German Armed Forces Call Off Another 30,000 Intercom Sets with Hearing Protection Function from Rheinmetall

Wednesday, September 4th, 2024

The German Bundeswehr has commissioned Rheinmetall to supply a second batch of the intercom with hearing protection function – SMG (Sprechsatz mit Gehörschutzfunktion) for short. The troops are to receive a further 30,000 sets, divided into 8,000 command SMGs and 22,000 soldier SMGs. Delivery is scheduled to begin in mid-2025 and be completed by the end of 2025. The order is worth around €55 million net. An initial call-off for the delivery of 30,000 sets was already issued in April 2024. Both delivery batches will be financed from the special fund.

In April 2024 Rheinmetall has been been commissioned by the Bundeswehr to supply up to 191,000 sets of the “intercom with hearing protection function”. The framework contract has a seven-year term and a potential order volume of up to €400 million net. The SMG is a key project for tactical communications which is of cross-sectional importance for the entire force.

The intercom with hearing protection function includes modern active capsule ear protection that attenuates harmful impulse noise and amplifies quiet sounds. It also has a microphone and can be connected to various radio devices so that radio communication is possible. In addition to the combined headset, the scope of supply includes various push-to-talk (PTT) buttons and different cable sets for connecting to a range of radios and on-board communication systems. Rheinmetall has involved two leading manufacturers as subcontractors for the project: 3M Deutschland GmbH with the ComTac VIII headset and CeoTronics AG with CT-Multi PTT 1C and 3C. The SmG is compatible with the Rheinmetall-supplied new combat helmet as well as with other Bundeswehr helmet types.

This order of the second batch underlines Rheinmetall’s leading role in the field of military equipment. The technology company is the prime contractor for the System Infantry Soldier of the Future – Expanded System to the Bundeswehr. Rheinmetall markets various configurations of its Gladius soldier system internationally.

Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024

Columbus, Miss. (September 3, 2024) – APEX Ammunition is pleased to announce its partnership with Canuck Guns for distribution of its award-winning shotshells throughout Canada. Canuck now has APEX Waterfowl Blends and S3 Steel loads in stock in 12- and 20-gauge.

“Canuck Guns is proud to partner with APEX Ammunition to bring the very best in custom loaded hunting shotshells to Canada,” said Phil O’Dell, President, Canuck Guns. “I personally used their ammunition for my Royal Slam offive different wild turkey subspecies in 2023. It took exactly five shells. This ammo simply works like no other. APEXhas long known Canadian hunters have wanted the best ammunition, and we are honored that they chose Canuck as their national distribution partner for Canada.”

“As the APEX brand has grown, so has the demand for our product from our northern neighbors who are as passionate about hunting as we are,” said Jason Lonsberry, President and CEO, APEX Ammunition. “We are pleased to partner with the Canuck Guns team to ensure more Canadian hunters have access to our line of handcrafted ammunition through their local dealers and outfitters.”

APEX Waterfowl TSS-S3 Steel Blend shotshells arehandcrafted “duplex” loads that offer the best of both worlds, combining APEX’s premium, zinc-coated S3 Steel pellets with ultra-high density Tungsten Super Shot for a harder-hitting payload and improved terminal performance to reduce crippling.

APEX Waterfowl S3 Steel ammo features premium zinc-plated steel to ensure consistently round pellets with anti-corrosion properties and superior patterning performance. The zinc coating reduces friction, resulting in more consistent pellet drop when loading the shotshells and better movement of the pellets against each other in the firing process. The S3 Steel Waterfowl loads also use the same Tungsten-grade wad system found in APEX’s iconic Turkey TSS shotshells. The combination delivers lethal patterning, maximum barrel protection, and unmatched shot-to-shot consistency in a steel load.

Canadian Dealers and Outfitters who are interested in carrying APEX Ammunition shotshells may contact Canuck Guns at Dealer Inquiries.
