Impact Weapons Components – 2 To 1 Point Split-Bar Triglide

Monday, September 3rd, 2012

Impact Weapons Components is generally known for their excellent flashlight mounts. However, they’ve expanded into additional products. One of my favorites is the 2 To 1 Point Triglide. Available in 1.25″ width to accommodate most slings, it is fitted on to your sling to allow it to attach back on to itself. It is designed to work with push button quick detach sling swivels already found on most slings. Installation is a snap. You slide he older model on the webbing and this latest version is designed to fit slings with sewn ends or to immediately modify your sling. The split -bar model slides into place wherever you want it. It’s a solid product, CNC machined from Billet 6061-T6 aluminum and hard anodized Type III per MIL-A-8625F.

IWC’s 2 To 1 Point Triglide is perfect for those that want the flexibility to convert their 2-point slings into single points. And now that they’ve introduced the split-bar model, it’s even easier to configure your sling.

I’ve been using one for several months now and appreciate the versatility it affords. There are times when I want to use a single-point sling but prefer the Blue Force Gear Vickers Combat Assault Sling. Using the 2 To 1 Point Triglide gives me the best of both worlds.

No Stock Needed

Friday, August 31st, 2012

I’ve never seen anything like it. The patent pending NSN completely replaces the need for a shoulder stock on an AR-style firearm. Consisting of two main components: a stainless steel bracket, which mounts directly to a variety of firearms, and dual impact-absorbing foam pads, which mount to the rear of the bracket, the shooter places the bracket against his chin. The padded bracket absorbs nearly all of the felt recoil. The device mounts directly to any firearm with an industry-standard M16 lower receiver end plate adapter, including the popular semi-automatic AR-15 as well as several GLOCK pistol models fitted with an extra adapter.

The NSN makes the weapon both lighter and more compact. The developer Halix also claims that the firearm is easier and faster to aim because the device provides a point for the operator’s face and eyes to consistently index and acquire the sighting mechanism, and the device removes the time and effort needed to orient one’s shoulder and torso to the correct position. They also assert that aiming deviations caused by breathing are nearly eliminated because firearms do not contact the torso of the operator when using the invention. Additionally, with the NSN shooters are said to feel significantly less recoil than experienced with a shoulder stock, as the impact-absorbing foam pads retard rearward firearm motion more effectively than conventional shoulder stock designs, leading to faster follow-up shots and increased comfort.

SOTech Introduces a Custom Scabbard for Snipers – The Fat Magnum

Friday, August 31st, 2012

The new SOTech Sniper Scabbard (AKA the Fat Magnum) was designed as a modular weapon carry system which can be built up or down depending on mission requirements and the needs of the Sniper. SOTech first introduced Sniper systems in 2002 with Las Vegas metro PD SWAT and this is the latest evolution of the rifle scabbard design. They invested three years of development to get it into its current configuration and is currently undergoing evaluation in the hands of both Allied and US Snipers.

The first challenge was to work out the physics associated with stabilizing a top heavy load, in a fluid environment. For example, horizontal, vertical, and rotational torque all needed to be neutralized. Not only did SOTech succeed in doing this, they found a way for the Sniper to have the option of running his weapon barrel up, down, or in a folded configuration. They, they found a way to carry the load along with a very large pack, or to run with the system with only the scabbard and rifle making it the first totally modular system on the market.

Specifically, the Sniper Scabbard was developed in improve upon existing carry solutions that have these consistent issues.

1- Lack of stability when moving
2- All or nothing design which does not allow end user configuration
3- You can only carry your rifle barrel down

SOTech knew they could address these issues in an innovative and unique manner, and deliver a product which a Sniper wants in combat.

With SOTech’s system you are able to build it up or down depending on your mission, weight requirements, and time on target. It was designed by a Sniper, with input from former and current operators, who understand what you need and what it takes to complete the mission. SOTech started this project with durability and dependability being the primary factors, then focused on redundancy and making sure this was the best product they could develop. All components are American Made, Berry Compliant, and were all assembled and configure in Carson, California, just south of Los Angeles.

This is a proprietary design protected by patent, and we can not show the interior key design elements as they are restricted to actual customers only, not the general public.

Finally, it’s important to note, a portion of each scabbard sale will go to both AmericanSnipers.org and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

21st Century Gunfighter LLC and United States Shooting Academy – Muzzle Device Comparison Pt I

Monday, August 27th, 2012

21st Century Gunfighter LLC and United States Shooting Academy got together to take a look at muzzle devices. There are loads of them out there so it’s good to see someone take a look at them. They are right up front about stating that this isn’t a scientific test but that they have mitigated random influences as much as reasonably possible. All demos were preformed on the same day, with the same gun and the same ammunition, by the same shooters. This is a shooting evaluation so it’s subjective, but interesting.

We recommend you take a look at the entire series.

PNW Arms Introduces Supercavitating Underwater Bullets

Sunday, August 26th, 2012

PNW Arms has introduced a new Supercavitating Underwater Bullet. It’s designed for use in maritime environments where you might want to engage submerged or partially submerged targets. Typically .308 bullets will only go through three to four (3-4) jugs at most. This example shows it going through 13 one gallon jugs, a steel plate, and then another jug. In waterborne operations this general purpose version of the projectile can go over 15 meters underwater and then have positive effects on target.
