Mission First Tactical (MFT) Announces the MFT Extreme Duty Polymer Mag 7.62 X 51 NATO

September 14th, 2021

Available in 10 rounds, the MFT Extreme Duty Polymer Magazine utilizes new material technology and manufacturing processes for enhanced strength, durability, and reliability.

Horsham, Pa. (September 2021) – Mission First Tactical, LLC (MFT™), a leader in USA-made rifle/carbine accessories, is proud to introduce the MFT Extreme Duty Polymer Mag 7.62 X 51 NATO, available in a 10 round option. Designed for the AR10A/SR25/M1110 pattern rifles, the MFT Extreme Duty Polymer Mag has been optimized for use with SAAMI-spec 7.62×51 and .308 Winchester ammunition.

Manufactured using the newest material technology and processes, the Extreme Duty Polymer Magazines with their next-generation, long glass-fiber polymer construction offers perfection in structural performance: strength, durability, and reliability to exceed demanding military performance specs. A long-life USGI-Spec stainless steel spring is corrosion resistant. The four-way, anti-tilt, self-lubricating follower keeps the rounds aligned and makes mag feeding consistent and reliable, while virtually eliminating jams.

The front and rear of the gripping surface is ribbed for a positive grip, even with gloves. An oversized bolt-catch provides enhanced reliability of the bolt catch operation. The flared floor plate allows for an easier grip in handling and extraction and one-hand reloads. Wrapping up the multiple benefits to the Extreme Duty Polymer Mag 7.62 X 51 NATO is a paint dox matrix to allow for easy marking and identification of magazines and the tool-less disassembly with the double floor plate safety release tabs. Available in Black and Scorched Dark Earth with an MSRP of $22.99.

Mission First Tactical is proud to dedicate the new 7.62x51mm magazines to the memory of Frank DeSomma from Patriot Ordnance Factory. It was a privilege to work with him through the development process. He will be missed greatly!

Mission First Tactical products come with a Lifetime Warranty. For more information on Mission First Tactical, www.missionfirsttactical.com.

DSEi 21 – C2R FAST Chameleon

September 14th, 2021

The Chameleon is C2R FAST’s latest creation. It consists of a Base Carrier seen here which accepts skins in different colors and patterns, allowing you to change the camouflage of your vest without buying a new one.

Here’s an example. In less than a minute, this vest was transitioned to MultiCam Alpine.

Here you can see how it works. The skin features two openings which are stretched around Tegris lips to keep the skin aligned and in place.

If you can think of the pattern, they’ve got it, or can do it.

The Chameleon will be available for order as soon as C2R FAST launches their new website in the next few weeks.

Bloc Eyewear is a UK company. They have introduced a tactical line which includes various models of glasses and goggles. The frames are made from TR90 rather than nylon and they use a 2.5 mil lens, rather than 2.1 which is prevalent in industry. This lens has deleted a 1.1 gram projectile at 270 meters per sending. Additionally, the lenses meet ANSI and EU standards.

According to Bloc, their new goggle incorporates the world’s first ballistic, polarized lens. It is treated for anti-fog and meets ansi as well as EU safety ratings. Each Google comes with a clear, yellow and polarized smoke lens. Frames and steps are available in White, Black, Green and Tan.

Another concept they are working on is an NVG bracket compatible goggle for vehicle operators and law enforcement which allow the goggles to be attached to the helmet and moved up out of the way quickly.

Bloc Eyewear’s tactical is available in the UK from Brigantes.

DSEi 2021

September 14th, 2021

Today kicks off the 2021 Defence & Security Exhibition International at the eXcEl Centre in London. It’s the first international defense show I’ve attended since the beginning of the COVID pandemic.

DSEi is an “all-arms” show which showcases defense solutions from all of the warfighting domains so you’ll find warships along with personal role radios and small arms near jet fighters.

One of my favorite aspects of this show is how involved the UK forces are. Not only do bands from each of the armed services turn up to kick of each day’s events, but British service members are in many of the vendor booths which supply the military with various equipment to answer questions about how they use the gear and what they think about it.

Energetics Technology Ltd Launch Door Breaching Grenade

September 14th, 2021

A new breaching grenade technology developed by the UK Government has been licensed to Energetics Technology Limited (ETL) in a deal that will improve Explosive Method of Entry (EMOE) operations and improve safety for operatives.

UK-based ETL has taken a licence for a 40mm stand-off breaching grenade technology developed by Dstl; brokered by Ploughshare Innovations in its role as the MOD’s Technology Transfer Office.

The Grenade is designed for use in scenarios where there is a need to breach locked doors to gain access to a building or room. It deforms a variety of door materials – including multi-lock steel doors.

The improved directional control of the explosive blast lowers the risk to the breaching team and reduces their stand-off distance. Fragmentation effects behind the door are minimised, reducing collateral damage and highly targeted, there is also a reduced amount of explosives used.
