This is an announcement from NEMO regarding the update to their FAS watertight weapon bags and their adoption by SEAL Team 4.
NEMO’s successful FAS™ (Full-Action, Sealed™) line of high performance watertight weapon bags has been updated with the FAS™ Jump AR Gen III model. Made in the USA, Gen III is now available for sale direct from NEMO and through major distributors. The bags, designed to protect a weapon from saltwater, sand and other contaminants, utilize stretch fabric panels in a proprietary design to allow normal intuitive operation of the weapon in and out of the water during OTB missions.
FAS™ Jump AR Gen III is currently available for SCAR, M4, 416 and other AR style rifles. Made for high-impact operations, the bag is ruggedized to handle a greater threat of abrasion and puncture. When the weapon is sealed inside the bag and grabbed normally, protected panels of stretch material, allow for the immediate ambidextrous operation of the fire selector and trigger.
New features of the Gen III model include an oral valve to adjust for buoyancy and an ITW rail zipper for a more secure closure. With the added oral valve, the operator can now increase air inside the bag for use as a flotation device or decrease it for diving. The rail zipper provides adds redundancy to the dry bag style main closure of the bag, providing additional guarantee that it won’t open during operations.
“Five years ago, Naval Special Warfare asked us to develop a faster, lighter, more functional solution for the shoot-through weapon bag. In the years since, the bags have performed extremely well and we’ve continued to refine the details based on close cooperation with our customers. I recently spoke with an NSW customer who’s used his bag on 17 missions without a single hiccup. The new Gen III model is by far the lightest, smallest packing, most functional, and most cost-effective solution on the market,” said Cam Brensinger, NEMO Founder and CEO.
