2022 NRA Annual Meeting & Exhibits

Friday, May 27th, 2022

I met this delightful lady and her husband in the lobby of this year’s NRAAM in Houston. Teresa Barchuk and her husband are Life members of the NRA and typical of the folks you’ll meet if you attend one of the conventions. In fact, that’s what I love most about the NRAAM; the people that make up this organization. Everyone I meet is pleasant and has a great story.

Now, on to 14 acres of guns and gear!

Military Bridging News from Eurostatory

Friday, May 27th, 2022

For the first time in WFEL’s many appearances at the Eurosatory exhibition in Paris, the Military Bridging Systems supplier will be exhibiting on the KNDS (KMW Nexter Defence Systems) booth, alongside parent company KMW.  

 

The world-leading provider of rapidly deployed modular military bridging systems will showcase its range of products, including the DSB Dry Support Bridge and also its newest collaboration with KMW, the Boxer Bridge-Layer system.            

WFEL’s Dry Support Bridge is the world’s most technically advanced, rapidly deployable military bridge of its type and a 46m bridge can be constructed by a crew of 8 in under 90 minutes. The user base for the Dry Support Bridge is constantly growing worldwide and the latest country to join the user base is the Philippines, which is acquiring a number of DSB systems under the Horizon II modernisation programme.

Strategic Importance

WFEL’s rapidly-deployable bridging systems – including the MGB Medium Girder Bridge as well as the DSB – provide temporary infrastructure and have the potential to be used both in combat situations and in the event of natural disasters, greatly enhancing an Army’s capability to quickly manoeuvre across physical terrain as complex as rivers, ravines and man-made gaps.

The current growing ‘state of readiness for battle’ for many militaries around the world, combined with the greater involvement of the military in support of natural disasters which have occurred in recent times, illustrates the strategic importance of the dual-role capabilities of WFEL’s bridging systems.

Both DSB and MGB Bridging Systems were deployed in 2021 during rescue and relief operations, following severe flooding in Europe, namely in Germany and Turkey.

“The annual NRA event is a great opportunity to get out in front of our customers,” Terry Naughton, president of SENTRY Products Group, said. “This year we have several new items in our SENTRY Hexmag and nylon gear product lines, such as our new AR15/M4/M16 Shorty 20-round magazine, and our new packs like our 3-Day Low-Vis pack and the new SENTRY Barrage Low-Vis pack.”

Also new this year is the SENTRY HexGrip IWB or pocket holsters. These comfortable, non-printing conceal carry holsters are designed to enhance grip and reduce pistol slippage by using thousands of micro-replicated gripping fingers. The non-slip exterior and a closed-cell foam interior conform to the shape of the handgun while protecting and reducing friction and wear.

With a mission to protect the gear used by operators and responsible civilians alike, SENTRY’s optic and firearms covers are a must to protect handgun slides, optics, and long guns while in storage or transport. SENTRY Solutions’ oil-free cleaning and lubrication products not only keep firearms and knives operating in top condition and protect them from the elements but can actually improve their performance.

SENTRY Products Group Gunnar Series of vests and carriers with an assortment of pouches, belts, and platforms feature SENTRY’s patent-pending 1082™ mounting system that allows the user to quickly configure gear in support of mission demands. The unique laser cuts allow more flexibility for accessorizing than standard MOLLE/PALS platforms with cuts every 1/2 -inch instead of the traditional one-inch.
