SHOT Show 20 – Wilcox FUSION System
Wednesday, January 29th, 2020Wilcox Industries has been working on powered weapon rails for years, but now International customers are beginning to field their FUSION system.
Wilcox refers to FUSION as an “electrical power management system” which provides centralized power to the weapon’s accessories via a removable Battery Management Power Supply System for CR123A with primary and backup power switch. It also works as a data bus.
This waterproof battery case powers the system and is mounted to the 6 o’clock position just in front of the magwell.
The system is modular. The triangular inserts are for heat mitigation with a Remote light/laser Activation Switch which can also be inserted into these slots. The light module was developed with SureFire and uses their Vampire head for White and IR illumination. Like everything else, it’s is removable and the compact form factor is thanks to the central power source.
Below, you can see FUSION Reflex Sighting System and 3X magnifier with flip mount. The Reflex Sight is based on Wilcox’s BOSS.
The final component to FUSION is BTAC, a software system which serves as a Blue Force Tracker and fuses data from other Wilcox systems like the RAPTAR-S rangefinder. In addition to a power and data bus, FUSION incorporates a shot counter which can be depicted on the Reflex Sighting System. It can also monitor the temperature of the weapon.
Additional accessories are under development. Wilcox has also developed other versions of FUSION for other weapons like the Beretta ARX160.

SHOT Show 20 – Gerber Doubledown
Monday, January 27th, 2020Gerber launched a LOT of new knives during SHOT Show but the one that stuck out of the crowd is the Doubledown. The overall length is just over 15″ with a 7″ 430HC blade with a glass filled nylon handle.
This Made in USA folding machete features a butterfly design. It’s a beefy, utility blade meant to chop, cut and split wood.
It features a recurved blade, overstrike guard, and stability bar to keep the blade closed during use.
If that wasn’t enough, there’s another fail-safe. Here you can see the Quad-Lock system which not only must be activated to open and close the blade, but automatically locks into place at 45 degrees to prevent injury during closure.
The Doubledown will come with a MOLLE and belt compatible sheath. Available this summer in Flat Sage Green/Stonewash, Black/Stonewash, and Black/Black.
Rheinmetall to Supply the Bundeswehr with Another 1,000 Trucks – Order Worth Almost €400 Million
Monday, January 27th, 2020At the end of December 2019, the German Bundeswehr ordered a thousand logistic vehicles from Rheinmetall worth €382 million, including valued added tax. The order is the third call-off from a framework contract signed in July 2017 encompassing over 2,200 state-of-the-art military trucks, which the Bundeswehr is purchasing as part of its “Unprotected Transport Vehicles” project. Of the thousand vehicles just ordered, 675 have a five-ton payload, while the remaining 325 have a load-carrying capacity of 15 tons. Starting in January 2020, the trucks will be built at the Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles GmbH (RMMV) plant in Vienna, with delivery to be complete by the end of the year.
Featuring a basic military configuration, these robust, off-road-capable vehicles will be available to support the Bundeswehr’s Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF) 2023 mission.
Awarded by the Federal Office for Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) on 5 July 2017, the framework contract, which runs for a period of seven years, encompasses a total of 2,271 vehicles from RMMV’s HX family. As a first step, 558 vehicles were ordered right away. A further call-off of 252 vehicles followed in May 2019, and another 60 in November 2019.
Serving the twin modern imperatives of mobility and security, the Düsseldorf-based technology group is thus playing a key role in the project to modernize the Bundeswehr’s fleet of trucks, which includes thousands of vehicles. Most of the principal components – the engines, axles, transmissions and build-ons – are made in Germany. The vehicles are assembled at the RMMV plant in Vienna.
Particularly when it comes to multinational operations, the global presence of RMMV vehicles offers major advantages with regard to interoperability and logistics. Among others, current user countries include the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark. Norway and Sweden have also placed substantial truck orders with Rheinmetall.
