The sight’s battery-free reticle system enables accurate, fast, and instinctive firing at all times without the need to turn the sight ON; even if the sight is switched to OFF or has no batteries, its light-collecting fiber- optic and a tritium capsule ensure full day and night reticle availability.

Developed based on IDF requirements, the MEPRO sights has been designed with a 30mm diameter lens to ensure easy and rapid target acquisition with both eyes open; it effectively supports instinctive close-range firing in urban and CQB conditions, as well as shooting at longer distances in open- terrain operations, while under harsh environmental conditions and combat stress.

The MEPRO MOR sights features a unique simultaneous zeroing mechanism for all its aiming devices; zeroing can be conveniently performed day or night while saving time and ammunition.

Golan Kalimi ,S.V.P. Sales & Marketing – Defense – stated: “The MEPRO MOR sights is a result of successful collaboration with the IDF and has been actively utilized by diverse forces globally, including India, for several years. In this vast country, the system’s ability to endure challenging conditions, such as extreme heat and humidity, and support users in remote locations holds tremendous significance. We take immense pride in its continued operational deployment by the IDF, where it has consistently demonstrated outstanding performance in all environmental conditions. The recently secured contract with the South American state serves as further validation of the MEPRO MOR sights unwavering reliability, as it continues to garner trust from various armed forces across the world.”

Unity Tactical Brings USB-C Capability to Weapon-Mounted Lights and Switches

Friday, September 8th, 2023

New LINK™ USB-C System and GASCAP™ USB-C Tailcap provide near-zero-loss output
BROUSSARD, LA. (Sept. 8, 2023) – UNITY™ Tactical, a designer of components that integrate tactical systems and optimize the human factor, announced the launch of its LINK™ USB-C System today. This system includes GASCAP™ – a LINK USB-C Tailcap for SureFire® Scout®-style weapon lights – and the addition of LINK USB-C capability to three of its existing lines of modular electronic switches. This system marks a paradigm shift for switching technology, bringing USB-C capabilities to weapon mounted lights and switches that will expand future capabilities.

The robust performance of the LINK System interface provides near-zero-loss output and dependable, repeatable activation. The lateral and reversible interface on the GASCAP provides a variety of mounting and cable management options, while its cage protects the cable and ensures a solid lockup. GASCAP features an onboard full-size latching button for momentary or constant activation of your device.

“USB-C technology offers a wealth of benefits to support UNITY’s next generation of switching and integration,” said Mike Roth, VP of business development for UNITY Tactical. “It’s compact, lightweight, highly durable and its reversible connector yields added convenience. This technology increases the capability and versatility of all our lines of AXON™, AXON SL and ModButton™ Lite switches.”

Made of high-impact polymer, GASCAP™ weighs nearly one ounce less than other available tailcaps. Its superior strength-to-weight ratio means it’s durable in even the most severe environments. It is waterproof up to one meter for 30 minutes with or without a cable installed.

The LINK™ System will initially be offered with GASCAP™ and within UNITY’s AXON, AXON SL and the Modlite ModButton Lite switch portfolios, with future switching innovations and product expansions to come.

“The LINK System challenges the conventions of how switching has been done for the last several decades,” said Trent Zimmer, founder and president of UNITY Tactical. “USB-C technology not only advances performance in the near-term, but also standardizes integration points, opening the door for future connectivity and developments.”

GASCAP is initially available for SureFire Scout-style weapon lights in black or FDE. It retails for $109 and will be available for purchase in Oct., along with LINK USB-C variants of AXON, AXON SL and ModButton Lite switches, through authorized UNITY dealers and on UNITYtactical.com.

The LINK System, including GASCAP and associated switches, will be on display for the first time at the UNITY Tactical booth #H8-226 at DSEI at the ExCeL London from Sept. 12-15.

Brinyte – Finding a Groundbreaking Hunting Light for Your Shotgun

Thursday, August 31st, 2023

Introducing the Brinyte T28 Hunting Light ,3-in-1 Center Axis Rotational Color LED module with LED Position Detent Lock. To put it simply, you can effortlessly choose any of the 3 colors (such as Red, Green, or White) by gently turning a knob. Your selected LED color will then securely stay aligned along the central axis of the light body and the spherical lens.

Why is the ‘center axis’ such a crucial factor, you might ponder? Well, firstly, if the LED isn’t precisely aligned along the central axis of the spherical lens, it won’t achieve its utmost potential in terms of light output (measured in LUX). Depending on how far off-center the LED is, it could also create anomalies or distortions in the light beam, which might impact your field of view when peering through a scope. Nevertheless, the primary rationale for having selectable and repeatable center axis alignment comes into play when you mount your light onto your scope. When dealing with a conventional, single-colored LED that’s centered within the light, you’d adjust the windage and elevation so that the light sits at the center of the scope’s field of view (and consequently aligns with your crosshair).

For those requiring special light, the Switch RGB is feature-rich, extremely lightweight, and offers unmatched versatility. Now equipped with two light models: IR + RGB or White + RGB Ultrabright LEDs, users can now determine which version best matches their specific needs.

The IR version starts in IR mode, and users press and hold to get into the color mode. There are two levels of intensity of IR light, and only one intensity level of the colored light (high).

Designed to mount to various helmet rail systems, with the versatility of the MPLS mounting options, the Switch RGB MPLS can be secured to virtually any kit configuration.  Smart and tough, the lights feature the flexi-neck design, allowing the user to direct light where it’s need, regardless of the angle of the point of origin. The flex boom and housing design feature an improved design to make the Switch even more durable. With ease-of-use was kept top-of-mind, the white mode requires a two-second button press to be turned on to avoid accidental activation. Users can set and change the order in which the colored LED’s appear upon activation, for a truly customized performance.
