The Scout Light Pro

Monday, January 20th, 2020

Fountain Valley, CA—SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest—and most innovative—illumination tools and tactical products, is proud to announce the all-new Scout Light Pro series of WeaponLights. SureFire’s legendary Scout Light® WeaponLights have proven themselves in combat around the world. Our new Scout Light Pro family builds on this success with an integrated next-generation mounting system that offers the ultimate in versatility for long gun weapon light users.

Every Scout Light Pro features our new Low-Profile Mount (LPM), allowing the user to mount their light as close to the weapon no matter the rail or configuration. The LPM affords tremendous flexibility when used in conjunction with a variety of rail profiles or accessories; simply pivot the WeaponLight body to allow optimal light positioning, then lock it down securely with any flat blade screwdriver or multi-tool. All Scout Light Pros will ship with both a MIL-STD-1913 mount as well as an M-LOK® mount.

Scout Light Pro models feature recoil-proof LEDs that deliver intense white light or a combination of white light and infrared illumination. Focused through our proprietary TIR lens, they produce a far-reaching, high-intensity beam with ample surround light. On IR models, choosing between tactical white light and infrared illumination is as simple as rotating the bezel. Our rugged, shrouded Z68 push-button tailcap switch comes standard on all Scout Light Pro models and can be easily replaced with any of the remote-activation switching solutions available for our fixed-mount Legacy Scout Light models.

Constructed of lightweight aerospace aluminum, Scout Light Pros have no appreciable impact on weapon handling characteristics. And with a Mil-Spec Hard-Anodized finish and O-ring seals to keep out the elements, they can endure the harshest conditions. Like previous generations of SureFire WeaponLights, the new Scout Light Pro will help you prevail in combat.

Sure, there are loads of guns and accessories at SIG Range Day but the Wall Of Donuts remains a favorite.

SIG Range Day – TYR Tactical Armors Hendrick Motor Sports STEED

Monday, January 20th, 2020

Hendrick Motor Sports Silent Tactical Energy Enhanced Dismount, in my opinion the most impressive improvement to small unit mobility since the mule, is now even better.

The STEED remains capable of improving mobility and load carriage for the squad. This electric cart has zero emissions and can carry up to 500 lbs over complex terrain at speeds from 0-6.5 mph. STEED will even climb stairs and can be used in water.

But now it is armored thanks to TYR Tactical. They’ve armored the motor underneath and developed a kit to mount a level IV Ballistic Shield. The shield adds 43 lbs to the front of the STEED which they’ve offset with a soft container for ammo crates at the other end.

SIG Range Day 20 – Smart Shooter

Sunday, January 19th, 2020

Israeli company Smart Shooter demonstrates their SMASH system mounted to a SIG M400 carbine. SMASH is a small arms fire control system that combines a thermal imager and algorithms to acquire a target, lock on to it and then effectively engage it. Once the target is selected and locked, you keep it in your sight picture and depress the trigger. The weapon will knot engage when a proper firing solution is found. Using it, I was able to easily engage moving targets out to 200 meters.

Seen here is the trainer version on a generic stick which is used to show new shooters how to use the system. Thanks to the thermal camera, it can be used in day or night. Additionally, the sight picture can be shared with others via C4 systems.

The system can be used to designate and Additionally, SMASH has been used to engage drones with M4 carbines.

SIG CEO Ron Cohen told me that they are going to work with Smart Shooter in the future and introduce some of their technology into the system such as BDX.

This system makes the average shooter more accurate and can be used for individual precision shots out to 300m. Naturally, you don’t have to use it if you need to engage multiple targets at once.

Sunday, January 19th, 2020

SIG has introduced a Direct Impingement version of their 716 rifle in .308 to the Tread line.

It is very similar to the SIG rifle selected by the Indian Army last year.

It includes a Adjustable Magpul SLK Stock, Free-Floating M-LOK Handguard, 16” Precision Barrel and Ambidextrous Controls.
