Radical Defense Unveils BAD-M2 for the M2A1 .50 Cal Machine Gun

Tuesday, August 19th, 2025

The BAD-M2 (Blast Attenuation Device for the M2A1) is Radical Defense’s latest suppressor engineered specifically for the M2A1 .50 caliber machine gun. Building on the demonstrated performance of the BAD-21, Radical Defense has streamlined the design, simplifying the 50 FVS architecture by removing the Venturi sleeve, reinforcing the internal structure, and trimming weight by 9 ounces, all while reducing the overall profile. The result: a lighter, stronger, and more effective system for the warfighter.

Mission-Driven BOP Reduction

Developed first and foremost to protect gunners and those operating around the weapon, the BAD-M2 delivers a 90% reduction in blast overpressure (BOP), measuring at just 0.06 psi at the shooter’s position. This low-pressure performance allows personnel to stay mission focused without the reduced cognitive function attributed to significant BOP exposure.

Sound Performance

Although BOP mitigation is the primary objective, the BAD-M2 also significantly reduces sound signature. At the shooter’s ear, peak sound pressure is measured at 146 dB, improving the gunner’s ability to communicate and maintain situational awareness in high-intensity environments.


Installing BAD-M2 on an M2A1 requires no proprietary parts or modification of the host weapon.

Maintaining Firepower

Suppressor integration should never come at the cost of performance.With the BAD-M2 installed, the M2A1 maintains a cyclic rate of approximately 530 rounds per minute, ensuring reliable firepower without sacrificing weapon dynamics.

The BAD-M2 represents Radical Defense’s ongoing commitment to engineering suppressor solutions that enhance operator survivability, communication, and combat effectiveness.

Law Enforcement Training for Force-On-Force Readiness with Laser Ammo’s Shot Body System

Monday, August 18th, 2025

GREAT NECK, N.Y. – August 13, 2025 – Laser Ammo USA Inc. is proud to offer its Shot Body System (SBS), a wearable sensor system specifically designed for force-on-force scenarios, active shooter simulations and decision-making shooting exercises. Individuals or teams can utilize the system to strengthen problem-solving skills in realistic situations, providing opportunities to practice advanced gun handling skills, communication and tactical movement under stress. As the only wearable tactical solution that enables professionals to train against live adversaries, Laser Ammo’s SBS provides superior law enforcement training by replicating real-world scenarios.

Laser Ammo took the traditional military MILES system and made it more affordable, user-friendly, and easier to operate for law enforcement and security teams who are simulating force-on-force scenarios. The wearable system consists of six sensors for placement anywhere the user wants to target (back, front, head, limbs, etc). Programmable lasers allow users to color-code sensor hits with up to five different colors to reveal shooter identification and shot placement. When the laser interacts with a body sensor, it detects up to three hits and visually identifies each one by the shooter’s assigned color. This immediate visual feedback allows users to assess and refine techniques, such as entry, choice of cover or injury severity in real time.

“Laser Ammo is proud to offer the Shot Body System to law enforcement agencies, military units and security contractors,” said Colin Gallagher, Laser Ammo’s Lead Law Enforcement & Military Specialist. “The system is engineered to allow professionals to experience complex, high-stress scenarios in a safe and controlled environment. This technology gives them the opportunity to receive feedback that will further refine and strengthen their skills in the field.”

With the SBS, Laser Ammo continues to lead the way in providing advanced training solutions that elevate law enforcement safety, performance and readiness. This innovative system transforms tactical training by helping officers build muscle memory, sharpen tactical coordination and effectively prepare for real-world scenarios.

Laser Ammo recommends pairing the Shot Body System with Laser Ammo’s recoil enabled training firearms for a more comprehensive threat response experience. There are a variety of laser configurations designed to allow multiple weapon combinations. To learn more about Laser Ammo’s law enforcement training or to speak with a member of its law enforcement team, visit LaserAmmo.com/professional-groups/law-enforcement.

The Shot Body System is available to purchase for an MSRP of $1,500.00.
