logo

clip_image004(MANSFIELD, TEXAS) – Eliminate fatigue and beat buck fever: Kopfjäger’s obsessively engineered Ambush Rest Kit is designed to reduce fatigue, improve safety and fill tags, providing rock-solid support for your favorite rifle in your deer stand.

The Kopfjäger Ambush Support Assembly (KJ85005) is a patent-pending stabilizing arm designed to mount effortlessly to the interior wall of your box blind. Used in conjunction with Kopfjäger’s Reaper Grip and a bipod (sold separately), the Ambush’s innovative design frees up valuable space in your deer blind, eliminating the need for a tripod or shooting stick. The Ambush combined with a Reaper Grip gives shooters of all ages and capabilities the confidence they need to make a precise shot. Though the Ambush is a useful tool for all hunters, it is especially practical for young, elderly and disabled hunters, due to its load-bearing qualities and ease-of-use.

The Reaper’s curved grip anchors your rifle to the rest and is angled to secure both tapered and straight stocks.

Dealers and individuals interested in learning more about Kopfjäger products should email sales@kopfjagerindustries.com.

About Kopfjäger

Founded in 2012, Kopfjäger Industries’ focus began with a “deer blind rifle rest.” Scores of drawings, prototypes and patents ultimately led the company into the uncharted territory of tripod mounted gun rests, beginning with the Reaper Rest in 2014. Soon after, in 2015, Kopfjäger unveiled the Reaper Grip. Beginning in 2016, the Reaper Grip paved Kopjäger’s way to the top of multipurpose gun rest innovation. Since then, Kopjäger’s growth has positioned the company as the clear industry leader in mission-oriented gun rests for elite military units, competitive shooters and hunting enthusiasts.

The One-Shot-and-Drop Round, the 450 Bushmaster

“The accuracy of these rounds is super impressive. Only a few practice shots with a brand new rifle and I was ready for hunting season. One shot later at 150 yards and I was able to harvest a buck and the impact stopped it dead in its tracks immediately.” (review from Josh on the Steinel Ammunition 450 Bushmaster cartridge).

Twinsburg, Ohio (October 2019) – No matter the game, every hunter wants the same finale: a healthy animal ethically dropped in one shot. Any hunter that has gone through the ordeal of tracking an injured animal spends a lot of time recounting the experience and anything they can do different, and oftentimes, the resounding decision is the need for bigger, badder ammo. Steinel Ammunition offers the big-bore 450 Bushmaster for those hunters looking for solid performance and drop-dead accuracy.

Steinel Ammunition’s 450 Bushmaster 250 gr. Maker Solid Copper Hollow Point (SCHP)round is a lead-free, expanding solid copper hollow point. Maker, a leader in match, expanding and fracturing projectiles, manufacture their SCHP’s on precision CNC machinery to extremely tight tolerances. In addition, the sides undergo an Electrical Discharge Machine to exacting depths to ensure an ideal expansion at a wide range of velocities. Steinel’s bone-crushing 450 Bushmaster is designed to drop large game at distances up to 200 yards with superior accuracy.

The development of the 450 Bushmaster was the result of Col. Jeff Cooper’s desire to have a more powerful round than the .223/5.56x45mm NATO for the AR15/M16 platform for hunting large game ethically. Working with Tim LeGendre of LeMAG FIREARMS, LeGendre developed the .45 Professional cartridge and built an AR15 in the .45 Professional platform for Col. Cooper.

LeGendre licensed the round to Bushmaster Firearms International, who went to an ammunition manufacturer, Hornady, to produce the round. Hornady shortened the round to accommodate their 250 gr. SST Flex Tip bullet. Bushmaster renamed the round and the 450 Bushmaster, straight-walled cartridge was born.

Of the few ammunition manufacturers producing 450 Bushmaster, Steinel Ammunition’s SCHP rounds achieve a velocity of 2,200 FPS with consistent accuracy out to 200 yards. This velocity strikes the optimal balance between consistency, performance, and recoil. Available online at Steinel Ammunition for $39.99 / 20 round box, Steinel’s 450 Bushmaster is legal for most parts of shotgun-only zones in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and California (be sure to check your state’s regulations and capacity laws.)

Holy Shit!

Image result for Halloween haunted house gif

A very Happy Halloween to you all, candy dispensing has secured; you needed a brief field day to clean up and you are done!

Hope you’ve all had a productive week, and can you believe the number of early sales out there. Retailers are looking forward to early Holiday shopping, and all things considered it appears to be a pretty strong year, which is good because we need something to get us out of the Impeachment rut.

If you let the impeachment b.s. get into your head and are feeling stressed so you want see a therapist, you’ll be paying $150+ per hour so you can sit in front of a jackass who studied psychology so they could understand themselves. You’ll pay even more if they are anonymous therapists. Talk about inept morons! But, you can avoid all this by scheduling shoot the shits at your work place, or at home with friends and family.

A shoot the shit is a social interaction during which any topic is up for discussion whether you know anything about it or not and participants are free to make any unsupported comment, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject at will. So, on that note, let’s get started.

downloadFirst, as a veteran and former military man, I am so proud of our SOF guys for taking down the most disgusting ambulatory wart on the planet’s ass, al-Baghdadi. With a name like that, the SOB could have been a pimp, bouncer at a gay club or fashion designer, but instead the guy decided to be  founder and spiritual leader of a terrorist organization who’s claim to fame is that they brutally murdered innocent women and children. I’ll guarantee you that the stupid bastard is in line for a shot at those 75 virgins, only to find out that others who went before him had their way. Now, he sleeps with the fishes, which is where he belongs for blowing himself up and depriving a deserving soldier from blowing his ass away.

imagesI’m not sure how many of my readers are equestrians but you’ll still get a kick out of this. At the Helsinki International Horse Show, Finland, the electric needs for the FEI World Cup Jumping qualifiers come entirely from burning horse poop! You heard that right, they generated electricity from burning horse manure. Roughly 100 tons of manure was collected from 370 horses. Apparently, they’ve had this system in place in Helsinki, since 2015,  to convert horse poop into juice. Since its inception, Reuters reports that about 70,000 tons of manure has been collected, providing heat to 1,250 customers along with contributing electricity to their national power grid.

So let’s do some math 100 tons of poop, 2,000 lbs. per ton divided by 370 horses equals 540.54 lbs. of poop per horse. That’s a lot of poop but it pales in comparison to what Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez puts out! Readers this is from a country that produces the Tikka T3 Tactical PN/GN and SAKO TRG rifles. They apparently feel that the technology is beneficial to countries where there is a large horse population. The flaw in that logic is that horses produce even higher amounts of flatulence than cows, and if the country needs to burn horse poop for energy they’re probably also eating the horses.

Have a great weekend readers, be safe, be happy and make sure you screen your kid’s Halloween candy. And, for God sake, have a shoot the shit of your own.

Taufkirchen, Germany, 29 October 2019 – In his speech at the opening of the new company headquarters, HENSOLDT CEO Thomas Müller reaffirmed the company’s commitment to the Taufkirchen location and the Free State of Bavaria. While the new building is the administrative headquarters of the sensor solution provider, it is rather a place of innovation. Bavarian Minister President Dr. Markus Söder was particularly impressed by the 3D printed circuit board printing shown here, which is unique in Germany in this form. As technology leader, HENSOLDT develops 3D printed circuit boards that allow completely new circuits. In his speech, Dr. Söder praised HENSOLDT as a high-tech company with its headquarters in Taufkirchen and a good family in Bavaria. He added: “We have good soldiers in Germany. And they deserve the best.”

In ultra-modern laboratories on the Ludwig-Bölkow-Campus, research is carried out on ultra-modern solutions for military applications and increasingly on civilian security solutions. These include, for example, secure IT with its own hardware chip by HENSOLDT Cyber and the modular Xpeller system for drone detection and defence at airports and other critical infrastructures. The guests of honor were also impressed by the passive radar without its own signature.

Morphix Technologies® to Exhibit at CBRNe Convergence 2019

Morphix Technologies® will be displaying its TraceX® Explosive Detection Kit and Chameleon® Chemical Detection Armband at Booth No. 205 in Nashville, Tennessee, Nov. 5 – 7, 2019.

Virginia Beach, Va. (October 2019) – Morphix Technologies®, an innovator in the science of detection devices for dangerous chemicals, will be exhibiting at the CBRNe Convergence 2019, to be held at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, Nov. 5 – 7, 2019. Morphix Technologies will be exhibiting its TraceX® Explosive Detection Kit and its Chameleon® Chemical Detection Armband at Booth No. 205.

“We can’t wait to meet the great caliber of CBRNe experts traveling from over 30 countries and educate them on how our TraceX and Chameleon detection devices can save lives and allow for a quick response in dangerous situations. We are looking forward to exhibiting what our colorimetric chemical and explosive detection products can do for military, law enforcement, emergency response, and industrial personnel,” commented Kimberly Pricenski, vice president of sales and marketing for Morphix Technologies.

The TraceX Explosive Detection Kit is an affordable and easy-to-use product that aids in the detection of major explosive material threats and their precursors in a single test without exposing the kit to contamination or the user to dangerous chemicals. It was developed by Morphix Technologies under contract from the U.S. Department of Defense and meets their demanding requirements. It is small enough to fit in a cargo pocket, lightweight and rugged. Each kit comes in its own disposable protective plastic case, so the handler will be ready to use it when needed and is shelf-stable for 24 months. With a single swab, the TraceX Explosive Detection Kit detects all the major families of explosive materials and their precursors.

The Chameleon Chemical Detection Armband is an easy-to-use, inexpensive, wearable, reusable armband that can hold up to 10 cassettes, each of which detects a particular toxic chemical and changes color upon detection. One color indicates the absence of toxic gas. When two colors appear in the window, the user knows it is time to act. Designed for use in the arctic, tropical and desert conditions, the Chameleon Chemical Detection Armband can even be immersed in water. Morphix Technologies has prioritized its product development based on the advice of the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies, so the Chameleon Chemical Detection Armband cassettes are available for many of the high-risk Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) identified by the U.S. government. It has also been approved by the U.S. SAFETY Act of the Department of Homeland Security as an anti-terrorist technology.

Growing closer, staying distinct, merging civilian and military response to CBRN, IED and all hazard threats is the constant theme of CBRNe Convergence. The event is planned by Gwyn Winfield, editor of CBRNe World magazine, who brings together expert speakers from around the globe, chosen for their insight and challenge, providing attendees with shortcuts to best practices. Streamed sessions allow attendees to choose presentations that best fit the needs of their organizations and foster an understanding of how they can bring together civil and military forces in such fields as CBRN, EOD, and Hazmat to better prepare for current and future challenges.

If you’d like to receive more information about our products, please contact Morphix Technologies toll-free in the US at 800-808-2234 or +1-757-431-2260 internationally. You can also email sales@morphtec.com.

Pulsar Trail Thermal Scope Saves Lives

Just one more reason why thermal is #NoLongerOptional

(MANSFIELD, TEXAS) – At Pulsar, we know thermal imaging technology doesn’t just help put food on the table, we also know for a fact thermal imaging is an invaluable tool for first responders. Firefighters, search and rescue teams, the U.S. military and law enforcement use thermal not only to apprehend suspects and catch bad guys but also to find missing persons and victims of fire and accidents.

Due to legal disclosure agreements from different law enforcement departments, it is rare we get to publish the life-saving opportunities of using thermal imaging units. But thanks to an alert hunter from Nebraska and his Pulsar Trail XP50 riflescope, three people are alive today.

Pulsar Trail owner Marcus Dryak was on his way home from bow hunting in Nebraska. On an isolated road in the dead of night, it can be nearly impossible to see your surroundings. Marcus had his radio turned on but windows down, allowing him to hear the wind and night sounds around him.

When driving past one particularly dark area of the road, he believed he heard a faint “Help me!” in the distance. Scanning but not being able to see anything in the fields beside him, Marcus heard the cry for help again. He pulled over and turned on his Trail XP50 thermal scope.

About 30 yards from a nearby Stop sign off the main road, Marcus saw a crashed vehicle. Through his thermal, Marcus was able to see three people trapped inside.

Marcus immediately called 9-1-1. It took first responders 45 minutes working with the Jaws of Life to free the passengers from the car.

The driver of the vehicle, a Dodge Ram pickup truck, missed the stop sign and hit a cottonwood tree off the road.

All passengers were transported to the nearest trauma unit. Police later told Marcus had it not been for his thermal, one of the passengers would not have made it through the night.

Marcus visited the victims in the hospital. He says, “The hospital staff and the family were all amazed that I found them. They said the whole thing was a miracle. They said that my thermal was priceless.”

Stories like this remind us of the everyday applications and life-saving potential of thermal and digital night vision.

About Pulsar

Every Pulsar device is designed, manufactured and tested to ensure demanding professionals receive the most reliable, most advanced thermal and digital night vision performance the industry has to offer. The result of Pulsar’s commitment to industry-leading excellence is consistent world-class quality, precision engineering, seamless device operation and cutting-edge proprietary software. Pulsar produces an array of advanced optical devices designed for law enforcement, security, home defense and hunting applications, including thermal imaging and digital night vision monoculars and riflescopes, night vision binoculars and goggles, rangefinders, IR flashlights and related accessories.

Make Your 9mm Better with a Direct Thread Suppressor

Oak Ridge, NC (Oct. 28, 2019) –Arguably, the most effective tool for law enforcement and self-defense, the 9mm is among the most used handgun rounds. Pairing the 9mm with an indestructible suppressor is a natural move for firearm enthusiasts wanting to significantly reduce sound and recoil.

Silent Legion has built the ultimate suppressor for a 9mm with a solid direct thread attachment. The aluminum build makes it exceptionally light while maintaining durability that will last for a lifetime. Silent Legion makes all products in the USA and guarantees them for life.

At 8.4 ounces, the suppressor creates a stable extension of the pistol without hindering maneuverability. A recessed crown is incorporated into the muzzle, and the threaded piston is replaceable. The sound is reduced by 32 dB, making it possible to shoot outdoors or in tactical situations with significant improvements.

The sound reduction protects your hearing and reduces disturbances in populated areas, but the often overlooked benefit is recoil reduction. Extending the barrel is stabilizing, and it offers a great sight to lock on targets. Add the reduced recoil, and the result is better control and accuracy with your 9mm.

Every 9mm can stand to benefit from a Silent Legion suppressor. It reduces sound for outdoor target practice and reap the benefits during tactical shooting where sound gives away your location. When the suppression is not needed, it unscrews in a matter of seconds and stows away easily in a tactical vest or bag.

Product Specs:

  • 33 dB of Sound Reduction
  • 7.2″ Length
  • 1.25″ diameter
  • 8.4 oz weight
  • Aluminum build
  • Cerakote Finish
  • ½”-28 piston mount

Silent Legion, based in North Carolina, builds suppressors to the highest quality standards in an ISO-9001 certified facility. The company is unique in many ways, such as being owned and led by a prior military service member who is also an accomplished Mechanical Engineer and gun designer.  Silent Legion suppressors are warrantied for life and are available in both quick-detach and direct-thread models for an extremely wide variety of calibers and firearm types. Further, Silent Legion prides itself on including whatever components a buyer needs in the box. That includes suppressor versions with quick-detach mounts, serviceable cores, and even a complete Multi Caliber Kit, all without requiring consumers shop for extra parts.

Next Generation K9 Training Kit

Often Replicated, Never Duplicated

Tripwire Operations Group designed and created the original live (real) material explosive detection K9 training kit in 2005 and has since delivered thousands of our custom kits to law enforcement and military units around the globe. We aim to continuously improve upon the kit, with input from our extensive clientele, which has brought us to our latest generation of our kit.

Unmatched Design

Our custom-cut polyethylene foam inserts have a “closed-cell structure” that makes it virtually impermeable to water and highly resistant to odor transmission.

Unsurpassed Quality

Prior to being placed in our custom-designed hard-storage case, each and every product is handled using approved FBI evidence handling techniques and packaged in LOKSAK™ brand OPSAK® odor and vapor proof barrier bags, which eliminates the potential for the cross contamination of odors.

Unrivaled Production

Many have tried, but none have been able to successfully replicate our methods and products. Whether our top-notch materials and scents or our U.S. Department of Transportation approved EX Number*, there is no equivalent explosive training kit designed specifically for K9 teams available anywhere else.

*An EX number is a number, preceded by the prefix “EX–”, which is issued and used by the Department of Transportation to identify an explosive which has been tested and classified by DOT. This assigned number allows Tripwire Operations Group to transport the kit in its advertised configuration – packaged in double odor barrier bags and contained within the custom cut closed-cell foam inserts inside of the hard-protective case.

Without an approved EX number, which no other K9 kit brand currently holds, the kit cannot be transported in its advertised configuration. This means each individual product must be packaged separately, marked accordingly and transported outside of the protective case. Immediately prior to or upon arrival at the customers location, the items then must be handled, again, to transfer them from their transportation vessels to the storage case to achieve advertised configuration. This is not only unprofessional, but drastically increases the potential for the contamination of the products and cross-contamination of scent…or the others just transport your products illegally.

See U.S. Department of Transportation regulations at 49 CFR 171.8 and 49 CFR 173.56.

Unparalleled Variety

Every K9 kit contains over 20 target materials (scents), including military and commercial products, as well as homemade explosives (HME) precursors.

Kit Includes

  • Semtex
  • Potassium Chlorate
  • Sodium Chlorate
  • Ammonium Nitrate
  • ANFO
  • Nitromethane
  • Black Powder
  • Smokeless Powder
  • C-4 Block

Alchemy Custom Weaponry Offers Full Custom Build Projects

 

(Fort Wayne, IN) – Alchemy Custom Weaponry (ACW), maker of handcrafted 1911s designed by master gunsmith Rob Schauland, is offering full custom build projects in limited availability.
In a time where consumers are surrounded with off-the-shelf products, buyers must often settle for something “not terrible” rather than obtain “something great.” Alchemy Custom Weaponry stands out in their efforts to bring consumers a truly unique product that is always custom-built and hand made. When it comes to 1911s, Founder and Master Gunsmith Rob Schauland doesn’t believe in off-the-shelf. He is a true craftsman and he believes his customers deserve more. ACW’s currently available models—the Prime, Anomaly, Brimstone, and Classic Carry—are each custom designed and hand-crafted for discerning 1911 enthusiasts.
Still, Schauland felt the need to take his craft further. He has opened the opportunity for customers to talk with him, tell him about their dream 1911 and work to make that dream a reality. Schauland is ready to accept two or three independent commissions per year and realize these dreams. “Challenge us. Size. Caliber. Capacity. Features. Materials. Each gun will be a unique combination of engineering and art,” says Schauland. Every commission will deliver a unique full-out custom 1911 build. Wait times will vary from one to two years, depending on current projects and level of detail required.
The baseline price for an ACW custom 1911 build will be $7,000, with final cost dependent on the specifications agreed upon between the client and Schauland, who will personally handle every aspect of the project. Customers can fill out the form on the ACW website at
https://alchemy1911.com/full-custom-1911/. Submissions should Include as much detail as possible so that Schauland can clearly envision the dream gun. The select few will be those custom builds that he finds uniquely interesting or that present a true challenge to produce. ACW will contact those whose requests are chosen.
Master gunsmith Rob Schauland is devoted to perfecting the craft of the 1911 pistol. The ACW 1911s are loaded with special features and custom designed enhancements. Schauland’s 30-year career focusing on the 1911 has resulted in fine-tuned gunsmithing skills, which are evident in the superb blending elements in his creations. He continues to offer elite features that take the 1911 platform to the next level.

INDRA PROVIDES THE SPANISH ARMY WITH THE MOST ADVANCED HELICOPTER SIMULATOR IN EUROPE

Sim NH90 Indra I Mataix

  • The new NH90 simulator dramatically reduces training times, bolstering safety and saving huge costs
  • · Indra redoubles its international leadership in a global military simulation market which has grown steadily in recent years and generated 10.8 billion dollars in 2017
  • · Indra stands as the company best suited to meet the training system acquisition needs of the 13 countries that use this helicopter
  • · The NH90 simulator forms part of the Army Helicopter Simulation Center, which has 11 networked simulators

Madrid, October 25, 2019.- Indra, one of the leading multinational technology and consulting companies, has delivered the most advanced helicopter flight simulator in Europe to the Spanish Army. It is the NH90 training system, which contributes to the training of pilots of the three army corps and has been installed at the Héroes del Revellín base in Agoncillo (La Rioja, Spain) as part of the Helicopter Simulation Center (CESIHEL) of the Aviation Academy of the Spanish Army (ACAVIET).

The official reception of the system took place this morning in an act chaired by the General Director of Armament and Material (DIGAM), Admiral Santiago Ramón González, in the presence of the Logistic Support Command Chief of the Spanish Army (JEMALE), Lieutenant General Ramón Pardo de Santayana, various Army commanders, and the General Director of Indra, Ignacio Mataix.

The NH90 simulator is Indra’s new “crown jewel” in simulation. With its launch, the company strengthens its position in the global military simulation market that has grown steadily in recent years and in 2017 generated around 10.8 billion dollars.

Indra is positioned ahead of its competitors as a candidate to meet the training needs of the 13 countries and 18 users who have the NH90, both in Europe and the rest of the world.

The use of synthetic training systems is essential in preparing pilots of an aircraft equipped with the most complex systems, greatly reducing training times and increasing safety while lowering costs.

Indra’s simulator recreates with maximum fidelity and realism all the missions in which a military pilot can participate. It has been specially designed for tactical training. On board, pilots can prepare for real operations before carrying them out in their deployments.

Remote virtual network training

This new system will be integrated into the Army’s simulator network, allowing its pilots to carry out joint training missions with other helicopter simulators found in other army bases such as the CH-47D Chinook, the AS532 Cougar, the EC135 or the EC665 Tiger attack helicopter.

This means all the pilots will share the same scenario and can train together, regardless of being separated by hundreds of kilometers.

The new system represents a decisive commitment to innovation and development of proprietary technologies by the Spanish Ministry of Defense. It ensures top-quality training for pilots of this multipurpose helicopter, the most advanced of its kind in the world, as it is an aircraft designed to carry out missions ranging from tactical transportation and medical evacuation, to special operations, and naval, antisubmarine and electronic combat.

Indra (www.indracompany.com) is one of the leading global technology and consulting companies and is a technology partner for the key business operations of its clients worldwide. It is a leading global supplier of proprietary solutions in specific segments of the Transportation and Defense markets, and a leading company in digital transformation and Information Technology consulting in Spain and Latin America through its subsidiary, Minsait.
