AUSA – Cardinal Scientific

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

Commercially known as RAIDS (Rifle Actuated IED Defeat System), this rifle launched line is used to clear lanes of IEDs. You might think of it as a launchable grappling hook and can be used to pull trip wires or even det cord. The Army recently awarded Cardinal Scientific a 2 year IDIQ for the system under the unlikely moniker DIED (Dismounted Improvised Explosive Device). Despite the name it’s a simple, yet effective bullet trap device.

Previous devices only accepted M193 Ball but RAIDS accepts up to M855A1. It does this through the use of a removable trap and the system comes with 10 of these traps. Additionally, it uses 550cord for the line as it is readily available in the supply system and has little to no stretch.

RAIDS is quickly configurable and includes several replaceable tines made from stainless still and nylon for use on different terrain.

PMAG GEN M3/USGI Feedlip Drop Test

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

Magpul conducted a demonstration of their new M3 PMAG technology.

This is a video from our feed lip drop testing. With a sample size of one each in this video, it is still an “unscientific” demonstration, but we didn’t think you’d want to see hours of magazines falling. This test is very typical of the overall results. This is the loaded magazine room temperature feed lip drop on concrete, from 6 feet, PMAG 30 GEN M3 vs USGI, tan follower, followed by full auto function fire. All drops were from a fixture to control impact angle and release. Test firearm is an HK 416.
