Visitors to this year’s Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT) in Las Vegas, Nevada can try on military face paint that is enabling troops to stay concealed from enemy combatants.

In any military operation the ability to stay concealed from the enemy to maximize the element of surprise is vital. UK based, BCB International Ltd are a leading supplier of military face paint to troops worldwide and will be allowing visitors to SHOT to try on their range of camouflage cream at their booth (6606). They are unveiling for the first time at the SHOT Show their new range of squeezable camouflage face paint.

BCB International’s USA Outdoor Sales Manager, Andrew Howell, said: “Generations of soldiers and hunters throughout the world have used our camouflage creams to remain out of sight from the enemy and concealed from wildlife. Our camouflage face paints which come in different sizes and tones are made from natural ingredients, are infrared reflective, sweat proof and provide a high protection factor from the sun. We look forward to welcoming visitors to our stand who want to test out our range of camouflage creams.”

Zev / Dynamis Alliance Combat Handgun Collaboration

Wednesday, January 20th, 2016

Combining years of real world and industry experience, Dom Raso and the Dynamis team have partnered with ZEV Technologies to create the most compact and functional combat handgun available on the market. Using state-of-the-art design and technology, this pistol is lightweight, adaptable, aggressive and unmatched as a low-visibility package. The size and functionality of this platform allow us to go from concealable to an overt combat platform while keeping our training and weapon manipulation consistent. It is extremely difficult to find a reliable and durable pistol that will allow you to train hard and also be dependable when it counts. We have been able to accomplish both and are extremely proud to bring this to the industry.

When conceptualizing this project, we also wanted to make sure that as we released this new product, we did something to help warriors and their families. Giving back and supporting the communities that support us is embedded in the ethos of both Dynamis and ZEV. As a result, with the initial production run of this gun, we will be donating a portion of the profits to the NSW Family Foundation.

Dynamis Alliance is a growing team of experts whose one mission is to create the highest-quality training and gear for modern-day warriors to CRUSH and prevent modern-day threats.

MANUFACTURED FOR DYNAMIS ALLIANCE BY ZEV TECHNOLOGIES

SHOT Show – Kalashnikov USA

Wednesday, January 20th, 2016

The AK Alfa was on one of the new weapons for 2016 on display at the Kalashnikov USA booth. Using the traditional Kalashnikov rifle as the foundation, a team of Israel Defense Force snipers and engineers designed a modernized interpretation of the AK platform. One of the main features of the Alfa is it’s designed to be customized to conform to a user’s body type and shooting style. To this end, the safety lever, magazine release, and charging handle is ambidextrous. Additionally, the charging grip is interchangeable, the forend is modular, and the stock can be customized from one of several butt pads. The pistol grip, which features interchangeable inserts, also has a sealed battery compartment.

The Alfa is chambered for 7.62×39, and uses any standard AK-compatible magazines.

Below, you can check out a 3D model overview video of the AK Alfa rifle.

SHOT Show – MOHOC

Wednesday, January 20th, 2016

It’s been a while since we last posted anything on the MOHOC Elite Ops Camera, and while nothing has changed with the camera itself, there are two new updates worth covering. First, it’ll be available for general purchase very soon; we were told approximately within a week after SHOT. Until now, sales have generally been restricted to Military and Law Enforcement. The second announcement is MOHOC is working on developing a line of accessories for the Elite Ops Camera.

This is the Flat Surface Mount. This mount not only accounts for the curvature of the MOHOC camera, providing a flat surface for the camera to sit on, but it also features a 1/4″ thread and two mounting sockets on the bottom.

This mount mates with any accessories which utilize a 1/4″ screw, such as the generic miniature tripod seen below:

MOHOC also developed a KeyMod compatible attachment system which mates with the mounting sockets on the flat mount, allowing for users to attach the Elite Ops Camera to their weapon.

MOHOC also developed this GoPro mount-compatible adapter, due to the wide availability GoPro accessories on the market, and their wide adoption.

What you see below is a Dog mount for the MOHOC, which is worn like a collar and positions the the camera right between the dog’s ears.

Below is a shoulder strap adapter, which attaches to a shoulder strap on a pack or armor carrier.

Finally, MOHOC has developed a nylon carrying case for the Elite Ops Camera.

Additionally, MOHOC has been working on an accessory door which features cut outs for the HDMI and USB ports inside the Elite Ops Camera.

SHOT Show – EOTech

Wednesday, January 20th, 2016

We’ll be blunt: for obvious reasons, we didn’t know what EOTech’s presence was going to be at this year’s SHOT; we partially wondered if they would even show up. However, business must continue, and it seems that’s no exception for the EOTech brand. This year, they forgoed any additions to their line of Holographic sights, and instead displayed a new line of Vudu Precision Rifle Scopes.

The Vudu scopes come in multiple magnifications and reticle configurations, however the various models, which come in 1-6x, 2.5-10x, and 3.5-18x magnifications, do share virtually the same universal features.

The Vudu line scopes feature single-piece aircraft-grade aluminum construction, and are water, fog, and shock-resistant, with a hard anodized finish. Additional construction features include tactical-style turrets, laser-etched travel indicators, push-button illumination controls, and a single construction eyepiece. Optical features include XC high-density, low-dispersion glass, first focal plane reticle, glass-etched reticle, and illuminated reticle.
