Rampart Range Day – MulePAC

May 26th, 2015

 Shipping containers might not seem that interesting but it sure gets your attention if your supplies are crushed when you get them. The MulePAC (Portable All-mode Container) is designed for transportation and storage.of military supplies, including water, and is a more robust option than the standard tri-wall container.   

On one airdrop exercise a 1400 load in a MulePAC burned in but the fuel blivet and sandbags had nary a scratch.

Rampart Range Day – MTEK Weapon Systems

May 26th, 2015

  
MTEK Weapon Systems has been working on helmet technology for a little over two years but now they’ve cracked the code on a one-piece undercut helmet.  Their Future Lightweight UnderCut System or FLUX is available in a vented and nonvented carbon bump as well as a ballistic helmet.

  
This ballistic model’s shell 1.1 lbs with a full helmet is about 1.9 lbs with full suspension, shroud and rails. In addition to featuring an undercut back, it is less than .25″ thick yet meets the ACH 17 grain v50 standard. Additionally, the shell has met NIJ level IIIA in testing but has not yet been certified while MTEK awaits final production suspension parts from the vendor.  You may notice the rail retainers which are adhered to the FLUX shell. This means that no holes are drilled in the shell to mount accessories.  In addition to the MTEK rails, the helmet will comes complete with Wilcox shroud.

Rampart Range Day – Aku

May 26th, 2015

The Aku NS564 Bosco has been a great militarized trekking shoe for the last decade.  Unfortunately, supply here in North America has been difficult.  Today I met up with the North American distributor.  In addition to Rampart International in Canada, they are available in the U.S. Through Procurement Specialists.  

  
Above, is the NS564 Spider.  It’s a slight modification to the classic model (which is still available), adding a rubber rand along the edge of the toe in order to counter wear.  The NS564 family has a tighter toe box than Aku’s Pilgrim models which were introduced a couple of years ago.  This is because of their use as an approach or urban climbing boot.
