Dynamic Principles – Cantable Magazine Pouches

Monday, September 16th, 2024

Dynamic Principles is proud to announce the release of our Cantable Magazine Pouches.

The Cantable Mag Pouch was designed to combine the ergonomics and customization of competition style magazine pouches with the duty grade retention and signature of what we consider to be the absolute gold standard: Esstac KYWI inserts sourced directly from Esstac. These pouches allow you to precisely dial in the ride height, cant angle and spacing of each magazine pouch to tailor your belt setup to be most mechanically efficient for you.

These pouches must be combined with either our Direct Attach Hardware Kit (to directly attach to standard ELS and blade tech hole pattern belts and mounts like the Baer Wojtek Belt) or the “ADAPT” series of mounting kits from Guardian Warrior Solutions (to be mounted to 1.75″ or 2″ belts or 3″ Molle). These provide a mounting solution that is much more durable than one wrap while maintaining zero vertical or horizontal slop between the belt and pouch.

These will be available initially in double stack 9mm and 5.56 versions.

Primary Arms Optics Releases New GLx 1x MicroPrism

Monday, September 16th, 2024

HOUSTON, TEXAS — Primary Arms Optics has announced the release of the GLx® 1x MicroPrism, a compact and versatile prismatic optic built for optimal close-quarters performance without being affected by astigmatism. Designed as an evolution of the popular SLx® MicroPrism, the GLx 1x MicroPrism offers a range of improvements that make it the ideal solution for shooters seeking precise and fast target acquisition.

Priced at $299.99, the GLx 1x MicroPrism brings several new advancements to the table, including a larger objective lens that provides a wider eye box and improved light transmission. The GLx 1x MicroPrism has nearly unlimited eye relief, allowing users to engage targets effectively from a variety of shooting positions, including non-traditional or awkward angles. This makes it a fantastic alternative to traditional red dot sights, especially for shooters looking for a more rugged and precise solution without the drawbacks of a battery-powered reticle. With 8 mounting options included in the package, users have extensive flexibility to customize the optic’s height and placement on their firearm, ensuring a perfect fit for any setup.

Available in both red and green illumination options, the etched ACSS® Cyclops reticle ensures precise aiming, even for those with astigmatism. Like its predecessor, the GLx 1x MicroPrism has a long battery life, which is further improved by AutoLive® technology. However, this new optic now features low-profile push-button controls, replacing the traditional knob design for a sleeker, less obstructive peripheral view.

“The GLx 1x MicroPrism shows our commitment to innovation and customer feedback. By upgrading the glass, enhancing durability, and providing intuitive controls, we’ve delivered a prism optic that is faster and more precise at any distance,” said Stephen Morgan, Director of Product Marketing at Primary Arms Optics. “For everything from personal defense to competition shooting, the GLx 1x MicroPrism delivers top-tier performance in a compact package.”

Rheinmetall Expands Cooperation with ICEYE and Obtains Exclusive Rights to Distribute SAR Satellites to Germany and Hungary

Sunday, September 15th, 2024

Rheinmetall and ICEYE, the global leader in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite operations for Earth Observation, are expanding their cooperation. The two companies signed a teaming agreement to this effect.

As part of this agreement, Rheinmetall will integrate ICEYE capabilities into their next generation battlefield systems. In addition, Rheinmetall and ICEYE are pursuing joint opportunities in several markets globally, including Germany and Hungary, where Rheinmetall now has exclusive rights to distribute ICEYE SAR satellites to military and government end-users under this agreement.

Armin Papperger, CEO Rheinmetall AG: “The space domain is an integral part of a defence strategy and of great relevance to our military clients. We are convinced that our combined capabilities will enable us to develop innovative approaches to offer customized solutions for our military customers in the future.”

In June 2024, the Düsseldorf-based technology group had already announced its participation in the world’s largest fleet of radar reconnaissance satellites. In this way, Rheinmetall aims to make space-based reconnaissance data usable on the tactical battlefield.

SAR satellites offer the advantage over conventional satellites that they can generate high-resolution images regardless of weather conditions or time of day. These are very detailed and make even the smallest objects on the earth’s surface identifiable. This can bring decisive advantages for the armed forces in terms of surveillance, target acquisition, reconnaissance or their own positioning on the battlefield.

The PROOF is in Greg Hamilton and Sean Murphy’s Third Consecutive Win?

Sunday, September 15th, 2024

PROOF Research®’s Greg Hamilton and KGM Suppressors’ Sean Murphy take home the coveted Real World Sniper Finale award from the grueling two-day competition held at the YO Ranch in Kerr County, Texas.

(L to R) PROOF Research’s Greg Hamilton and KGM Suppressors’ Sean Murphy with the 2024 RWSC Final 1st Place Award.

Columbia Falls, Mont. (September 2024) – For the third consecutive year, PROOF Research®’s Greg Hamilton, and Sean Murphy of KGM Suppressors, take home the highly coveted 1st place skull trophy from the Real World Sniper Finale held Aug. 31 – Sept. 1, 2024, at the YO Ranch in Kerr County, Texas.

The finale is an invite-only for competitors from prior Real World Sniper Challenges (RWSC) and top teams from the 2024 USASOC and International Sniper Competitions, as well as several teams fielded by the USMC Scout Sniper Association. These elite competitors included teams from the Army Special Forces, Army Rangers, Army National Guard Snipers, and the USMC Scout Snipers. The course requires teams in top physical and mental shape as it demands various challenges and tasks that snipers in real-world scenarios might face. Competitors dealt with unknown positions, targets, and target distances. Each stage required a different strategy for the team, testing speed, precision, teamwork, and working with limited information. In addition, marathon targets provided support with their robotic targets adding to the general chaos.

Sean Murphy took the primary shooter position with his AI AT-X with a PROOF Research carbon-wrapped pre-fit barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor. Greg Hamilton shot as secondary with a 6.5 Creedmoor 20” stainless PROOF Research barreled gas gun. Murphy also carried an extra 5.56 carbine with an 11.5” PROOF Research carbon-wrapped barrel.

“Like in real-world conditions, you have to carry in everything you will need for the two-day event,” Murphy explained. “Your guns, supplies, water, ammo, anything you will need you have to carry throughout the challenge on the ranch, including during some of the timed movements. When it was all said and done, we had covered ten miles on foot with our guns and all of our gear. It really is a serious competition that will test the metal of any hard-core sniper competitor. We are extremely honored to have again won this RWC Finale for a third year in a row.”

PROOF Research is a well-known brand within the precision rifle community and is one of the leading barrel brands used by champion competitors in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS) and National Rifle League (NRL). Developed to enhance mission success for our warfighters, PROOF Research’s carbon fiber barrels are designed for long-range accuracy, performance, and reliability under any environmental condition.
