B&T Brings Its Vast Suppressor Technology To The United States

January 14th, 2022

Tampa, FL (January 14, 2022) – During the last thirty years, B&T AG has become the industry’s premier suppressor producer, and has been selected to produce suppressors for most of Europe’s small arms manufacturers and many of Europe’s armed forces and Police agencies. In 2022, B&T suppressor availability is coming to the United States.

“We’re excited to introduce you to the next evolution of suppressors — our Reduced Backpressure System (RBS) line of SMG and rifle caliber suppressors” said Jon Scott, Vice President of Sales, B&T USA. “These revolutionary flow-thru suppressor designs feature a low-pressure chamber design to absorb a substantial amount of gas, thereby reducing back pressure. This significantly minimizes, and in some cases, eliminates excess gas pressure at the charging handle and ejection port locations, making the RBS a top choice for submachine guns, assault rifles and machine guns.”

B&T’s sound suppressors are world-renowned by tip of the spear professionals as being of the highest quality, most technologically advanced in both material and design, while being rugged enough to withstand the harshest environmental conditions and high-tempo firing schedules imaginable. Our product line extends from trick .22 caliber suppressors for civilian sport shooting all the way to .50 BMG sniper suppressors used by tier one anti-terror teams. Our line also includes specialized suppressors for light and medium caliber machine guns. Numbering nearly 500 different models for platforms of all kinds, our suppressor line can succinctly be described as thorough.

The NEW Micro6x Magnifier from Vortex Takes Your Red Dot 6x Farther

January 14th, 2022

BARNEVELD, Wis. – With a red dot, your carbine is already a versatile weapon, giving you the confidence you need to engage close-range targets. But now, there’s a simple way to stretch your effective range, with the new Micro6x Magnifier from Vortex®.

In addition to being the most compact 6x magnifier on the market, the Micro6x Magnifier provides an easy on, easy off flip mount, and everything you need to mount up right out of the box. You can take your pick of three mounting heights, from absolute co-witness, lower 1/3 co-witness, and 1.93 inches with included riser, and the adjustable flip mount easily allows for left- or right-handed use.

The camlock system engages and disengages with direct pressure, allowing you to raise and lower the magnifier quickly and easily, and the system is built to stand up to hard use in the field. Crisp optics round out an all-new way to hit harder and farther than you ever thought possible.

Maztech x Magpul Partner to Present the X4-FCS

January 14th, 2022

With a week of awesome new products from Magpul, this one was the most surprising and offers biggest chance at being a game changer.

The Army has long indicated their desire for a Round Counter capability to inform both the shooter and others an idea of how many rounds they have in their weapon as well as data on how many rounds the weapon has fired for maintenance. The X4-FCS does that and so much more.

Designed in conjunction with Maztech Industries, the X4-FCS is an appliqué for your existing LPVO, transforming it into a smart optic.

The system takes multiple independent inputs from around the firearm and fuses the data to communicate with the shooter (and others if needed) to build situational awareness on the target area and weapon status. The system provides powered or unpowered magazine awareness with data sent to multiple displays.

It offers a secure communications capability with Bluetooth, Near Field Communication and Ultra Wideband systems.

They aren’t stopping here. They anticipate other systems on the X4 roadmap integrate into the FCS to provide selectable inputs, ranging and target illumination, and shooter enhanced visual awareness.

The X4-FCS promises to do provide most, if not all of the capability of the recently selected Next Generation Squad Weapon – Fire Control except this can be used in conjunction with existing optics.

The photos shared here are of a developmental system and what Magpul shows at SHOT Show next week isn’t even the final product.

The Mission Configurable Chest Rig (MCCR) was designed with modularity in mind. This lightweight, versatile system can be run as a stand-alone chest rig (MCCR), or as a placard (MCP). The MCCR/MCP can be built to meet a wide range of operational requirements through the utilization of a host of accessory options including: 7 different magazine inserts, 2 radio inserts, MOLLE Side Flaps, a Kangaroo Zipper Top, and a Lower Abdomen Pouch.

The body is 10.5” long, 7” tall, 6.8oz and features: 5 rows of 6 column MOLLE, a kangaroo pouch for magazine inserts or the Kangaroo Zipper Top, a built-in map pocket, side envelope pockets to add radio inserts or MOLLE side flaps, and a bottom envelope pocket to add a Lower Abdomen Pouch. All pockets are secured with hook and loop VELCRO® brand closures.

The kangaroo pouch can hold the Double Pistol Insert and Double 5.56 Insert simultaneously or the Triple 5.56 Kydex Insert, Triple 5.56 Insert, Double 5.56 Insert, Double 7.62 Kydex Insert, Double 7.62 Insert, Quad MPX Insert, Double Pistol Insert, or the Kangaroo Zipper Top (in size small) solo.

Two MOLLE side flaps come standard with the MCCR to add two extra rows of storage capability. The MOLLE side flaps VELCRO® directly into the side envelop pockets. To increase versatility, you can also utilize one of the two radio insert accessories in place of the MOLLE side flaps: Side Flap Radio Pouch Motorola APEX and Side Flap Radio Pouch 148-152s.

Comfort is key, the MCCR harness comes with padded shoulder sleeves made of a stretch woven material. The material allows enough elasticity to permit room for cable/hydration tube routing and adds comfort while still maintaining a low-profile design. The harness features a 4 row x 4 column MOLLE panel for antenna relocation routing, hanging a hydration bladder pouch or additional accessories. The harness can be adjusted for 6” of height by moving the front ITW QASM Buckles vertically in the provided sewn slots.

Note: The MCCR and MCP do not come with magazine inserts, radio inserts, the Kangaroo Zipper Top, the Lower Abdomen Pouch, or any other accessories. Some of these additional accessories are needed for operational requirements. Some images display optional accessories that are sold separately. The Mission Configurable Chest Rig (MCCR) comes with a harness, a waist strap, and MOLLE side flaps only. The Mission Configurable Placard (MCP) comes with side flaps only.
