A couple of years ago Magpul undertook a design exercise that resulted in a customized version of a Buell motorcycle called the Ronin. Ronin Motorworks was created to take the concept one step further with the Ronin Warrior. 47 of these customized bikes will be produced and released later this year by Ronin Motorworks. Each will be named after one of the famous 47 samurai warriors.

This new Hive pack is a signature item from Chris Costa by Blue Force Gear. It is sling-style pack that is reversible with a small triangular pocket that will accept a pistol. All-in-all it’s about an 8 l capacity.
The pack is dapper compatible and designed to support discreet carry and will accommodate up to subgun sized weapons.
The concept is build this pack in small batches with different colors and fabrics so that they won’t all look alike and most importantly won’t scream, “gun!” The version they demo’d incorporates Tweave, a stretch material around the top flap and is in the Arc’teryx Urban Wolf.
Look for these this Spring, initially in Urban Wolf. Specialty color runs are a minimum of 300.
Arc’teryx has a bevy of new products but one of the standouts is the Mattock Drysock LT. It relies on the same printed Gore fabric as the Alpha Jacket so your feet will stay dry but breath. They are tall enough that they will keep you dry almost up to your knee. Available in MultiCam and Crocodile the Mattock is offered in sizes XSmall – XXLarge.
Solkoa continue to develop new SERE products and training courses. One of the n concepts they are cultivating is modular SERE kits. These allow the user to select modules based on mission and TTPs. It also means that modules can be updated quickly rather than replacing entire kits when dated items expire.
Crye Precision has two new products as well as refinements of perennial favorites.
The Skullcap and Nightcap.
They’ve also refined the Airlite Plate Carrier and added a Chest Rig.
There’s also a brand new booth.
See the TALON gyro-stabilized gun platform from Paradigm at the Legion Firearms booth (# 27108). This thing has come a long way since its first appearance on Soldier Systems. First off, they’ve added a camera system – one sensor looks through the scope and one offers a wide angle view of the target area. They also added a range finder and the system automatically calculates shot distance from heights and displays it on the hand controller screen. The TALON is totally automated and stabilized for helicopters, boats, and vehicles.
The photo shows a SCAR H mounted in the TALON, but any weapon with a bottom rail on the hand guard can be utilized.
