In order to create some kind of protection for car owners, the folks at Range Rover have decided to add a new Vouge model that will be bulletproof.

With a code name such as “Range Rover Vogue Security Vehicle” this beast will have 4 different security levels:

• the first 3 are basic and offers protection from attack by hand-gun, assault rifle or high velocity rifle.
• while the fourth and last level is the special one that protects the jeep owners of higher caliber guns such as Kalashnikov AK47 rifles and other guns used specifically against political and diplomatic targets.

On all vehicles, the floor pan is protected to defeat the simultaneous detonation of two DM51 hand grenades rolled in its path. Improved protection to L2A2 hand grenade level is available as an option.

Another day and another USB drive has been presented, this time thanks to Verbatim and their Store ‘n’ Go models.

As the name suggests this “Corporate Secure” model is suppose to add security to your data, so instead of the normal plug-and-play system that all USB drives have and lets anyone access important files, the Verbatim Secure is different because:

Prompts a user periodically for a third password as an extra precaution. And after 10 unsuccessful attempts to log on, the drive is locked down.

There are models for companies that for an extra price get an unlocking system, and models for normal users that don’t have that opportunity to reset the password in case it gets lots in the memory valleys.

Price? Starts at $65 for 1GB but there are 2GB and 4GB versions too.

The Tommy Gun Rifle is suppose to be mocking the mafia times when people used a machine gun similar to the one on the picture. Times have passed and so has the technology got better, but that is not the case with the Tommy Rifle, in this old-school system you just need to load it with ammo and get ready for the fun part with 33 rubber bands to shoot.

The tommy gun is not supposed to be pointed at people or pets. They say it is intended for target shooting only, but I remember my childhood with BB guns and my targets being persons, sometimes friends.

With the slight pull of the trigger, the rubber bands shoot through the air, traveling impressive distances.

Price? $40

I have always wondered where the ninjas got their cool throwing stars, and now I know =] This one for example it’s called Air Sabre and in the description we can read – Not a Toy. Very Sharp. – which I consider to be a good thing.

It’s made of silver, has a 5-inch diameter, and comes with a small leather bag. For $7 bucks I consider the Air Sabre Throwing Start to be a good purchase for the wanna-be-ninjas and all the alike(s).

Amazon has the Robocop Gun on Pre-Order for $109.95, it will only become available on 1 of October – 2007.

I have one of the most interesting news today as you can see from the image, the 2-in-1 cellphone and gun device produced by Nokia and not announced anywhere else (besides here at gadgetizer) marks a new era, and the introduction of the M series – M stands for Macarena.

The Nokia M 6.750 was made specifically for South African people: being the top country in criminality rates and thinking about self-defense, Nokia gives the chance of shooting whoever tries to steal/rape/kill the bowers (slang for south africans).

Special features:

• It calls 911 at the same time you pull the trigger
• FM, AM and DM tuner
• Supports MP3, MP5, WAV and OGG
• Connects via Bluetooth, USB, BSU and UBS
• Two modes to make calls, either press the green button or pull the trigger – nice way to scare people

Sad part:
Bullets not included

The Nokia Macarena 6.750 will be available during the summer, so far the price is uknown.

PS – On a more serious note, the image looks like a product of Photoshop.
This post is a joke and not related with Nokia in any way.

Because of the increased risk of airborne fragmentation threats, resulting from improvised explosive devices, also known as IED’s, MTek has produced the Predator Facial Armor System Technology, or FAST for short. The FAST G1, was designed for use by vehicle mounted personnel, more specifically crew served weapons operators.

And if you’d like to see this super-cool looking gadget in action, here’s a link to some videos.

Here’s the skinny from Ryan Block over at Engadget:

We don’t think this is really what Levis had in mind when they said their denim was bullet-proof, but for as little as $880 you to can get a stock-looking Patrick Swayze Road House jacket with a level IIIA-rated bullet-proof lining, which will apparently even stop a shot from a .44 magnum. Which is good, because wearing a jacket like this is liable to get you shot.

Hey Ryan! I have the non-bullet proof version in my closet right now and wear it often. The ladies love it. I know that for a fact because they always grin and talk amongst themselves when I walk by… ok – buddy.

You too can become superhero gadgetizers like us for just $59.95. Here’s a snip from the product page at gadget Universe:

Zap a bolt of lightning into would-be muggers and rapists with this innocent-looking stun gun/flashlight.

Protect yourself! from suspicious-looking characters or would-be attackers with the Lightening Stun Gun. It’s designed to look exactly like a flashlight, but it gives shocking results with 80,000 volts. A blast of between one and three seconds will fell an attacker and result in mental disorientation.

I bet it would make a great bug zapper too.
