Noveske Releases OAF Nation Rifle

Tuesday, September 15th, 2015

Grants Pass Oregon- (September 15, 2015) Premium rifle manufacturer, Noveske Rifleworks, is excited to announce the limited release of a collaboration rifle with OAF Nation. OAF Nation is a veteran advocacy group that often laces important social and political issues (along with current events) with their own style of irreverent humor.

“We’ve wanted to do a collab with an AR company for a while now but there were so many out there that just weren’t the right fit for us. On top of that we would never put our seal on or endorse a product that we haven’t used ourselves. When the opportunity arose for a collab with Noveske I was overwhelmed with pride. I ran a Noveske as a PMC in environments from Shash Darak to Wardak, Afghanistan. Out of all the weapons I put rounds through downrange, the Noveske was the ONLY platform that never once failed on me or the men on my project. Rain, sleet, snow, or sand; it was always ready to go. Could not be happier with how this AR came out and really grateful to Mike Aland and Noveske for making this happen.” Said the founder of OAF Nation.

“Upon hearing about his experiences with our product, it became a special project. Noveske has a rich history of providing rifles to those in harms way, and we take great pride in the reliability and accuracy of our rifles.” Added Mike Aland, CMO at Noveske.

We also teamed up to create a launch video that captures the rifle in an interesting shooting scenario with all of the hallmarks that make up a Noveske rifle combined with some of the sensibilities of the OAF Nation. The launch video can be found here:

The rifle, available in three colors, goes on sale today at noveske.com. Featuring our Gen 1 forged receiver set, 14.5” pinned and welded skinny barrel, and 13.5” NSR hand guard, OAF engraving, and will also ship in a California compliant configuration.

New LWAC Ammunition Case Heralds Revolution In Military Ammunition Resupply

Monday, September 14th, 2015

LWAC - M113

PPD shows fully tested LWAC ammunition case which reduces weight by 70%

Hvidovre Denmark 15th September 2015: A recently tested lightweight small arms ammunition case is on display on the PPD stand, S7-261, during DSEI. Utilising composite materials and innovative design it reduces the weight of a standard NATO ammunition case by 70% and increases the number of rounds that can be carried on a standard NATO pallet by 10%.

The PPD LWAC (Lightweight Ammunition Case) completed various UN tests in Feb 2015 and was accepted by the end user in May 2015. The LWAC is now certified for use in non-operational areas such as training, paving the way for initial orders for training ammunition etc. The operational area tests (STANAG 4423) are underway. So far the LWAC has passed all of those it has faced such as the bonfire and being “fired at” tests.

The significance of the weight saving is demonstrated by the savings that Denmark would have made during its deployment to Afghanistan in 2012. It would have represented a saving of 8 C-130 flights (and €1.14M) just in entry flights let alone savings on in theatre transport. The US is striving to achieve a 10% reduction in theatre/combat zone transport. It has been calculated that such a saving would have saved the US 7 lives a year in Afghanistan. Shifting ammunition is a very large part of the logistic requirement so any weight saving has an instant human return not to mention savings in costs, CO2 emissions and other green issues etc. For the humble infantryman the weight saving will reduce future medical costs for damaged knees and backs.

LWAC stacked

PPD’s LWAC can be safely packed and stowed with no requirement for modification to platforms, stowage systems or weapon mounts. Different colours can be incorporated into the composite LWAC case to signifying the type of ammunition within it, blue= training, green=operational etc. As the LWAC cases can be made transparent, still with the colouring pigment, the number of rounds can be counted without having to open the case saving time during stock checks. An RFID tag can be built it allowing each case, its content and its movement to be tracked from the moment the LWAC case is made to the moment it comes out of service.

“The LWAC has undergone a series of rigorous tests conducted by NAMMO Raufoss and watched by independent observers. LWAC® performed exactly as we predicted and wanted,” said Jan Engmann, CEO of PPD.

“The effort put in by our specialist advisers and experts has been vindicated and the benefits of using composite in this way are there for all to see. The weight savings we have achieved with the resulting cost reduction make it a simple decision for logisticians,” added Engmann.

“Our strategy has been global from the beginning and the LWAC is already under evaluation by the MoD´s of UK, US, Singapore, UAE, Denmark and Norway,” he continued

The LWAC is fully recyclable without any preparation and meets all the EU requirements for “green gas” emissions out to 2040. Other cases and lightweight pallets are in design.

    Thursday, September 10th, 2015

    SilencerCo Weapons Research

    WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah – September 10, 2015 – Continuing in their innovative and roguish nature, SilencerCo has once again thrown the gauntlet in a big way – by forming their own technological skunkworks outfit, SilencerCo Weapons Research.

    Located in Austin, TX, SilencerCo Weapons Research, or SWR for short, is based around bringing technology within reach of the Everyman. For too long, technological advances surrounding the shooting industry have been priced out of the attainable range of most citizens, kept a secret, or the public has simply been told that they can’t have them. SWR not only believes that you deserve better – they plan to show it.

    SWR will use their expertise in the various arenas of the industry to design their own technology geared toward cutting-edge solutions for the discerning sportsman. The initial product offering will be announced in mid-September, with a steady pipeline of products to follow. Consumers can anticipate products that will enhance the shooting experience and bring into civilian reach capabilities that were formerly only available to government end users.

    SilencerCo continues to keep the industry on their toes and test the line of what is considered possible. SWR represents the purest form of that effort, venturing into an uncharted territory with the goal of bringing the best within reach.
