Lantac Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group

Tuesday, March 18th, 2025

The Lantac E-BCG® (Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group) is one of the most significant evolutions Lantac-USA has brought to market.

Introduced in 2014, the Lantac E-BCG is regarded as the leading product in its class. Independent testing has confirmed that no other enhanced bolt carrier on the market effectively enhances a standard AR15 BCG or addresses the shortcomings of a standard mil-spec BCG the way Lantac’s E-BCG does.

Testing and evaluation conducted on the E-BCG with 75,000+ rounds of full auto (primarily suppressed fire) concluded massive lifespan gains over traditional mil-spec BCG’s. The Crane NAVSEA’s 2015 report indicated that the average lifespan of a mil-spec bolt was approximately 9625 rounds!

Some of the primary enhancements of the E-BCG include:

1- Lower operating pressure for cycling – resulting in a smoother recoil impulse and more reliable cycling.

2- The patented CPR-360 Domed Head Cam Pin to reduce internal wear to the cam channel

3- The patented flared tail on the rear of the carrier increasesconcentricity within the upper receiver to enhance accuracy

4- Forward-facing enlarged venting ports to reduce particulate and overpressure from venting into the shooters face, and reduces SPL readings at the shooters ear

5- Patented advanced UCT EXO coating process for increased lubricity and improved cycling.

More detail, testing, and evaluation of the E-BCG can be found on the Lantac-USA website at under their white paper section: www.lantac-usa.com/e-bcgwhitepaper

The Lantac E-BCG is the perfect upgrade for shooters seeking a smoother, more reliable and dependable solution for the AR15 platform.

Rheinmetall’s PTAL – The Laser Light Module for Handguns

Thursday, March 6th, 2025

Rheinmetall’s new Pistol Tactical Aiming Laser (PTAL) is a compact lightweight attachment module specially designed for handguns. It is made by Rheinmetall Soldier Electronics in Stockach on Lake Constance.

For target illumination, an infrared close-range illuminator and white light are available to the operator for use in all operational situations. In addition, the PTAL is equipped with an IR aiming laser and a visible (selectable red or green) aiming laser, integrated next to each other in a laser block.

Despite its compact dimensions (L/W/H 76 x 45 x 30 mm) and low weight of just 115 g, the newly developed module produces a powerful laser output of up to laser class 3B, permanently controlled via a monitor diode and electronically regulated. The build-on module features a dongle interface for an eye-safe training mode and effective force-on-force training.

Besides ergonomic, two-handed fingertip operability, the module can be attached to the weapon in various ways and can be adapted to different holster types. The single CR123 battery can be exchanged via the lamp head when the module is mounted. Furthermore, the device offers the great advantage of not being subject to America’s strict ITAR export regulations.

UNITY Tactical Expands AXON Line with Three-Button Switch

Monday, February 24th, 2025

AXON™ XL brings dedicated visible laser override capability

UNITY™ Tactical, a designer of components that integrate tactical systems and optimize the human factor, unveiled the third product in its line of AXON™ switches – the three-button AXON XL – at Enforce Tac 2025.

Developed as part of a SOF requirement, AXON XL brings additional functionality to the industry-leading AXON family. A third button provides users with a dedicated visible laser override capability for the NGAL (LA-23/PEQ) laser. The forward two buttons feature the same tactile differentiation as AXON, while a prominent wall separates the flat (pill-shaped) center pad from the rear (round dome) button.

“We constantly seek to innovate and expand the capability of our product lines,” said Mike Roth, VP of business development for UNITY Tactical. “AXON XL is the direct result of customer feedback, bringing together a technically advanced and ergonomically correct solution in the same or smaller footprint as many two-button switches on the market, giving the end user utmost efficiency in space and capability.”

There are three non-restrictive versions of AXON XL. The angled button on one supports momentary and constant light activation. On the second, the angled button operates in a SYNC capacity, firing both white light and visible laser despite what mode the NGAL is physically set to (vis override). Also operating in SYNC, the angled button on the third version simultaneously fires white light and the laser in the mode the NGAL is physically set to (mode select). The front angled button supports both momentary and constant activation on SYNC variants as well.

The center and rear buttons fire in the same way across all three commercial variants. The center button fires the laser in the mode the NGAL is physically set to (mode select). The rear button fires the visible laser despite what mode the NGAL is physically set to (vis override). Both the center and rear buttons offer momentary-only and laser double-click-for-constant-on control.

AXON XL is only available for UNITY’s LINK™ USB-C System with GASCAP™, and NGAL (LA-23) lasers with versions for other next-generation / visible-override-capable devices available in the future.

At only 3.7 inches (9.4 centimeters) in length, AXON XL is1.03 inches shorter than UNITY’s first-ever two-button TAPS™ switch that launched in 2014 and has since been discontinued.

M1913 Rail Clamps include three pass-throughs for zip ties, with an M-LOK® Mounting Kit sold separately.

AXON XL is available in black and FDE and retails at $349. It is available for purchase now through authorized UNITY dealers, with orders starting to ship on or before March 7, 2025. AXON XL is on display at the UNITY Tactical stand #7-329 at Enforce Tac in Nürnberg, Germany from Feb. 24-26, 2025.
