March 30th, 2018Team MultiCam Releases Next Video in Ambassador Profile Series
March 30th, 2018
Brooklyn, NY, March 30, 2018 – MultiCam®, the combat-proven, complete family of concealment solutions for those who demand the best, has announced the next video in their Team MultiCam® Brand Ambassador series with the release of the JD Potynsky Documentary feature.
This next video in the series, set to premiere Friday, March 30th on MultiCam®’s YouTube channel, is focused on the competitive motorcycle racer and founder of Northern Red Inc., and his mission to instill the proven tactics and mindsets he learned as a soldier, on to civilians, law enforcement, and military.
Potynsky is a decorated veteran, having served as a Green Beret from the US Army’s 3rd Special Forces Group, with combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. After leaving the Army he deployed again to Iraq for a private security company. Upon his return, Potynsky founded Northern Red Inc, a training facility established to bring current and relevant combat tactics and instruction to military, law enforcement and responsible citizens. Their focus is opposition-based training, the real world application of marksmanship and tactics.
In his spare time, Potynsky performs as a highly skilled motorcycle racer, applying the same focused mindset he instills in his students to the track. He also imparts that same wisdom to aspiring motorcycle racers with former racer-turned-coach, Ken Hill.
MultiCam® is proud to showcase the talents and relentless mindset of Potynsky. The company has proudly supported the men and women in uniform, as well as their families, for their sacrifices in ensuring the protection of our freedoms. It is MultiCam®’s goal to focus their efforts on raising as much money as possible for the Warriors Heart through its marketing channels including its brand ambassadors on Team MultiCam®.

JM4 Tactical Sews Molded Boltaron Polymer To Hermann Oak Leather
March 30th, 2018Creates Revolutionary New, Quiet Concealed Carry Gun Holster
Abilene, Texas – March 29, 2017
JM4 Tactical is proud to announce the release of their brand-new patent pending gun holster: Reliable, Easy, Light, Individual, Carry, otherwise known as “RELIC.” RELIC revolutionizes concealed carry in that it adds the quiet delicateness of leather to a strong molded polymer called Boltaron.
JM4 Tactical uses a proprietary holster forming technology that allows them to combine these two, otherwise incompatible materials, to make one of the quietest, most durable gun holsters ever made.
Proudly made in the United States of America with massive support for hundreds of different gun models, JM4 Tactical is set to revolutionize the concealed carry world, yet again. And, they will do so with the launch of four different RELIC models:
• Appendix
• Tuckable IWB
• Hybrid
• Paddle
Each model takes US-Manufactured Boltaron Polymer, and sews Hermann Oak Grade A U.S. Steer hide to the interior of the shell that not only protects the gun’s finish from harsh plastics, but also allows for quiet drawing and re-holstering.
Chad, co-owner of JM4 Tactical had this to say about why RELIC Holsters use both leather and the US made polymer known as Boltaron, “We have determined 3 major issues with traditional plastic holsters: deformation and cracking due to extreme temperatures, damage to the firearm due to the hard plastic, and they are just rather loud when holstering and unholstering the firearm. The RELIC Holster solves all of these problems.”
The new RELIC Holsters are now available in JM4 Tactical’s online store, and prices start at $94.97 for the Appendix, Tuckable IWB, and Paddle models, with the Hybrid coming in at $139.97.
Polymule Take 2
March 29th, 2018All-terrain carts remain a great way to move heavy and bulky loads in austere environments. The team behind the Polymule crowdfunding project has improved the product and reintroduced it on Indiegogo.
Polymule offers 20 inches of ground clearance, 400 lbs of payload capacity but the biggest improvement to the design is the introduction of uphill assist which keeps the wheels from rolling backward as you negotiate hills and obstacles.
Additionally, Polymule can be used as a rooftop carrier.
Available in Goldenrod, Desert Tan, and Moss Green.
The original design raised $25,000 in 30 days on Kickstarter. They just launched their new design and raised $26,000 in the first 18 hours on Indiegogo. Those interested in getting in on the project, visit www.indiegogo.com/projects/polymule-the-all-terrain-cart-with-uphill-assist-sports-innovation
Applied Ballistics Wins Military Contract to Advance Extreme Long-Range Sniper Capability
March 29th, 2018Precision Shooting Tech Company Funded to Advance Extreme Long-Range Sniper Capability
Cedar Springs, MI: Applied Ballistics LLC, a Michigan-based tech company focused on advancing the state of the art in long range rifle shooting, has been awarded a $1.3M contract by the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) to execute Phase 1 of the Extreme Sniper Strike Operations (ESSO) project.
Phase 1 of the ESSO project is focused on advancing the predictive capabilities of modern ballistic solvers by performing Doppler radar measurement and modeling of current service rounds at Extreme Long Range (ELR) as a function of gyroscopic stability, and refining the models of secondary ballistic effects such as spin rate decay and spin drift at ELR. Phase 1 will conclude with the ballistic modeling enhancements being integrated into the existing Applied Ballistics ecosystem of electronic devices which are currently deployed by numerous US and allied armed forces around the world. Phase 1 is scheduled for completion in late 2018.
Phase 2 of the ESSO project is a potential follow on (2019) that focuses on the development and fielding of an advanced ELR sniper rifle system designed to drastically increase first round hit probability at ELR on man sized targets. The Applied Ballistics Weapons Division is currently conducting research and development on weapons platforms, as well as new cartridge and bullet options, that will maximize ELR ballistic performance from lightweight, practical, magazine fed systems.
Bryan Litz, owner of Applied Ballistics LLC, said: “Our team of Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical and Computer Science Engineers and Technicians will apply our combined experience including years of testing and competing in ELR Shooting to the successful completion of the ESSO program objectives. This means extending the maximum effective range of US and allied snipers, achieving decisive overmatch on the battlefield. I can’t imagine a better application of Applied Ballistics’ collective efforts.”
