Norotos Dual Dove Tail Adaptor – PVS 14

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

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.

Rapid Diver

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

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.

N-Vision Optics Releases NVAT at SHOT

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

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 AimpointÂ® 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 AimpointÂ® 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 canâ€™t attend, check out the video at: www.nvisionoptics.com/twistmountvideo/.

Total Visibilityâ„¢ Tape from Cyalume

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

We recently ran across a little known product from Cyalume, makers of chem-lights called Total Visibility Tapeâ„¢. It is both reflective as well as glow in the dark. Naturally, you must charge it with white light before use. The tape is also self adhesive and can be used to mark pretty much anything.
