China is beating us!

[Hoosier]

Look at this amazing tactical shovel action:

Seriously, I want a couple. I could keep one in the kitchen. Is there anything it can't do? Watch this and tell me at what point you finally say, "WTF!?".

Also, translations lol.

[ChunkyMonkey]

hehe the shield part is too funny

[ThunderSquirrel]

Tactical AND it makes one heck of a potato chip!

[cowboykjohnson]

wow they're pretty good with those shovels!

[Elhuero]

I don't see how you could dig a bunch of holes, and still have an edge sharp enough to slice a potato.

[Irving]

I was watching that video thinking about how nice it would be to bury my crap and prepare my food with the same tool. Then maybe later I could slice my hand open trying to tighten something. That will of course make the shovel slippery for when I try to use it as an anchor later. The shovel will slip when I'm half way out and my comrades would find me laying at the bottom of a wall with my shovel stuck into my head.

Having a bad day?

ROFL at shield and oar. I'm surpised they didn't try to claim holding two and flying away.

[Irving]

You didn't cringe every time they grabbed the blade end of the shovel with their bare hands (after seeing those awesome potato chips)? When those guys were climbing the wall, I was just waiting for that shovel to slip off the rail and impale that guy in the head due to his body weight. I had to cover my eyes and watch through my fingers.

The chinese always find multiple uses for things.

[was unable to find the photo of a guy using his shotgun as a leaning rest, barrel wedged firmly in his ass crack]

[TFOGGER]

They forgot "juicer"

Check out the bottle opener at 4:43ish [ROFL2]

[Beprepared]

Oh crap the Chinese built a better shovel. Don't tell the Spetsnaz! [Mad]

[Bailey Guns]

It looks like the Chinese equivalent of a Ronco commercial: "It slices, it dices, make julienne fries, cut wire, open your wine bottle, paddle your boat...or your butt."

And with that music I expected Tom Selleck to ride up on a horse through the whole video.

[PogoManiac7]

Wow. That was fairly entertaining.

[theGinsue]

Through the whole thing I kept thinking that Spetsnaz uses a shovel better - and probably have better made shovels - at least theirs won't be "Made in China". Probably full of lead.

Funny you should say that - I was expecting Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, Bruno Kirby and Jack Palance to come riding through the screen shot.

And each and everyone of us that just followed the link to a Chinese video site now need to make sure and run the full array of AV, Malware and other security programs.

Uhg...

Kaspersky didn't flag on the site, or I wouldn't have sent it.

PS: Everyone do yourself a favor and run good security software on all your machines.

[BadShot]

Hoosier,

Check.. just ran my tools and it comes back clean. Working where I do, we get hit by China for an array of things (upwards of 25-150K attempted penetrations and security events a day just for my poor 11,000 user environment) that really are pretty damn scary in the attack vectors, I just do my best to stay away from most Asian sites...

Sorry if I came across as too harsh man

Let me guess you're running some sophisticated firewall hardware/software that sits on the edge of your network and reports every script kiddie running nmap against your site as a attempted penetration? In iptables, openvpn, fail2ban, and ssh keys I trust. ;)

[Backinblackrifles]

I sharpened one edge of My E-tool and it will do most of this except open a bottle and cut wire.... But that is what American made teeth are for to go from ....[Mad] to [Tooth] Just have some more made when I get home[LOL]

Here is my response to the Chinese Shovel video.

I especially like the part when the guy pops the balloon.

[SU405]

WOW! He's even fatter and more out of shape than the last vid I seen him in. Those cold steel vids are good for a laugh.

[CowboyTuff]

did I just hear John Wayne music in an asian video??? i guess we sold that too [Rant1]

Entertaining [Pop]
But out-of-shape people shouldn't try to act bad-ass. It doesn't look right

[Irving]

I noticed during the balloon part, they had it measured out at 21 feet away. I think they might have been trying to simulate that drill about if you can draw and chamber a round before someone stabs you from 21 feet away. Maybe they were going to say how you can stab someone EVEN FASTER with a 5 foot blade, but decided that it was too ridiculous to include in the video.
