Makers of the AKARS, Parabellum Armament is showing the latest version of their Ratchet Charging System. It is a user installed alternative charging system that replaces the standard gas piston. It drops in place and features a hold open that is akin to the H&K family of weapons. It also features a left-side non-reciprocating, folding charging handle.
Think of the new ASAP (left) from Mystery Ranch as a one day assault pack. Here you can see how it compares to its big brother, the 3-day assault. It’s a narrow design that isn’t any wider than your back.
What’s more, in addition to the standard frame, you can attach it directly to the rear of your armor carrier with quick attach buckles offering 1100 cu in of carrying capacity to your fighting load.
ATS Tactical has introduced the SOF Bleeder Pouch, Tearaway. They developed this pouch as part of a kit for a military customer and its essentially a tearaway medical pouch that is horizontally mounted on the war belt. It’s intended specifically to carry bleeder control items.
One you open it up it incorporates elastic loops to organize your kit.
This is the Sentry helmet that debuted last year along with the new Moto Mandible and Moto Visor. These are add-ons to the helmet for use in turrets or static positions.
The Moto Visor opens and closes with indexing increments to allow for multiple vented positions and its designed to be used in conjunction with eye pro.
As you can see, it also works with NODs. Granted, there is a slight degradation due to the stand off of the goggles from the eye but it still works.
The Moto Mandible incorporates front vents that exhausts moisture from breathing to prevent the visor from fogging up. This is critical because you can actually wear the visor down to provide full protection. What would be the point of having a visor if you had to keep it up to vent?
Here it’s removed from the helmet and you can see the rear of the ballistic panels. It easily mounts and cantilevers against the edge of t.he shell. It’s held in place via two buckles that fit into the oxygen mask strap receptacles on the rail.
RACS development is complete. Look for an official release in July with orders starting in September.
This gimbal mounted hearing protection incorporates directional hearing augmentation and can be fitted directly over your ears.
Additionally, it can moved into a portage configuration.
Finally, different organizations have different ballistic requirements so now they’re offering multiple performance levels for each of the shell designs.
