The US military spends tens of millions of dollars each year on the research and development of new military products. Every day, new inventions are brought to life through military research and development, from the behind-the-scenes labour that tracks what's needed, to the science that makes the military product feasible, to prototypes and field testing.
What we don't realize, though, is how many ordinary things began this way. The military products didn't invent these things, but that doesn't mean they stayed in the military. Many objects made it to widespread use, and the origins of many of them have since been forgotten.
Take a look at these common military goods that were brought to life by tax dollars and military research:
1. The sanitary napkins were invented in 1914.
2. In the 1930s, the popular Ray-Ban Aviator Sunglasses was invented.
3. Duct Tape and Super Glue were invented in 1942.
1. The sanitary napkins were invented in 1914.
Let us pay special tribute to pioneer women. Before the 1920s, the majority of what was available was homemade. Cotton pads were first introduced during WWI as military product, but a cotton shortage prompted the Kimberly-Clark Company to develop cellucotton, an absorbent material produced from wood pulp. Originally designed for bandages, nurses in the Red Cross recognized their usefulness and began using them during Aunt Flo's visits.
Kimberly-Clark began producing and marketing cellucotton sanitary napkins after the war ended. Because of the nature of the product's use, many businesses refused to stock it, but sanitary napkins became readily available to the general public instead of only military product within a few years.
2. In the 1930s, the popular Ray-Ban Aviator Sunglasses was invented.
As military pilots reached unprecedented altitudes, they realized they needed military product -- sunglasses to protect them from the strong glare. The US Army Air Corps hired Bausch & Lomb to design aviator goggles with their trademark shape and lens material that successfully filtered out the light.
However, the product was not excluded; in 1937, they re-branded a pair of sunglasses as “Ray-Bans” (banning the rays) and sold them to civilians.
By the end of the 1930s, as military products, all soldiers were issued a pair, and the civilian populace could purchase them as well.
3.Duct Tape and Super Glue were invented in 1942.
Duct Tape was another WWII invention of military product. Johnson & Johnson Co. developed it in response to a request from the military for an adhesive that could resist harsh environments. Their first invention was dubbed "duck tape" because it was waterproof. It was frequently utilized by civilians after the war, most commonly to seal ducts. It was renamed Duct Tape and rebranded in silver to match modern heating and air conditioning systems.
During World War II, Super Glue made its appearance as well. When Eastman Kodak was looking for a compound to utilize on plastic rifle sights, they came up with this compound. It was created by chance and was found to be too sticky to use.
It was rediscovered nearly a decade later and discovered to have enormous commercial potential. It was first sold to the general public in 1958, and physicians used it to swiftly seal open wounds during the Vietnam War.

Rifles are difficult to transport, especially since we want our bags to be both comfortable and unobtrusive. In the latter case, alternatives such as fishing rod covers or guitar covers offer undeniable advantages, but they fall well short of the ergonomics of dedicated solutions. However, we must keep in mind that, due to the materials used in their manufacture, weapons and ammunition weigh significantly more than fishing rods or musical instruments, thus the covers designated to them must be much more solidly sewed. However, this isn't the only way to modify the bag to transport weapons, so let's take a look at some other options. Here are the options we provide in this article:
1. The advantages of the double upper rifle bag.
2. How about the carrying rifle bag?
3. The most different one -- range bag.
The easy-to-unfold structure of AR-platform rifles enables for fast reduction of the weapon's overall dimensions, as well as the replacement of the breech chamber with a barrel for another. Owners frequently utilize this procedure. To be sure, the issue in Poland is unique; if we have a barrel with a cartridge number other than the weapon's, we'll need a separate guarantee for it. However, as more models become available with numerically consistent sets of barrels, more individuals are opting for this option. It allows us to adapt the modular rifle to various scenarios; for example, a 10.5-inch barrel is ideal for dynamic settings, while an 18-inch barrel allows you to play at considerably longer distances.
SBR carrying rifle bag may be the best option for someone looking for a unique alternative to a traditional cover. It distributes weight more evenly on the back, and, contrary to its name, it can hold more than only short-barreled rifles. The folded AR-15 carbine with a 16-inch barrel, the Grot after installing the stock, or the AK carbine with folding stock - carbines with a barrel about 11 inches can be easily fitted in fully assembled - may all be readily stuffed into the bag. We don't have to worry about the stability of our weapons in the cover because the backpack has a similar organizing scheme to the previously discussed bag.
The final piece is a little different in that it isn't made to hold long weapons. It was, however, so well-designed that we couldn't help but highlight it. One of the most popular cases for accessories and pistols is the Range Bag. It allows you to conveniently organize the stuff that you carry to the shooting range thanks to the strengthened walls and built-in organizers.
