S.O.Tech: Medical Delta Omega Compression Insert

Wednesday, February 28th, 2024

An IFAK Pouch that Masquerades as a Rifle Mag, Grenade, and Radio Pouch

In 2023 we perfected our Delta Omega pouch which has been described as an all-encompassing pouch, but it started as a medical pouch combined with a rifle magazine pouch. We were expanding our MARCH medic belt set and found that some of our Special Forces Medics were dropping pre-packed med modules into rifle magazine slots and pouches. So, we expanded our Delta Omega pouch to accept our compression IFAK sleeve insert which is an advancement over our V.I.P.E.R IFAK insert.

We also have medical tool elastic loop trays called OrgBoards that drop into the pouches making this a highly versatile pouch system. As a dedicated IFAK we prefer our new Compressed VIPER Flat IFAK which can be closed and worn as a vertical draw or open as a horizontal sleeve on your lower back.

The option to switch between the full flap and the elastic speed draw cord arrangement gives the medic the option to personalize the draw. As a set of pouches, the Delta Omega and compression insert, or Org Board trays give an incredible array of carriage options. For those interested in an IFAK that can be worn vertically with mag pouches or horizontally on a belt, check out the S.O.Tech Compressed IFAK.

MSRP: $68.00

Product Code: MOP-CRI-MC

Advancing Co-Witness Capabilities: IWI Introduces Its Latest Offering – The Micro Folding Battle Sight (MFBS)

Wednesday, February 28th, 2024

The MFBS delivers high durability, saves space on the rail, and presents an especially comfortable operating experience

28 February 2024: IWI – Israel Weapon Industries – a member of the SK Group (founded by Mr. Samy Katsav), and a global leader in the production of combat-proven small arms for military, police, law enforcement agencies, and governmental entities around the world, has unveiled its new Micro Folding Battle Sight.

IWI’s MFBS represents a unique design which addresses the challenge of combining co witness back up iron sights with higher reflex sights alongside various accessories on the picatinny rail. It is specifically developed to conserve the valuable space on the rail without compromising the availability of back-up sights, thus ensuring weapon reliability and functionality whenever needed and under any environmental conditions.

The micro folding back up sight offers exceptional co-witness capabilities while taking up minimal space on any picatinny rail. The MFBS sights can be lifted and folded when needed, in line with operational needs, and have a narrow profile in relation to the width of the picatinny rail. They can be adapted to a range of high reflex sights and accompanying tall means, with a low cross section in the folded position. As such, the sights do not interfere with the other means placed on the weapon.

Designed to seamlessly complement most well-known sights on the market, the new compact sight folds backwards, ensuring maximum rail space without hindering the use of the AR charging handle.

The Micro Folding Battle Sights offer ultimate versatility. They can be adjusted with a simple tool, which makes field modifications easy, and are offered with or without tritium inserts. The front sight is offered in a narrow profile for sights without tritium inserts. The rear sight is designed with a quick modification between small and large apertures. The MFBS are designed for the field and meet both NATO and MIL-STD drop tests.

Ronen Hamudot, Executive VP Marketing and Sales of the SK Group said: “IWI developed the MFBS after identifying the need for detachable, durable sights, that arose from the field. Introducing the MFBS to the market represents our commitment to clients to provide comprehensive solutions, and to expanding our offering”.

Army Tests New Rifle, Automatic Rifle in Extreme Weather

Wednesday, February 28th, 2024

FORT MOORE, Georgia – Soldiers at the Cold Regions Test Center in Fort Greely, Alaska, where temperatures dipped to 35 degrees below zero last month, tested the Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) XM7 rifle and XM250 automatic rifle in various mission-oriented tasks under conditions one might experience in the Arctic.

Testing began in earnest in late January after a week of foundational new equipment training to familiarize the Soldiers with the weapons, which will be fielded, beginning this year, to members of the Close Combat Force, which includes infantry Soldiers, cavalry scouts, combat engineers, forward observers and combat medics.

The NGSW system includes the two weapons, an advanced fire control and a 6.8 mm family of ammunition.

The NGSW team, which comprises the Soldier Lethality Cross-Functional Team (SL CFT), Program Executive Office Soldier, Joint Program Executive Office Armaments & Ammunition and industry partners, worked with a team from the Army Test and Evaluation Command to see how the extreme cold might affect the performance of the weapons, the ammunition, the fire control and power supplies.

Testing wrapped up Feb. 9, and results will be made available to Army senior leaders soon.

The process of developing and fielding transformational capabilities is no longer linear, said Brig. Gen. Monté Rone, director of the SL CFT. A platoon within the 101st Airborne Division completed a limited user test in November 2023 to assess the capabilities and limitations of the NGSW system of systems.

“Once upon a time, we developed, tested and fielded capabilities in that order, and in doing so, sometimes we gave Soldiers what we thought they needed and not necessarily what they wanted,” said Rone, who also serves as the Commandant of the Infantry School. “We do things differently now, keeping Soldiers engaged in every step of the process in a variety of Soldier touchpoints, so we will give them the weapons they need to be more lethal and more survivable on the battlefield.”

Weather testing events also give developers insights into how atmospheric conditions affect the Soldiers using the weapons.

“Extreme cold can affect the weapon’s functionality, of course, but it also hinders a Soldier’s movement and mobility,” said Maj. Brandon Davis, a member of the SL CFT operations team at Fort Moore. “So which sling does he prefer in these conditions? Can he or she effectively manipulate the widgets on the weapon wearing gloves? We’re getting after every aspect of how the NGSW impacts lethality and mobility under extreme conditions.”

The Army has scheduled NGSW testing in extreme heat and humidity for later this year.

PWS to Attend Enforce Tac 2024

Tuesday, February 27th, 2024

Primary Weapons Systems will be exhibiting at Enforce Tac 2024 this week in Germany.

BOISE, Id. February 26, 2024 – PWS (Primary Weapons Systems) is proud to announce that it will be exhibiting at Enforce Tac 2024 in Nürnberg, Germany February 26-28, 2024.

Enforce Tac 2024 is a trade show designed to be a meeting place for professionals from government agencies with security responsibilities and the armed forces. Exhibitors will feature everything that government security professionals and military personnel from around the world may need. The show is an opportunity to discover new products, consult with experts and work together to support domestic and external security throughout Europe. PWS will be in attendance at stand 2-717, showcasing multiple legacy piston-driven products as well as the new UXR rifle platform that debuted in January at SHOT Show 2024.

The true innovation in the UXR platform lies in the patent-pending Xchange system. The upper receiver of the UXR is the only serialized part of the setup, enabling the shooter to easily transition from configuration to configuration, caliber to caliber. The UXR also features an incomparable look and feel – combining functionality, ergonomics, and aesthetics into one platform. Adaptability is the core principle of the UXR, showcased in its many customizable features such as an adjustable buttstock that can fold left or right, an adjustable cheek plate, and ambidextrous-able selector switch, magazine release and even the charging handle. The UXR platform also features a proprietary internal operation, or a “modified long-stroke piston system”, allowing the rifle to adapt and perform flawlessly with any UXR barrels regardless of caliber. This allows the user to swap calibers and barrels without needing to adjust the gas system each and every time. The newly designed Bore Evacuator reduces back pressure, especially when a suppressor is being used, making the UXR the perfect platform for suppressed shooting. Initially the platform will be available in .223, 300 BLK, and .308 calibers with more to follow later in 2024.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to attend Enforce Tac 2024” said President and CEO Nathan Treadaway. “Our team is proud to be able to share the UXR with this international community of professionals, showing them just how revolutionary and impactful the new platform is.”
