Avon Protection receives new FM50 order
Avon Protection receives new FM50 order
11th December 2025, Melksham, UK: Avon Protection has received an order from a European nation’s MoD for FM50 respirators and FM61EU filters via the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) contract vehicle.

NSSF Supports OCC Ripping Back Veil of Banking Discrimination

NSSF Supports OCC Ripping Back Veil of Banking Discrimination
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is encouraged and supports the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s (OCC) preliminary findings after reviewing large banks’ debanking activities. The OCC report revealed what the firearm industry has known, and experienced, for years. Large banks systematically “made inappropriate distinctions” of lawful businesses, including those against firearm-related businesses, to restrict access to banking services.
In short, large banks including JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo Bank, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC Bank, TD Bank and BMO Bank, unlawfully discriminated against certain industries, including the firearm industry, for political reasons. This practice is unlawful and is demonstrative of corporate banks exercising an antigun agenda to deprive, starve out and eliminate firearm businesses despite the fact they lawfully produce and sell a constitutionally-protected product to law-abiding citizens. NSSF revealed that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was untruthful when he claimed his bank doesn’t discriminate for political reasons and has repeatedly exposed unlawful debanking activities.
“NSSF is encouraged that the Trump administration, through the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, is exercising its regulatory authority to protect industries from unlawful banking discrimination,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “Eliminating banking discrimination was a focus of the first Trump administration, which was stymied by Biden administration’s antigun agenda. We are hopeful that this preliminary report is only the beginning of ending this unscrupulous practice of weaponizing finance and ensuring banks aren’t used as to advance extremist policies that have been rejected by Congress.”
The OCC’s preliminary findings established that the firearm industry was a target of unlawful debanking, along with other industries that were politically disfavored by banks, including oil and gas exploration, coal mining and digital assets, among others.
The OCC’s report specifically stated:
-
Firearms, firearms accessories, or ammunition manufacturing or distribution. Several banks restricted financing to firearms manufacturers or retailers, including those offering assault- or military-style weapons for civilian use. Others included certain firearms accessories (e.g., bump stocks, high-capacity magazines). At least two banks highlighted “polarizing” or “polarized” public opinion surrounding individual gun ownership rights and gun control as part of the basis for their firearms restrictions. Another bank noted that “an association with certain [f]irearms [m]anufacturers and [r]etailers could result in significant [f]ranchise risk, particularly when those firearms are associated with civilian gun violence.” As a result, it conditioned relationships with these manufacturers and retailers on their adherence to the bank’s view of “best practices” regarding the sale of firearms.
About NSSF
NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

SFT Season Of Giving – Access To Lifesaving Treatment
“I didn’t think anything was wrong. I thought I was just doing what we all do — keep going.”
That’s how this Green Beret begins his story.
He didn’t see the signs.
He didn’t feel the warning lights.
He didn’t understand how far he’d slipped.
Years of personal loss, back‑to‑back deployments, and the unspoken expectation to stay strong no matter what slowly built up around him — layer after layer — until he was carrying more than any one person should ever have to shoulder.
But like so many in the Regiment, he believed the mission came first.
He believed strength meant silence.
He believed he could handle it.
“Looking back, I can see how bad off I was… but at the time, I couldn’t see it at all.”
When those closest to him finally urged him to get help, he wasn’t even sure where to begin. The idea of seeking treatment felt overwhelming — emotionally, logistically, professionally.
That’s when Special Forces Trust stepped in.
SFT worked directly with Warrior’s Heart to secure him a place in treatment, helped coordinate everything with his command, and removed the financial barriers that often keep warriors from getting the time they truly need.
He says the experience didn’t just stabilize him — it opened his eyes to how much he had ignored, buried, minimized, and carried alone for years.
His final reflection is honest and powerful: “I didn’t know how broken I was until the Trust helped me start healing. You saved my life.”
Your generosity makes that healing possible — for him, and for the many who don’t realize how close they are to the edge until someone reaches in and pulls them back.
Did you know, the average cost for a service member to participate in this type of sponsored treatment is on average $22,000?
Your generosity makes testimonials like this possible — providing access to treatment, removing barriers, and ensuring our warriors get the time and care they truly need. During this Season of Giving, we ask you to support the programs that give these warriors the time, space, and care they didn’t know they needed. Donate today!

GA-ASI’s Second Blue Magic Netherlands Doubles Impact
GA-ASI’S SECOND BLUE MAGIC NETHERLANDS DOUBLES IMPACT
Nov. 18 Event in Eindhoven Highlights Innovation Across Dutch Tech Ecosystem
SAN DIEGO – 10 December 2025 – On November 18, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and its Blue Magic Netherlands (BMNL) partners held their second “shark tank” style event in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The event brought together emerging Dutch companies and attracted more than 350 attendees. BMNL provided Dutch businesses with an opportunity to present their capabilities for possible investment from GA-ASI, as well as other companies. The 16 companies that made pitches were selected from a pool of more than 70 companies that represented the best of the best of Dutch industry.
“Blue Magic uncovers new technologies within the Dutch ecosystem,” said Brad Lunn, GA-ASI Managing Director. “The quality of the innovation we’re seeing is improving rapidly. The growth of the event is a testament to the quality it brings forward.”
During the second BMNL event, held at Brainport Eindhoven — a center of the Dutch high-technology industry — GA-ASI and its partners heard firsthand from Dutch companies about the important capabilities they are developing. GA-ASI issued an open invitation to Dutch businesses in July for Netherlands-based businesses to apply for the opportunity to present their innovative technologies at BMNL. Key areas of focus for the presentations were Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Autonomy, Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, Sensors, Space, and Counter-UAS.
GA-ASI was joined for the second BMNL event by the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Netherlands Ministry of Defence, Lockheed Martin, Brainport Development, Brabant Development Agency (BOM), and the Netherlands Industries for Defence & Security (NIDV).
GA-ASI expects to announce technology partnerships stemming from the second BMNL event and intends to continue holding this event on an annual basis in the Netherlands.

New Scanner Spots Drone Parts Inside Bags

Representational image of an x-ray detection
This post is also available in:

As drones become cheaper, smaller, and easier to modify, security teams face a growing challenge: many threats do not appear in the sky—they arrive hidden inside luggage, backpacks, or cargo. Once inside a restricted area, these components can be reassembled into functioning UAVs capable of surveillance, disruption, or targeted attacks. Traditional perimeter sensors offer no defense against a drone that is built inside the perimeter.
According to NextGenDefense, a new X-ray–based detection system aims to address that gap by identifying drone components before they enter sensitive locations. The technology integrates artificial intelligence into conventional X-ray workflows, enabling screening teams to spot assembled or disassembled UAV parts during routine inspections. Instead of requiring manual analysis, the system uses machine-learning models trained to recognize materials, shapes, and construction patterns commonly associated with consumer and custom-built drones.
The problem being solved is twofold. First, drone incidents are rising sharply—regulators have reported significant increases in illegal incursions and unauthorized flights near critical facilities. Second, attackers have begun circumventing external drone defenses by smuggling parts in pieces and rebuilding them inside restricted zones. AI-assisted X-ray screening provides a way to intercept those components long before they become airborne threats.
The system is intended for checkpoints at airports, energy facilities, defense installations, and other high-risk infrastructure. It can be added to existing X-ray stations without major workflow changes, allowing operators to receive automatic alerts when the software detects suspicious items. Because the tool identifies characteristic materials as well as known shapes, it can flag improvised or partially assembled designs that may evade manual screening.
Integrating this capability into a layered counter-drone framework adds a valuable early-warning layer. While perimeter radars, RF detectors, and jammers track drones already in flight, AI-enhanced X-ray detection focuses on preventing threats from entering the site in the first place. Together, these tools could reduce the likelihood of hostile UAVs appearing unexpectedly inside protected zones.
The system is currently being evaluated in live operational settings by multiple security agencies. Developers are also exploring interoperability with counter-UAS platforms and electronic warfare tools, paving the way for unified drone-defense architectures that span both entry-point screening and aerial detection. If successful, the technology could shift counter-drone strategies toward earlier, more proactive interdiction.
TAG Precision Introduces Kimber 2K11 & 1911 Plate
TAG Precision Releases American-Made RMR Plate for Kimber 2K11 and 1911
Dallas, TX – TAG Precision announces the release of its new RMR Adapter Plate for the Kimber 2K11 and 1911, offering a purpose-built upgrade designed with the needs of serious shooters in mind. Manufactured in Dallas, Texas from American-made 4140 steel and finished in QPQ Black Nitride, this adapter plate provides a durable, reliable mounting solution for RMR-pattern optics on two of the most trusted pistol platforms in the industry.
The plate is engineered to deliver a secure fit, repeatable zero, and long service life under demanding conditions.

Each kit includes all necessary mounting hardware and a TORX driver, ensuring a straightforward installation.
Jordon Musser, COO of TAG Precision, stated:
“Our goal was to build an optic mounting solution that reflects the standards of shooters who depend on their equipment. By machining these plates in Dallas from American steel, we can guarantee the strength, precision, and consistency required for both training and real-world use. This plate allows the Kimber 2K11 and 1911 platforms to fully benefit from modern optics technology.”
Key attributes include:
• American-made construction using heat-treated 4140 steel
• QPQ nitride finish for enhanced wear and corrosion resistance
• Compatibility with leading RMR-pattern optics
• Secure, proven design suited for everyday carry, competition, and professional use

Experience the Freedom of Akkar USA’s Open Country Over-Under Shotguns
Experience the Freedom of Akkar USA’s Open Country Over-Under Shotguns
North Kansas City, MO – Blending craftsmanship, elegance, and performance, Akkar USA Open Country Over-Under shotguns, in four popular gauges, are ideal for all shooters. Designed for the seasoned enthusiast and the occasional shooter, the Open Country promises reliability and style, making it an essential addition to any firearm collection.
The Open Country is both attractive and practical. Akkar’s proprietary OxyCap surface treatment provides a distinctive over-under a high-gloss metal finish. It offers a sleek appearance and enhanced durability against wear, reflecting Akkar USA’s commitment to quality. Similarly, the standard-grade Turkish walnut stock adds a natural touch. The wood’s rich grain and finish boost the shotgun’s elegance, offering comfort, warmth, and stability.
High-gloss blue barrels feature a 7mm flat rib for both aesthetic appeal and enhanced performance. The blued finish offers a classic look and protects against corrosion, ensuring longevity and reliability in the field.
A 3-inch chamber accommodates a variety of ammunition, including 2 ¾ – and 3-inch shotshells in 12-, 20-, 28-gauge, and .410 bore. It’s the flexibility shooters need for hunting or sport shooting. Each Open Country Shotgun comes equipped with five extended mobile-style chokes. Extended chokes allow tool-less choke changes and pattern customization. Whether aiming for clays or game, there’s a perfect combination of chokes and ammo.
Automatic ejectors provide quick and smooth shell ejections, allowing for faster follow-up shots. However, with a unique feature found in Akkar USA over-under shotguns, customers can easily convert the auto ejectors to simple, easy-to-control extractors by changing one simple part. The Open Country also features an ergonomic tang-mounted manual safety and barrel selector for intuitive operation.
Like all Akkar USA shotguns, the Open Country Shotguns come with a 5-year limited warranty. This is a commitment to Akkar USA’s quality and performance.
The Akkar USA Open Country Series Over-Under Shotguns deliver exceptional value, quality, and craftsmanship. Whether at the range or out in the field, this shotgun is engineered to perform, making it the perfect choice for those who appreciate the finer things in life. Experience the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation with the Akkar Open Country over-under, a companion in shooting excellence.
