Designed as a replacement for the issue PVS 14 rhino arm adapter, the Dual Dovetail Adapter attaches to the PVS 14 and allows it to connect to any mount accepting a dove tail style socket such as the PVS 15, 18, and 21. It features a shut off mechanism, moisture resistant construction to prevent electrical shorts, and flips around to accommodate right or left eye use. I checked it out at SHOT Show. Good stuff.
You can order the adapter directly from Norotos.

It almost seemed like the proverbial fish out of water, a mannequin in tactical diver dress amid a veritable sea of guns and camouflage. Nestled between OTB Boots and Watershed MTP, the Rapid Diver Tactical 2.0 system from Zeagle offers a compact diving rig to the tactical community. While it is much more than just an emergency diving rig, it is well suited to that task. It is lightweight and features a small chest mounted bottle to make it easier to navigate tight spaces. Additionally, the tank can be refilled from other tanks. The design was optimized for rapid donning and fits a wide variety of body sizes. The BC also integrates MOLLE webbing. It is an excellent option for use as a back up rig or for operations where dive capabilities may be needed for emergencies.
For more information please contact Sub Sea Tactical.

At Shot Show 2009 N-Vision Optics will introduce a back-up iron sight compatible NVAT (Night Vision Adapter for TwistMount) which is an adapter that enables the rifleman to easily switch between his Aimpoint® 3 x Mag or Concealed Engagement Unit (CEU) and the AN/PVS-14 night vision monocular. NVAT Adapters allow for the AN/PVS-14 night vision monocular (or compatible) to snap on directly to the Aimpoint® TwistMountâ„¢ Base in place of the 3XMag or CEU. N-Vision is offering two models: the NVAT, compatible with all back-up iron sights, and the super light weight low profile NVAT-LT. Mounts are made in the USA out of aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum and Mil-Spec hard coated (Type 3, Black). They will be conducting live demonstrations at N-Vision Optics’ Booth number 9542. For those of you who can’t attend, check out the video at: www.nvisionoptics.com/twistmountvideo/.

215 Gear has developed a family of retention lanyards used to secure the wearer to a fixed point like say, a helicopter floor, and one of these new lanyards is like no other on the market. The Frog style utilizes a Frog carabiner which in the climbing world serves the same purpose as utilizing dual carabiners. Additionally, it is easier to use than a standard carabiner or pelican clip (snap shackle) because it closes automatically when in contact with an anchor point. The Frog style lanyard comes with one end fitted with a snap shackle and the other end with a Frog fitting. The snap shackle connects to the first line belt or harness and the Frog carabiner to the anchor point. Manufactured from Mil-Spec 1†tubular is rated to 4,000 lbs with eight, 42 stitch bartacks on each running end, the Frog is rated to 26 KN (approximately 5,850 lbs).
215’s retention lanyards currently come in four varieties to suit a wide range of requirements but they are already working on a specialist design for aircrewmen.
For more information contact 215 Gear or to order contact Grey Group Training.
