A big surprise to me was to run into Keltec in one of the tents at Range Day. They were displaying their shotguns and promoting their Peacekeeprs program which is designed to equip military, law enforcement, private security, and global agencies with the tools they need to maintain safety and security on the frontlines.

We’ve shown you the GALEO life preserver from Canada’s Tulmar Safety Systems in the past.
What we haven’t shown you is what it looks like outside of the carrier.
Providing 40 lbs of positive bouyancy it can be attached to standard plate carriers. Its streamlined low profile shooter’s cut allows unimpeded weapons handling, climbing, rappelling, fast roping, and confined space movement. It can be Re-armed and re-packed in less than five minutes under operational conditions with no tools required.

Tactical Concealment is well known for their purpose built ghillie suits and other camouflage systems for snipers and recce troops.
Customers have come to them requesting kits that consist of their platforms along with camouflage materials to build suits from scratch. This can not only save money but allows students in training courses to build suits which is an important part of any curriculum. It also allows one to build to the environment they work in. Their answer is TC BYO for Build Your Own.
You’ll get the same quality materials they use to create concealments at a fraction of the price. Plus, you’ll learn a few things along the way. One of things I like about BYO is that they even include this cardboard form to help you create your own gear. Gluing everything together on a flat surface can result in odd protrusions.

To add to the difficulty, each participant carried a ten-kilogram backpack throughout the course.

Rheinmetall has been commissioned by the Bundeswehr to supply around one million DM45 smoke hand grenades. On 22 May, Annette Lehnigk-Emden, President of the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw), and Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbH signed a framework agreement for the manufacture and supply of the grenades. A total of up to 1.5 million DM 45 smoke hand grenades can be procured under the agreement over the coming years. The potential order volume for the approximately one million smoke hand grenades is around EUR 67 million and will be financed from the Bundeswehr’s special fund. The framework agreement runs until 2027 and allows flexible annual call-off of the ammunition based on the identified requirements of the troops. The DM45 will be produced at Rheinmetall’s Silberhütte site in the Harz Mountains, Saxony Anhalt. The order that has now been placed means that the production facility will be utilised over the longer term.
The smoke hand grenade bears the official designation ‘Granate, Hand, DM45, 800 g, KM (grenade, hand, DM45, 800 g, KM)’. It has been in service with the Bundeswehr since the mid-1990s. When its pyrotechnic charge burns, the smoke hand grenade produces heavy smoke and thus forms a smoke screen. This interrupts the line of sight, making it possible to deceive enemy forces or disguise one’s own movements. The DM45 smoke grenade fully fulfils the requirements of the troops during training, exercises and operations.
