NTtv

Kopis Mobile has updated the data sheet for their Networked Tactical Television (NTtv) system. Click the above image to view the entire document.

Here’s the standard description of the system:

Operators noticed that many action cameras (e.g. GoPro or Contour) were being carried downrange, and the rapid adoption of smartphones meant that video screens were available as well. The NTtv system links these two sets of COTS products – or any standard camera and smart device – to allow squad members to easily share video among themselves. With a small, inexpensive, rugged camera and convenient smartphone on hand, the addition of a lightweight NTtv box ties all of the squad together via an industry standard RTSP stream. A specialized NTtv app lets squad members easily flip through the ‘channels’. The minimal system footprint enables multiple uses of the same kit, so that a squad can migrate the camera from dismounted, to mobile, to fixed site surveillance while keeping every member abreast of the overall situational awareness.

The Ways of Industrial Espionage

Thursday, January 9th, 2014

I know there are many readers of SSD that are currently in route to Las Vegas Nevada to attend the annual SHOT Show . Some of them will be going for no other reason than to conduct industrial espionage. What better place to get an under the hood view of your competitors than a tradeshow?

While they aren’t a company we would normally mention on SSD, this video by Saddleback Leather entitled, “How to Knock Off a Bag” certainly caught our eye. In the spirit of sharing some training in the ways of industrial espionage we thought we’d share it with you. We know it will somebody out. But, if you prefer quality, you might enjoy the video as well.

I’ve Never Seen Anything Like It – Manly Innovations MBX – Magazine Base Interchange System

Thursday, January 9th, 2014

41c60dffc5d65220fbfc276fcaac1d5d

The Manly Innovations MBX (Magazine Base Interchange System) is a baseplate replacement for magazines that functions as a quick attach/detach for select attachments. Initial attachments will include the ‘Manly Bayonet’, Glass Breaker/Seatbelt Cutter, and a Picatinny rail.

The proprietary ‘Manly Bayonet’ allows the user to deploy a blade in a low or no-ammo scenario without holstering the sidearm and reaching for a fixed blade. The bayonet appears to come with a dedicated Kydex sheath that mounts to PALS webbing, which allows the user to mount and detach the blade during drawn and holster.

MBXs will be available for magazines of the following models of pistols:

Beretta M9/M9A1/92FS
Glock: .40 models – 22/23/35
All single stack 1911s

There’s also a video (embedding disabled by request) of the Manly Bayonet in action. Enjoy!

The Magpul PMAG 30 AK/AKM MOE Magazine Is Shipping In Time For SHOT Show!

Thursday, January 9th, 2014

Magpul started teasing us last year with an AK mag. Now, here they are.

Magpul 30 rd AK Mag

The Magpul PMAG 30 AK MOE is a lightweight, 30-round polymer magazine for 7.62×39 Kalashnikov pattern rifles (AK-47, AKM, AKS, SIG556R and others.) It features a removable floorplate, constant curve geometry, and a high-reliability/low-friction follower for the affordable performance you expect from a MOE PMAG. Interestingly, they don’t feature metal locking lugs making a lot of folks skeptical at this stage. With my luck they’ll sell out while I’m at SHOT and OR.

Forged Sling Swivel

In addition to the Ergonomic Modular Rail being unveiled at SHOT Show, ALG Defense will also be releasing a great accessory for it, the new Forged Sling Swivel (FSS). The FSS weighs in at roughly 0.5 ounces and is about half the weight of similar steel QD sling swivel assemblies. It is forged from 7075 T6 aluminum, which is the same aluminum and manufacturing process used to make mil-spec upper and lower receivers. This process allows the FSS to be very strong and can withstand pull forces of up to 800lbs. The body of the FSS is type 3 hardcoated for a durable finish, while the button is Black Nitride processed. Initially black will be the only color option with gray soon to follow. The FSS will retail at 32$!
