Check out the new G8 Carbon and G6 Carbon. Coming in March, they’ve integrated one of the lightest foam cushions in Deckers’ library of materials.
Borrowing from sister brand HOKA, the Carbon models feature a carbon plate for support and propulsion much like Hoka’s top running shoes.
Made from 1000D Cordura and waterproof suede, they’ll be offered in Coyote with wide zip models in Black for LE, EMS, and Fire. In addition to the 8″ model, there’s a 6″ version.
B&T USA is displaying their APC9 & SPC223 carbines.
The 9mm APC9 features an aluminum lower receiver with flared magwell and Elftman Tactical trigger. The MBT stock folds and offers 3-position comb and length of pull adjustment.
The handguard incorporates MLOK with a full length Picatinny rail at 12 o’clock.
Offered only in SBR configuration, they can be had with 8.9″ or 6.7″ barrel but there are only 500 of each available.
Chambered in .223, the SPC223 will not be available until late this year. It’s B&T’s take on a black rifle with a hydraulic buffer system and is full ambidextrous. The prototype you see here is a DI gun with a 10-position adjustable gas block, optimized for suppression, but the production model will likely be piston driven.
Coming in 11.5″ and 16″ barrel length. There will also be a .300 BLK model with a shorter barrel.
Mounted to this SPC223 is the MARS suppressor, a super lightweight can at 14 oz which was designed for a USMC requirement.
Exhibiting in the Darley Defense booth the Ghost Robotics team has been demonstrating the various capabilities of their Vision 60 Quadraped Unmanned Ground Vehicle seen in this photo from Ghost Robotics.
An unexpected capability is the ability to swim. Onyx Industries developed an appliqué called the Nautical Autonomous Unmanned Tail kit which uses a water jet to propel the Quadraped through water at a speed of 3 knots for over half an hour.
Onyx Industries provided this photo of the NAUT mounted to a Vision 60.
Made from FR Phase 1 which is one of the lightest most durable FR fabrics on the market, the ling sleeved Lightweight Assaulter Shirt joins the short sleeved version already on the market.
The fabric also features Acclimate Dry Moisture Management to wick sweat away from the body and dry rapidly as well as AG47 Silver Anti-Microbial to fight and eliminate harmful bacteria from your sweat, leaving you odor free.
When you hear Microtech you immediately think about automatic openers but they’ve got a new folder coming out next month that you should take a look at.
The blade is 390MK steel with a RAM-LOK bar lock and their iconic X button on both sides. Additionally, it features a Ti back spacer and reversible pocket clip. Finally, there will be G10 and carbon fiber handle options.
Microtech sent me this photo so you could get an idea what it would like like with a tan handle. It will also be offered in Black and Green.

Germany’s Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) has contracted with Rheinmetall for the conversion of modular medical equipment (MSE).
Worth a figure in the mid-single-digit million-euro range, the order will be complete by December 2023.
MSE containers comprise a family of modular ambulance facilities manufactured by Zeppelin Mobile Systeme. In the 1970s, various user states procured rescue station, rescue centre light, rescue centre and emergency hospital variants, which are now undergoing a comprehensive overhaul.
MSE rescue centres and field hospitals are used in Bundeswehr areas of operation. Individual systems are designed for special tasks such as the generation and supply of medical gases in the equipment supply container, or GVC. In deployed operations, the technical and medical equipment of the GVC supports the adjacent operating theatre. The container systems are CSC-classified, stackable and thus suitable for transport on container ships. The systems and their equipment are adapted in terms of scope and functionality.
Responsible for mobile deployable mission solutions, Rheinmetall Project Solutions GmbH has been pooling resources and capabilities for mission support since 2019. Rheinmetall AG created the company to handle services and projects for mission support. It provides customers with long-term mission support via specific services.
Dr. Deniz Akitürk, managing director of Rheinmetall Project Solutions GmbH, is proud of the new project: “Rheinmetall Project Solutions GmbH, in association with Rheinmetall Zeppelin Mobile Systeme, delivers comprehensive mission support. In addition to the construction and operation of forward operating bases, we also bundle protection and surveillance capabilities as well as medical expertise for our customers. As a system provider, we are pleased to be supporting the regeneration of medical equipment. In future, we could be modernizing a further 350 accommodation containers.”
The order underlines Rheinmetall’s high level of competence in mission support for the German Bundeswehr in the medical domain.
