Magpul FDP/FDC Update

Friday, January 14th, 2022

It’s been a year since we announced the FDP/FDC Magpul is building in conjunction with ZEV Technologies.

With roots in the FMG9 project of over decade ago, the new FDP/FDC Pistol and Carbine variants have undergone engineering improvements and ATF review. Back in 2008, the Folding Machine Gun was originally envisioned as a 9mm, Glock-based sub gun, envisioned as a transforming firearm that would snap into action at the push of a button. As you can see, the ZEV collaboration brings the OZ9 into the equation.

B&T Brings Its Vast Suppressor Technology To The United States

Friday, January 14th, 2022

Tampa, FL (January 14, 2022) – During the last thirty years, B&T AG has become the industry’s premier suppressor producer, and has been selected to produce suppressors for most of Europe’s small arms manufacturers and many of Europe’s armed forces and Police agencies. In 2022, B&T suppressor availability is coming to the United States.

“We’re excited to introduce you to the next evolution of suppressors — our Reduced Backpressure System (RBS) line of SMG and rifle caliber suppressors” said Jon Scott, Vice President of Sales, B&T USA. “These revolutionary flow-thru suppressor designs feature a low-pressure chamber design to absorb a substantial amount of gas, thereby reducing back pressure. This significantly minimizes, and in some cases, eliminates excess gas pressure at the charging handle and ejection port locations, making the RBS a top choice for submachine guns, assault rifles and machine guns.”

B&T’s sound suppressors are world-renowned by tip of the spear professionals as being of the highest quality, most technologically advanced in both material and design, while being rugged enough to withstand the harshest environmental conditions and high-tempo firing schedules imaginable. Our product line extends from trick .22 caliber suppressors for civilian sport shooting all the way to .50 BMG sniper suppressors used by tier one anti-terror teams. Our line also includes specialized suppressors for light and medium caliber machine guns. Numbering nearly 500 different models for platforms of all kinds, our suppressor line can succinctly be described as thorough.

The NEW Micro6x Magnifier from Vortex Takes Your Red Dot 6x Farther

Friday, January 14th, 2022

BARNEVELD, Wis. – With a red dot, your carbine is already a versatile weapon, giving you the confidence you need to engage close-range targets. But now, there’s a simple way to stretch your effective range, with the new Micro6x Magnifier from Vortex®.

In addition to being the most compact 6x magnifier on the market, the Micro6x Magnifier provides an easy on, easy off flip mount, and everything you need to mount up right out of the box. You can take your pick of three mounting heights, from absolute co-witness, lower 1/3 co-witness, and 1.93 inches with included riser, and the adjustable flip mount easily allows for left- or right-handed use.

The camlock system engages and disengages with direct pressure, allowing you to raise and lower the magnifier quickly and easily, and the system is built to stand up to hard use in the field. Crisp optics round out an all-new way to hit harder and farther than you ever thought possible.

Maztech x Magpul Partner to Present the X4-FCS

Friday, January 14th, 2022

With a week of awesome new products from Magpul, this one was the most surprising and offers biggest chance at being a game changer.

The Army has long indicated their desire for a Round Counter capability to inform both the shooter and others an idea of how many rounds they have in their weapon as well as data on how many rounds the weapon has fired for maintenance. The X4-FCS does that and so much more.

Designed in conjunction with Maztech Industries, the X4-FCS is an appliqué for your existing LPVO, transforming it into a smart optic.

The system takes multiple independent inputs from around the firearm and fuses the data to communicate with the shooter (and others if needed) to build situational awareness on the target area and weapon status. The system provides powered or unpowered magazine awareness with data sent to multiple displays.

It offers a secure communications capability with Bluetooth, Near Field Communication and Ultra Wideband systems.

They aren’t stopping here. They anticipate other systems on the X4 roadmap integrate into the FCS to provide selectable inputs, ranging and target illumination, and shooter enhanced visual awareness.

The X4-FCS promises to do provide most, if not all of the capability of the recently selected Next Generation Squad Weapon – Fire Control except this can be used in conjunction with existing optics.

The photos shared here are of a developmental system and what Magpul shows at SHOT Show next week isn’t even the final product.
