We got so caught up with SHOT Show that we forgot to post this handy little video with Mers discussing suppressor ownership. Not a bad primer.

AAC Presents: Suppressor Ownership
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010Triton Softshell from Unleashed Tactical
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010UK Based Unleashed Tactical Equipment has released images and information to us on their new Triton Softshell. It’s by design that you haven’t heard of Unleashed Tactical until now. They have been providing very high end products to a select customer base for some time and felt it was finally the right time to come out into the open. They will continue to maintain a selective client list but felt that our website was a good venue to introduce them to more of the right kind of customer.
Unleashed Tactical Equipment out of the UK has just completed their 2010 product collection. Developed specifically for law enforcement, military and security specialists, the range encompasses overt and covert tasks.
The Triton Softshell is a mid-layer jacket available in hooded and mandarin collar variants. Both garments use a windproof and highly breathable four way stretch Schoeller® textile. The outer face of the garment is finished with the same company’s nanoSpere® durable water repellent finish. The inside features a micro fleece lining for warmth. The cut of the garment is athletic and maximizes the stretch properties of the material, following the Unleashed philosophy of Body Proximity Comfort™.
Speaking of comfort, the four pockets on the jacket feature HyperVentilationâ„¢ pocket liners. The liners allow direct venting of humidity when open, increasing comfort during times of high physiological burden. The sleeves of the jacket are also slightly longer than normal to offer some hand protection where gloves are not an option. The jacket is finished with water resistant YKK zippers and shock cord waist adjustment.

Spain to Adopt New Camo
Monday, January 25th, 2010Everyone’s doing it, adopting new camo patterns that is. Two new patterns are on their way for the Spanish Army, a Woodland Digital pattern named “Spectrum64K” (seen below) and a Desert/Urban variant purported to look almost identical to UCP. The cut of both versions is almost identical to the ACU.
The ironic thing in all of this is that as soon as the patterns were released by the Army, Spanish troops preparing to deploy to Afghanistan started to run out and purchase MultiCam and US MARPAT uniforms.
A-TACS Sighting #6 – Danner

Patagonia to Offer Alpha Green
Sunday, January 24th, 2010Patagonia is going to offer Alpha Green as a color option for their Fall 10 line up. I know it’s a way off but start saving your pennies if you want to put together a more modern version of MARS or just update some of the pieces in the kit you already have.
New Ops-Core Buckle
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010Ops-Core has engineered a new buckle for their chinstrap in order to improve the grip while wearing gloves. Additionally, the new design in conjunction with a slight change in how it is attached to the webbing will stop webbing material from preventing the buckle to close.
Coolest Thing at SHOT Show?
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010Without a doubt the Mayhem TR from Arc’teryx was the coolest thing I saw at SHOT Show. This pullover hoodie design will make a great addition to the Arc’teryx line…some day.
