GA-ASI Opening New Remote Split Operation in North Dakota
GA-ASI OPENING NEW REMOTE SPLIT OPERATION IN NORTH DAKOTA
SAN DIEGO — 30 October 2026 — General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) held a ribbon cutting ceremony on October 30 at its Flight Test & Training Center (FTTC) to announce the opening of a new Remote Split Operation (RSO) facility. GA-ASI will use the new RSO facility to continue executing the Contractor-Owned, Contractor Operated (COCO) lease of its MQ-9A Remotely Piloted Aircraft that support the U.S. Africa Command. GA-ASI is the manufacturer of MQ-9A and will use the new RSO facility, located near Grand Forks, North Dakota, to remotely fly operations in support of the U.S. Department of War.
The RSO opening event included U.S. Senator John Hoeven (R-ND) and GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. Sen. Hoeven’s office was instrumental in establishing this support center in North Dakota.
“General Atomics is moving pilots from Africa to Grand Forks to remotely fly their missions for AFRICOM. Doing so makes perfect sense, and that’s why we worked through the Senate Defense Appropriations Committee to make it happen. This new facility is not only a real cost savings for AFRICOM, which will save more than $10 million per year as pilots operate from Grand Forks rather than overseas, but it also brings a broader intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance portfolio to our state. We appreciate GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue for his company’s continued investment in our state and for working with us to strengthen our national defense and intelligence gathering capabilities, which are vital to the success of our warfighters,” said U.S. Senator John Hoeven.
“We’re excited to establish this new facility in North Dakota,” said Blue. “Setting up our remote flight operations here in North Dakota will allow us to decrease the number of personnel required overseas, significantly reducing the cost of the COCO to the U.S. government and, more importantly, significantly increase the safety for our personnel. It will also bring approximately 50 well-paying jobs to the Grand Forks community.”
About GA-ASI
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world’s foremost builder of Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®, XQ-67A, and FQ-42 Vengeance.

Winchester Collaborates with Ducks Unlimited, Bass Pro Shops, and Richard Childress Racing for Xfinity 500 NASCAR Cup Series Race
Winchester Collaborates with Ducks Unlimited, Bass Pro Shops, and Richard Childress Racing for Xfinity 500 NASCAR Cup Series Race
CLAYTON, MO (October 29, 2026) — Winchester celebrates Ducks Unlimited and conservation alongside Bass Pro Shops on the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet with a waterfowl-themed paint scheme.

“Ducks Unlimited is excited to be featured on the No. 3 Chevrolet along with longtime partners Winchester and Bass Pro Shops,” said Jeremy Smith, Senior Director of Corporate Relations at Ducks Unlimited. “This is an excellent opportunity to bring attention to the impact hunters and sportsmen have on conserving wetlands and waterfowl habitat.”
“I love the outdoors, hunting and fishing, so to put all these brands together on one car is pretty special,” said Austin Dillon, driver of the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. “I think all the outdoorsmen will really take notice, especially when you put the No. 3 on a short track. We just need to go out there and have a great race. I am proud to represent a bunch of great conservationists, and we need to do our part to give back to the outdoors for the future.”

Illinois Suppressor Ban Challenge Heard by the Seventh Circuit
THE UNIFIED VOICE OF THE SUPPRESSOR COMMUNITY
Illinois Suppressor Ban Challenge Heard by the Seventh Circuit
On October 28, 2026, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit heard oral argument in Anderson v. Raoul, the challenge to Illinois’ ban on suppressor ownership backed by the ASA Foundation and Silencer Shop. The appeal asks the court to reverse a September 2025 district court ruling that held suppressors are not “arms” protected by the Second Amendment.
Attorneys for Anderson argued that Illinois regulates suppressors only because of their effect on how a firearm operates. And since a suppressor has no purpose apart from the firearm it’s attached to, the two items together function as a single arm. They went on to cite the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Wolford v. Lopez in support of Second Amendment protection for suppressed firearms. The State countered that suppressors are not arms at all, and argued that ruling otherwise would extend constitutional protection to anything that can be attached to a firearm — which we believe it should!
The case is now under advisement, and the panel will issue a written decision at some future date to be determined. Whatever the outcome, either side could seek further review from the full Seventh Circuit or the U.S. Supreme Court. We’ll keep you updated as the case moves forward.
THE FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER
And we need your support to keep pushing forward.

Adept Armor Launches BulletFoam Torso Pad, First Armor Made from Its New Ballistic Foam
Adept Armor Launches BulletFoam™ Torso Pad, First Armor Made from Its New Ballistic Foam
231-gram panel stops 9mm and fragments, works alone or behind a rifle plate, and floats more than three times its own weight.
Denison, TX. (October 2026) – Adept Armor, pioneers in next-gen protective solutions, today announced the BulletFoam™ Torso Pad, a 231-gram (0.51-pound) ballistic panel that stops handgun rounds and fragments. The 10-by-12-inch panel is the first product made from BulletFoam, a molded ballistic fiber-foam composite that stops projectiles through depth rather than dense layers of fiber. The Torso Pad is built as one panel with several jobs. It can be worn alone as lightweight armor, worn as blunt-impact padding, placed behind a rifle plate instead of a trauma pad, used to stage a plate carrier, carried in a bag, or worn on and near water for added buoyancy.
“A soldier already wears knee pads, elbow pads and a helmet liner, and almost none of it stops anything,” said Jake Ganor, founder and CEO of Adept Armor. “BulletFoam is light enough to change that. The Torso Pad is the first step: armor that weighs what padding weighs. The next step is making the padding they already wear into armor.”
Element U.S. Space & Defense in Belcamp, Maryland, tested the Torso Pad on July 8, 2026. A single panel stopped a 9mm 124-grain full metal jacket round at 1,330 feet per second and again at 1,430 feet per second on the same panel. As a free-standing panel, it recorded a 17-grain fragment-simulating projectile V50 of 1,385 feet per second (422 meters per second) under MIL-STD-662F.
That protection comes in a panel 10 by 12 inches and half an inch thick that weighs less than Apple’s flagship iPhone: at 231 grams, the Torso Pad is lighter than an iPhone 18 Pro Max (249 grams). Its low density has to be felt to be believed.
The Torso Pad is not rifle-rated. For rifle threats, Adept Armor suggests a hard plate with the Torso Pad behind it. The panel has been independently tested but is not an NIJ-listed model.
Six Ways to Use It:
- Standalone Armor – In a plate carrier or concealable carrier, the panel provides handgun and fragment protection light enough to wear all day for low-profile, light-duty, and long-duration work.
- Blunt Trauma Protection – The semi-rigid panel spreads and absorbs blunt impacts from batons, thrown objects, kicks, and falls, for riot control, corrections, mounted and equestrian work, and other high-contact duty.
- Behind a Rifle Plate – It replaces the non-ballistic trauma pad with a second layer of armor that manages backface loading, improves fit, and adds its own handgun and fragment protection.
- Carrier Staging Insert – Panels keep the carrier shaped, seated on the body, and protective. Rifle plates drop in when the threat level rises, with no re-rigging.
- On and Near Water – Each panel provides about 0.8 kilograms (1.8 pounds) of net positive buoyancy in fresh water to offset heavy kit. It complements a life jacket but does not replace one.
- Outside the Carrier – As a backpack, laptop sleeve, jacket, or travel-kit insert, it carries protection where armor is normally left behind.
“
Most armor does one job. This panel does six. Wear it alone, behind a rifle plate, or as padding on a riot line or in the saddle. Keep it in your carrier until you need plates, or slip it into a bag. And it floats. All at 231 grams,” said Ganor.
Conventional soft armor compresses fiber into dense laminated layers. BulletFoam holds aramid and UHMWPE fiber inside a proprietary closed-cell foam structure at roughly one-quarter the density of water. It slows a projectile through the thickness of the panel rather than stopping it at a single plane.
The semi-rigid material holds its shape, spreads impact over a wider area, tolerates repeated hits, and floats. Adept filed a patent application for BulletFoam in August 2026. Knee, elbow, and helmet pads made from the material are planned to follow the Torso Pad.

This Armored Humanoid Robot Is Built to Go Where Soldiers Shouldn’t
This Armored Humanoid Robot Is Built to Go Where Soldiers Shouldn’t

Robots can already fly reconnaissance missions, carry supplies and enter areas considered too dangerous for people. But many real-world environments are still designed around the human body: stairs, doors, tools and equipment all assume a person will be doing the work. That creates a potential role for humanoid robots that can move and interact with their surroundings in more human-like ways.
A robot called Alex is being explored for exactly that purpose after winning the U.S. Army’s xTechHumanoid competition.
Developed by the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC), the robot weighs approximately 85 kilograms including its battery and combines ballistic protection, impact-resistant actuators and a hybrid autonomy system.
Rather than relying entirely on either AI or remote control, the robot blends autonomous capabilities with human input. This approach could allow the robot to handle parts of a mission independently while keeping a human operator involved when judgment or direct control is required.
According to NextGenDefense, the platform is intended to function as part of a squad rather than as an isolated machine. Its combination of mobility, durability, search capabilities and autonomy could eventually allow it to enter hazardous areas before soldiers do.
Its impact-resilient actuators are particularly important for that role. Humanoid robots contain numerous powered joints that must remain functional while walking, balancing and interacting with objects. A system intended for military environments also needs to tolerate impacts and physical stresses beyond those encountered by laboratory robots.
Ballistic protection adds another layer of survivability for operations where the machine could be exposed to hostile fire.
The technology could also extend beyond military missions. The institute says it could potentially operate as a robotic avatar for first responders, allowing personnel to search dangerous environments while remaining farther from hazards.
The Army competition also highlighted technologies addressing other challenges facing humanoid robots. Winning entries included software that converts command information and commander intent into robotic actions, compact power generation for extended operations, scalable energy-storage systems and fingertip tactile sensors capable of detecting force, shape and object slippage.
Together, these technologies illustrate why deploying humanoids involves much more than building a robot that can walk. A useful field system needs power, perception, physical dexterity, resilient hardware and software capable of translating human objectives into actions.
The institute plans to reduce its weight, which could improve its speed and overall performance.
For defense and homeland security, the attraction of humanoid robots is ultimately practical. If an environment is built for humans but too dangerous to send one in, a machine with a similar physical form could potentially enter first, while the person making the important decisions remains at a safer distance.

Fort Worth, Texas (October 27, 2026) – When the job calls for both focused illumination and broad area lighting, carrying multiple lights is not always practical. From jobsite repairs and equipment inspections to DIY projects and everyday tasks, a versatile light that can adapt to the situation is an essential tool. NEBO answers the call with the new LARRY® DUO 2-In-1 Task Light + Flashlight, combining powerful output, rugged construction, and multiple hands-free carry options in a compact, pocket-friendly design.
Designed for tradespeople, technicians, DIYers, and everyday carry enthusiasts, the LARRY DUO combines a 1,500-lumen flashlight with a 1,000-lumen COB work light, providing both focused illumination and broad area lighting in a single rechargeable tool.

Whether inspecting equipment, troubleshooting electrical systems, working under a sink, or making repairs in tight spaces, the dual-light design provides the right type of illumination for the task.
Multiple hands-free mounting options further expand the LARRY DUO’s versatility. A powerful magnetic base securely attaches to metal surfaces, creating an instant workstation light wherever a steel surface is available. The reversible pocket clip provides flexible carry options and can attach to a shirt pocket or other convenient location for hands-free lighting. The compact design makes daily carry easy without compromising light output or functionality.
Built to withstand demanding environments, the LARRY DUO features an aircraft-grade aluminum construction with a durable rubberized grip. An IPX7 waterproof rating and impact-resistant construction protect against rain, mud, jobsite conditions, and outdoor use.

Important Safety Notice: Ammunition Compatibility
Bergara is aware that ammunition manufacturers periodically introduce new cartridges and case technologies designed to operate at chamber pressures exceeding the standards established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) for a given caliber (e.g. Federal Premium 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak cartridge). Because these cartridge pressures haven’t been evaluated under SAAMI’s standard development process, ammunition operating outside SAAMI pressure standards for its caliber should not be used in any Bergara rifle unless Bergara formally confirms compatibility for that model.
Future updates on approved cartridge offerings and the approved max pressure list per model, please visit https://www.bergara.online/us/support/user-manuals/ or contact our customer service team.
Dealers and distributors are asked to share this notice with customers at the point of sale and to refrain from representing any Bergara rifle as compatible with Federal +Peak ammunition until further notice.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and your continued trust in Bergara products. If you have any questions regarding ammunition compatibility or firearm safety, please contact our customer service team.
FAQ: Federal 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak Ammunition Compatibility
What is Federal 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak ammunition?
It is a new cartridge from Federal Premium that uses their Peak Alloy case technology to operate at chamber pressures of approximately 80,000 psi — significantly higher than the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) standard 6.5 Creedmoor pressure rating of 62,000 psi. Federal Premium Peak
Can I use 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak ammunition in my rifle?
No. This ammunition is NOT approved for use in any Bergara rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor.
Why isn’t this ammunition approved?
These cartridge pressures haven’t been evaluated under SAAMI’s standard development process, ammunition operating outside SAAMI pressure standards for its caliber should not be used in any rifle unless Bergara formally confirms compatibility for that model.
Is SAAMI involved in evaluating this ammunition?
Yes. SAAMI, through its technical committee, is reviewing the technical issues presented by advanced cartridge case technologies like Peak Alloy. Any future industry standards for this technology will follow SAAMI’s established, consensus-based process. More information is available at saami.org.
Will Bergara approve this ammunition in the future?
Bergara will continue to monitor SAAMI’s standards process and conduct our own evaluation. If and when a specific model is confirmed compatible, we will issue a formal statement.
What ammunition should I use in my rifle in the meantime?
We recommend using only ammunition loaded to standard 6.5 Creedmoor SAAMI or CIP pressure specifications.

XS R3D 2.0 Night Sights Now Available for CZ P-09 Nocturne Pistols
XS R3D 2.0 Night Sights Now Available for CZ P-09 Nocturne Pistols
Fort Worth, Texas (October 27, 2026) – Owners of CZ P-09 Nocturne pistols can now upgrade their factory sights with intuitive, fast, and accurate R3D 2.0 night sights. Designed for self-defense, these 3-dot notch and post sets come with a green or orange Glow Dot front sight with tritium in the center. The dual-illumination design of the front sight makes it larger and brighter than the two rear tritium dots, driving focus to the front sight and downrange target. The wide rear notch design also provides more visible indexing for increased speed and accuracy.
“Our R3D 2.0 night sights give gun owners an edge over most factory sights by helping them get on target faster and more accurately when every fraction of a second counts,” said Addison Monroe, Digital Marketing Manager, XS Sights. “Improved capability and increased preparedness lead to greater confidence, and our goal has always been to give gunowners purpose driven tools to help them shoot better.”

APEX Ammunition and 24.7 Hunt Introduce Cold Front™ Waterfowl Series
APEX Ammunition and 24.7 Hunt Introduce Cold Front™ Waterfowl Series
Columbus, Miss. (October 27, 2026) – Apex Ammunition and 24.7 Hunt introduce the new Cold Front™ Waterfowl series of shotshells in 12- and 20-gauge. Built through a partnership between Apex and 24.7 Hunt, Cold Front loads are engineered for the day waterfowl hunters long for – the first big migration push riding a cold front south.
Combining Apex’s relentless focus on performance with the authenticity and hunting culture of 24.7 Hunt, Cold Front delivers dependable results when conditions become unpredictable.
Featuring Apex’s premium graphite-coated, zinc-plated steel shot and a Limited Bore Contact WAD System, Cold Front is designed to maximize velocity retention, improve pattern consistency, and reduce energy-robbing friction as the payload travels down the barrel. The result is a cleaner launch, more uniform patterns, and greater confidence when birds commit.
“We’ve enjoyed a strong relationship with the team at 24.7 Hunt for years, built on mutual respect, a shared passion for hunting, and a commitment to growing our outdoor community,” said Jason Lonsberry, President and CEO, Apex Ammunition. “What makes 24.7 Hunt special is their ability to connect with hunters at every level while actively creating opportunities to introduce new people to the sport we all love. When the opportunity arose to build a product together, it was a natural fit. Cold Front represents the best of both organizations’ authentic hunting culture paired with Apex’s relentless pursuit of performance. We couldn’t be more excited to bring this product to market and look forward to seeing hunters experience it this season.”
“Every duck hunter knows the feeling of watching a cold front on the forecast. It’s what we wait for all season because we know it can change everything overnight. That excitement is what inspired Cold Front. We wanted to create more than just another shotgun shell; we wanted to build something every duck hunter could relate to before they ever pulled the trigger. There wasn’t a better company to bring that vision to life than Apex. They’ve built a reputation on producing dependable, high-performance ammunition when one shot is all that matters, and we had complete confidence they could deliver the same standard for waterfowl hunters. Reuniting with Apex made this collaboration feel like coming back home, and we’re excited to build on that relationship for years to come. We believe Cold Front combines the performance hunters demand with a story every duck hunter understands, and we can’t wait to see it in the marsh this season.”

FN EXTENDS .50 CAL PINTLE WEAPON SYSTEM PRODUCT LIFE PLUS REDUCES MAINTENANCE WITH LAUNCH OF FN® M3M ENDURANCE
FN EXTENDS .50 CAL PINTLE WEAPON SYSTEM PRODUCT LIFE PLUS REDUCES MAINTENANCE WITH LAUNCH OF FN® M3M ENDURANCE
Herstal, Belgium – 09 October 2026
FN – the iconic brand of FN Browning Group’s Defence & Security division, which includes FN Herstal, FN UK and FN America – is proud to introduce the FN® M3M ENDURANCE, the latest in the international series of M3 .50 caliber machine guns. FN has taken the most powerful, combat-proven .50 calibre weapon system and increased its service life by 50% while also extending maintenance intervals by three times, all while retaining its worldwide-recognized high firing rate for maximized hit probability.
Backed by over 135 years of empowering those who serve, defend and protect us with the most dependable defense and security solutions, the FN M3M ENDURANCE is part of a cutting-edge, fully integrated pintle system designed to counter current and emerging threats, including C-UAS. The globally warrantied system includes not only weapons, but also ammunition, mounts, ILS support services, operator training and accessories such as the FN ELITY® LITE laser range finder and IR laser pointer/illuminator, plus the FN SMARTCORE® shot counter for maintenance tracking and optimization.
Fully integrated and qualified by FN, the FN M3M ENDURANCE is the next generation .50 caliber machine gun, still delivering a high rate of fire of 1,100 RPM and specifically designed for seamless integration onto new or in-service FN crew-served weapon systems across air, land, sea and ground-based platforms. It is the answer to users who want to reduce maintenance workloads and increase machine gun operational availability.
Complete FN pintle weapon system featuring FN M3M ENDURANCE
“Our goal was to create a cutting-edge, fully integrated system delivering ultra-high firepower with extended service life and low maintenance requirements. It addresses key customer challenges in airborne applications, where the FN M3 is widely used, as well as in land and naval applications, where maintenance requirements differ from the airborne sector,” said Rudi Collin, Vice President of Integrated Weapon Systems at FN. “With this state-of-the-art innovation, we are proud to provide warfighters with the most advanced .50 caliber machine gun available on a pintle mount, backed by an undisputed expertise and a comprehensive warranty for the entire pintle system.”
Design Differently
FN expertise in pintle weapon systems has been recognized for decades. In the late 1970s, the company – already a global leader in the design and development of small calibre firearms and ammunition – began to integrate its unequalled machine guns into pintles for use on a wide range of air, land and sea vehicles. The FN M3M ENDURANCE takes this approach to new levels, improving both in-service time and ease of maintenance. In addition, it can also be mounted on a ground-based pedestal and used for perimeter defence and C-UAS missions.
Building on the only proven open-bolt .50 calibre FN M3 machine gun platform in service worldwide, the FN M3M ENDURANCE increases lifetime from 40,000 to 60,000 rounds while extending preventive maintenance intervals from 5,000 to 15,000 rounds.
With its high firing rate and exceptional firepower, the new FN M3M ENDURANCE delivers an overall lower cost of ownership by providing:
-
Longer weapon service life with an operational lifetime increase of 50%.
-
Less armourer workload and greater weapon availability, as maintenance interventions can be reduced by a factor of three.
-
Reduced logistics as fewer maintenance kits and spare parts need to be stocked, managed and deployed.
The FN M3M ENDURANCE is a fully automatic .50 calibre machine gun designed to fire Ball, Tracer, AP, API, APIT and APEI ammunition. With full control in any firing position, the open-bolt weapon has an effective range of 2,500 meters and a maximum range of 6,500 meters, plus can be fed from the left or right side. The system is also fully mechanical and autonomous from the carrier’s power, with no electrical power required for operation, ensuring continued weapon availability even in the event of an electrical power failure, loss of power, or electrical-system limitation on the carrier. Additionally, the system offers outstanding balance and accuracy, along with crew safety and performance reliability.
New FN M3M ENDURANCE .50 calibre machine gun, featuring optional FN ELITY® LITE laser range finder and IR laser pointer/illuminator, along with optional FN SMARTCORE® shot counter
FN pintles are engineered and manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001 and AS/EN 9100-certified quality systems and Nadcap-certified processes and qualified for use across a broad range of military aircraft, land vehicles and naval platforms, delivering proven performance, reliability and confidence mission-critical applications demand.
The new FN M3M ENDURANCE, along with a wide range of other FN innovations and solutions, will be on display in the FN booth (Hall 6, Stand F44) at EURONAVAL in Paris, 3-6 November.
