SHOT Show – Hill & Mac Gunworks

January 22nd, 2016

DSC07415

About mid last year, we wrote about Hill & Mac Gunworks’ planned modern interpretation of the StG 44, the HMG Sturmgewehr. For those eager to know about the progress of the HMG Sturmgewehr, we’re happy to reveal that at this year’s SHOT Show, H&M had several completed models available at their booth. Seen above is the STG-N model, which features a long stroke piston action, a 16.1″ barrel length, and fixed front and rear adjustable sights. Like the original, the HMG Sturmgewehr is made of stamped metal and wood furniture; it’s expectedly hefty (11 lbs., 10 oz. unloaded), but feels extremely solid. Plus, as originally promised by H&M, multiple calibers will be offered for the rifle:

  • 5.56x45mm/.223
  • 7.62x39mm
  • .300 BLK
  • And the original 7.92x33mm/8mm Kurz
  • H&M will also be offering the HMG Sturmgewehr in a pistol and SBR configuration. Look forward to the release of the HMG Sturmgewehr later this year.

    Visitors to this year’s Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT) in Las Vegas, Nevada can try on military face paint that is enabling troops to stay concealed from enemy combatants.

    In any military operation the ability to stay concealed from the enemy to maximize the element of surprise is vital.

    SHOT Show – PWS / Direct Action

    January 22nd, 2016

    PWS is hosting Poland’s own Direct Action in their booth #7203.  They’ve had some bags out for awhile but last year they started completely revamping their line.  I got a chance to check their new stuff out at a private viewing during MiliPol and I was blown away with their attention to detail and innovative design.

      
    This is their first public showing anywhere.  If you are at SHOT Show you need to check it out.  

    SHOT Show – Propper

    January 22nd, 2016

    Every year, Propper has a whole slew of new products. Here is an overview.
    This is the Packable Backpack. It’s made from a lightweight ripstop polyester with DWR coating. Also available in a duffle, it’s only $29.00.

     

    Here’s a quick update on Propper’s series 100 and 200 boot line we first told you about last SHOT Show. The series 100 is available in 6″ and 8″ in both Coyote (AR 670-1 compliant) and Black. The series 200 adds a Vibram sole Aegis antimicrobial lining and option drilux waterproof lining. Also available in 6″ and 8″ in both Coyote (AR 670-1 compliant) and Black. Both boots include a precision fit kit.

     

    These are their new Stretch Tactical Pant. It’s made from a stretch micro ripstop. It’s the same fit profile of their popular Tactical Pant but gives you some room when you move. These will be $49.99.

     

    This the 4PV for Four Panel Vest and it’s Propper first foray into concealable body armor.  The real magic is in the side panel to provide more coverage, a more comfortable fit and easier sizing.  NIJ Level II, IIIA and Spike protection.
