SHOT Show – Elzetta/IWC Offering New Light Collaboration

Thursday, January 29th, 2015

In the stuff we missed at SHOT Show category are these new lights from Elzetta/IWC.

Elzetta Design, LLC is pleased to announce our collaboration with Impact Weapon Components in developing the new Mini-CQB Modular Weaponlights. Based on Elzetta Alpha technology, the new Mini-CQB delivers 315 lumens of diffuse neutral-tint light in a beam pattern optimized for close quarters battle engagements. The Mini-CQB is available with any of six Tailcaps (Rotary, Click, Alpha High/Low, High/Strobe, or Tape Switch with 5″ or 12″ Cable). It is also available with two ambidextrous attachment mechanisms; M-1913 Picatinny or Keymod/M-LOK. The Keymod/M-LOK system fits both mounting systems by utilizing the patent-pending reversible nuts in one direction for Keymod and flipped for M-LOK. The Mini-CQB Weaponlights join Elzetta Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie Modular Flashlights as The Toughest Flashlights on the Planet, featuring fully-potted electronics and solid-acrylic optical lenses (no reflectors). Mini-CQB Weaponlights start at $210 MSRP with deliveries beginning in April 2015. Like all Elzetta products, Mini-CQB Weaponlights are Made in USA with a lifetime guarantee.

SHOT Show – Princeton Tec – Helix Lantern Series

Wednesday, January 28th, 2015

Princeton Tec introduced the Helix series of lanterns. Regardless of which of the two sizes, the accordion-style globe sits atop collapsible legs.

The larger Basecamp is offered in three models; the basic variant, rechargeable or top-of-the-line Bluetooth. All three offer 250 lumens with the basic model utilizing 4 x AA batteries and the Bluetooth being rechargeable and controlled via smart phone. The Rechargeable can be powered by 3 x AA alkaline batteries or lithium rechargeable pack. The smaller Helix Backcountry is only 150 lumens from 3 x AAA alkaline batteries.

All Helix lanterns offer integrated white and red lamps.

SHOT Show – Ops-Core

Wednesday, January 21st, 2015

This is the new Lux Liner for the FAST Base Jump and Carbon. It’s a drop in replacement for the legacy liner and replicates what has already been transitioned into the Maritime andBallistic FAST helmets.

Meets ACH spec for impact, offering greater comfort and stability. Additionally, the removable pads don’t get hard in the cold!

The biggest question I get about Ops-Core is when the RAC headset is coming. How’s this for you? 2nd Quarter, 2015. It works and ready to go.

First off, it’s now just called RAC and no longer RACS. It’s still your best bet for true 3D hearing relying on binaural audio. Additionally, you can change the noise-canceling boom mic from side to side. Finally, the gimbal attachments allow for custom ear seal on almost every head shape. Below, you can show it in stored mode.

Finally, Ops-Core showed me a new low profile mount by TangoDown for the SureFire helmet light. It holds the light much closer to the rail than other versions.

Arisaka Defense Releases New 300 Series Scout Compatible Light Body

Tuesday, December 30th, 2014

Apex, NC, December 30, 2014 – Arisaka LLC is pleased to announce the release of its new 300 Series Light Body.

The 300 Series Light Body is designed as a streamlined replacement for Surefire ScoutLight M300 bodies. It is manufactured without the mounting interface for the stock Picatinny clamp. This greatly increases the clearance for front sights when used in combination with the KeyMod and M-Lok Arisaka Inline Scout Mounts on handguards with 45 degree mounting surfaces adjacent to the top Picatinny rail, such as the BCM KMR, KAC URX4, and Geissele SMR MK8.

The 300 Series Light Body is compatible with all E1 series and Scout Light M300 series tailcaps and heads. It will also fit in any aftermarket Scout mount, as it retains the mounting holes and square lug interface on the underside of the light body.

It is also possible to build a complete light from scratch by sourcing a Surefire or aftermarket light head, and a tailcap or tape-switch.

The 300 Series Light Body is manufactured out of 6061 aluminum, type III hardcoat anodized, and made entirely in the USA.
