The Tac Sac

[NoBanStan]

What do you guys think? Should we request David to get a TGO branded set? I know it's a ballsy request.

Yes I know I am still a child but that is funny.

So... no joke... I did a prototype of something very similar back in 2008 or so.  Called it the Tac Sac.  Made it out of a pic-rail sling swivel and a keychain size pair of "truck nuts".   I made the mistake of showing it to a few people, one of whom claims it was his idea now.

Back then my wife and I thought about patenting it but I [foolishly] decided that it probably wasn't going to generate enough money to be worthwhile so I dropped it.   I'll see if I can dig up the old photos and stuff I did of the prototypes and post them here because I'm sure this sounds fairly far fetched.

At least my Tac Sac dangled.

Found 'em... uploading to SmugMug.  Will post in a sec.

Looking at the EXIF info on those photos it was 2009.  EXIF info is intact if anyone doubts.

You didn't invent it. Liberals have been talking about gun nuts forever. Hell, I thought they were talking about me.

Something similar has happened to me twice now with ideas I had. Irritating I know

[Wingshooter]

So is that thing considered a vertical fore-grip?

I have had several reminders lately of why you don't tell anyone, even friends, about ideas that could lead to making money.  Hindsight sucks like that.

Maybe you could come out with a mold your own set..

[gjohnsoniv]

This is starting to blur the line between "this is my rifle, this is my gun." Not sure how I feel about that.

Not just an "A" cup but an "A-R15" cup, lol

A set of gun nuts! Not my thing but funny.

[BigK]

I'm sure they'll sell dozens of these things.

I bet people said the same thing the first time they seen truck nuts.

I see these on a fairly regular basis. I can say definitively that they are NOT usually the hallmark of a successful man.

I don't know why, but "hallmark of a successful man" in a discussion about plastic nutsacks has me laughing uncontrollably.

So if they were molded from someone else as a reference point....are you technically holding someone else's balls while you operate?

Likewise, the image of your average gun guy wanting to fondle a black plastic nutsack when he shoots makes me wanna LMFAO.

[gregintenn]

I'm thinking this would make good fodder for a South Park episode.
