Rampart Range Day 25 – Sordin T2

Monday, June 9th, 2025

Sordin exhibited their T2 headset at the recent Rampart Range Day near Ottawa, Canada.

Built using their SordinFLEX Modular Design Platform, the comms headset can quickly be configured for multiple means of wear.

Additionally, you can choose between four audio profiles to adapt your sound image to the actual tactical situation. Switching is as simple as toggling between profiles using an ergonomic keypad. Profiles include:

Tactical is the normal audio profile for general purposes. Gain and frequency are set to normal levels in order to mimic natural ambient sound and to balance situational awareness and comfort in the field.

Comfort is a profile with reduced gain and a reduced frequency spectrum. Ideal in noisy environments when communication is prioritized over ambient sound.

Dual is a 2-in-1 profile has high gain and a wide frequency band for high situational awareness in quiet environments. Alternatively, use it when combining your T2 with earplugs to pick up some ambient sounds, even in high-noise environments.

Ambient Off is used to turn ambient sound off with your headset using passive hearing protection only. Suitable when maximum focus on team communications is required in high-noise environments.

Available cup covers are Black, Green or Tan.

Rampart Range Day 25 – Colt Canada

Wednesday, May 28th, 2025

Due to Canadian content laws, Colt Canada provides small arms to the Department of National Defence.

The Canadian military is currently working on an upgrade to their C8 carbines. Colt Canada showed off the latest version of their line of rifles, the C8 Modular Rail Ambidextrous Rifle in 5.56 NATO (Colt Canada also makes the MRR in 300 BLK).

It features a fully ambidextrous lower receiver with ambi bolt catch and release and well as fire selector switch.

This version with the 14.5” barrel is considered the general service variant and is intended for Combat Support and Combat Service Support personnel while close combatants will wield a carbine with an 11.6” barrel. As you can see, it is fitted with the Millbrook Strategic Sciences Multi Function Muzzle Device. The MFMD is timed and permanently affixed to the barrel and is currently already adopted by CANSOFCOM.

I had an opportunity to fire the 11.6 barrel version as well as a C20 sniper rifle in 7.62 NATO. Both were fitted with the MFMD. Although the MFMD is technically a two component system with a clip-on module which offers an additional 3db of attenuation, most don’t bother with the added weight. I was concerned that the carbine would feel unbalanced toward the muzzle but I didn’t notice it at all during firing. This is because most of the MFMD is mounted over the barrel and behind the muzzle. Additionally, although the device looks like a large block, most of it is hollow, filled with chases for the gas to run and escape.

This is a conceptual prototype of what a C8A4 might well look like. However, don’t surprised if the enabled change. For instance, DND still hasn’t decided on which suppressor and variable power optic they are going to field.
