Dueling is a favorite pass time of mine but if you’re going to do it, you’ve got to be prepared. That’s why I wear one of these bulletproof handkerchiefs everywhere I go. Some mother fucker slaps me and challenges me to a duel, you bet your ass we’re meeting before sun down at the town square. Little does my opponent know that I’m equipped with the best booger protection in town.

Subtle and modest, it’ll also stop a bullet aimed at my heart. We’re talking military grade Kevlar, my friends. When it comes down to a life or death gun duel, you can’t settle for the cheap stuff.

Colombian fashion designer Miguel Caballero has been described as the “Armani of bulletproof clothing.” Caballero, pictured above with action movie star and guitar enthusiast Steven Seagal modeling one of his leather jackets, makes ultra-lightweight bulletproof gear using a top secret material. Though Caballero won’t reveal exactly how he makes the lining in his high security duds, he says it involves flexible plastics that are supposedly much more effective at repelling gunfire than old-fashioned kevlar.

Caballero’s bulletproof jackets come in leather and nylon varieties for both men and women. They also come in a variety of colors including orange and bright red that I can’t imagine anyone who was concerned about getting shot would be caught dead wearing. or maybe they would be caught dead wearing it, that’s the problem. Caballero’s dark colored stuff is definitely safe though. With one of these coats and a bulletproof stroller the whole family can survive firefight is style and comfort.

It’s not a pistol that can shoot tequila, but this porcelain pistol does have some kick to it. Modeled after James Bond’s infamous Walther PPK and P99, these white porcelain weapons are the product of designer Yvonne Lee Schultz. She’s created a few other floral-based pieces that look beautiful, especially the PP/99/R with a big red rose on it. Hit the jump to see the rest of Schultz’s work. After all, these will go great with that Gun Mug you bought your granny last year.

Treat your rifle like you would treat your woman. “Know her inside out, every contour and curve, every need and whim, what makes her tick.” This scan of a 1968 US Army rifle maintenance booklet instructs soldiers how to handle their ladies. Drawn by Will Eisner himself, creator of the legendary comic book The Spirit, this field manual is sure to give you a few laughs as you reminisce of times past.

It’s always nice to hear about video games getting updated so often now that online gaming is the way to go. EA has announced that they are going to be releasing a large upgrade to their game Battlefield 2142 in the spring of this year. Take a look at what EA has said about the update:

Three new maps provide the setting for the Booster Pack. High up in the Alps the EU uses launch pods to launch an assault on a PAC Titan docking harbour on the map Port Bavaria. Bridge at Remagen, the scene for one of WWII’s major battles, is once again the setting for intense battles as both sides fight to secure the bridge. Finally, night has fallen when the EU launches their assault on the city in the Liberation of Leipzig.

So while that doesn’t mean too much to you if you don’t play Battlefield 2142, if you do play, you are probably pretty pumped and anxious for the release date to roll around. So just to count the updates, there will be a total of 10 new unlockables. There will be three new maps, ten more awards for you to win, two new ground vehicles (faster, better, stronger), and finally the pods will be revamped to allow your infantry units to move around the maps in a more efficient fashion. — Nik Gomez
