SHOT Show 19 – Team Wendy C2 Comms Controller

Thursday, January 24th, 2019

Team Wendy has introduced a new communications system called C2 or Comms Controller.

They partnered with a leader in the communications industry to create a proprietary designed in-ear communications system that serves as a solid complement to their helmet system. The initial focus of the system will be for SAR communities.

C2 consists of in-ear headset, control box, dual comm splitter, Motorola APX adapter, and Smartphone adapter.

C2 not only offers dual comm capability with independant volume and push-to-talk, but also a noise re-education rating of 25dB. It also incorporates impulse noise protection and extended sound localization.

It operates for 40 hours on a AAA battery as well as drawing power from the radio.

C2 is intended for use by LE, first responder and SAR teams. As you can see, it is available with a PALS compatible chest rig which will carry a radio as well as other items.

The front can easily be dropped forward to access checklists, admin items or even smartphones.

SHOT Show 19 – Brownells BRN-180

Thursday, January 24th, 2019

The BRN-180 is the latest product from Brownells’ Retro line. It’s an upper receiver group designed for use with AR-15-style lowers but use the piston operating system from the AR-180, including the reciprocating side charging handle.

Naturally, this means that it doesn’t require the AR’s action spring and buffer to function, making use of a folding stock a cinch.

It features an original 3-prong flash hider, M-LOK handguard and a barrel with 223 Wylde chamber and 1/8 twist.
