SHOT Show 20 – Kryptek Introduces New Patterns
Friday, January 24th, 2020SHOT Show 20 – AUFIRE
Friday, January 24th, 2020
The AUFIRE System is in the SOTECH booth (#20113).
The Accuracy Under Fire Trainer System (AUFIRE) was developed by Tim Pearce, a veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department. They describe it as a uniquely intense and realistic gunfight training tool designed to improve one’s aim, accuracy and focus during heated gunfire force-on- force scenarios. In short, the AUFIRE system simulates being hit by gunfire, and it forces the trainee to problem solve under the intense distraction and random immobilization of a limb during a gunfight, the trainee feels as if they have been shot. AUFIRE takes away the guesswork and reveals the participant’s real reactions to having one or more of their body parts completely incapacitated in a gunfight.

SHOT Show 20 – Blue Force Gear Lightweight MOLLEminus Belt
Thursday, January 23rd, 2020During DSEI we have you a taste of great things yo come from BFG. The Lightweight MOLLEminus Belt is now in production with delivery to commence shortly in MultiCam with other colors to soon follow. Sizes 28-46.
I am very impressed with this belt which not only boasts light weight and ergonomic design, but also a static load rating of 3500lbs (15.5 kN).
Here is their press release:
BLUE FORCE GEAR® ANNOUNCES THE LIGHTEST MOLLE COMPATIBLE SAFETY RESTRAINT BELT EVER MADE
POOLER, GA (January 16, 2020) — Blue Force Gear’s absolute dedication to Lighten the Load™ for the warfighter has led to the development of a state-of-the-art, fully MOLLE-compatible belt system that – incredibly – weighs just half as much as competing brands, and with a static load rating of 3500lbs (15.5 kN). Intelligent design, proprietary ULTRAcomp laminate and valuable feedback from elite professionals all contributed to the success of this belt system, one we are very proud to bring to market.
“Our new Lightweight MOLLEminus® Belt is the result of many months of focused design work and nearly daily interaction with our SOF customers. We listened intently to their evolving needs and the MOLLEminus Belt is a product of that synergy” said Stephen Hilliard, Director of Product Development for Blue Force Gear. Constructed using Blue Force Gear’s proprietary ULTRAcomp® laminate – a layered composite material – coupled with other technologically advanced components; the MAB is set to revolutionize how the modern warfighter carries their first-line kit.
Some innovative features include ULTRAcomp® laminate and composite components that are cut on a bias to provide custom-fit-comfort right out of the box. A lanyard “hard-point” at the rear of the belt is positioned for greater safety should the user depend on the restraint feature, and a matching inner belt is laser perforated for increased breathability and comfort. All this, and the Lightweight MOLLEminus Belt still comes in at only 0.65lbs for the inner/outer belt system (size 32).
The composite material sandwiched between the layers of the outer belt provide more than sufficient stiffness to carry a sidearm, plus mission essential loads without affecting overall comfort, or compromising the stability of the system.
Lastly, the MAB is Made in America of Berry compliant materials and will be available 4th quarter, 2019.
