NRA Life Of Duty – Outlaw Platoon – Part 1

June 24th, 2013

Part 1 of the two-part NRA Life of Duty series ‘Outlaw Platoon’, based on the book of the same name, is now available online. Part 2 is scheduled to be released July 17th, with a trailer available July 3rd.

In 2006, a platoon of men stationed near the Pakistani border sat in the crosshairs of some of the Taliban’s best trained and fiercest fighters. They were not elite members of any Special Forces team or Special Operations Command, but front line Infantry soldiers caught in the crossfires. Foot soldiers by design, but outlaws at heart.

This is the miraculous story of how a small collection of soldiers became a band of brothers, forging an unforgettable bond – from the New York Times best-selling book of the same name, written by Sean Parnell, platoon leader and US Army Ret.

MTek Weapon Systems Introduces Curvilinear Ballistic Armor

June 23rd, 2013

To me, it’s always exciting when a small, Veteran owned business makes a stride forward. I’m looking forward to taking a look at their ballistic data.

From their Facebook Page:
“Time for a major update! We’re always telling you how busy we are and can never say what we’re working on. All this talk of revolutionizing personal armor. Well, we finally have something we can show you! Keep in mind, the following data is PRELIMINARY ONLY until we complete additional testing! How about a “drop in” replacement flight helmet and mandible 4x more ballistic resistant than the current issue! How about a 1.5lb ballistic plate or a 2lb helmet (total weight)? We’re not releasing ballistic data on the prototypes yet, but you’re quite possibly looking at some of the most advanced, lightest weight armor in development. We now have the ability to rapidly manufacture lightweight, highly curvilinear ballistic armor. We are Ironman
