earth do I convince her she needs a $400ish 3 cell 8 inch long 3 inch wide light in her purse!?

    Hmm maybe they're just updating the P60L to a more efficient emitter?

    Your crappiest flashlight

    Ohh man uhhh, probably my "army navy" m@g lookalike. If I still had any of them I would have to say one of those $4 wally world "spotlights" that uses the huge 9V batteries that cost more than the light itself and have about a 20 minute runtime.

    What Information is officially "Known" About the Maelstrom

    Re: The Quark Maelstrom Series thread! Yep so I want an S1800, an s1200, and a G500. I know the Regular Maelstroms were supposed to be right around $100 but I wonder how much the 1200 and 1800 will be? Looks like a contender for my new favorite camping light!!!

    I do like the Stratum. Looks like there is already an MSRP on the Z2 lookalike $180.

    Which is better, Led flashlight with diffuser or a LED lantern.

    Well a lantern cant become a spot light but a handheld spot can become an area light with a diffuser. So I am gonna have to go with an LED handheld and a diffuser. My favorite for that purpose so far is my Surefire LX2 with an F04 diffuser.

    Wooooooowwww AA Surefire? Did hell just freeze over? I'm not a big fan of 2xAA lights but I am glad to see Surefire experimenting in a new territory! Might buy one for pops if it ever comes to light. Now who can get me a 2010 catalog :devil::nana:
