G9 Defense .308 Win 145gr Barrier Blind Solid Copper Hollow Point

Friday, June 14th, 2024

Post Falls, ID. – (June 11th, 2024) – G9 Defense premium defensive ammunition, is pleased to announce the .308 Win 145gr Barrier Blind Solid Copper Hollow Point ammunition. The Barrier Blind Solid Copper Hollow Point from G9 provides exceptional barrier penetration, great expansion and 18? of penetration with nearly 100% of weight retention. Compared to other offerings on the market, the G9 Barrier Blind Hollow Points stand out in common barrier penetration and demonstrates zero to minimal deflection through windshields, car doors and big game animals’ bones.

The .308 145gr Barrier Blind Hollow Point is a non-lead alternative that performs better than traditional lead-based projectiles. By design, any traditional hunting bullet is going to result in exposing game meat to lead, and lead fragmentation appears in nearly every game carcass where the projectile expanded. The BBHP is compliant with CA law and can be used anywhere that hunting with lead is prohibited.

Thanks to state-of-the-art CNC manufacturing, the reliability of the G9 .308 145gr is exceptional.

Upon contact with intended target the BBHP opens to 2x to 2.5x the size of the bullet, producing a consistent 18” wound track every time. Nearly 100% weight retention and predictable penetration make this round ideally suited for hunting or defense. Due to the nature of CNC manufacturing, reliability far exceeds traditional jacketed hollow points. In conventional ammunition, the jacket often separates from the core spoiling any chance of uniform terminal performance. This is not the case with G9’s machined solid copper projectiles. The three petals open and do not fold over beyond maximum expansions during terminal impacts. The machined solid copper hollow point with cut fracture points represents the current pinnacle in hollow point technology.

The G9 Defense 145gr .308 Win is also available with Alpha Brass. Their Optimized Case Head Design (OCD) far exceeds performance standards typically associated with cases. Their innovative technology is combined with industry leading manufacturing standards and the result is second to none. Their elevated level of performance combined with uncanny consistency, makes their brass the obvious match for our .308 Win Barrier Blind solid brass projectile line. Expect single digit standard deviations and next level accuracy. Learn more about Alpha Munitions at www.alphamunitions.com

G9 .308 145gr Barrier Blind Specifications:

– Caliber: .308 Win

– Bullet: 145gr Copper Solid

– Velocity: 2950 fps (24” barrel)

– Packaging: 20-count box

MSRP: $58.99

UNITY Tactical Expands FAST Modular Accessory Suite With FAST PRO Clamp

Friday, June 14th, 2024

FAST™ FTC OMNI Updated for Additional Compatibility with Holosun™ Magnifiers
BROUSSARD, LA. (June 14, 2024) – UNITY™ Tactical, a designer of components that integrate tactical systems and optimize the human factor, announced an existing product update to the FAST™ FTC OMNI and a new accessory addition to its FAST Modular Accessory Suite.

The FAST FTC OMNI, which flips the magnifier to center for stowage, has been updated to now also accommodate Holosun™ HM3X and HM3XT magnifiers. Originally launched in 2022, the FTC OMNI was previously compatible with various magnifiers from EOTECH®, Sig Sauer®, Trijicon® and Vortex®.

The FAST Modular Accessory Suite now also includes the FAST Pro Clamp, which replaces the two-bolt rail clampallowing a SureFire® Pro light body to attach directly to the side of the mount. The light body can rotate up or down on the clamp for preferred placement.

The Pro Clamp is primarily designed to replace the two-bolt rail clamp on RAXIS™, allowing the end user to mount their light up front next to the laser, which is positioned on top of the rifle. In this use case, the light can fold up into the open pocket directly between the B.E. Meyers® MAWL® and the handguard.

“We focus on even the smallest details so that UNITY products give you an edge,” said Mike Roth, VP of business development for UNITY Tactical. “The FAST Pro Clamp is a small piece that fills a need for a specific use, but as part of the larger FAST ecosystem it broadens the capability and versatility of our mounting solutions. Expanding the FTC OMNI to also include compatibility with Holosun magnifiers does the same.”

The Pro Clamp will also attach to any FAST mount using a two-hole clamp. It must replace the FAST QD Lever, making it incompatible. This is primarily helpful on shorter handguards, such as a PDW where rail space is at a premium. In such cases, users can also utilize the Pro Clamp to mount a KIJI™illuminator using a SureFire Pro body.

The FAST Pro Clamp is made of 7075-T6 aluminum that is type III hardcoat anodized. It is available only in black and includes a lifetime warranty. It retails for $59 and is available for purchase now through authorized UNITY dealers and on UNITYtactical.com.

Bundeswehr Orders Another 1,515 Military Trucks from Rheinmetall out of Special Fund within Framework Contract – Order Value Over €920m

Thursday, June 13th, 2024

Rheinmetall has been commissioned by the Bundeswehr with a further delivery of 1,515 logistic vehicles, 265 of which are protected swap-body systems. This is another call-off from the framework contract for swap-body systems (WLS) signed in June 2020. This large-scale call-off is largely financed by the Bundeswehr’s special fund. In addition to the vehicles, the Bundeswehr’s procurement agency, BAAINBw, ordered 500 swap-body platforms to serve as interchangeable load carriers and 500 tarpaulin / roof bow setups. The call-off is worth over €920m gross. Delivery of the vehicles will take place in the second half of 2024 and will be completed by mid-November 2024.

“The extensive call-off from the framework contract, financed by the special fund shows the high relevance of Bundeswehr logistics in the conection with the turning point. By delivering all vehicles by the end of 2024, the special fund is helping to directly equip and strengthen the logistical capabilities and sustainability of the armed forces,” explains Michael Wittlinger, chairman of the management of Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles GmbH. “With over 4,000 vehicles delivered since 2018, our HX-series military trucks are now an essential component of the Bundeswehr’s logistical capabilities and underline the importance of Rheinmetall for logistics.”

In June 2020, the BAAINBw concluded a framework contract with Rheinmetall until 2027 for the delivery of up to 4,000 trucks with swap-body systems, of which 1,008 have already been delivered. The swap-body trucks join the successful project of Unprotected Transport Vehicles, or UTFs, and expand the Bundeswehr’s fleet of vehicles from the military HX family. The swap-body system’s core equipment is the hook-loader developed by Hiab. It can lift and set down the swap-body carriers in the Bundeswehr in virtually any type of terrain with no need for additional handling equipment. As an alternative, the vehicles can carry a swap-body platform or a container via a standardised 20-foot ISO interface. 

A large share of the swap-body trucks for the Bundeswehr will feature an armoured cab, substantially enhancing crew survivability and sustainment as well as the tactical flexibility of logistic units and formations. Swap-body trucks are used primarily for supplying combat formations with bulk consumables such as ammunition, fuel and water.

Both the swap-body systems and UTFs are based on Rheinmetall’s robust HX family of vehicles. Designed from the outset for military use, they assure excellent mobility even in rough terrain. Moreover, the widespread presence of the HX family offers major advantages in terms of interoperability and logistics, particularly during multinational deployments. At present, the user nations include, among other nations, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Austria, Hungary and Denmark. Together with the Bundeswehr and the armed forces of Germany’s partners, Rheinmetall is eager to continue writing the ongoing HX vehicles’ success story. 

GiantMouse GMF1-XL Wins Best Imported Fixed Blade

Thursday, June 13th, 2024

East Lansing, Michigan, June 12, 2024 – GiantMouse is proud to announce that the new GMF1-XL, which launched last Thursday, has been awarded the prestigious “Imported Fixed Blade of the Year” at the 2024 Atlanta Blade Show. This accolade marks yet another significant achievement for GiantMouse, following our GMF4 taking “Best Factory Fixed Blade” at Blade Show West last October, and the GMX taking “Overall Knife of the Year” last June in Atlanta.

Building on the legacy of our beloved GMF1, the GMF1-XL is the much-anticipated larger version that you have eagerly awaited. The GMF1-XL offers the same exceptional ergonomics and utility as its predecessor but steps things up with increased size and enhanced features, making it a formidable companion for all your everyday carry needs. This model maintains the sleek, compact nature of the original GMF1, but boasts a larger blade and handle, as well as handle scales in either brass or green canvas Micarta for improved functionality and grip. The lanyard hole at the back and a strategically placed front hole not only provide a better grip but also add to the knife’s artistic appeal that GiantMouse is known for. For those who prefer a skeletonized handle, the scales can be easily removed, allowing paracord to be wrapped through the holes for a custom, tactical look.

The entire GiantMouse team extends a heartfelt thanks to our supporters and Italian manufacturers for their unwavering commitment to excellence. “This award is a testament to the passion and craftsmanship that goes into every GiantMouse knife,” said GiantMouse CEO Jim Wirth. ”We are deeply honored to be recognized once again and remain committed to delivering top-quality products that our customers can rely on.”

The recognition of the GMF1-XL as the Imported Fixed Blade of the Year at the 2024 Blade Show is a proud moment for GiantMouse and an affirmation of our pursuit of innovation and quality. We are grateful for the continued support from our community and look forward to bringing more exceptional knives to your pockets.
