Bounce Imaging Tactical Throwable Cameras are a ball-shaped camera system with multiple lenses embedded. All six of the cameras are on simultaneously, so you can see 360 degrees all of the time. Output is to a smartphone/tablet or VR via Google Cardboard. Range is up to 60 feet.

The cameras maintain 360 deg horizontal stability. That’s vertical and horizontal video stability even as the system rolls, bounces, or hangs on a rope.

What’s more, the imagery can be shared. There’s a camera-generated WiFi network for the local team, long-range extenders, and cloud-sharing of video on the other side of the state, country, or world.

Durable, the Tactical Throwable Camera has been tested to sustain up to 25 drops from seven feet into concrete.

ADS Federal Range Day 20 – Otis Suppressor Cleaner and Reclaimer

August 26th, 2020

We gave you a sneak peek of the Otis Suppressor Cleaner and Reclaimer during SHOT Show. Since then, it’s gotten a new name and they’ve finalized the design as well as introduced a Six Unit System to complement the original, Single Unit System. As you can see, the Six Unit System is much larger, and is best floor mounted.

The OSCR-1 has a basket for individual components which the larger model does not. However, the OSCR-6 incorporates wheels and handles for movement.

Regardless of size, the OSCR removed more than 90% of carbon, copper, and lead fouling from the suppressor’s baffles in as little as two hours.

ADS Federal Range Day 20 – Internal Scope Cap by Lirces3, LLC

August 26th, 2020

Lirces3, LLC is a Veteran Owned small business. Seth, the owner developed the Internal Scope Cap for the best reason ever, necessity. He was tired of the issue scope covers warping and then breaking when exposed to the sun. Seth ought to know; he served in both OIF and OEF.

The ISC accomplishes three “Optical Obfuscation” functions:

-Conceals flash or glint from reflection

-Incorporates an iris to limit, or completely close off light through the optic

-Incorporates a laser filter to protect the sniper or observer’s eyesight from laser threats

Finally, it protects the lenses of the optic.

Although the ISC was developed for use with Rifle Scopes, it can also be used with Binoculars, Spotting Scopes, Night Vision Goggles and Thermal Cameras. This is thanks to a rubber boot or scope specific adapting ring.

Although the system defeats IR pulse laser detection systems used on stacked optics. this isn’t just for military use. These same threats, including laser, are being directed against law enforcement officers. It can also be used by the sportsmen and armed citizen alike.
