Standard Armament Inc is a family owned business and was created with Howard Hughes in 1945. Their ammunition chute and handling systems are incorporated into almost every US weapon system.
SAI produces chutes that handle up to 30mm ammo. In fact, their 5.56 and 7.62 chutes are used by a couple of manufacturers for their dismounted ammunition pack systems.
“Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society.”

Perhaps we might reflect on this observation as we consider the Army’s camouflage situation.
This photo from Tactical Distributors reminds us that “Grey Is The New Black”.

We were remiss in wishing Mark Brandon “Chopper” Read a farewell as he shuffles from this mortal coil. Sure, he was a criminal, but he always entertained us with his antics as he became very much the folk hero. We were into the guy before the Eric Banta vehicle “Chopper” made it to the US and often heard about him from mates in the Australian forces.
In fact, you might love Chopper too and not even realize it. Mil-Spec Monkey created this patch based on one of Chopper’s catch phrases.
Read died October 9th in Melbourne of liver cancer. Read about him here.
ExplosiveOps Gear’s new PUC (Person Under Control) mask is designed for optimal prisoner transport security. The mask is made of 1000 denier Cordura nylon. It blocks all visibility of the prisoner providing secure movement to the operator. The elastic headband is adjustable for smaller heads, and the position of the band keeps eyes covered even in high wind conditions. The PUC deploys in less then five seconds and stows to a size of only 3 x 3″ with attached Velcro closure; several could be carried in a cargo pocket. Available in Solid Black and Coyote Tan. Made in the USA.

There has been an overwhelming demand for information on where to buy the upcoming DEFCON X Vans Syndicate AOR shoes. Fortunately, we’ve obtained a list of retailers that consistently put at least a few pairs of Syndicate exclusives on their online stores. We were told they will all announce the shoes on their news / blog sections and usually launch in their store and online the same day. The given release date for the AOR shoes is October 15th. Please remember that supplies are limited; this is most definitely a ‘first-come-first-serve’ situation. If you’re looking for a pair then good luck!
