UF PRO Striker X BDUs to Be Available in Italy’s Acclaimed Vegetato Camo Pattern for Mediterranean Environments

Thursday, March 31st, 2022

TRZIN, SLOVENIA (31 March 2022)—Maker of advanced-technology tactical garments UF PRO today revealed it will begin producing its popular Striker X Battle Dress Uniform in the Italian camouflage pattern Vegetato.

The three-piece Striker X BDU consists of Striker X Combat Pants, Striker X Combat Shirt, and Striker Gen.2 Boonie Hat. All three will be available in Vegetato; however UF PRO said it intends to make only a limited number of each in that pattern.

Vegetato was introduced in 2004 for use by Italian military units operating in the Mediterranean Basin. According to UF PRO, the Vegetato pattern provides effective concealment in virtually any semi-arid or subtropical environment dominated by small trees and dense shrubs.

UF PRO said it expects that its offering of the Striker X BDU in Vegetato will prove to be a winning maneuver.

Each of the three Striker X BDU pieces is in its own right a victory, the company added. For example, the Striker X Combat Pants represent new thinking about how combat trousers are designed and built to provide the ruggedness, knee protection, and pocket configurations required by today’s military operators.

The Striker X Combat Shirt is similarly beast-like in its ability to survive abuse thanks to its Lyocell/polyamide-knitted fabric construction and abrasion-resistant ceramic dots reinforcement.

In addition, UF PRO noted, both the shirt and pants are exceptionally comfortable. So is the Striker Gen.2 Boonie Hat, which features mesh ventilation openings front and back to allow the free circulation of air around the head while the sun beats down.

Looking Past the Memes and Abominations: What is Armslist?

Thursday, March 31st, 2022

If you’re a firearms enthusiast, chances are you have heard of ARMSLIST. In fact, with more than 2 1/2 million users and over 1,300 registered FFL dealers involved, chances are you’ve probably also been on their website.

If not, you’ve almost certainly seen pictures or memes of the strange and terrible guns that appear for sale there.

Needs a scope and a couple of Remington 870 bayonets.

But beyond the entertainment value, how much do you actually know about it?

So What Is ARMSLIST?

It is a private online marketplace, but it doesn’t actually sell firearms. Instead, it works virtually with a huge network of registered FFL dealers to put a wide range of guns in front of prospective gun owners.

This allows people in the United States to list items for sale online, communicating safely, securely, and because you’re working directly with FFLs, you’ll be legally buying with very low risk of scams or fraud. Whether you’re a dealer, manufacturer, or individual gun owner, Armslist provides you with an alternative to auction sites and has drastically lower fees, and zero commission fees.

ARMSLIST has guns and gear, accessories, blogs, and reviews on hundreds of products you’d be interested in owning, all while conducting business easily and legally, with accountability on both sides of a transaction.

Buying or Selling

The main thing to know about buying a gun on the website is that you don’t need an account to buy a gun. As a non-subscriber, you can still purchase from the ARMSLIST network of over 1,300 FFL dealers. However, having an account opens up new possibilities for you.

They offer two different account types, the Premium Vendor account and the Personal account. Each account is adjusted to the seller’s needs, which provides options that many online companies don’t offer.

ARMSLIST Legal Defense Fund

They also help maintain the ARMSLIST Legal Defense Fund that fights to protect the 2nd Amendment rights of all Americans, focusing on issues regarding the internet. Armslist also provides up-to-date news articles about guns, gun laws, and opinionated articles to educate the public on matters affecting the 2nd Amendment.

Armslist strongly encourages anyone interested in selling or buying guns to try armslist.com immediately. But… if you’re not interested in buying or selling products, you can always support our Legal Defense Fund. Your participation there helps ensure the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans are not taken away.

Are you interested in learning more? Visit REFactorTactical.com or visit ARMSLIST.com.

You can also find them on Youtube, Gab, and Twitter.

Major Order from Hungary: Rheinmetall to Supply a Comprehensive Array of Ammunition Worth Several Hundred Million Euros

Wednesday, March 30th, 2022

A reliable supply of modern ammunition is a mainstay of national and alliance defence. The Hungarian Ministry of Defence has contracted with Rheinmetall to supply an extensive package of ammunition worth several hundred million euros. The order encompasses ammunition for infantry fighting vehicles, main battle tanks, artillery, and decoy systems. Delivery is starting in 2023 and is to be complete by 2031. Most of the ammunition will be manufactured in Hungary.

The package includes three variants of 30mm x 173 ammunition; 120mm tank ammunition; and 155mm artillery shells including propelling charges and fuzes. On order also are 40mm and 76mm decoy cartridges for the Rosy and Maske smoke/obscurant systems, plus 12.7mm and 7.62mm ammunition.

The procurement of this extensive array of ammunition constitutes a further important step by Hungary – a member nation of both NATO and the EU – in the modernization of its armed forces. The new ammunition will also boost interoperability with the armed forces of Hungary’s partner nations.

“We are extremely honoured that Hungary has once again entrusted us with the task of modernizing its military”, declares Rheinmetall chief executive Armin Papperger. “We’re delighted to be cooperating with our Hungarian friends in another key military capability.”

The order just issued makes Rheinmetall one of the Hungarian military’s top suppliers of ammunition. The Düsseldorf-based Group will be supplying ammunition for Hungary’s three main ground combat systems: the Leopard 2A7+ main battle tank, the PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzer and the new Lynx IFV. Hungary set the process of modernizing its army into motion in 2020 when it ordered 218 Lynx infantry fighting vehicles from Rheinmetall. These state-of-the-art tracked vehicles will replace the country’s aging fleet of Soviet-era systems.

Viewing Hungary as a domestic market, Rheinmetall plans to rely on in-country industrial capacity. In Zalaegerszeg in western Hungary, one of Europe’s most advanced military vehicle plants is now under construction, where the first Hungarian-built Lynx is due to roll off the assembly line in 2023.

The new order underscores Rheinmetall’s role as one of Europe’s foremost makers of ammunition for NATO and other European armed forces. The Group’s portfolio ranges from infantry and medium-calibre ammunition to tank cartridges and mortar and artillery shells, including propelling charges and decoy cartridges.
