We interrupt our SHOT Show coverage to bring you the new US Space Force emblem, recently tweeted by President Trump.
And for those of you who think that USSF doesn’t need camouflage in space, do you actually believe that they go there?

SHOT Show 20 – Gentex TBH-R1
January 24th, 2020The new TBH-R1 from Gentex is a rifle rated helmet. It incorporates everything you love about Gentex helmets, Modular Bungee Shroud, Ops-Core ARC Rails and liner/suspension systems. It’s offered in High, Mid and Low cut in a variety of colors.
What the TBH-R1 also offers is ballistic protection against 7.62×51 M80 NATO Ball along with handgun protection from 9mm 124gr FMJ and others. Naturally, it also offers Frag protection you to 17gr with a V50 at 3,190 FPS.
SHOT Show 20 – Reebok Strikepoint
January 24th, 2020
Coming this April from Reebok is the Strikepoint which promises to be the lightest Berry compliant boot on the market. What’s more, it’s also AR 670-1 compliant.
They worked with Vibram to get the weight down and left out the liners in the upper so it’s much more like a traditional jungle boot construction.
SHOT Show 20 – Grey Ghost Gear Introduces New Back Panels
January 24th, 2020Grey Ghost Gear showed a full line of zip on back panels for armor vests.
They’ve even got an adapter for those vests without incorporated zippers.
The panels use the same zippers as the Crye systems so there’s some compatibility here in both directions.
SHOT Show 20 – Tardigrade Industries’ OCELLUS Armored Eyewear
January 24th, 2020
Tardigrade Industries‘ OCELLUS line of Armored Eyewear is amazing. They showed is an early version and they’ve come a long way. They have met STANAG body armor rating for frag as well as other threats.
They’ve vastly improved the form factor to something more akin to a low profile goggle than the SCUBA mask-like earlier version. One of the next steps is integration of an Rx insert.
SHOT Show 20 – B&T APC10
January 24th, 2020
APC10? That’s right, B&T has introduced a 10mm version of their popular subgun. I got a chance to shoot it at Range Day and it’s a very smooth gun.
It features their new dual auto-folding, non-reciprocating charging handle and a side positioned bolt hold open/release. You can also customize the gun thanks to removable M4 compatible grip as well as a plethora of stock options. Better yet, the APC10 accepts Glock magazines.
SHOT Show 20 – ACTinBlack DTNVS
January 24th, 2020The new DTNVS from ACTinBlack combines lightweight materials and a low profile while folded to the helmet to reduce neck strain during extended missions. Remember, ACTinBlack offers chassis which others assemble into full goggles. This means it weighs around 500 grams when combined with US tubes and glass.
The DTNVS goggle has a full feature set with individual sideways ON/OFF for each eyepiece and Flip-Up ON/OFF when folded up preventing backsplash on the helmet.
To complete the DTNVGs’ features it incorporates built-in IR LED for close quarter missions with separate IR-ON indicator and low battery indicator in the field of view. It is waterproof to 20m and boats a 30hour battery life.
