We’ve recently received the latest iteration of ZERO POINT’s B-Bit Kit. The B-Bit Kit is part of ZERO POINT’s Access line, featuring virtually everything needed to undo, tighten, remove, or fix anything with either SAE or Metric fasteners. Included within the B-Bit Kit is a high-quality miniature 64-tooth ratchet, wide mouth adjustable pliers, and most commonly used 1/4″ drive bits. This comes within a small custom carry case which is available in multiple colors.

ACS – The Trigger Pouch
December 10th, 2015
I first checked out ACS’ Trigger Pouch at MiliPol while walking around with the guys from Knight’s Armamemnt. It is a PALS-mountable, quick-deployment device for grenades and distraction devices such as flashbangs, developed by two operatives from the Israeli elite counter terror unit YAMAM and manufactured by Advanced Combat Solutions. It secures the grenade or distraction device within its housing, where it can be quickly pulled away and deployed in one swift, fluid motion.
The Trigger Pouch is currently available for the M67 frag grenade and CTS/CTI & Safariland Flashbangs, with other grenades. Trey Knight got a sample which he plans on using during his next grenade throw day at the range.

Blank Safe Live Round Interrupter
December 10th, 2015
The BlankSafe is a Live Round Interrupter intended to stop live rounds from fully chambering during training scenarios where blank rounds are in use. The BlankSafe LRI was developed by two US Navy SEALs who had personally witnessed multiple incidents where personnel under training conditions mistakenly loaded a live round during training. The LRI seats within the chamber of a rifle, allowing blank rounds to load and fire, however stopping live rounds from fully chambering.
The LRI causes a .27″ interrupt distance within the firing chain of an M4 rifle when a live round is loaded, preventing the weapon from firing.
Below is the White Paper for the BlankSafe LRI:
