SOFIC – Bulldog Equipment
May 22nd, 2012We recently wrote about Bulldog’s Mortar and Machine Gunner’s Packs. The Mortar Pack already has a SOCOM NSN and the patent pending Machine Gunner’s Pack is in testing with several organizations.
Here are the ammo carriers which each accommodate up to 300 rounds. Additionally, this system saves 3.5 lbs off of a standard barrel bag and the system can fit any pack. This one is mounted on an ALICE frame.

SOFIC – PrecisionWerx Tomahawks
May 22nd, 2012PrecisionWerx has been around for 7 years but this family-owned business brings 65 years of experience in the rolls of machining and precision manufacturing. In addition to producing parts and assemblies for other companies in a variety of industries they have introduced a line of tomahawks.
SOFIC – DSArms RPD Carbine
May 22nd, 2012
DSArms showed us their RPD carbine. Most parts are manufactured in the US with the exception of a few that originate in Poland. They’ve added a new buffer system that lowers the firing rate to 500-525 rpm and actually makes it easier to cock. Additionally, they’ve integrated a new fore end that features mil std 1913 rails (also compatible with existing RPDs). As you can see, there’s also an M4 carbine-style stock and MAG-style grip. The charging handle is non-reciprocating and has a folding handle. In spite of all of the changes (and more), they’ve dropped the weight to 13.5 lbs (about 2.5 lbs). This model is 7.62 x 39mm but look for info on more calibers soon (both NFA and semi).
SOFIC – ArmorWorks Protective Combat Shirt
May 22nd, 2012
ArmorWorks has applied lessons from the Protective Under Garment program to a Combat Shirt. The green panels (contrasted for effect) are aramid and help mitigate injuries. Also, note the under sleeve.

MultiCam Materials – Omega
May 22nd, 2012
Every two weeks SSD showcases a different MultiCam print fabric from Duro Textiles LLC. This week, we are covering Omega. MultiCam is a single camouflage pattern designed to hide the wearer in varied environments, seasons, elevations, and light conditions. After a great deal of commercial success and adoption by elements of US Special Operations Forces, in 2010 MultiCam was selected for use by the US Army as its Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern (OCP).
Duro’s Omega is a polyester mesh which offers a high tear strength matrix featuring a 2mm hole diameter. This means high breathability and the ability to look through fabric for camouflage applications. This product is commonly used for concealing vehicles as well as creating lightweight and high strength tactical gear. One place you will see it is on the new helmet covers from Crye Precision and FirstSpear. However, one of the best applications we have seen is Tactical Concealment Manufacturing Corp’s MCM Cobra with Hood which is a ghillie foundation.
Finished Width – 58 inches cuttable approximately
Finished Weight – 8 oz/yd² approximately
Fiber Content – 100% polyester
Mesh Holes – 10 per inch both directions
Tear Strength – 16 lbs typical both directions

Tactical Concealment’s MCM Cobra with Hood is a great ghillie foundation. It’s cloak-like design is intended for use as an “Assaulter’s Ghillie” and can be worn in conjunction with combat equipment such as armor vests and load carrying systems as well as low profile backpacks. Additionally, the hood is oversized to accommodate a helmet. Notice that the sleeves are short so that it won’t impede your ability to operate your weapon or other equipment. Finally, Tactical Concealment has bartacked a grid of 550 parachute cord along the hood, arms and back of the garment in order to add garnish and customize the Cobra for your own use.
