Coming this April from Reebok is the Strikepoint which promises to be the lightest Berry compliant boot on the market. What’s more, it’s also AR 670-1 compliant.
They worked with Vibram to get the weight down and left out the liners in the upper so it’s much more like a traditional jungle boot construction.
Grey Ghost Gear showed a full line of zip on back panels for armor vests.
They’ve even got an adapter for those vests without incorporated zippers.
The panels use the same zippers as the Crye systems so there’s some compatibility here in both directions.
Tardigrade Industries‘ OCELLUS line of Armored Eyewear is amazing. They showed is an early version and they’ve come a long way. They have met STANAG body armor rating for frag as well as other threats.
They’ve vastly improved the form factor to something more akin to a low profile goggle than the SCUBA mask-like earlier version. One of the next steps is integration of an Rx insert.
APC10? That’s right, B&T has introduced a 10mm version of their popular subgun. I got a chance to shoot it at Range Day and it’s a very smooth gun.
It features their new dual auto-folding, non-reciprocating charging handle and a side positioned bolt hold open/release. You can also customize the gun thanks to removable M4 compatible grip as well as a plethora of stock options. Better yet, the APC10 accepts Glock magazines.
The new DTNVS from ACTinBlack combines lightweight materials and a low profile while folded to the helmet to reduce neck strain during extended missions. Remember, ACTinBlack offers chassis which others assemble into full goggles. This means it weighs around 500 grams when combined with US tubes and glass.
The DTNVS goggle has a full feature set with individual sideways ON/OFF for each eyepiece and Flip-Up ON/OFF when folded up preventing backsplash on the helmet.
To complete the DTNVGs’ features it incorporates built-in IR LED for close quarter missions with separate IR-ON indicator and low battery indicator in the field of view. It is waterproof to 20m and boats a 30hour battery life.
First up is Obskura. It’s a transitional pattern. It is joined by a new snow pattern, Grom.
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.
US Tactical Supply is showing Raven Wrap.
Key Points:
-long term sustainment behind the tripod
-enhanced shooting support heights
-enhanced conceal ability
-integrates tools even while stripped down (ie: zip ties, accessory straps, Kestrel pouch)
They’ve also got a JP Rifle with a Badger C1 Mount and Leupold MK5 all done in a Prismatic Green / Red Brown ceracoat finish which came out awesome.
