INNOVATIVE. MODULAR. MISSION SPECIFIC.

The B.E. Meyers & Co. MAWL-DA ® (Modular Advanced Weapon Laser – Direct Action) is an IR and visible green weapon laser for aiming and illumination. Understanding the shortcomings of common laser devices in use with both military and law enforcement, B.E. Meyers & Co. built the MAWL-DA with three ideal settings (Close Range, Mid Range, and Long Range) which allow for seamless transitions in any operational environment. Engineered with B.E. Meyers’ proprietary VCSEL technology, it offers significantly improved beam quality and clarity while maintaining efficiency. The MAWL-DA was designed from the ground up to meet the needs of the modern night fighter and is currently used by Special Operations groups across the world.

INTELLIGENT. EFFECTIVE. EYE SAFE.

B.E. Meyers and Co.’s GLARE® series of weapon mounted lasers is the most advanced Ocular Interruption System available capable of providing effective Hail and Warning. Featuring B.E. Meyers & Co.’s patented SmartRange™ technology, the GLARE RECOL®, GLARE HELIOS™, and LA-22/U provide immediate and recognizable visual warning from 4m to 20km and beyond while maintaining eye safe power output on target.

LOW PROFILE. LIGHTWEIGHT. MODULAR.

The BOARS® -M2 is a low profile optics and accessories rail for the M2 platform. It offers quick-disconnect with true return-to-zero reattach for switching between day and night optics. The BOARS-M2’s minimal height over receiver allows for a lower end user defilade, while still featuring a pass through aperture for use with iron sights.

EXTREME POWER. EXTREME DISTANCE. MAXIMUM VERSATILITY.

The IZLID® series of long range IR and SWIR laser pointers and illuminators have quickly become a sought after signaling and target marking commodity for handheld, weapon, and aircraft mounted applications. They have been to hell-and-back in conflict zones across the world, and stay operational and effective no matter how much abuse they take in the field.

FBI Awards Contract for up to $19 Million of Specifically Designed Federal Premium Training Ammunition

Tuesday, May 1st, 2018

ANOKA, Minnesota – April 26, 2018 – The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has awarded Vista Outdoor a contract to supply FBI and other Federal Government Agencies with a high-performance Federal Premium 9mm handgun training round specifically designed to support their mission.

The IDIQ (indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity) contract, which has four option years, is for up to $19 million in 9mm handgun training rounds. This ammunition is built distinctively to FBI’s specifications using Federal Premium’s precision manufacturing and testing methods, innovative technology, and industry-leading components.

“We are extremely proud of this important contract, which continues Federal Premium’s long-running tradition of supplying law enforcement, military personnel and civilians worldwide with the most reliable ammunition possible,” said Federal Premium President Jason Vanderbrink. “This high-value, optimized training round utilizes a new match-grade bullet designed specifically for the FBI to maximize accuracy, along with Federal Premium’s Catalyst lead-free primer formulation to provide reliable, consistent ignition.”

Since 1922, Federal Premium Ammunition has been a staple for shooters wanting high-quality shotshell, centerfire and rimfire ammunition. The company’s relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation has resulted in numerous technological breakthroughs, such as the patented Catalyst primer used in the new FBI training round.

The extremely clean-burning Catalyst primer creates more uniform and complete propellant combustion, yielding minimal velocity variation and consistent bullet launch for improved accuracy. It is also non-hydrophilic, so it does not attract water molecules like DDNP-based mixes found in most lead-free primers, resulting in better reliability. The Federal Premium proprietary Catalyst primer provides the cleanest, most consistent ignition possible.

Civilians and other Law Enforcement agencies looking for similar high-performance primers in their range ammunition can find it in Federal’s full lineup of lead-free American Eagle and Syntech ammunition. The polymer-encapsulated Syntech bullet prevents metal-on-metal contact between the bullet and bore, which can shorten barrel life and rob accuracy, while also eliminating copper and lead fouling. Combined with specialized clean-burning powders, your gun will stay cleaner longer, so you can shoot more – and shoot better.
