In this 20th edition of the weekly FirstSpear Friday Focus, we’ll take a look at the Breakdown Transport Bag.
I really like the sleek lines of this bag. It will hold an AR style upper and lower and incorporates 6/12™ attachment points on one inside wall for MOLLE/PALS, 6/9™ or 6/12™ pockets. For transport, the Breakdown Transport Bag has sling attachment points and a carry handle as well as attachment points for optional ECP backpack straps.
Today marks the 70th anniversary of the Normandy invasion by Allied forces signaling the final push into mainland Europe.

The Bodyguard Blanket is a bullet resistant body cover designed to protect from firearms and inclement weather including tornadoes. The blanket consists of two ballistic materials which provide a level of protection consistent with Level IIIa NIJ standard. It can either be wrapped around or strapped onto a person to offer protection.
It’s an interesting concept, but it’s also $1000 a unit. They also claim that children can interlock like Romans interlocked shields to repel attacks.
TrackingPoint recent released a video demonstrating how their networked tracking scope technology can be integrated with wearable technology such as Google Glass to view and make accurate shots around corners, in unsupported positions, and around barricades.
