🎈 Good morning. Leave it to 2026 to remind us that sometimes the biggest threats in the sky aren’t drones — they’re party balloons. In El Paso yesterday, the U.S. military opened fire on what was thought to be a cartel drone intruding on U.S. airspace, only to find out it was just a balloon drifting overhead. The mix-up briefly shut down flights, scrambled agencies, and left everyone wondering if America’s newest aerial adversary might be inflated (again…). The real question isn’t what kid is still crying about his Spiderman balloon — it’s how much it cost to shoot it down in this ammo economy? Hope they didn’t use TSS.
For the skimmers, speed-readers, and savages:
➤ Langdon Tactical: Small gun. Serious attitude.
➤ Dead Air: Range. Tested. Proven.
➤ Gun Deals: Gear Priced Right.
➤ SHOT Show: 2026 Gear Unleashed

We took the Dead Air Nomad Ti OTB to the range and ran it the way it’s meant to be run. It’s light, balanced, and hits with a level of control that makes you double-check the specs. No hype — just real performance under real trigger time. Here’s how it held up. (+Video)
