Brigantes Presents – Brigantes Issue Essentials

Wednesday, March 4th, 2020

Each week we bring you products that should be on all military standard issue kit lists. This week it’s the Deuter Alpine Guide 35+ in Multicam.

The Deuter Alpine Guide 35 in Multicam suits the needs of operators in the mountain environment.

Using the Deuter Alpine, X-Frame back system the pack is one of the most stable and comfortable packs to carry. The lid is extendable to accommodate expanded loads and allow for ropes or other pieces of hardwear. In order to maximise functionality it has a long side opening zip, which allows you to access the full body of the pack without disturbing the load under the lid or having to completely empty the pack.

The hip belt is removable and uses the Vari-Flex system, which enables it to move with you when moving thereby improving comfort and performance. A double pull waist belt gives secure adjustment and the sternum strap helps the load to remain in the right place on your shoulders.

The pack comes with a removeable sit mat and is compatible with hydration bladders up to 3 Litres. The sides of the pack provide ski loops and the front of the pack has points for two ice axes.

Overall this is the pack for mountain operations. It has long been the go to pack for people working in the mountains and is the only option for the military mountaineer.

The Deuter pack can be delivered to the UK and Europe through our website at brigantes.com/collections/deuter

B&T USW-Chassis for CZ P-10 F and C

Monday, March 2nd, 2020

The success of the B&T USW as well as the B&T USW-G Chassis has stirred the interest to have this innovative and accurate system also available for other popular pistols. B&T is happy to fulfil these demands with the introduction of a USW Chassis for the CZ P-10 F and the CZ P-10 C.

The USW-P10 conversion kits are the ultimate add on for the CZ P-10 F and the P-10 C. They offer the operator the choice of using the pistol in the traditional way as well as with the built in folding stock, while the transition only requires less than a mere second. Due to its elaborated design, the operator can mount an optionally available red dot sight on top of the chassis and use the original open sights as back up.

B&T RBS Reduced Backpressure Suppressor

Monday, March 2nd, 2020

As sensible as the use of silencers is in police and military applications, the escape of the retained gases from the ejection port is irritating for the shooter and has disadvantages in combat. B&T successfully solved this problem as early as 2013 when designing the MP9 suppressor with the invention of the low-pressure expansion chamber. Since the gases ejected backwards when firing a large numbers of shots with assault rifles or machine guns make it difficult for the shooter to breathe, B&T has now transferred the principle of the low-pressure expansion chamber to suppressor’s assault rifles and machine guns. The RBS suppressor significantly reduces the combustion gases ejected from the ejection window. The low-pressure expansion chamber only minimally increases the size and weight of the silencer compared to conventional silencers, while muzzle flash and noise are suppressed similarly well as with the proven B&T suppressors.

The RBS is available in calibers 5.56 (.223) and 7.62 (.308) each in a direct mountable version for various muzzle threads as well as with a newly developed quick release fitting all NATO A2 muzzle flash hiders.

B&T Announces Telescopic Stock for MP5

Monday, March 2nd, 2020

Despite its advanced age, the HK MP5 is still in use by many police agencies worldwide. As part of the Mid-Live-Improvement, many users have upgraded and retrofitted the weapon in recent years with B&T parts (handguards, optical mounts, etc.). At the same time, various authorities have repeatedly asked B&T for a well thought-out telescopic stock. Since B&T offers such a telescopic stock for its own APC, the request was gladly granted. The new B&T telescopic stock for the MP5 is convincing in all areas. It is up to 62 mm shorter than known shoulder rests when inserted, it can be pulled out immediately without using a lever and it has 3 locking positions for optimal adaptation to the shooter and its equipment. In addition to these improvements, B&T has also succeeded in reducing the weight of the shoulder stock to 495 g, which is between 21 % and 47% lighter than comparable shoulder stocks.

Impuls-OLS Pistol Suppressor from B&T

Monday, March 2nd, 2020

The product was especially designed for military users because for some missions, every gram of weight makes a difference. The Impuls-OLS™ pistol suppressor in 9 x 19 mm has been designed for minimum weight and excellent noise reduction. The Impuls-OLS is the same length but still more than 110 grams lighter than the standard Impuls-IIA™. The Impuls-OLS™ is a very good choice not only for military or police users but also for civilian users. It has been tested to be both reliable and effective with many different types of pistols.

According to customer requests, the Impuls-OLS is available with many different thread sizes and therefore can be used with basically every standard pistol. The Impuls-OLS™ is available in a standard length and in a compact version.
