Tyr Tactical has posted photos of a new Sniper Bandoleer on their Facebook page. The concept is that it can be worn over the shoulder and then laid out in front of the shooter to work out of.
According to Tyr, here is the Sniper Bandoleer “Outfitted with MR701 x 2, MR704 x 2, CM005 x 1, GP057 x 1, ODMUT2 x 1 provides load carriage for 6 x 7.62 Mags, Laser Range Finder, Kestrel, Accuracy First Whiz Wheel, Leatherman MUT, General Purpose Pouch (5″x 7″)”
On October 23, 1983 at 6:22 AM, a large delivery truck drove to the Beirut International Airport where US Marines, serving as part of a multinational force were billeted. They were in Lebanon to help keep the peace in a land torn asunder by internal strife, fueled by outside influence.
The truck contained 12,000 lbs of TNT. The driver detonated the truck bomb and in this cowardly act killed 220 Marines 18 Navy personnel and three Soldiers, along with sixty Americans injured.
Unfortunately, the deaths did not end there. Two minutes later, the barracks of the French contingent was attacked with a bomb killing 58 paratroopers from the 1st Parachute Chasseur Regiment and wounding another 15.
To make the day even more tragic, the Lebanese janitor of the American barracks as well as the wife and four children of a Lebanese janitor at the French building were also killed.
Remember all of them and their sacrifice today.
AAC debuted the Honey Badger at AUSA. It was designed as a replacement for the venerable MP5 which will soon see its 50th birthday. However, the Honey Badger offers a couple of advantages. First, it is chambered for the .300 blackout cartridge. This means the weapon can fore both super and subsonic ammo. Additionally, it is based on the Stoner design which requires little transition from the M4.
Here you can see the Honey Badger’ two lengths of hand guards.
