HRT Releases Advanced Weapon Light System

Friday, October 14th, 2022

HRT is proud to announce the official release of the Advanced Weapon Light System, or AWLS. Our first, but not last product in the tactical electronics market. The PSF-Mk6 head is capable of being utilized on any system that shares a Surefire dual fuel threading. The system will be held together by a specially built body that connects to your rifle with an ambidextrous MLOK design. The head and tail cap threading are identical allowing multiple methods for attachment to the rifle. The system is currently tested to an IP68 rating. However, HRT is doing testing to exceed that. The tail cap will come with Valhalla Tactical’s Omni-Directional Activator (ODA). The ODA is a new design that reduces negligent discharges associated with rail mounted pressure pads. However, it is extremely ergonomic for a natural activation when needed. The ODA comes with the ability to change tension settings depending on the end user’s mission.

The AWLS will come in two sizes: a compact and full size configuration. The system is designed to be ran with the with one 18650 (Full size) or one 18350 (compact) rechargeable lithium battery. The full size system can also be powered by two CR123a batteries, but will not produce full capabilities in that configuration. HRT is also offering a line of high drain USB rechargeable batteries for the 18350 and 18650 offerings.

The AWLS PSF-Mk6 Head will be capable of producing 90,000 candela and 17,000 lumens depending on battery source. The throw distance ranges out to 550 m (600 yd / 1,800 ft). This easily allows the user to PID threats from afar. A uniform spill for close-range navigations will still allow for close encounters with a 5500k daylight-balanced color temperature for true-to-life color rendition.

The ODA is an injection molded joystick that allows activation in 360 degrees. The sensitivity can be adjusted to preclude negligent discharges, as well as allow for momentary on or a constant click on mode. Using a tailcap vs tapeswitch allows for the light to receive maximum amps and watts to leverage the most out of the head. Tape switches max out at 3V reducing their complete performance for high candela heads. The innovative ODA eliminates the need for expensive and unreliable Remote Pressure Switches. The tail cap is rated for 10-Amp for future upgradability / compatibility. The ODA is removable, and a tail cap is pre-installed option.

All materials are Multi-Axis CNC machined from aircraft-grade aluminum. Once the parts are built, they are Mil-Spec Hardcoat-Anodized for ultimate durability. An internal thermal management system automatically throttles output to prevent over-heating. The AWLS is the best value in the industry:  Outperforming all market leaders without the price premium. A USB-rechargeable Li-Ion battery is included and ready to use out of the box. Just remember to charge it first. Finally, all parts are backed by HRT’s Limited Lifetime Warranty and assembled in the USA.

FightLite Launches Multi-Caliber HERRING Model 2024 Lever Action – Shatters 100-Year Paradigm!

Thursday, October 13th, 2022

(Melbourne, Florida USA) October 10, 2022 – FightLite® Industries, a division of ARES Defense Systems® Inc. located in Melbourne, Florida formally announces its new patent-pending, HERRING® Model 2024 Multi-Caliber Lever Action!

The HERRING® Model 2024 is a family of high performance, extremely accurate and modular lever-action firearms that provide for flexible caliber and magazine reconfiguration at the user-level, without tools to support virtually any shooting profile. HERRING® is a clean-sheet revival of the lever-action concept and significantly advances the state-of-the-art for lever-action rifles and pistols bringing them fully into the 21st Century.

Invented and designed by notable small arms designer and company CEO Geoffrey Herring and his team at FightLite Industries; HERRING® raises the bar for the lever-action repeating gun by incorporating the latest materials, techniques, and practices into a modern, lightweight, accurate and user-configurable, caliber and magazine convertible lever-action firearm family.

The HERRING® Model 2024 is designed with performance, configurability, ergonomics, ease-of-use, optical compatibility, and hard-working utility in mind. It leverages the vast MSR accessory industry in an identical way to a standard AR-15 for different calibers, barrel lengths, optical sights, silencers and accessory mounting needs. Also like an AR-15, the HERRING® Model 2024 utilizes off-the-shelf AR-15 bolts and barrel extensions, which gives it even greater flexibility and allows it to access the huge catalog of calibers and commercially available barrel units for that rifle.

“Lever-action rifles are iconic. As far back as I can remember while watching Cowboys and Indians on the tube, they were the guns that first sparked my interest in firearms!” says Geoffrey Herring, founder and CEO of ARES Defense & FightLite Industries. “Most of our products are the result of something that I personally want but am unable to find in the marketplace, and our new HERRING Model 2024 is no different. I have a variety of lever-action rifles from as far back as the late 1800’s through current product offerings, but I was unable to find one that was multi-caliber, i.e.: permitting caliber conversion to a variety of cartridges using modern, high velocity spitzer pointed bullets while using detachable magazines. I also noticed an emerging market trend toward the “modern lever action” with folks customizing legacy platforms by adding rail handguards, silencers, etc. Anyone who’s followed our company knows that our products straddle both ends of the AR spectrum, with our belt-fed MCR on one end and our 50-state legal SCR on the other, and I am confident that our new HERRING® Model 2024 is going to be a smashing success for lever-gun enthusiasts with everything that it brings to the table.”

 

Mechanically, the HERRING® Model 2024 family uses a rotating bolt like an AR-pattern semiautomatic, but the bolt carrier is cycled by a manually actuated articulating lever. FightLite’s HERRING® Model 2024’s lower receiver has lineage to the highly successful ARES/FightLite® SCR® Sport-Configurable Rifle which was also invented and designed by Geoffrey Herring. A great deal of commonality has been retained between the SCR’s lower components, and those used by the Herring® Model 2024; and it also accepts all AR-15 (STANAG) pattern magazines, including 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 100 round AR magazines.

Due to its modern, magazine-fed design the HERRING® Model 2024 doesn’t suffer from center-of-gravity shift as a tube-fed rifle does when loading or firing, nor is it limited to round-nosed projectiles. It can be easily unloaded, via simple removal of the magazine and a single cycling of the action to remove any chambered round. Because it can be quickly and easily loaded and unloaded, it’s also possible to easily swap between two different types of ammunition within one caliber as specific shooting conditions dictate. An example might be when shooting .300 Blackout: -choosing between supersonic 110gr expanding copper hollow points for increased velocity and subsonic 220gr BTHP when adding a silencer.

While HERRING® Model 2024 rifles will be primarily chambered in 5.56 NATO and 300 BLK, they can be reconfigured for virtually any AR caliber from long range wonders like Hornady’s 6mm ARC, to short-range bruisers like .450 Bushmaster. Target or small game shooting with .22 LR rimfire via convenient caliber conversion kits will also be possible and HERRING® Model 2024 can also be chambered in pistol rounds like 9mm, 10mm, .45 ACP, and 5.7×28 with potentially great benefits in reduced lever-stroke length.

The patent-pending HERRING® Model 2024 is a thorough modernization of the lever-action rifle concept itself. HERRING® Model 2024 marries the proven accuracy, adaptability, and high performance of the AR platform with the established power and all-American rugged dependability of the lever-action repeating rifle.

Sales and Distribution

The HERRING® Model 2024 will be offered in both complete rifles and complete lower receiver assemblies; the latter for consumers who prefer to build or customize their HERRING® lever-action rifle in a caliber, barrel, upper or handguard configuration of their choice. A Federal Firearms License (FFL) or completion of an over-the-counter ATF Form 4473 is required to purchase this product.

The HERRING® Model 2024 will be on display in the FightLite® Booth #623 at NASGW Expo October 26-28 in Kansas City, MO. and will be principally offered through 2-step distribution. FFL Dealers are encouraged to contact their favorite Distributor for pricing, availability and ordering details.

Monday, October 3rd, 2022

Fielded and operationally proven, the unique SMASH technology ensures that shot accuracy will not be affected by human errors

Land Forces Exhibition, Brisbane, Australia, Hall 2, Booth 2C21

SMARTSHOOTER, a world-class designer, developer, and manufacturer of innovative fire control systems that significantly increase the accuracy, lethality, and situational awareness of small arms, will present the SMASH 3000 for the first time at the Land Forces Conference in Brisbane, Australia.

SMASH 3000 is a lighter and smaller version of SMARTSHOOTER’s handheld operated SMASH system. Using AI, computer vision, and advanced algorithms, SMARTSHOOTER’s SMASH 3000 ensures each round finds its target in both day and night conditions. Incorporating operational and technical insights from previous versions, it is the latest and most advanced handheld operated fire control system by SMARTSHOOTER and is already in operational use. Maximizing force lethality, operational effectiveness and situational awareness throughout every engagement, it is also an ideal hard-kill solution against drones and sUAS.

At the conference, SMARTSHOOTER will also present the SMASH X4: a Fire Control System with a x4 magnifying optic scope that provides extended detection, recognition & identification ranges for the shooter as well as extended lethality ranges. The SMASH X4 includes an etched reticle to allow shooting without battery power, and an optional integrated Laser Range Finder (LRF) enables range measurement both as a user-initiated capability as well as a system input for improved precision. Night-capability is available by using the X4 with thermal night vision devices as a clip-on.

Built as an external add-on solution that can be integrated onto different types of assault rifles and light machineguns, the SMASH Fire Control Systems ensures that shot accuracy will not be affected by human errors such as fatigue and stress, nor by the target movement. Fielded and operationally deployed by friendly forces worldwide, including the IDF and the US special forces, the SMASH Family of Fire Control Systems enables the platoon to be smart, precise and connected.

Presenting its SMASH family of fire control solutions that includes handheld operated, remotely controlled, robotic, and UAV-mounted systems at the Land Forces Conference, SMARTSHOOTER affirms that it is ready to support the Fire Control functions of the Australian Land 159 Tranche 2 Close Combat Family of Weapons (CCFoW).

Michal Mor, SMARTSHOOTER CEO: “We are excited to unveil and present the SMASH 3000, SMARTSHOOTER’s latest and lightest handheld fire control system, for the first time at the Australian Land Forces Conference. We have incorporated all operational and technical insights from previous versions into the system, making it even more effective while enabling significant weight and size reduction. Operational and combat-proven, the SMASH fire control systems allow infantry soldiers to swiftly and accurately neutralize their targets.”
