Enforce Tac 23 – Benchmade Claymore
Thursday, March 2nd, 2023
Designed as a replacement for the long serving AFO, the Claymore is lighter, thinner, and faster opening.
Also an automatic opener, they’ve improved the blade steel to CPM-D2 and moved the pocket clip for deep carry. Additionally, Benchmade moved the safety and enlarged it to make it easier to manipulate.
If all that wasn’t enough, it’s also cheaper than the AFO.
The Claymore has been issued NSN 1095-01-796-1907.

It features zippered shoulder pockets on either arm, two zippered lower chest pockets, and pit zips for ventilation.

Enforce Tac 23 – Rheinmetall Squad Support Weapon 40
Wednesday, March 1st, 2023
Rheinmetall is exhibiting their Squad Support Weapon 40, a semi-auto, box-fed 40mm Grenade launcher. It fires Rheinmetall’s new programmable medium velocity rounds as well as legacy low velocity rounds. These rounds can be programmed for airburst and include:
HE Fragmentation (HEFRAG16)
Anti-Tank (HEDP16)
Door Breaching (HEBE14)
Air Burst (HEAB)
Training (TPM, TPM-T)
Illumination / Fog
Sound & Flash and Stimulus Ammunition (CS)
While we see a 5 round magazine, there is also a 3 round magazine under development which sits flush with the bottom of the pistol grip. Additionally, a 10 round magazine is under development. The weapons weighs about 4 kg.
This is the programmer which is the same one they are using for high velocity 40mm rounds fired from the Mk19 and HK GMG. It programs the round via IR.
With the US Army poised to release the Precision Grenadier System requirement, the SSW40 will surely be a contender.
