SOUND Foods New High Calorie Lightweight Combat Rations

Friday, January 26th, 2024

SOUND is committed to improving combat effectiveness by both increasing caloric intake and reducing the size and weight of the warrior’s battle load. SOUND has invented an entirely new way of quickly and gently forming food products using only ultrasonic energy, or sound waves. This ultrasonic agglomeration process allows for the creation of a calorically dense bar (300 Calories, 50 g, 6 cal/g) with great taste and texture.

SOUND bars have been approved by the Department of Defense (DOD) for the first generation Close Combat Assault Ration (CCAR) which is scheduled to replace the First Strike Ration later this year as well as by the Joint Services Operational Rations Forum (JSORF) for the larger Meals Ready-to-Eat (MRE) program.

SOUND has relaunched its direct-to-consumer products as DOWN RANGE Mission Ready Bars with a focus on offering the exact products developed for the U.S. warfighter directly to the American consumer. Headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, the company operates with a commitment to helping people get through their day whether during military operations or everyday life.

SOUND has partnered with S.O.Tech / Special Operations Technologies Inc of Carson, CA, an innovator in military survival and medical systems and Bridgford Foods, a leading provider of Ready to Eat combat ration sandwiches. SOUND’s DOWN RANGE bars will be on display at SHOT Show in SOTech’s booth 20059 and SOUND CEO Don Dillon will be at the booth on Tuesday, January 23rd and Thursday, January 25th from 1PM to 3PM. The DOWN RANGE bars will also be on display at Bridgford Foods’ booth 42052.

SOTECH Debuts Their Springnose Taser 10/7 Holster, Airborne Cobra and Light Infantry Suspension System

Friday, January 26th, 2024

SOTech will be unveiling an array of new product designs at SHOT Show this year. We’ve spent the better part of 2023 conducting field tests and interviewing soldiers from the 82nd ABN, Ranger Regt, Special Forces and 25th ID developing our Light Infantry Suspension System, Airborne Cobra Pack, and medical systems. These tests are culminating in review by the Army over upcoming months. The LISS supports ensembles including rifleman, medic, leader, SAW gunner, grenadier and breacher which will be on display. The jumpable arrangement of the Cobra pack and our new series of scrim and ruck covers will also be shown. Come by booth 20059 to check them out, and if you can’t make it to SHOT, check them out in our catalogs at: sotechtactical.com/pages/catalogs US Patents and Patents Pending

After dominating the soft-shell market for Axon Tasers for 25 years, SOTECH launches its first plastic holster. Rather than adopting a pistol holster to a taser, SOTECH designed the Springnose TM around the features and requirements of both a Taser 7 and Taser 10. We worked closely with LAPD Training Division to absorb their requirements and lessons learned. We came up with a holster design that encompassed these features:

• Accessed with either strong hand or weekhand draw.

• Slim body design takes minimal space on the belt.

• Downward and rearward draw eliminates accidental weapon misidentification.

• Compressing taser against spring plate and rotating rearward provides quick draw.

• Extra retention strap with thumb snap is removable, and sewn semi rigid.

• Secondary weapon release provided by thumb depression of top hook.

• Officer can screw adjust to forward, vertical, or rearward cant.

• Officer can rearrange holster to right or left-hand wear.

• Field repairable as bottom cap is removable for access to spring compartment.

• Belt clip secures with unique inverted buttons.

• Belt clip fits 2 ¼ patrol belt and inner clip fits dress belts.

• Made in USA and US Patented and Patents Pending.

Thursday, January 25th, 2024

PORTLAND, OR, – GERBER GEAR is honored to announce five new and one reassigned U.S. Government National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for its products. With these additions, Gerber now has a total of 55 NSNs available through the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

The Gerber Center-Drive Rescue offers uncompromising performance through revolutionary design, now with a one-hand access to a safety rescue hook for immediate egress utility in an emergency. Made in Portland, Oregon with a lifetime warranty, the innovative center-axis driver opens to align like a real screwdriver, yielding maximum torque and rotation. No productivity is sacrificed with a 2.5″ internal partially serrated blade and one-thumb opening sliding jaws. The Center-Drive Rescue is available in Black with a Black MOLLE Sheath (NSN: 5110-01-714-0798) or Black with a Coyote Brown Berry Sheath (NSN: 5110-01-714-0797).

The real world is the truest measure of success, or failure. From the base to the field and back safe again, the Center-Drive Rescue helps you overcome the challenges you face.

The American-made Gerber DoubleDown Folding Machete is a tool that delivers never-before-seen function with an innovative design. Folding up to half its size, the DoubleDown is easily stowed in a MOLLE-compatible sheath. The unique design allows the user 3 distinct functions in one compact package: chop, cut, and baton. The DoubleDown is available in Black/Black with a Coyote Brown Berry MOLLE Sheath (NSN: 5110-01-716-1515), Stonewash/Black with a Black MOLLE Sheath (NSN: 5110-01-714-2346), or Stonewash/Green with a Black MOLLE Sheath (NSN: 5110-01-716-1514). The Quad-lock system is both safe and intuitive, with a built-in stop for added safety. This hybrid tool is proudly made in the USA and is backed by Gerber’s lifetime warranty.

Every Gerber product has a story to tell. The story of the Gerber LMF II is one of resilience and resourcefulness. This knife is rugged and versatile, with a partially serrated blade that is a full 3/16” thick. The MOLLE-compatible sheath includes a built-in blade sharpener. The American-made LMF II was originally designed to free aircrew from a downed aircraft and is tough enough to cut through the fuselage while being smart enough to ensure you are safe while doing so. The knife has a purposeful break between the tang and the striking pommel, providing insulated protection against stray wires and absorbing any shock from hammering. This Gerber rescue/survival knife is now the reference product under legacy NSN 7340-00-098-4327 and is backed by Gerber’s lifetime warranty.

Exploration defines the American experience-defying odds, pressing onward, and defining innovation. Since 1939, Gerber has developed problem solving, lifesaving knives, tools, and equipment in the Portland, Oregon facility-pioneering an industry and honoring a heritage. Local ingenuity and American spirit collide within these walls where iconic products are born, tested, and shipped worldwide. Gerber guarantees everything they make, because they know you seek value and durability in the gear you choose to carry.

Unity Tactical Unveils Integrated Magnifier at SHOT Show 2024

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2024

New FAST™ FTC 4X is the first integrated magnifier on the market

UNITY™ Tactical, a designer of components that integrate tactical systems and optimize the human factor, unveiled the market’s first integrated 4X magnifier at SHOT Show 2024. The FAST™ FTC 4X brings the magnifier up to the established FAST height of a 2.26″ optical centerline from the rail. Integrating the mount with the optic shaves weight, increases strength and ensures streamlined functionality with no occlusion of the primary optic when stowed.

“Since launching our FAST line in 2019 we’ve aimed to expand the optic compatibility of our mounts so that discerning professionals and enthusiasts alike can benefit from an ergonomically correct heads-up posture,” said Mike Roth, vice president of business development.

Designed for use with a red dot optic mounted at the same height, the FAST FTC 4X provides ultimate picture clarity, utilizing the dot in the primary optic as the aiming reticle. This allows the shooter to quickly shift between non-magnified (stowed) and magnified (deployed). The magnifier can be mounted on multiple weapons platforms behind a red dot sight or used as a hand-held monocular.

The optical glass provides a clear and durable sighting solution while UNITY’s FTC (flip-to-center) technology allows for easy stowage when not in use. The magnifier has a field of view at 100 yards of 30.1 feet or 9.2 meters. Eye relief is 2.6 inches or 67 mm.

“We’ve built an optic of exceptional quality that comes standard with our industry-leading FTC technology, which reduces size, weight and cost by eliminating the need to purchase a separate optic and mount,” said Trent Zimmer, founder and president of UNITY Tactical. “This brings even more options to the customers of our FAST line. The FAST FTC 4X expands capability within the traditional 3x footprint all the while providing near-zero occlusion when paired with FAST height optics.”

The FAST FTC 4X will come standard in black with a FAST QD Lever and will be available for purchase in 2024. It is on display for the first time at the UNITY Tactical booth #61503 in the law enforcement ballrooms at SHOT Show 2024 now through Friday.
