Shown at Blade Show, the upcoming Active Shooter Axe by RMJ Tactical was designed specifically for use by LEOs.
It includes all of the functionality of the Shrike in a more compact form factor which will be less obtrusive and fit into an active shooter or trunk bag. It is well suited for Breaking Locks amd other Breaching as well as Rescue. We also heard that it’s quite handy for chopping marijuana.
British kit producer C2R Fast was tasked with a customer to provide to provide several capabilities. In particular, they wanted a set of three things – lightweight shelter, thermal blanket and an air marker panel. After some deliberation, C2R Fast decided to combine all three into one product.
Lightweight ripstop Multicam on the outer and ripstop nylon on the reverse with a thermal layer in between, this is able to fold up nice and small but can be used as a marker panel, is long enough to become a lightweight survival sleeping bag, and with tabs and loops in the right places, as a lightweight shelter.
Once you get your hands on a multifunction item like this, its use is only limited by the imagination.
It’s been awhile since we’ve last heard from SPECOPS.PL, the Poland-based tactical gear company. They’ve recently undergone a major restructuring, and are now coming out even stronger for 2015. They are currently undergoing the following developments:
– MBS-3 – heavy-duty uniform for SF operations
– MBS-K93 – simple, light uniform for general infantry use.
– LMCS-3 – ultralight, low-drag uniform for combat training and DA.
Additionally, SPECOPS.PL is looking for new international distributors in Europe and USA – if anyone is interested, they can contact stopniak@gmail.com.

They’re still about a month out but work is coming along nicely on GSS Gear’s new location on Laskin Road here in Virginia Beach. They expect to movie in mid-July and we can’t wait to check it out.
UPDATE: Apparently, these items are made with genuine fabric but not under official license. For example, some of the design features infringe on Crye Precision patents such as the kneepad interface.

The sleeves are made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop, including bicep pockets and Velcro loop fields for ID and morale patches; the wrists also feature Velcro straps. The torso is composed of FAVO (Honeycomb) 528 fabric developed exclusively for FORHONOR, which facilitates moisture absorption and quick evaporation.

Airstep Army, possibly under the same parent company as FORHONOR, has also produced a MultiCam Combat Boot. The boot features a MultiCam leather and 1000D cordura nylon upper, with a nylon aerated system lining, which enables internal cooling. The camouflaged sole is made of anti-slip rubber, with traction grip at the front and rear and a structure of ribs that prevent aquaplaning.
