AmmoSquared Inc Raises over $300K in Seed Round

March 28th, 2020

AmmoSquared® utilized Wefunder.com, an equity crowdfunding site, to raise capital from customers and gun rights supporters to scale its unique ammunition subscription model to the mainstream market.

Boise, Idaho (March 2020) AmmoSquared® Inc., the online ammunition subscription site, has completed its equity crowdfunding round on Wefunder.com, raising nearly $313k from pro-gun investors to date.

Investors in AmmoSquared Inc. will receive Series Seed Preferred Stock at a $4.49m valuation. The company will use the funds to improve their current technology, build a more user-friendly platform, provide customers with more specific subscription options (down to the UPC level), and increase the current offering of 88 calibers to over 200, including calibers that are hard to find or are very expensive.

“I am very excited to welcome our new investors to AmmoSquared! It was always a personal goal of mine to open the business opportunity to small investors through an equity crowdfund. Many of our investors are also customers who saw the value of the service before anyone else did and so as new owners in the company, can now take part in our rapid growth.” Dan Morton, CEO of AmmoSquared Inc., commented.

AmmoSquared’s subscription formula allows customers to accumulate ammunition over time through a recurring purchase program. It is then stored securely and delivered on request or automatically via pre-set delivery triggers. During the current ammo shortage crisis, in which retail and online store shelves are out of stock, AmmoSquared customers are confidently able to receive their accumulated ammunition without issue.

New investors in AmmoSquared are betting that the company’s unique approach to selling ammunition, much like a 401K for ammo (minus the tax benefits, of course), will appeal to new and existing gun owners who want to stay stocked up on ammo, regardless of future market and social conditions.

Over the past year, there has been a surge in demand for the company’s ammunition accumulation program, with the current COVID-19 crisis and ammo shortage further highlighting the importance of AmmoSquared’s business model as a game-changer in the ammunition industry. Subscriber growth has increased over 200% from 12 months ago with a 27% increase in just the last three weeks alone.

AmmoSquared is currently accepting additional investments from Accredited Investors for a limited time. For investment information visit: ammosquared.com/invest

Unity Tactical – Remora for 3M Peltor Helmet Adapters

March 27th, 2020

Professional warriors face a constant struggle of combining various pieces of kit, made by various manufacturers, to meet their mission requirements. These items are usually not designed with integration in mind since the manufacturer is generally focused on making their own product to a certain government specification. Integration is therefore left up to the individual in the field, who finds creative ways to ghetto-rig components into a useable-enough solution. After all: warfighters can make anything work given enough 100mph tape, zip-ties, 550 cord, and Velcro; necessity being the mother of all invention. Unity Tactical is dedicated to providing industry-leading innovation in the category of systems integration. Basically: we make stuff that makes your stuff work better with other stuff.

Enter the Remora® for 3M Peltor™ Helmet Adapters. Based off the original Remora® for the popular MARK line of headset helmet adapters, this version is designed to integrate with factory 3M products. It provides a mechanically attached mounting surface for various lights and rings. Helmet-mounted spotlights are often used by warfighters and law enforcement professionals for searching dark areas during SSE, SAR, and other tactical operations. However, helmet real estate quickly disappears when helmet-mounted headsets are worn. The most ubiquitous headset mount is the factory unit from 3M Peltor™. Almost every other headset maker copies this proven design or purchases adapters direct from 3M. The large mounting hub leaves little-to-no rail left for other accessories, leaving end users to precariously attach mission critical lights and cameras via Velcro, tape, and zip-ties. The Remora® for 3M Peltor™ changes all that by integrating directly into the factory hub and placing a mounting platform directly above it.

The installation is quick and easy. It can even be done in the field with a multitool. Internal detents provide solid click rotational adjustments so the user can confidently position the light in a desired direction. The platform features standard M1913 Picatinny along with a footprint that accepts any device with a Scout base. It also accepts the popular Unity Tactical FUSION line of accessories. The Remora® for 3M Peltor™ will work with any 3M-style backplate for use on Ops-Core™, Team Wendy™, Crye Precision™, MTEK™, HHV™ helmets (and many more). It is injection molded from impact-resistant polymer and made in the U.S.A.

With an MSRP of $32, the Remora® for 3M Peltor™ is a cost-effective upgrade to any tactical helmet. The solid lockup helps ensure expensive lights and accessories will not be lost during kinetic operations. And it provides enhanced capability with easy access and solid rotation. Government pricing is available for unit/agency purchases. Available now.

COL Kurtz Shirt The Ma-Hallow by Bawidamann

March 27th, 2020

As part of Bawidamann’s Aloha Now collaboration with OTTE Gear, he has released the Ma-Hallow T-shirt depicting COL Walter E Kurtz in all of his maniacal splendor.

Well, you see Willard, in this war, things get confused out there: power, ideals, the old morality, practical military necessity. But out there with these natives, it must be a temptation to be god, because there’s a conflict in every human heart, between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil, and good does not always triumph. Sometimes, the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature. Every man has got a breaking point. You and I have one. Walter Kurtz has reached his, and very obviously, he has gone insane…
—?LTG Corman describing Kurtz to Willard

The horror.
