The CSM DROP POUCH is built for operators who need fast access, reliable retention, and zero nonsense.
Double-lined construction and a formed opening make magazine stowage smooth and efficient, even under stress or with gloves on. Designed for mags, shotgun shells, NVGs, and other mission-essential gear, it’s versatile enough for range work, patrol, or deployment.
The integrated drawstring closure keeps contents secure when movement gets aggressive. At approximately 11″ x 10″, it provides ample storage without unnecessary bulk. This pouch proves that simple gear usually survives the longest—kind of like that one salty team guy who refuses to retire.

EAGLEVILLE, PA, May 5, 2026 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, announced that its TLR-7® X weapon light is included in a $39 million CAD contract awarded to Canadian distributor Rampart Corporation to supply Canadian Federal Police with a new duty pistol system.
The new system includes the Glock 45 MOS 7 pistol, the TLR-7 X, a red dot sight, and duty holster. It is expected to be widely deployed across Royal Canadian Mounted Police personnel, Canada’s primary federal police force. Rampart was awarded the contract following a competitive procurement process led by Public Services and Procurement Canada.
Designed to maximize visibility and targeting capabilities in a variety of tactical applications, the exceptionally lightweight TLR-7 X delivers 550 lumens for extreme brightness. It features a special optic that produces a concentrated beam while also optimizing peripheral illumination. It also features switches that can be customized to match users’ shooting styles.
“Streamlight is deeply honored that the TLR-7 X has been selected as the issued pistol light of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police,” said Streamlight Regional Sales Manager – Brian Osborn. “This milestone reflects not only our commitment to excellence in professional lighting, but also the tremendous partnership and hard work over several years with our sales agency representatives at Kolder Canada and Rampart International. We are proud to provide the RCMP with our lighting solutions and to support the law enforcement professionals who serve and protect their communities.”
The Waterproof Aircrew Survival Pack from Watershed was developed as an airtight and waterproof backpack system for isolated personnel. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, think downed flyer.
In addition to keeping critical survival gear organized and dry thanks to the 44” YKK Aquaseal zipper which creates an airtight, waterproof clamshell-style opening, it offers approximately 37 lbs of buoyancy in sea water when inflated.
Inside there are two laser cut Tegris panels for organization of SERE items, as well as storage pockets for the GAU-5A Aircrew Survival Rifle and magazines.
On the outside, the WASP features a laser cut MOLLE panel, an elastic keeper with cord lock cinch, and 36” webbing keepers with G-lock fasteners.
Shoulder straps are sewn in a continuous loop with 4000 lbs – rated webbing and Cobra buckles, enabling the pack to withstand high-G deceleration forces during deployment. Naturally, it can be stowed in and deployed from ACES II and ACES V ejection seats.
Construction:
• All seams RF welded, no glue or tape used
• 500d Cordura®, 2-Side TPU laminated Kryptothane™ outer fabric, embossed to minimize IR signature
• Laser cut fabric panels are dual ply 500d Cordura® Armathane™ material
• 44” YKK Aquaseal Drysuit Zipper, with locking tab
• Laser cut Tegris interior organization panels
• Steel G-hook fasteners
• AustriAlpin COBRA® ProStyle shoulder strap buckles
• Halkey-Roberts 800ROL oral inflate/deflate valve with lockout for buoyancy control
• Halkey-Roberts 780RP pressure relief valve prevents overinflation
• MIL-W-5625 Webbing (shoulder straps)
• MIL-W-17337 Webbing (all other straps and handles)
• Gov E Milspec thread, A-A-59826A

C100 Multi-Mission Pack | Custom Load Carriage Solution
The C100 is a man-packable, multi-mission unmanned aircraft system that gives warfighters airborne ISR, targeting, and precision-effects capability from a single rucksack.
MYSTERY RANCH developed a purpose-built rucksack for PDW’s C100 sUAS, enabling a single operator to transport the complete system on foot. The pack supports movement through austere terrain and confined environments, including enclosed structures and stairwells, while maintaining balance, protection, and rapid access.
Custom design. Collaborative development. Built to move when the mission demands it.
Military personnel have all seen the same thing with traditional MOLLE snaps, they fail when you need them most.
Steel snaps rust shut, seize up, or shear off entirely. And once they fail, there’s no fixing them in the field. Moisture, sweat, humidity, and time all work against metal hardware, turning a simple closure into a liability.
Studies on the corrosive nature of steel especially in high-moisture environments reinforce what warfighters already know: these closures are a known failure point and are not suited for sustained combat use.
Helium Whisper was engineered to eliminate that problem.
In place of metal snaps, Blue Force Gear (“BFG”) developed a hook-and-loop VELCRO® tuck tab system that is quieter, more secure, and immune to the failures that plague traditional hardware.
The industry’s leading IFAK Kit / Trauma Kit showing the advanced Helium Whisper MOLLE pouch attachment system.
The tabs tuck cleanly underneath the pouch backer, creating a low-profile attachment with no exposed hardware to snag, corrode, or break.
Field repairability was also a deliberate feature. While it’s unlikely a hook-and-loop tab would come unstitched, if it does, it can be repaired without tools. A failed metal snap offers no such option downrange.
After nearly twenty years of combat and field use, Helium Whisper has proven what every warfighter understands: gear that doesn’t absorb water, doesn’t corrode, and doesn’t fail keeps you faster, safer, and more effective.
As the focus on weight reduction continues, the Helium Whisper system stands as a lightweight solution that delivers both durability and reliability for those who rely on it most.
