MTek Weapon Systems Introduces Curvilinear Ballistic Armor
Sunday, June 23rd, 2013To me, it’s always exciting when a small, Veteran owned business makes a stride forward. I’m looking forward to taking a look at their ballistic data.
From their Facebook Page:
“Time for a major update! We’re always telling you how busy we are and can never say what we’re working on. All this talk of revolutionizing personal armor. Well, we finally have something we can show you! Keep in mind, the following data is PRELIMINARY ONLY until we complete additional testing! How about a “drop in” replacement flight helmet and mandible 4x more ballistic resistant than the current issue! How about a 1.5lb ballistic plate or a 2lb helmet (total weight)? We’re not releasing ballistic data on the prototypes yet, but you’re quite possibly looking at some of the most advanced, lightest weight armor in development. We now have the ability to rapidly manufacture lightweight, highly curvilinear ballistic armor. We are Ironman

Gunfighter Moment – Kyle Defoor 
Saturday, June 22nd, 2013
When it comes to PT nowadays, we pretty much got it licked. Between CrossFit and the host of other programs out there our mil, LE, and civs are in great shape strength wise.
It’s a bit funny to see it becoming a phenomenon when some of it is basically a military type PT session thats been going on for half a century. Still great and at least people are doing something useful and beneficial and at the same time enjoying themselves.
However, one part that is being left out in some places is cardio. Real cardio. Simply not enough running, biking, swimming, whatever. I see it in some mil places where run times have dropped dramatically. It’s been addressed in other spots and now a lot of mil units are starting to see run times being crushed. A lot of us are attributing this to the perfect complement of real world strength training combined with cardio, plus “active” rest days.
A good guide to complement whatever PT you do is cardio 3 times a week, 20 mins at a heart rate of roughly 165 bpm. That’s pretty much universal for someone who isn’t obese.
A better complement to your strength training is 4 times a week at 30 minutes a pop, 2 sessions at around 165 bpm, and 2 sessions at 185-195 bpm.
In the end, you’ll have to base your cardio on how much time is spent on strength stuff, but the above is a starter guide.
Runners with experience can break this down to easy pace for long distance and tempo pace which is approx 1.5-2 min slower than race pace.
Somewhere around a 3:1 is perfect I think for strength vs. cardio for the masses. A 2:1 should be considered for mil units who move on foot over rough terrain or recce elements.
