SIG SAUER Introduces 6.5 Creedmoor Match Grade Ammunition

Tuesday, September 12th, 2017

Newington, NH (September 11, 2017) – SIG SAUER, Inc. extends its Match Grade Elite Performance Ammunition line for rifles with the addition of a 6.5 Creedmoor Open Tip Match (OTM) round. Featuring a 140gr Sierra MatchKing® bullet, this new 6.5 Creedmoor load has a muzzle velocity of 2,625 fps with muzzle energy of 2,142 ft-lbs.

Designed for superior accuracy, the SIG 6.5 Creedmoor Match Grade load performs exceptionally well in wind, thanks to its high ballistic coefficient, delivering a flat trajectory with minimal recoil.

“The 6.5 Creedmoor is one of today’s most popular cartridges with competition shooters and hunters alike,” said Dan Powers, President of the SIG SAUER Ammunition Division. “It is an impressive, flat-shooting round that delivers precision in challenging, windy conditions.”

Engineered to excel in today’s precision rifles, SIG SAUER Match Grade Elite Performance Ammunition uses a temperature-stable propellant that delivers consistent muzzle velocity in all weather conditions. Premium-quality primers ensure minimum velocity variations, and the shell case metallurgy is optimized in the SIG Match Grade OTM cartridge to yield consistent bullet retention round to round. All SIG SAUER rifle ammunition is precision loaded on state-of-the-art equipment that is 100% electromechanically monitored to ensure geometric conformity and charge weight consistency.

All SIG SAUER Elite Performance Ammunition is manufactured by SIG SAUER at its new ammunition manufacturing facility in Jacksonville, Arkansas to the same exacting standards as the company’s premium pistols and rifles. For more information, visit www.sigsauer.com/ammunition.

DSEI 17 – Ops-Core Launches FAST SF Helmet Line

Tuesday, September 12th, 2017

DSEI is the official introduction of the new Ops-Core FAST SF (for Special Operations Forces) ballistic and non-ballistic (carbon) helmets as well as accessories by Gentex.

While they look similar to the Maritime (MT) helmet you’re already familiar with, the only component which is the same is the chin strap.

First off, the new Vented Lux Liner offers 360 deg impact protection. It integrates Vent Holes and a channel for headborne comms which is accessible when you remove the comfort pads. Each helmet comes with three different thicknesses of pads (1/4″, 3/8″ and 1/2″) to allow the wearer to customize the fit.

The new fit band conforms to inner edge of the impact liner allowing the wearer to remove his helmet and still wear comms, unlike the old configuration which required the comms headband to fit between the helmet’s fit band and Lux Liner.

Ops-Core has also introduced a new Universal Nape Pad, referred to as the “whale tail”. The more surface area in a liner, the more comfortable and stable the fit, because it contacts the head in more places. Additionally, it eliminates hot spots. My experience trying the helmet on is that you don’t rely as much on the chin strap for stability.

The new Ballistic Shell reduces helmet weight by 12% over the FAST MT, yet with the same ballistic performance (SOCOM Maritime standard which is Frag resistance plus 9mm at 1200fps). The Appliqué also offers SOCOM-level protection.

Both the carbon and ballistic FAST SF helmets are available with the super high cut which gives you about 1/2″ more space around the ears for comms.

There’s also a new Velcro pattern for both helmets and the vent hole shapes are new on the carbon helmet. This new Velcro pattern is one-size-fits-all. These shapes also offer a low-signature on thermal cameras compared to the old, block shapes. One interesting feature is that the rear Velcro is designed specifically for use with the MOHOC camera.

There’s a new Modular Bungee Shroud which features bungees which come off of the bracket. The new machined Aluminum insert can be removed from the front which allows use of different NVGs without replacing the entire shroud.

You’ll also notice entirely new rails called Super High Cut Skeleton ARC rails. Not only are they lighter, but also more useful. They’ve integrated zip tie holes for cable management along with a slot for counterweights and battery packs. Underneath the rail is the ARC Shim which offers room to attach accessories without taking up rail space. Now, accessories integrate into the ARC, rather than in the slot.

The Low-Profile Mandible snaps into the shim and features fore/aft adjustment as well as a pivoting, vented mouth guard. Additionally, although not shown, there’s a two-piece ballistic appliqué for the Carbon helmet. This design is to leave room for a battery pack, when needed.

The Step In Visor offers a mid point between spectacle and goggle. It leverages the edge of the helmet and can be worn night and day, including with NVGs. The Step In Visor will fit all helmet sizes thanks to the attachment adjustment. Also, the edge gasket can be pulled away when not needed. The replaceable lens is also coated for anti-scratch and anti-fog. Initially, they are offering a clear lens but will soon introduce transition and high contrast lenses.

Although there is a helmet cover available, they did not have one to show at DSEI.

One final point, Ops-Core plans to integrate these upgraded accessories into the other lines but all of the components are backward compatible with all FAST MT, XP and LE as well as the Lightweight Ballistic Helmet.

The FAST SF helmets are available now and accessories will be rolled over the coming months for those of you who want to upgrade your current helmet.

Aimpoint Launches CompM5 Today At DSEI In London

Tuesday, September 12th, 2017

London, England – September 12, 2017 – Aimpoint, the originator and worldwide leader in reflex sighting technology, has announced the addition of the new Aimpoint® CompM5™ sight to their professional product line. Powered by a single AAA battery, and weighing just 147 grams (5.19 ounces), the CompM5 takes its place as the most compact optic in the Aimpoint® Comp™Series family of sights.

Originally created to meet the needs of a specific official end user, the CompM5 is now being offered for sale worldwide as contract commitments and production levels permit. The compact size of the CompM5 was made possible by the sight being powered by a single AAA battery. These small and lightweight batteries are inexpensive and easy to find almost anywhere in the world. Readily available alkaline versions of the AAA simplify logistics, and eliminate the potential shipping hazards inherent in lithium batteries. Like the other Comp Series sights, the CompM5 boasts an extremely long battery life – with over 5 years of constant-on use at intensity level seven.

The CompM5 is fully submersible up to 45 meters (150 feet), and is compatible with all generations of Night Vision Devices, as well as Aimpoint’s professional magnifier line. A military grade optical lens system gives the CompM5 exceptional light transmission and dot clarity, making the sight operationally parallax free, and providing a crisp, clear dot even under magnification.

“The Aimpoint Comp Series has been established as the worldwide standard for military grade reflex sights for over 20 years. The new CompM5 sight provides professional end users the same levels of performance provided by our full-sized sights in a much more compact optic,” said Lennart Ljungfelt, President of Aimpoint AB. “This new product saves size and weight for the operator, with no sacrifice in overall performance.”

INVISIO Announces a New Product Category for Communication in Vehicles

Tuesday, September 12th, 2017

Stockholm, September 12, 2017

INVISIO today announces a new product category for communication in vehicles. The first product announced will be an intercom system that will be commercially available to customers in defense and security in the second half of 2018.

The development of this new innovative product category has been going on for some time and is based on needs and requirements from key customers. The first product within this category will be presented at the important defence and security event, DSEi in London, on September 12-15, 2017.

“This is a step to further strengthen INVISIO’s role as the leading supplier of communications and protection solutions to the world’s defense and security forces. We have close contact with our customers and our innovations are a direct result of interacting with them and understanding their needs. Their experiences and our know-how is the perfect combination for developing a unique solution that is new to the market. We are well positioned in the industry and believe that this new product category over time will provide significant business opportunities for INVISIO, contributing to our journey of continued growth and development,” said Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO, INVISIO.

INVISIO has previously developed a unique and innovative series of communication and hearing protection systems aimed at dismounted users. These different systems have generated great interest and are now sold to a wide range of customers within the global defense and public safety communities, where the need for reliable, safe and easy-to-use products is very high. INVISIO has in a short period of time become the market leader for this type of systems.

With the intercom system, INVISIO’s product offering is expanded to include a full range of products for communication and hearing protection in mounted and dismounted operations.

“With the intercom system, INVISIO is bridging the gap between the dismounted and mounted soldier. Allowing for simplicity, modularity, and flexibility to fit the communication needs of the soldier either mounted in the vehicle or on the go regardless of operational requirements”, said Carsten Aagesen, SVP Sales & Marketing, INVISIO.

The INVISIO Intercom makes it possible for multiple users and radios to be connected simultaneously while using their existing soldier system. Seamless plug and play integration between control units, intercoms, headsets and interface cables are key to the versatility of the INVISIO System, as it allows for deployment of new equipment without the need for updating existing INVISIO Systems. The Intercom is small, lightweight, and highly mobile to establish Intercom anywhere.

Blue Force Gear Focuses On Lightening The Load With Their Innovative Technology At DSEI

Friday, September 8th, 2017

POOLER, Ga., September 7, 2017 – Blue Force Gear®, the designer and manufacturer of the world’s finest weapon slings and tactical equipment, is gearing up to promote its innovative technologies meant to Lighten the Load™ of tactical equipment. Blue Force Gear will highlight tactical equipment that utilizes each of its innovative technologies at the Defense and Security Equipment International (DSEI) show at ExCeL, London from Sept. 12-15.

Blue Force Gear is built on innovation, always looking to elevate tactical equipment and gear across the industry. Through the introduction of the Helium Whisper® Attachment System, MOLLEminus, ULTRAcomp® and Ten-Speed®, Blue Force Gear continues to revolutionize the way tactical gear is made.

The MicroTKN!™, the smallest version of the Trauma Kit NOW!™, utilizes Ten-Speed technology with its outer MOLLE or belt mounted pouch. The MicroTKN! is designed to hold essential lifesaving medical supplies in a small, easy-to-carry pack that takes up minimal space and carries a low profile. The kit currently is offered in three options: basic, advanced and unfilled.

Blue Force Gear strives to lighten the load for tactical operators with its innovative technologies and newest tactical equipment. The PLATEminus Plate Carrier utilizes MOLLEminus, a revolutionary load carriage platform that is fully MOLLE compatible. Being the lightest plate carrier on the market is just one example of how Blue Force Gear’s innovative technologies are changing the way load carriage systems are designed.

“We are dedicated to innovation and always introducing the best products we can to our customers,” said Stephen Hilliard, Director of Product Development of Blue Force Gear. “We’re really looking forward to everyone seeing our next generation of gear and all that Blue Force Gear has been up to in 2017.”
