This Strike Drone Is Built to Fly Through GPS Jamming

This Strike Drone Is Built to Fly Through GPS Jamming

Jun 6, 2026

(Source: iHLS)

Representational image of a military UAV

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

Modern drone warfare increasingly depends on systems that can operate in heavily contested electronic environments. One of the biggest challenges facing long-range unmanned platforms today is reliance on GPS signals, which can be disrupted or manipulated through jamming and electronic warfare systems. At the same time, militaries are searching for lower-cost alternatives to expensive cruise missiles that can still deliver precision strike capability over extended distances.

A newly tested autonomous strike drone (SkyLance by Rotron Aerospace) is being positioned as a part of that shift. The platform recently completed a live-fire demonstration intended to validate its propulsion and flight systems under operational conditions. Designed as a one-way strike system, the drone is intended for missions where forces need expendable long-range attack capability without the cost associated with conventional guided munitions.

The aircraft uses an onboard autonomous navigation system designed to function in GPS-denied environments. According to Interesting Engineering, instead of depending entirely on satellite positioning, it can continue operating in electronically contested conditions using internal guidance and targeting capabilities. This addresses a growing operational concern highlighted by recent conflicts, where electronic interference has repeatedly disrupted conventional drone operations.

Another key aspect of the design is its propulsion system. The drone uses a proprietary engine architecture developed to improve endurance and efficiency while keeping operational costs relatively low. Although exact performance specifications were not disclosed, the platform is intended to support long-range missions while remaining affordable enough for larger-scale deployment.

The system can also integrate with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance networks, allowing it to receive targeting information and support faster sensor-to-strike coordination. This type of connectivity is increasingly important as militaries move toward more distributed and networked operational models.

From a defense perspective, autonomous low-cost strike drones are becoming an important category of battlefield systems. Their relatively low price compared to traditional missiles allows forces to sustain operations at higher volume while preserving more expensive precision-guided inventories for specialized missions.

The broader trend reflects lessons drawn from recent conflicts, where mass-produced unmanned systems have demonstrated significant operational impact. As electronic warfare capabilities continue to evolve, drones designed for autonomy and resilience in degraded environments are likely to play an increasingly central role in future long-range strike operations.

Women’s Line Drops

NEW FOR 2026

Peak Performance for Female Hunters

ScentLok’s highly anticipated Women’s Ridge midseason jacket and pant system is online and available for immediate purchase

MUSKEGON, Mich. (June 5, 2026) – ScentLok’s Ridge series first shook up the industry with a lone, instantly iconic garment: the Ridge Hoodie. That single success sparked an entire technical midseason line — and today, the evolution continues with the immediate availability of the Women’s Ridge Jacket and Pant.

Purpose-built for women who refuse to compromise on fit or function, this system mirrors the elite performance of the men’s line while delivering a superior, agile fit. The collection integrates an athletic silhouette with ScentLok’s most potent technologies — blending patented Carbon Alloy® scent adsorption and Silver Alloy™ antimicrobial protection with a weather-defying Precip-X™ finish to yield the finest midseason outerwear available for women afield.

Shown in Mossy Oak Terra Outland

Shown in Mossy Oak Terra Outland

“The Ridge system is the apex of midseason whitetail apparel with the perfect balance of feature-richness and action-ready benefits matched with ultra quiet fabrics,” said ScentLok Marketing Director, Steve Allie. “And now, we’re excited to build a matched jacket and pant entirely for women.”

ScentLok, with its “fabric first” mentality, originally started the Ridge series project by sourcing the perfect combination of premium fabrics. “We went with a stretchy, ultra-quiet, and smooth micro-tricot polyester exterior and lofted Berber fleece inner lining for warmth and comfort,” said Allie. “The warmth to weight ratio is exceptional. It’s also loftier and warmer than your standard midseason options on the market.”

Ridge’s polyester micro-tricot is an extremely fine warp‑knit fabric known for being smooth, quiet, slightly stretchy, and durable. The excellent polyester micro-tricot is also strong, dimensionally stable, quick‑drying, and resistant to shrinking and wrinkling.

Internally, Ridge’s berber fleece has a lofty, curly pile that traps still air, which boosts thermal insulation –noticeably warmer than smooth fleece or basic knit linings of similar thickness. Berber fleece also breathes well and wicks away moisture.

ScentLok Technologies

Carbon Alloy®

Carbon Alloy combines treated carbon, activated carbon, and zeolite to absorb odors emitted by your body. Carbon Alloy utilizes natural coconut shell carbon, as it has the largest internal surface area of any carbon on earth. This massive surface area promotes the adsorption of the broadest scent molecule range. It innately secures these molecules and holds them until you reactivate your gear in a household dryer.

Silver Alloy™

Silver Alloy is based on a silver salt solution applied to the fabric to control the growth of bacteria in the harshest environments. This dyeable fiber will not wear out and lasts the life of the garment.

Precip-X™

Durable, hydrophobic fabric treatment that repels liquids and prevents stains, helping the fabric stay lighter, drier, and easier to clean. The clear formula does not alter the look or feel of the fabric, either, so camouflage patterns and face fabrics maintain their original appearance.

Midseason is typically the longest season. Fortify your hunting assortment with the new Ridge series.

Ridge Jacket FEATURES:

  • Carbon Alloy® technology for odor adsorption

  • Silver Alloy™ helps inhibit the growth of bacteria

  • Form Fitting Design: Effectiveness with added bulk

Fastest Growing Rimfire Suppressor

Fastest Growing Rimfire Suppressor

Demand surges for the OG Suppressors Scorpius .22, an ultra-lightweight titanium suppressor that eliminates traditional maintenance headaches

SHEVLIN, MN (June 4, 2026) – The rimfire suppressor market has historically forced shooters to accept a frustrating compromise — endure heavy, high-maintenance designs or settle for fragile materials that complicate the ownership experience. OG Suppressors officially eliminated that trade-off with the Scorpius .22, an ultra-lightweight titanium suppressor that has rapidly transitioned from an underground favorite into one of the most sought-after rimfire cans on the market today.

The massive popularity surrounding the Scorpius .22 represents a radical shift away from outdated industry standards. While legacy rimfire silencers often rely on delicate aluminum components that restrict cleaning options — or complex, multi-piece baffle stacks prone to carbon-locking and seizing — the Scorpius utilizes premium materials and a monolithic internal architecture to give hunters, competitors, and recreational shooters a premium, hassle-free solution.

The ongoing market response underscores a widespread demand for this configuration. By integrating high-grade titanium with an advanced internal architecture, OG Suppressors delivered a suppressor that eliminates the systemic issues common to the category — disappearing on the muzzle while maintaining absolute structural and performance dominance downrange.

Feather-Light Footprint, Extreme Multi-Caliber Durability

Constructed entirely from premium, high-grade titanium, the Scorpius .22 achieves an astonishingly lean footprint — weighing in just under 2 ounces. This feather-light build ensures that host firearms maintain their natural balance, pointability, and handling characteristics, whether mounted on a precision rimfire rifle or a lightweight trail pistol.

This all-titanium construction directly addresses the durability shortcomings of common aluminum-baffle competitors. While aluminum alternatives are susceptible to rapid throat erosion and degradation under heavy use, the Scorpius .22 is built for rugged, high-volume sessions. It is fully rated to handle the intense pressures of a wide array of rimfire and small-bore cartridges — including .22 LR, .22 MAG, .17 HMR, and the high-velocity 5.7x28mm round.

Eliminating the Maintenance Nightmare

Beyond advanced material science, the Scorpius .22 solves the primary headache of rimfire shooting — heavy carbon and lead buildup. Traditional serviceable silencers require users to meticulously disassemble a series of intricate, threaded parts. After a few hundred rounds of dirty rimfire ammunition, these legacy designs frequently seize inside the tube, requiring specialized tools, forceful pounding, and tedious alignment during reassembly to avoid catastrophic baffle strikes.

OG Suppressors engineered completely past these structural flaws. The Scorpius features an advanced internal design with zero loose baffles or threaded internal components to tear down. Because it is built entirely from chemically inert titanium, shooters are not restricted to gentle, ineffective cleaners. When maintenance is required after high-volume sessions, the entire unit can simply be dropped directly into an ultrasonic cleaner or subjected to harsh, carbon-cutting solvents, which eliminates downtime and ensures the suppressor runs at peak performance indefinitely.

The industry chatter surrounding the Scorpius .22 is backed by hard, independent validation. The design famously rose to the top of its class during independent testing at the TBAC Sound Summit — outperforming more established suppressors and earning the title of the quietest rimfire suppressor tested. Coupled with its sleek aesthetic and zero-maintenance architecture, the Scorpius .22 stands as the new benchmark for modern rimfire performance.

Scorpius .22LR Technical Specifications:

  • Weight: 1.95 oz
  • Length: 5 inches
  • Material: 3D-Printed Grade 5 Titanium
  • Finish: Black Cerakote™
  • Mount: Direct Thread
  • Rating: .22LR, .22 WMR, .17 HMR, 5.7x28mm

NSSF Praises U.S. Senate FFL Protection Act Introduction

NSSF

NSSF Praises U.S. Senate FFL Protection Act Introduction

Sen. Graham (AP Images/Francis Chung/POLITICO)

Image Source: (AP Images/Francis Chung/POLITICO)

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, praises the bipartisan introduction of the Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Protection Act, S. 4671, introduced by U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). The bill would strengthen and enhance criminal penalties for thefts of firearms from federally licensed firearm retailers. This legislation sends a strong message to those violent criminals engaging in these illicit activities and helps provide for safer communities, assists law enforcement and protects the livelihoods of firearm retailers.

“This legislation is what true gun safety looks like. Congress is sending a clear message that the safety of our communities is nonnegotiable and targeting firearm retailers to steal guns in order to commit further crimes is intolerable,” said Lawrence G. Keane, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for NSSF. “The firearm industry is grateful to Senator Lindsey Graham for providing those firearm retailers who follow the law the protection they deserve. This legislation assigns the responsibility for crime where it belongs – with the criminal. These are real solutions that make our communities safer.”

The FFL Protection Act builds on the efforts NSSF has taken to address robbery and burglary of firearms through the cooperative initiative with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) on Operation Secure Store®, one of several Real Solutions. Safer Communities® firearm industry safety programs. As part of Operation Secure Store, NSSF matches ATF reward offers for information regarding these crimes that leads to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible and recovery of the stolen firearms. Additionally, NSSF helps educate firearm retailers on steps they can take to reduce the chance guns will be stolen from them during a burglary or robbery, and in cooperation with ATF, conducts retailer store security seminars, assists retailers with store security audits of their premises and endorses and promotes the use of security products like smash resistant display cases.

The most recently available ATF data shows Operation Secure Store is working. New data from ATF reveals a 60 percent drop in the number of firearms stolen during burglaries and robberies at firearm retailers. That also includes a more than 40 percent drop in the number of incidents.

LAST CALL: NSSF’s Gun Storage Check Week Campaign Returns June 1–7

NSSF

June 4, 2026

Last Call: Still Time to Participate in Gun Storage Check Week

GSCW

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is calling on gun owners, retailers, range operators and other firearm industry-related companies to participate in the final days of Gun Storage Check Week®. This national firearm safety awareness campaign kicked off Monday, June 1 and will conclude Sunday, June 7.

The goal of Gun Storage Check Week, observed at the start of National Safety Month, is to help prevent firearm accidents, especially those involving children, suicides and thefts. Throughout this week, the message of “Make Sure It’s Secure®” has been promoted to millions of gun owners to help prevent unwanted access to firearms.

“Whether you’re a gun owner or professional in the firearm industry, there are still ways to get involved and amplify Gun Storage Check Week’s safety message to friends, family and loved ones,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “As a gun owner, first and foremost, take a moment and evaluate your firearm storage practices. This is critical for preventing unauthorized access to firearms when not in use.”

Ways to Get Involved

Those interested in furthering the “Make Sure It’s Secure” message have several options available to get involved.

  • Marketers: An expansive promotional toolkit — freely available — contains logos, shareable graphics, digital ads, audio public service announcements and more. These assets can be shared on social media, printed for in-store events and used in e-newsletters to advance awareness of this important safety message.
    
  • Ranges & Retailers: In addition to utilizing assets in the promotional toolkit listed above, it’s not too late to host in-store events — such as a safety-focused sale or seminar to educate customers on the wide variety of secure storage options available to suit any need, lifestyle or budget. It’s always a good time to talk about safety with customers, and Gun Storage Check Week and National Safety Month provide natural tie-ins for conversations at the counter.
    
  • Gun Owners: Talking with friends and family about firearm safety and secure storage practices to prevent accidents, suicides and theft is paramount. To further engage with Gun Storage Check Week, visit GunStorageCheck.org and enter the Gun Storage Check Week Sweepstakes to win a B.O.S. Lock Fusion — a firearm safety device that mounts to a handgun’s accessory rail, combining a biometric slide lock with an integrated tactical light and green laser. Those who enter the sweepstakes will have an opportunity to improve their chances of winning by earning bonus entries after watching up to two firearm safety videos. The Sweepstakes ends June 7.

Explore Safety Resources

GunStorageCheck.org has resources available to help gun owners decide which locked storage device best meets their safety and accessibility needs.

Secure gun storage devices include:

  • Cable locks: Available free of charge through NSSF’s Project ChildSafe® program (which has partnered with over 15,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide).
  • Lock boxes: a storage solution for guns kept for home security and in vehicles.
  • Lockable gun cases: ideal for security and portability.
  • Full-size gun safes and cabinets: for owners with multiple firearms to protect, including against fire and theft.

An Ongoing Conversation

As Gun Storage Check Week draws to a close, the conversation surrounding firearm safety and secure storage is a regular routine for gun owners. These practices prevent access by unsupervised children, individuals with suicidal thoughts and others who shouldn’t have access to firearms.

Gun Storage Check Week will return for its second annual observance, Sept. 1–7, during National Suicide Prevention Month.

Seattle, WA – (June 3rd, 2026) – NEXTORCH, the primary U.S. distributor of global manufacturer NEXTORCH Industries, is proud to announce the new hiStar 2,300 Lumen Ultra Bright Headlamp for hunting, outdoor and recreational use, or as a helmet lamp for law enforcement and tactical use. Engineered with a quick-release mechanism to effortlessly transform into a ballistic helmet light, industrial hardhat light, or a standalone tactical work light.

The NEXTORCH hiStar is a professional-grade headlamp designed for hunting, fishing and the outdoors as well as tactical and enforcement applications. Powered by NEXTORCH’s proprietary Claw Optics™ system, it produces a focused 12-degree spot light beam for up to 279 yards and its wide flood beam gives 100 degrees of illumination. The hiStar also delivers a smooth, controlled beam with natural transitions, eliminating harsh hotspots while maximizing usable illumination. With 2,300 lumens of output, dual white & red LEDs, stepless dimming, and dual-power compatibility, the NEXTORCH hiStar adapts instantly to any task, any condition, and any power source. Its Gen 3 U.T.B. active heat buffering system with thermal control and cooling vents allows hiStar to handle long runtimes with no adverse effect from heat. The lightweight magnesium alloy housing with antibacterial headband allows for all-day comfort. A glove-friendly rotary interface allows for intuitive operation.

NEXTORCH’s proprietary Claw Optics™ Precision Beam System and Claw Optics™ lens are

engineered with a feline-inspired optical structure that shapes light with high efficiency and perfect edge control. Unlike conventional reflectors, it produces a clean, even beam with smooth spot-to-flood transition, allowing accuracy at both close range and long distance. The hiStar integrates high-output, white LEDs and auxiliary red LEDs into a single compact system.

D&M Holding Company Acquires Czech-Based EKOCHEM 94 s.r.o.


TAMPA, FL (June 3, 2026) – D&M Holding Company, Inc. (D&M), the global leader in delivering complete solutions for ammunition, primer, and propellant manufacturing facilities, has acquired EKOCHEM 94 s.r.o. of the Czech Republic. This acquisition further strengthens D&M’s capabilities as the company continues to support the United States, NATO allies, Ukraine, and other friendly foreign governments seeking long-term ammunition independence.

Headquartered in Pardubice, Czech Republic, EKOCHEM 94 is an engineering, design, and industrial project company specializing in chemical, mechanical, and process industries, including for propellants and propellant raw materials. Its specialties include:

  • nitrocellulose production equipment
  • propellant production equipment
  • design of complete energetics
  • distillation systems
  • combustible cartridge case production lines
  • diethyl ether production lines
  • explosive-material processing equipment

“The acquisition of EKOCHEM 94 is a key part of our aggressive global growth strategy as we extend our footprint in Europe and beyond,” said Dan Powers, President and CEO, D&M Holding Company. “Escalating global conflicts and supply chain issues are driving the soaring demand for reliable supplies of ammunition, primers, and propellants. This geopolitical instability has created deep urgency among nations for ammunition independence. They want to manufacture it themselves, and we are uniquely positioned to help them do that.”

“We are pleased to become a part of the D&M family and look forward to expanding our capabilities,” said Boris Fukatko, founder and President of EKOCHEM 94.

As friendly nations race to achieve their defense industrialization goals, D&M is increasingly sought after as a trusted, specialized design, engineering, and manufacturing partner. D&M not only manufactures the machinery and systems needed to build ammunition; the company also trains its clients and transfers the technical knowledge required to operate facilities independently.

D&M specializes in the design and manufacture of ammunition and energetics equipment, as well as in the turnkey factory solutions for customers worldwide.

Inside the Athlon Optics Argos BTR GEN3 Riflescope Line



Inside the Athlon Optics Argos BTR GEN3 Riflescope Line


Lenexa, KS (June 3, 2026) – The Athlon Optics Argos BTR GEN3 builds on a trusted legacy of precision and value, delivering meaningful upgrades designed for shooters pursuing long-range accuracy, competitive performance, and precision target shooting.

At the core of the Argos BTR GEN3 is a rugged 30mm aircraft-grade aluminum tube, argon purged for superior fog resistance and built to withstand demanding real-world conditions. Advanced fully multi-coated lenses provide excellent light transmission, clarity, and true color, while Athlon’s XPL coating adds an extra layer of protection against dirt, oil, and scratches. A high-precision erector system and parallax adjustment down to 10 yards ensure repeatable accuracy and confidence at distance.

The Argos BTR GEN3 line offers versatile options built for both long-range precision shooting and fast-paced short-range applications.

The 6-24×50 and 8-34×56 models are ideal for shooters getting into PRS and long-range target shooting, delivering precision-focused performance at an accessible price point. For shooters demanding even greater magnification, the 10-40×56 is purpose-built for benchrest and precision target shooting, offering detailed target evaluation at extended distances.

Rounding out the lineup is the 1-8×24 LPVO, a compact and versatile optic designed for close- to mid-range performance. Built for fast target acquisition, its illuminated center horseshoe reticle functions similarly to a red dot for close-range engagements, while integrated holdovers provide quick reference points for mid-range shooting.

Select Argos BTR GEN3 models now feature a precision zero-stop system, allowing shooters to quickly and confidently return to their original zero without tracking turret rotations or second-guessing settings. Because the 1-8×24 is optimized for fast, short-range use, it does not include a zero stop. Redesigned turrets and an updated magnification ring further enhance ergonomics and handling across the lineup, creating a more refined user experience over previous generations.

The Argos BTR GEN3 lineup is available in 1-8×24, 6-24×50, 8-34×56, and 10-40×56 configurations.

Backed by Athlon’s lifetime warranty, shooters can trust their investment is protected for the long haul, no matter where or how hard they run their equipment.

Key Specifications:

1–8×24 SFP (Illuminated)

  • Tube Diameter: 30mm
  • Eye Relief: 3.5”

GA-ASI Engineers Awarded by AIAA in Three Categories

GA-ASI ENGINEERS AWARDED BY AIAA IN THREE CATEGORIES

Team Members Recognized for Outstanding Achievement by an Organization,
Aerospace Management, and Contribution to AIAA San Diego Section


SAN DIEGO – 03 June 2026 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) engineers received awards from the San Diego Section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) during an event on May 2 at the Allen Airways Flying Museum. One GA-ASI team and two individual employees were recognized for 2026 awards in the categories of Outstanding Achievement by an Aerospace Organization, Outstanding Contribution to Aerospace Management, and Outstanding Contribution to the AIAA San Diego Section.

“One thing is certain; our company is built on the talents and abilities of our people. Without them, we would not be the world leader in Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS),” said GA-ASI Engineering Vice President Dee Wilson.

GA-ASI Winners:

Outstanding Achievement by an Aerospace Organization – UK Protector UAS Military Type Certification Team

One of the highlights of 2025 for GA-ASI was earning the first Military Type Certification (MTC) of a medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) UAS in the United States. The achievement, performed in partnership with the United Kingdom (UK) Ministry of Defence (MOD), encompassed the design, test, and creation of compliance evidence that earned the MTC for the MQ-9B SkyGuardian® remotely piloted aircraft system, which has been designated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) as Protector RG Mk1 and is now in their service. The MTC was granted by the UK Military Aviation Authority (MAA) and certifies the aircraft for operations in all classes of airspace. In addition to the AIAA honor, the same GA-ASI team earned a Program Excellence Award from Aviation Week.

Outstanding Contribution to Aerospace Management – Leslie Smith

Another highlight from last year was the first flight of the YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). Leslie Smith, as program director, led GA-ASI’s development efforts throughout 2025, which included fast-tracking the aircraft, moving from contract award to first flight in just 15 months. Through focused planning, close collaboration, and a strong commitment to excellence, Leslie and her team ensured the aircraft was delivered to the flight line in June 2025. Then on August 27, 2025, the U.S. Air Force’s YFQ-42A CCA successfully flew from GA-ASI’s Gray Butte Flight Operations Facility. Leslie’s leadership continues to be instrumental to the entire YFQ-42A program team. Without her and the dedication of her team, the CCA program would not have achieved its many key milestones over the past year.

Outstanding Contribution to the AIAA San Diego Section – Pramod Mulabagula

When Pramod Mulabagula joined the AIAA San Diego Section Council, he saw an opportunity to sharpen the group’s technical edge by providing more opportunities for the group to learn from subject matter experts. He increased AIAA San Diego’s lecture series from one in 2024 to five in 2025, bringing in prestigious speakers, such as research professors from San Diego State University and the University of California, San Diego, helping to bridge the gap between researchers in academia and industry professionals.

About GA-ASI

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world’s foremost builder of Unmanned 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®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®. The company is dedicated to providing long-endurance, multi-mission solutions that deliver persistent situational awareness and rapid strike.

Make Every Catch a Culinary Success with Hi Mountain Seasonings

Make Every Catch a Culinary Success with Hi Mountain Seasonings

RIVERTON, Wyo. (June 3, 2026) — June is one of the most exciting months of the year for anglers across North America. As water temperatures rise, fish become more active, creating incredible opportunities to target a wide variety of species, from trophy largemouth bass and bluegill in freshwater lakes to redfish, trout, tuna, and snapper along coastal waters.

Whether you’re targeting post-spawn bass, chasing tuna offshore, or bringing home a cooler full of panfish, there’s nothing better than enjoying a fresh-caught meal after a successful day on the water.
That’s where Hi Mountain Seasonings comes in.

For the past 35 years, Hi Mountain Seasonings has helped outdoor enthusiasts turn their harvests into delicious meals with easy-to-use seasoning blends, fish brines, marinades, and rubs that enhance the natural flavor of fresh fish without overpowering it.

“June is when anglers start filling coolers and making memories on the water,” said Hans Hummel, owner of Hi Mountain Seasonings. “We want to help them make those memories even better by offering simple, flavorful products that take the guesswork out of preparing fresh-caught fish.”

From the water to the table, fresh fish deserves fresh flavor. Hi Mountain Seasonings offers a variety of products to match every angler’s preferred cooking style. The company’s Brine Mixes help preserve moisture and flavor before smoking or grilling, while favorites such as the Gourmet Fish, Wild River Trout, and Alaskan Salmon Western Style Seasonings deliver exceptional flavor with minimal preparation. Hi Mountain’s marinades and rubs add bold flavor to everything from grilled tuna steaks and smoked trout to blackened redfish fillets.

June anglers often enjoy outstanding fishing opportunities for largemouth bass during post-spawn feeding patterns, bluegill and other panfish in shallow-water beds, redfish and speckled trout on coastal flats, yellowfin and blackfin tuna offshore, and catfish, northern pike, and lake trout in northern waters. No matter what species is on the end of the line, Hi Mountain Seasonings offers flavors that help transform a successful day of fishing into a memorable meal.

As anglers head to the water this month, Hi Mountain Seasonings encourages everyone to practice conservation, follow local fishing regulations, and enjoy the rewards of a successful day outdoors with great-tasting meals shared among family and friends.

WATCHTOWER Defense Passes $700 Factory Efficiency Savings to Consumers; Sets APACHE Commander Retail Price at $3,299

Tomball, TX (June 2, 2026) — WATCHTOWER Defense is proud to announce a permanent price reduction on its premier double-stack 1911 pistol, the APACHE Commander, setting a new manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $3,299. By optimizing manufacturing operations at its new, state-of-the-art facility, the company has achieved major cost efficiencies and is passing $700 in direct savings to its customers.

The move comes as a direct response to market feedback from consumers seeking premium, match-grade defensive tools at a more accessible price point.
Following its recent relocation to an expansive 24,000-square-foot facility in Tomball, Texas, WATCHTOWER has undergone a comprehensive overhaul of its production lines. By reducing the cost of sourced components and integrating precision machinery and advanced workflow layouts, the team has achieved both enhanced processes and cost savings for the APACHE Commander. This initiative resulted in a reduction in costs per unit without compromising the pistol’s premium quality, stringent tolerances, or high-end components.
“We are listening to the market, our customers, dealers, and wholesale partners,” said Jordan Davis, Watchtower’s Chief Executive Officer. “The message has been clear – customers appreciate the APACHE Commander’s features and performance but want a more competitive price. Setting the MSRP at $3,299 and sharing the newly found cost savings to our customers means more opportunity for shooters to carry a premium firearm in their holsters.”
The Commander retains its full suite of high-end, duty-ready specifications under the new $3,299 pricing:
• Precision Match-Grade Barrel: Delivers flat-shooting performance and reliable, sub-MOA accuracy.
• Ergonomic Grip Module: Engineered for maximum control and comfort during prolonged firing.
• Limited Lifetime Warranty: Proudly designed and fully assembled in the USA, backed by a limited lifetime guarantee.
The updated pricing takes effect immediately across all authorized WATCHTOWER Defense dealers and online distributors. To order or find a dealer near you, visit
www.watchtowerdefense.com.

WATCHTOWER Defense is a veteran-founded, American-owned manufacturer based in Tomball, Texas. Named in honor of the brave service members of the WWII Pacific Guadalcanal campaign, the company is dedicated to building consumer firearms, professional-grade duty weapons, and mission-essential gear that outperform the competition under the harshest conditions.

Shell Shock Technologies and CBC Partner to Scale Advanced Ammunition Technology

Shell Shock Technologies and CBC Partner to Scale Advanced Ammunition Technology

This collaboration is focused on industrialization, military applications, and global commercialization of Shell Shock Technologies’ advanced ammunition technology.

Eubank, Ky. (June 2026)Shell Shock Technologies, LLC. (SST), ), a leading innovator in the ammunition industry, today announced that it has agreed upon the principal commercial terms of a strategic collaboration with CBC Global Ammunition, one of the world’s largest ammunition manufacturers, focused on the industrialization and global commercialization of SST’s proprietary NAS3™ hybrid case technology.

The collaboration is expected to focus on multiple military and commercial calibers, including 5.56×45, 7.62×51, .277 Fury (6.8), .338 Lapua, .50 BMG, and 9mm. Under the partnership structure, CBC is expected to serve as a licensed manufacturing and commercialization partner for the aforementioned calibers, supporting future industrial-scale production and global market development initiatives.

SST’s NAS3™ technology combines advanced metallurgy and proprietary manufacturing processes to create lightweight, high-pressure-capable ammunition systems designed to improve velocity, accuracy, range, durability, and overall ballistic performance compared to traditional brass-cased ammunition. The technology also offers increased case capacity and reduced system weight, creating potential advantages across military and commercial applications, including larger rifle and machine gun calibers.

As part of the collaboration, CBC is expected to support industrialization efforts and future manufacturing scale-up initiatives, including integration into CBC’s expanding U.S. manufacturing footprint. CBC recently announced plans for a major ammunition manufacturing facility in northeast Oklahoma, which is expected to support future production capabilities and military-focused development initiatives.

The companies also intend to collaborate on global marketing initiatives, military demonstrations, trade exhibitions, and future co-branded ammunition programs. Planned participation includes major defense and industry events, such as SHOT Show, AUSA, Eurosatory, and other international military demonstrations. As part of the collaboration, representatives of CBC and Shell Shock Technologies are expected to formally commemorate the signing of the MOU during the Eurosatory exhibition in Paris on Monday, June 15th, at 2:00 PM at the CBC booth located in Hall 5A / Booth J391.

“This represents a major milestone for Shell Shock Technologies and validation of the technology we have spent years developing,” said Peter Foss, Managing Partner and CEO of Shell Shock Technologies. “CBC brings world-class manufacturing capabilities, global reach, and deep military and commercial market relationships. We believe this collaboration positions SST technology for large-scale adoption across multiple applications and future military systems.”

Fabio Mazzaro, CEO of CBC Global Ammunition, added, “CBC continues to invest in advanced ammunition technologies and manufacturing capabilities that support the evolving needs of military, law enforcement, and commercial markets worldwide. We believe Shell Shock Technologies has developed an innovative platform with significant long-term potential, and we look forward to working together to advance industrialization and future market opportunities.”

The collaboration reflects growing global interest in advanced ammunition technologies capable of supporting reduced weight, increased efficiency, and high-performance applications across military and commercial systems. The parties are continuing to advance the collaboration toward definitive agreements, industrial-scale implementation, and broader global market introduction.

American Discovery Advisors acted as financial advisor to Shell Shock Technologies in connection with the transaction.

Range USA Participates in Gun Storage Check Week Retailer Pilot Program

June 2, 2026

Range USA Participates in Gun Storage Check Week Retailer Pilot Program

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, announces all 50 of Range USA’s locations are participating in the first Gun Storage Check Week® retailer pilot program to promote secure storage practices in their local communities.

Gun Storage Check Week is a national campaign of NSSF, which is observed June 1–7 and September 1–7, to coincide with National Safety Month and National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, respectively. During Gun Storage Check Week, the message of “Make Sure It’s Secure®” is highlighted to millions of firearm owners to help prevent unwanted access to firearms.

“Having each of Range USA’s locations come on board to promote secure storage practices ensures customers in 50 communities will have a local touch point to engage with the firearm industry’s safety message during Gun Storage Check Week,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “We applaud Range USA for their involvement in this retailer pilot program. Grassroots efforts like this will further amplify awareness that secure firearm storage saves lives.”

The goal of Gun Storage Check Week is to help prevent firearm accidents — especially those involving children, suicides and thefts. It serves as a reminder for gun owners and their families to evaluate firearm storage practices and, if necessary, to take action and Make Sure It’s Secure.

“Firearm safety is a foundational pillar of responsible gun ownership, which is why we were proud to be invited to participate in NSSF’s Gun Storage Check Week campaign,” said Jimmy McManus, Range USA COO. “With all 50 Range USA locations taking part, we have a real opportunity to make a meaningful impact across the firearm community — and that matters deeply to us and to our customers.”

As part of this pilot program, each Range USA location has been provided with promotional materials courtesy of Project ChildSafe® — the largest, most comprehensive firearm safety education program in the U.S — which includes in-store signage promoting gun safety awareness, educational brochures and child safety pledges.

Any retailer or range can participate in Gun Storage Check Week. Those interested in participating are encouraged to create in-store activations through safety demonstrations and events to share the message of firearm safety. A Promotional Toolkit — which includes shareable graphics, digital ads, public service announcements and more — is freely available. More resources are available at GunStorageCheck.org.
