INFORCE Auto Pistol Light

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

We first showed you the new INFORCE Auto Pistol Light from Emissive Energy Corp during last month’s Maneuver Conference at Ft Benning. It offers 200 lumens of white light in a tight beam for close- to mid-range applications and balanced peripheral light for discernment of the surrounding area. The APL has a run time of approximately 1.5 hours using a single Lithium CR123A battery.

Designed with a straightforward, unique, bilateral and ambidextrous paddle switching system, the INFORCE APL affords left or right hand activation and natural finger movement from the weapon body to the switch to operate its momentary and constant modes.

Manufactured from fiber composite, the APL has a total length of 3 inches, width of 1.2 inches and weighs only 2.83 ounces, including the battery.

Currently it’s only available in Black although the yellow light on the show floor gave it a brownish sheen. Its integrated rail mounting system is compact, convenient, secure and easy to install without tools, utilizing a proprietary clamping system. The product ships with (2) rail mounting bars that accommodate GLOCK and MIL-STD-1913 rails.

Initial delivery is expected to be in late October 2012. US and International patents pending.

Lancer Lightweight Carbon-Fiber Handguard

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

The Lightweight Carbon-Fiber Handguard from Lancer is pretty cool. It’s a free float handguard for 5.56mm AR type rifles and 7.62mm AR type rifles.

The carbon fiber tube is attached to the receiver extension with fasteners so no bonding is required. Additionally, the handguard will remain free floated even if used on a rifle with a fixed sight post due to clearance between the end of the handguard and the fixed front sight post.

It integrates cooling slots that pull double duty as attachment points for Picatinny rail segments. You can customize the setup of your handguard by placing rails only where you need them. Where needed, aircraft grade 7075-T6 aluminum is used.

As you can see, Lancer offers the handguard in extra long, rifle and carbine lengths as well as mid-length (not shown).

Wolfhawk – The Knife That Mounts On Your Rifle

Saturday, September 29th, 2012

20120928-204455.jpg

Normally, a knife that mounts on your rifle its called a bayonet, unless it’s the Wolfhawk. A joint venture between Battle Blades and TOPS Knives, the Wolfhawk series utilizes a sheath that incorporates a Mil Std 1913 rail compatible mount.

Offered in two blade (Hunter and Tanto) and two handle (micarta and paracord) versions, it features a 3-1/4″ blade made from 1095 High Carbon steel (RC 56-58).

When I see things like this that are done simply because they can be, I fear we have invented everything.
