Introducing The Benelli Armi S.p.A. M4 A.I. Drone Guardian

Tuesday, August 13th, 2024

Modern warfare scenarios show the massive use of small FPV (First Person View) drones, piloted by quadcopters with individual visors and remote controls, attacking enemy troops on the ground, either directly or by firing anti-personnel grenades from above at squads of soldiers below, causing many casualties.

This new scenario paves the way for the first time for the use of the 12-gauge #shotgun in combination with 4/0 buckshot type #ammunition, creating a large enough swarm at distances of 50m or more to easily shoot down the drone at close range.

This is a ‘last resort’ defense that effectively saves the soldier’s life and is not feasible with pistols or assault rifles.

Benelli Armi S.p.A. – one of the world’s leading shotgun manufacturers whose products are in service with government, law enforcement and military users in more than 90 countries around the world- has developed a specific line for this critical application:

The Benelli M4 A.I. Drone Guardian

A.I. stands for “Advanced Impact” a patented system of larger and longer cone inside the barrel able to improve capability to hit targets at longer distance compared to standard shotguns and with a deeper penetration.

Fountain Valley, CA—SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest—and most innovative—illumination tools and tactical products, is proud to announce the latest version in the Stiletto series of handheld lights, the Stiletto Pro II.

Stiletto Pro II Features:

• Fits easily into a pocket or pack; can be drawn quickly for fast activation in an emergency or for everyday tasks

• Primary switch activates 1,500-lumen high, 500-lumen medium and 25-lumen low output for a wide variety of tasks

• Tactical tail switch instantly activates high output; switch can be programmed for momentary activation with optional tactical strobe or click for constant illumination

• Integrated USB-C rechargeable lithium polymer battery is environmentally friendly and reduces operational cost

• LED Fuel Gauge allows easy tracking of battery charge/discharge status

• Melonite-coated, spring steel pocket clip can be positioned for bezel-up or bezel-down carry

Sunday, August 11th, 2024

East Lansing, Michigan, August 8, 2024 – GiantMouse is proud to announce the latest edition to our ACE Line of unlimited knives. The Bleecker is GiantMouse’s refined take on the slim “gentleman’s” folder. This modern, sleek framelock captures the distinctive design ethos that our customers have come to expect from the Danish design team at GiantMouse. Its compact profile allows it to effortlessly slip into your pocket and remain discreet until needed – ready to handle any cutting task your day demands, whether you are at home, in the office or out in the field.

Continuing our tradition of drawing inspiration from historic and diverse neighborhoods, hotels and dive bars during our travels, the Bleecker is named after Bleecker Street in Manhattan.

Just as Bleecker Street is a vibrant and eclectic artery of Greenwich Village, known for its historic charm and bohemian spirit, the Bleecker knife embodies these qualities with its stylish and modern design. It’s low profile and practical, making this knife ideal for any situation.

Bleecker Street runs through the heart of Greenwich Village, a neighborhood renowned for its lively night scene and artistic legacy. This street has been a major artery of American bohemia and a hub for cultural movements, making it a fitting namesake for our newest knife design. Bleecker Street is synonymous with creativity and counterculture. It was a main stomping ground for the Beatniks and the ’60s Folk music revival. Legendary music venues such as Terra Blues, The Red Lion, and The Bitter End continue the creative legacy represented
by Bleecker Street.
