Granted, it’s not very Marine, but it’s poignant nonetheless.

Probably the Coolest Thing at Modern Day Marine
Friday, September 30th, 2016MDM – Geissele Automatics Bayonet Mount
Thursday, September 29th, 2016The M-4/16 has a bayonet lug just below the barrel due to a requirement that it has the ability to mount a bayonet. Unfortunately, that lug gets in the way when you want to use an extended handguard.
When Geissele was developing their submission for the cancelled M-4A1+ RFI, they decided to develop this Bayonet Mount which attaches to a Picatinny rail section at the bottom of a handguard.
This frees up a lot of real estate.
MDM – ArmorWorks Is Back!
Wednesday, September 28th, 2016After a brief hiatus, ArmorWorks is back in the market actively supporting several prime contractors with seating and armor systems both here and abroad.
Right now they are concentrating on the vehicle market, manufacturing seats for armored vehicles along with vehicle armor, including metal composite armor. However, they’ve got a long history of PPE development behind them they can reach from, based on customer requirements.
MDM – Name This “Accessible Under Armor Trauma Kit” Contest from Phokus Research Group
Wednesday, September 28th, 2016Phokus Research Group developed this Dual Zipper Under Armor Deployment version of the Sons Traima Kit for those units who need to be able to access the components of their medical items. In addition to the ability to maintain the kits when items expire, the dual zipper also allows units to update their components with new items. It still fits in the late pocket of the Armor Vest so they’ve also introduced a split seam so the items stay in place.
It’s a great product, but the name is a mouthful and more of a nomenclature than a cool name. I suggested Phokus allow the SSD readers to name it. So here’s your shot to be a marketing genius. Phokus will reward the best name, judged by them, two fully loaded versions of this kit as well as two Shield kits.
To enter, follow these rules:
1. In the comments section of THIS, and only THIS, article on SSD, share your proposed name. Only entries here are eligible to win. Of more than ine person submits a name, the first use gets credit for it.
2. Comments are open from now until 1600 Zulu on 30 September 2016 (that’s this Friday at High Noon Eastern Daylight Time).
3. Use any alias you want to post but be sure to use a valid email address since that’s how we’ll contact the winner.
4. Phokus Research Group will select the name from the comments we receive.
5. One entry per email address. We will delete entries that violate this policy.
6. Must be 18 to enter. Void where prohibited.
By the way, Phokus products are available for unit and agency purchase from ADS Inc.
MDM – Juggernaut.Case BUMPR
Wednesday, September 28th, 2016This is the upcoming BUMPR Android S6/7 case from Juggernaut.Case. You’ll also see it for the iPhone 6/7. It is a low cost / low frills alternative for those who do not require full environmental protection and external radio connectivity.
This is the rear of the BUMPR.
They’ve also created a QD USB-A Juggernaut cable which allows recharge from within the case for those who don’t need a Glenaire cable.
These are the dust caps which facilitate use of the charging cable.
This shows you the difference between the BUMPR and a fully ruggedized Juggernaut.Case.
MDM – Berry Compliant Pouch for Magpul D-60 Magazine
Wednesday, September 28th, 2016Earlier this year Magpul came out with a MOLLE compatible pouch for their D-60 Drum Magazine. Immediately, customers started asking for a Made in USA version. Magpul listened and made it happen. Look for these very soon.
If You Ever Wondered About A Secret Cabal Steering The Destiny Of The Firearms Industry, This Could Be It!
Wednesday, September 28th, 2016When I see these four guys talking with each other at Modern Day Marine, I think of the famous quote from Ghostbusters about Old Testament type of stuff, “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!”
What a great bunch of dudes.
