According to the Winston-Salem Journal, body armor manufacturer KDH is laying off 280 in January at their Eden, North Carolina plant due to the end of Government orders.
KDH manufacturers the IOTV for the Army as well as the IMTV and Plate Carrier for the USMC.
This lay off is hoped to be temporary as KDH works to bring in LE business, but the slow down will affect almost two-thirds of their work force.
Paul Howe is a Mogadishu Vet and has seen combat from a perspective shared by few. As is the case with most of the men from his Unit, when he talks, I listen. Now, Panteao Productions has released a new video with Paul that concentrates specifically on Combat Mindset, an issue that is difficult to incorporate into traditional range-based training.
Preparing yourself mentally for the fight is critical. Your success against an aggressor will depend on not just your skill-set but also your mindset. In this video Paul Howe reviews important topics like motivation to survive, fear and negative thoughts, mental programming, how to handle stress, tactical confidence, medical self-aid, and more.
Granite Tactical Gear CHIEF Operation Manual

King’s Arsenal designed the rifle around the Hornady A-MAX .50BMG ammunition and this prototype is around a half to 3/4 MOA gun.
They’ve certainly combined all of the right ingredients. Built on a Cadex Defence Strike 50 chassis which accommodates the McMillan Tac 50 action (both old and new style). King’s Arsenal also used a 28″ Lija barrel and a McMillan brake. Additionally, they’ve applied a Cerakote finish to the rifle in Tan (minus bolt) to match the Cadex chassis.
They’ve topped this one off with a Nightforce Optics 5.5x22x50 NXS with NP-R2 illuminated reticle optic.
It’s not on their website yet so email Jordan@kingsarsenal for full details.

The much anticipated Fusion Modular Mount from Unity Tactical is finally available for pre-order. Fusion is really a system consisting of a base which UT refers to as a Hub as well as adapters for accessories such as lights, lasers, optics, and other ancillary equipment. The strength of Fusion is that, as new items are introduced and TTPs change, there’s no need to purchase an entirely new mount. All you’ll need to do is reconfigure your setup with adapters. It’s kind of like a mount version of a Legos construction set.
The Picatinny standard hub is constructed from precision milled 6061-T6 aluminum that is Type 3 anodized in Black or FDE and features four mounting surfaces; a top surface, forward surface, and two wing surfaces. Additionally, the wing accessories are reversible. Incidentally, these wing accessory adapters are also compatible with UT’s Ops-Core ARC rail adapter as well as the Tubular Rail Adapter.
Here are a few configurations to give you an idea of how the Fusion’s components can be set up.
