If the Army is going to spend resources validating the use of motorcycles (yet again), what they really need is the Delta MK 4 Megafighter.
That’s right, MegaForce!

Team TCB finishes Baja 1000
Friday, November 30th, 2012Congratulations to Team TCB at Race for the Wounded for completing the 2012 Baja 1000. Team TCB consists of Veterans from the Army, Navy, and Marines that banded together to race Baja in order to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project. This year’s Baja 1000 had the highest attrition rate in history and yet, Team TCB finished 2nd in their class with a time of 43 hours.
These guys are amazing. Members literally just started riding last year and would practice between deployments as contractors in order to refine their skills.
We also want to mention that our friends at Combat Flip Flops are a proud sponsor of Team TCB. To help Team TCB hit their $50,000 donation goal, Combat Flip Flops is donating $20 for every pair of Flip Flops sold to Team TCB between now and Christmas. For more information about the race, riders, and their mission, you can visit their website at www.raceforthewounded.com

Eagle Industries Launches New Website
Friday, November 30th, 2012
In addition to an updated look, Eagle’s new website includes products sheets for many of your favorite products as well as a few “new” products such as the Multi Mission Armor Carrier (MMAC) seen below. The MMAC has been around for awhile but this is the first time it’s been featured on their site.
The MMAC fits SPEAR/BALCS SAPI and ESAPI Front/Rear plates and uses a kangaroo-style flap to retain the cummerbund which will carry 3 x M4 magazines. In addition to a drag handle and padded shoulder straps with detachable cable routing, the rear also features upper and lower pack attachment connection points for attaching Eagles Modular Assault Packs. The MMAC is modular so you can configure it with a MOLLE assault cummerbund that integrates both Radio and side plate retention or a simple waist strap to maintain a low profile. The MMAC will also accept Deltoid and Groin protection.
RCS ModuLoader Frames Are Meant For HSGI Tacos
Friday, November 30th, 2012
Raven Concealment Systems prepared this graphic to explain that their new ModuLoader Frames are intended specifically for use with the HSGI family of TACOs.
They also provided this clarification:
Frames are made to work specifically with HSGI Taco pouches. Taco pouches have a number of features that work with the Frames to hold the pouch in place. All Taco pouches have three horizontal rows of 1″ webbing with no space in between the rows. The Taco pouches for rifle magazines are tacked down the center of these three rows to create two separate channels. On the Taco pouches, by selecting which two rows of webbing you pass the Frame through will allow you to adjust the ride height of the Taco.
If you want to use another type or brand of pouch on the Frames, the pouch must have AT LEAST two rows of 1″ webbing WITH NO SPACE IN BETWEEN THEM. Rifle mag carriers must also be tacked down the center to create two channels. Many MOLLE/PALS pouches do not have these features and thus will not mount correctly to the Frames.
Additionally, the HSGI Taco pouches are sewn with very tight tolerances. One of the main complaints about Tacos is that they are very difficult to mount to a MOLLE platform, and much of that difficulty is due to how tightly the PALS channels are sewn. To work with the Taco pouches, the fingers on the Frames were spaced at one inch intervals instead of 1 1/8″ or 1 1/2″. While this spacing fits the Tacos perfectly, it is too close together to match up with most other pouches.
Most of the other types of pouches we tried on the Frame had a tendency to slide around (either vertically or horizontally) because of the more generous spacing of the MOLLE/PALS interface. Also, most other types of pouches are wider than the Tacos due to their construction. This makes fitting more than one pouch on a frame side by side less than ideal.

At this point all we have is a peep, but every War Sport Industries LVOA AR will come packed in a DBAG manufactured by HSGI.
LA Police Gear Takes the “Ugly Christmas Sweater” Tactical
Friday, November 30th, 2012LA Police Gear has introduced what I see as the greatest Christmas gift idea of the season. These “Ugly Christmas Sweaters” are going to be tough to beat.
Consisting of six different styles, the sweaters take the concept to a whole new level. They’ve got Patriotic, anti-terror as well as fun messages. My favorite is the American Flag Christmas seen here.
But, I’m also partial to the Dive Bomber sweater.
Get yours at www.lapolicegear.com/lapg-christmas-sweaters.
