Law Enforcement Training for Force-On-Force Readiness with Laser Ammo’s Shot Body System

Monday, August 18th, 2025

GREAT NECK, N.Y. – August 13, 2025 – Laser Ammo USA Inc. is proud to offer its Shot Body System (SBS), a wearable sensor system specifically designed for force-on-force scenarios, active shooter simulations and decision-making shooting exercises. Individuals or teams can utilize the system to strengthen problem-solving skills in realistic situations, providing opportunities to practice advanced gun handling skills, communication and tactical movement under stress. As the only wearable tactical solution that enables professionals to train against live adversaries, Laser Ammo’s SBS provides superior law enforcement training by replicating real-world scenarios.

Laser Ammo took the traditional military MILES system and made it more affordable, user-friendly, and easier to operate for law enforcement and security teams who are simulating force-on-force scenarios. The wearable system consists of six sensors for placement anywhere the user wants to target (back, front, head, limbs, etc). Programmable lasers allow users to color-code sensor hits with up to five different colors to reveal shooter identification and shot placement. When the laser interacts with a body sensor, it detects up to three hits and visually identifies each one by the shooter’s assigned color. This immediate visual feedback allows users to assess and refine techniques, such as entry, choice of cover or injury severity in real time.

“Laser Ammo is proud to offer the Shot Body System to law enforcement agencies, military units and security contractors,” said Colin Gallagher, Laser Ammo’s Lead Law Enforcement & Military Specialist. “The system is engineered to allow professionals to experience complex, high-stress scenarios in a safe and controlled environment. This technology gives them the opportunity to receive feedback that will further refine and strengthen their skills in the field.”

With the SBS, Laser Ammo continues to lead the way in providing advanced training solutions that elevate law enforcement safety, performance and readiness. This innovative system transforms tactical training by helping officers build muscle memory, sharpen tactical coordination and effectively prepare for real-world scenarios.

Laser Ammo recommends pairing the Shot Body System with Laser Ammo’s recoil enabled training firearms for a more comprehensive threat response experience. There are a variety of laser configurations designed to allow multiple weapon combinations. To learn more about Laser Ammo’s law enforcement training or to speak with a member of its law enforcement team, visit LaserAmmo.com/professional-groups/law-enforcement.

The Shot Body System is available to purchase for an MSRP of $1,500.00.

DroneShield Showcases Next-Gen Counter-Drone Tech to DHS Leadership

Thursday, July 31st, 2025

DroneShield presented proven capabilities and next-generation technologies to address surging drone threats at America’s borders and critical sites to U.S. Department of Homeland Security

July 30, 2025 – Warrenton, Virginia – DroneShield, a global leader in counter-uncrewed systems (CUxS) technology, proudly participated in a demonstration hosted by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Unmanned Technology Operations Center in Summit Point, West Virginia, on July 24, 2025. The event convened DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, senior DHS officials, and CUAS solutions providers, highlighting the Department’s urgent focus on addressing the escalating drone threats to national security.

This event followed closely behind a recent U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, where Steven Willoughby, Director of the DHS Counter-UAS Program Management Office, highlighted the growing danger drones pose. He testified:

“Nearly every day, transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) use drones to convey illicit narcotics and contraband across U.S. borders and conduct hostile surveillance of law enforcement.”

Secretary Noem, a vocal advocate for expanding CUAS capabilities, emphasized earlier this year during a Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs hearing that:

“United States Coast Guard (USCG) tasks require every cutter to be equipped with CUAS technology.”

Secretary Noem further reinforced this urgency in a recent social media post, stating:
“We’re in the middle of a weapons-technology revolution—and our enemies know it. Drones are now being used to smuggle deadly drugs, target our infrastructure, and spy on U.S. defenses. We must be ready.”

During the demonstration, Secretary Noem met with the DroneShield team and received a briefing on its field-proven counter-drone technologies. These systems have been actively supporting Ukraine’s CUAS efforts since the start of the conflict and continue to evolve to meet a broad spectrum of emerging threats. With more than 11 years of exclusive focus on CUAS technologies, DroneShield has long been an advocate for securing U.S. borders and critical infrastructure from the risks posed by uncrewed aerial systems.

“Never before have we seen such alignment and sense of purpose across all levels of the Department of Homeland Security,” said Matt McCrann, CEO of DroneShield LLC. “The whole-of-agency approach on display at Industry Day demonstrates DHS’ intent to address the surging drone threat with speed, unity, and effectiveness.”

With drone threats steadily rising and impacting U.S. borders, airports, stadiums, and emergency responders, DroneShield remains committed to supporting national security with advanced, mission-ready CUAS capabilities. DroneShield’s solutions are purpose-built and engineered to be simple to train, easy to use, and quick to deploy, giving teams a decisive edge when seconds matter.

“As drone threats continue to evolve rapidly, it is essential that the U.S. and its allies have ready access to trusted, combat-proven countermeasures,” added McCrann.

Tom Branstetter, Vice President of Business Development and Sales at DroneShield, commented, “This demonstration reaffirmed DHS’ focus on taking decisive steps forward – and we’re proud to contribute our expertise and solutions to support that mission.”

ICE Renews P320 Contract Through July 2027

Tuesday, July 29th, 2025

Despite reports to the contrary, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is not banning use of the SIG P320. In fact, according to documents obtained by Soldier Systems Daily, the agency signed a contract extension this week which is valid through 19 July, 2027.

ICE first adopted the P320 in February, 2017 for an initial five-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract which had a provision for additional option years. Previously, ICE had optioned two of those years and with this extension, uses another two.

Based on the P320 PRO, the ICE pistol’s full model number is W320CA-9-BXR3-PRO-DHS with a DHS serial number and standard slide catch (the inline PRO model uses the extended slide catch).

The pistol is also available as an ICE approved individual officer purchase through Proven Outfitters as the W320CA-9-BXR3-PRO-DHS-APP.

Update: now that the story is out, SIG has issued a press release with this statement:

“SIG SAUER is honored to continue supporting ICE in their duty to protect America and preserve national security and public safety,” said Steve Rose SIG SAUER Executive Vice President, Defense Strategies. “ICE agents work tirelessly to safeguard our nation and deserve the most tested and proven sidearm by their side – we firmly believe that is the P320.”

SK Guns Supports International Association of Bomb Technicians & Investigators

Sunday, July 27th, 2025

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – July 24, 2025 – SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, supported the 53rd International Association of Bomb Technicians & Investigators (IABTI) International In-Service Training and Expo (IIST) through its SK Gives Back initiative.

The expo took place June 22 – 27 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. As part of the event, SK Guns donated the #053 Solo Lobo (translated: “Lone Wolf”) pistol chambered in .38 Super. This custom-engraved firearm was auctioned off to raise funds for the IABTI during the convention. The funds raised help bomb technicians and investigators across the world be as educated and effective as possible.

“It can’t be overstated how dangerous the life of a bomb technician can be. Training and education for these members of our military, law enforcement and first responder communities is absolutely vital,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “We are proud to use our SK Gives Back initiative to support the IABTI and help fund the research and training programs they work on throughout the year.”

The IABTI IIST is the premier global event for bomb technicians and investigators to refine their skills and network with other international experts. The event provided attendees with a new perspective on the industry, access to career pathways, research and professional development opportunities.

“We are so grateful to Simon for his kindness and willingness to help the IABTI conference, which helps facilitate well needed training to bomb technicians around the world,” said Scott Wright, St. Johns County deputy and explosive ordnance disposal technician.

SIG SAUER Responds to Call by Florida Lawmaker to Ban P320 in State

Thursday, July 24th, 2025

Florida State Representative (R) Danny Alvarez penned an Op-Ed for Florida’s Voice entitled “Florida must prioritize safety: The case for ending law enforcement use of the Sig Sauer P320 pistol.” He bases this opinion on anecdotal evidence, the FBI Ballistics Lab Report, and the Air Force Global Strike Command’s safety stand down following a fatality earlier this week.

SIG SAUER responded by sending the following letter to Law Enforcement agencies in Florida. We have obtained a copy and the entire letter can be downloaded here.

The entire episode caught us off guard but we share it because we are located in Florida and we have received repeated feedback that SIG is not defending the pistol from the onslaught of online criticism. The letter is the most succinct and complete response we have seen from SIG on the issue.

The letter is respectful yet asserts their position on the P320. It states in part:

SIG SAUER is in direct contact with Representative Alverez and will continue to maintain an open, respectful, and direct dialog. While we respect Representative Alvarez as both an individual and elected official, we reject his assertion that the P320 poses an undue risk to Florida’s law enforcement community. We strongly disagree with his position, accusations, and inaccurate statements. His statements, while heartfelt, are misguided, misinformed and fueled by rhetoric as opposed to facts.

The letter goes on to address Rep Alverez’s concerns and then finishes up with:

The P320 cannot, under any circumstance, discharge without a trigger pull. Lawsuits with claims that the P320 is capable of firing without a trigger pull have been dismissed in twelve (12) separate federal district courts, including a decision by a unanimous eight (8) person jury. In addition, five (5) other lawsuits against SIG SAUER regarding the P320 with different liability theories have also been dismissed. Plaintiffs’ own experts have abandoned their theories that the P320 can discharge without a trigger pull after not being able to replicate it. Further, plaintiffs’ own experts have repeatedly admitted under oath the P320 cannot discharge without trigger actuation – in direct contradiction to Representative Alverez’s accusations.

and…

SIG SAUER has always and will continue to put the safety and security of the law enforcement community, the U.S. Military and our consumers first. We stand by Representative Alverez’s desire to increase the safety of public officers; however, a P320 ban does not accomplish that goal. Part of fielding safe firearms – regardless of type or manufacturer – requires extensive education and training at every level and are open to working with Representative Alverez on fact-based solutions.
