SHOT Show 2012 – NRA Life of Duty Coverage
Tuesday, March 6th, 2012PVS14 iPhone Adapter Available Through BHI
Tuesday, February 28th, 2012Blackheart International was set up just around the corner from US Night Vision at SHOT Show. Looks like they saw the PVS14 iPhone Adapter we wrote about.
I still think this was one of the best things that came out of SHOT Show this year. The concept is pretty simple and combines the strengths of night vision and digital imagery. The adapter connects the AN/PVS14 to an iPhone. You can use your preferred digital photography app to capture and manipulate stills and full motion video. Then, it’s as simple as transmitting the data via SMS or email.
Crye Precision Spartan
Saturday, February 11th, 2012
We gave you a tease of the Spartan during the 2012 SHOT Show and it’s easy to tell where it got its name by just looking at it. The Spartan design is actually a couple of years old and offers Maxillofacial Ballistic Protection without any modification to an issue Advanced Combat Helmet. Crye brought it back to the forefront as a possible solution for a US Army requirement for a “commercially available product that can provide ballistic, blast and blunt impact protection in the maxillofacial region to increase soldier survivability.”
What really sets this product apart from others is that it is somewhat flexible and can be easily mounted and dismounted from the helmet. As you can see in the video it integrates with the NVG mount and can be pulled up out of the way when needed. Additionally, it won’t give you that claustrophobic feeling and you can still shoulder a weapon with it in place.

Maxpedition Luggage Lock
Monday, January 30th, 2012Sometimes the simplest things catch our eye and the Tactical Luggage Lock from Maxpedition we spied at this year’s SHOT Show is no exception.
Available in Black, Khaki and Foliage Green, it is a 3-Dial combination TSA lock. This means it is good to go for air travel in the US and UK.
