Unity Tactical FUSION Friday

July 20th, 2018

FUSION, by Unity Tactical, is a system of modular, multi-purpose components that provide end users unparalleled flexibility in mounting accessories to weapon platforms.  It offers complete control in attachment of lights, lasers, sights, and other equipment to achieve complete integration, optimal placement, lightest weight, and most economy of space.

fusion-config-1a-breakout.jpg

This FUSION configuration features the Micro Hub 2.0, Backup Iron Sight – Folding, and Lightwing – Left.  The build is mounted in front of an AN/PEQ-15 laser and supports a Surefire M600U Scout Light.  Mounting the Micro Hub forward of a laser allows a pressure switch (shown here with TAPS) to be snugged right up behind the laser body for easy access to both onboard and remote controls.  The Micro Hub is extremely low profile, creating no interference with lasers.  The Backup Iron Sight – Folding is narrow enough to easily fit between the apertures of dual output lasers.  The Lightwing will readily accept direct-mount of Surefire Scout and Millennium series weapon lights, as well as Streamlight PROTAC Rail-Mount lights.  This Lightwing is the Left Side variant, but mounted backwards on the right side of the rifle – cantilevering the light within the footprint of the rail.  Attaching lights to the Lightwing raises them up above the bore and tucks them tighter under the laser body for an extremely compact package.

FUSION Config 1B BreakOut

FUSION components are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and MILSPEC Type 3 anodized.  Designed and made in the US from US materials and good ole’ fashioned American innovation.  FUSION is the original and best modular accessory mounting system.  Make your gear work for you, not the other way around.

FUSION components are available from Unity Tactical and authorized dealers to build your perfect setup.
