Project ChildSafe Announces New Donation Page Ahead of Giving Tuesday

 

NSSF The Firearms Industry Trade Association

 

Your Recurring Donation Will Support Firearm Safety Efforts That Help Save Lives


NEWTOWN, Conn. — With Giving Tuesday fast approaching on December 3, the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s® firearms safety program, Project ChildSafe®, is making supporters aware of its new donation interface, which now welcomes one of the most popular forms of giving — recurring donations. Think: set it and forget it!

This year marks the 20th year for the Project ChildSafe program, the leading voice in genuine gun safety education. To recognize this milestone, Project ChildSafe is asking supporters to consider monthly giving to help achieve the collective goal of reducing firearms accidents and misuse.

Project ChildSafe helps create a culture of firearms safety for everyone, gun owners and non-gun owners alike, because safety is everyone’s responsibility. Securely storing firearms when not in use is the number one way to help prevent accidents, theft and misuse, including suicide. Safe storage works: Fatal firearms accidents have declined by 50 percent in the last 20 years and represent less than 1 percent of fatal accidents from all causes.

“Over the past two decades, the notable impact of Project ChildSafe helping to save lives was made possible through the generous support from many in the firearms community – from individuals to organizations – and we are pleased to be able to provide a new way for partners to continue to give,” said NSSF® President Joe Bartozzi.

Supporters who commit to giving $20 per month (in recognition of Project ChildSafe’s 20-year anniversary) will join the Partners in Safety Club. Your support is needed to help Project ChildSafe reach its goal of 2,020 new Partners in Safety. Join “the club” today to ensure an ongoing culture of safety.

Singular and monthly donations are made to the Project ChildSafe Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity that helps support the NSSF Project ChildSafe program. Donations are tax deductible to the extent of the law.

More information about Project ChildSafe can be found at projectchildsafe.org.

MILIPOL 2019 – Aimpoint Announces CompM5B

Malmö, Sweden – November 19, 2019.
Aimpoint, the originator and worldwide leader in reflex sighting technology presents a new sight model in the CompM5 series – the Aimpoint® CompM5b. This new red dot sight allows the hunter, sport shooter or professional user to quickly adjust the position of the reticle to compensate for ballistic drop for the distance to the target. The CompM5b™ comes with interchangeable turrets adapted for different calibers of ammunition at different target distances. It also offers wind or lead compensation adjustment, and adjustment caps can be tailor-made  to meet requirements.
The CompM5b has been developed with ease-of use and reliability at its core to adapt to the various ranging situations the user may face. This sight allows the user to switch quickly from one ammunition type to another or to switch from longer distance to shorter distance shooting without having to compensate ballistic drop or having to re-zero the sight. The reticle will be adjusted automatically in the sight when adjusting the ranging turrets. Just like the other red dot sights in the CompM5 family, the CompM5b is a high-performance red dot sight developed to withstand extremely tough handling and environmental situations without adding much weight to the user’s equipment.
The CompM5 family of sights takes its place as the most compact optic in the Aimpoint® Comp™ Series. The compact size of the CompM5 series comprises a single AAA battery. These small and lightweight batteries are inexpensive and easy to find almost anywhere in the world. Readily available alkaline versions of the AAA simplify logistics and eliminate the potential shipping hazards inherent in lithium batteries. Like the other CompM Series sights, the CompM5s boasts an extremely long battery life – with over 5 years of constant-on use at intensity level seven.
The CompM5b is fully submersible up to 45 meters (150 feet) and is compatible with all generations of Night Vision Devices, as well as Aimpoint’s magnifier line. A high-grade optical lens system gives the CompM5b exceptional light transmission and dot clarity, making the sight operationally parallax free, and providing a crisp, clear dot even under magnification.
“The CompM5b is a perfect tool for hunters, sport shooters and professional users who need to adapt quickly and precisely to new shooting situations, says Lennart Ljungfelt, President of Aimpoint AB, and continues: “This ability to quickly compensate for changes in ammunition type, range to target, and wind conditions eliminates a lot of estimating on the part of the user”.
Aimpoint produces a complete line of high-quality reflex sights for demanding users worldwide. The company also produces electronic fire control systems for use on crew-served military weapons. For more information on the CompM5b or other Aimpoint products, please visit the company’s webpage: http://www.aimpoint.com.

Precision Rifle Series (PRS) Members Name MasterPiece Arms (MPA) as Number One Chassis

The totals were compiled from the PRS Gear Survey. The MPA Mount was also named the second most used mount among PRS members.

Graphs courtesy of the Precision Rifle Series.

Comer, Ga. (November 2019) – MasterPiece Arms (MPA), manufacturers of the MPA BA Rifles and Chassis Systems, was recently surveyed to be the number one chassis/stock system used by Precision Rifle Series (PRS) members in the PRS Gear Survey. MPA was also surveyed as the number two scope mount, number three brake and number three gunsmith. The results are generated from the gear that PRS members select in their shooter profile.

“We are honored to have been named the most used chassis and the second most used scope mount amongst our fellow PRS members. We are continuously improving our designs based on the feedback we receive at matches and our own experience using our products. Without these important interactions at matches and events throughout the year, we wouldn’t be where we are today, so we thank the PRS community for continuing to believe in us and our products. We look forward to developing even more revolutionary products with the long-range precision shooter in mind,” commented Phil Cashin, MPA President.

The MPA BA Competition Chassis is the competition version of MPA’s highly successful MPA BA Chassis System. It has been named the number one chassis in the PRS every year since 2016. It is designed to give shooters a competitive advantage when shooting in long-range tactical rifle competitions, such as the PRS. In addition to the standard chassis features, it has been enhanced with the Spigot Mount V4 Design that attaches to the front of the forend to give the shooter additional space to mount their bipod and the Ultra Bag Rider attachment for better rear bag recoil management. MSRP ranges from $999 – $1,150.

The MPA BA Bolt Action Mount is made for mounting high-performance optics onto bolt action rifles with Picatinny rail scope bases. This mounting system provides the shooter with the ability to confidently move the optic/mount to multiple rifles with simple windage and elevation adjustments. It is precision machined from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished in hard coat T3 Mil-Spec anodize. The interface ensures positive engagement for both in spec and out of spec rail systems and provides an absolute return to zero via multiple locking lugs located on the bottom of the rail interface. MPA’s NATO spec rail interface system pulls the mount onto the top of the Picatinny rail, providing over 200 percent more rail contact than other competitive mounting systems that pinch the rail. MSRP $249.00 – $249.99.

The PRS is the preeminent rifle organization in the world, structuring a yearly point race for both the PRS Bolt Gun Series and the PRS Regional Series. The PRS Championship Shooting Series is synonymous with precision rifle shooting. The PRS is home to countless competitors, including 5,000 active PRS shooters with scores being tracked. The PRS unites the 40 most renowned national pro series precision rifle competitions and continues to expand the PRS Regional Series, which hosts hundreds of one-day matches from coast to coast. The PRS is recognized as the leading organizing body for local, regional and national matches, tracking of scores and the growth of the practical, long-range rifle discipline. The PRS is committed to working alongside its partners to deliver a world-class PRS Organization.

According to Hamudot “We greatly appreciate the distinguished history of sport shooting and hunting in Europe, and believe that our high quality solutions will be very successful in this market and will meet the high demands.

Among these weapons is the new member to the TAVOR family – TAVOR TS12 shotgun – which has so far been offered only to the US market and will now be showcased in Europe for the first time.

IWI_TAVOR_TS12_H6A0165_edited

The TAVOR TS12 shotgun is a gas regulated bullpup shotgun. With an innovative design it feeds from one of three individual magazines which can each hold four 3inch or five 2¾ inch shotgun shells. This results in a potential overall capacity from all three individual magazines of 15 rounds plus one additional round in the chamber. The TS12 has a unique feature that automatically loads a round in the chamber once the subsequent loaded magazine is rotated into position. It can be fed and unloaded from either side. Additional features of the TS12 include four sling attachment points, M-LOK compatible rails, a continuous Picatinny rail on top, Benelli/Beretta choke tube compatibility, and the reliability expected of all IWI products. Although the TS12 has an 18.5 inch barrel, the overall length is still only 28.34 inches.

CASE KNIVES: Mark of a New Era

 

Join the celebration with a chance to win in the Case 2020 Tang Stamp Reveal Sweepstakes

BRADFORD, Penn. (November 20, 2019) – As early as the Case Brothers began making knives in upstate New York during the late 19th century, they were also methodically scrawling symbolic stamp designs into their blades. Soon, other knife manufacturers adopted similar practices.

Knife historians have since come to realize the critical value of these unique and important marks. Collectively, they document a timeline that spans more than 130 years of knives that bear the Case name.

Many of the early Case tang stamps were used during time spans that varied widely. But that changed in 1970, when the company began stamping blades with a “dot-dating” tang design that would span a finite decade of manufacturing. The annual removal of one of ten dots from the blade presses signaled the start of a new production year that collectors could recognize as new knives were released to dealer displays. From then on, it became possible to know the exact year in which each Case® knife was manufactured.

The year 2020 signals the beginning of another decade of Case knives, and with it comes a brand-new tang stamp design – one that recalls the early use of the “ten-dot” dating system – and the “CASE XX” marking that remains one of the most recognized company hallmarks.

 

For more information about identifying and dating Case® knives visit https://caseknives.com/pages/our-knives.

Join Case in celebrating the mark of a new era, and an exciting look towards the future. Enter for a chance to win in the Case 2020 Tang Stamp Reveal Sweepstakes.

About Case Knives

Every day, a small piece of America’s heritage is carried around in the pockets of a nation. A small but solid reminder that anything worth doing is worth doing right. At Case, our knives are built by people with integrity for people of integrity. That’s the way we’ve done it for over a hundred years, and that’s how we’ll do it for the next hundred years to come.

German Army acquires 1500 SPIKE missiles and hundreds of launchers

 

Ground SPIKE LR_edited

November 18, 2019 – Eurospike, a joint venture between Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., Diehl Defence GmbH & Rheinmetall Electronics GmbH has signed a multi-year framework contract for the supply of SPIKE (also known as MELLS in Germany) Missiles & launchers to the German Army. The missiles and launchers will be manufactured in Germany by local German companies, in keeping with RAFAEL’s global policy of teaming up with domestic industry, resulting in knowledge transfer and local job creation.

The contract was signed by representatives from Eurospike and BAAINBw in a ceremony that took place at the beginning of November in the offices of the German MOD (BAAINBw) in Koblenz Germany.

As part of the  framework contract, the first order was made for the supply of 1500 SPIKE rounds, as well as hundreds of RAFAEL’S new ICLU (Integrated Control Launch Unit) dismounted missile launchers.

The multi-year framework contract will allow the Bundeswehr to continue procuring additional SPIKE Missiles in the next few years to reach its goal of high launcher-to-missile ratio.

The German Army is already currently using both the dismounted portable SPIKE (MELLS) launcher as well the as the vehicle-mounted launcher on the German army Puma, Marder & Wiesel.

SPIKE is a cutting-edge precise, multi-platform, multi-mission and multi-range electro-optical missile Family, with capabilities of fire-and-forget, as well as fire, observe and update, allowing attack of hidden targets.

With 33 SPIKE missile users around the world, Germany is among 19 other SPIKE users in the EU and NATO. More than 30,000 SPIKE missiles have been supplied worldwide to-date, with over 5500 SPIKE missile firings, both in training and in combat.

Moshe Elazar, EVP, Head of RAFAEL’s Land and Naval Division: “This is a significant contract for Eurospike and thus for RAFAEL, as a leading supplier of 5th generation ATGM in the world. It will undoubtedly cement the German Army’s position as one of the strongest ATGM forces in Europe. The SPIKE missile and launcher cross-nation commonality enables the nations to manage joint SPIKE missile stocks, create joint procurement and maintain mutual support. In combination with local production within Europe by Eurospike, SPIKE is a truly common European missile.”

  • Contract includes support, spares and repair services for existing fleet of Puma and Raven tactical unmanned aircraft systems
  • More than 45 allied governments deploy systems from AeroVironment’s innovative family of tactical UAS 

SIMI VALLEY, Calif., Nov. 14, 2019 – AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVAV), a global leader in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), today announced a major Middle Eastern ally awarded the company a firm fixed-price contract valued at $11,999,992 on October 25, 2019 for logistics support, spares, and repair services in support of its existing fleet of AeroVironment’s Puma™ AE and Raven® B tactical UAS. The contract award period of performance is two years.

AeroVironment’s Puma™AE and Raven® B tactical UAS

“Our United States and global customers require reliable, rugged and combat-proven tactical unmanned aircraft systems that defense and security personnel can deploy immediately from their rucksacks without the need for runways or other launch logistics,” said Rick Pedigo, vice president of sales and business development for AeroVironment.  “This order builds on our fast-growing international customer base as more allied forces rely on our innovative systems to proceed with certainty on the frontlines.”

AeroVironment’s Raven system is designed for rapid deployment and high mobility for applications requiring low-altitude intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.  With a wingspan of 4.5 feet and weighing 4.2 pounds, the hand-launched Raven provides aerial observation, day or night, at line-of-sight range of at least 6.2 miles (10 kilometers). The Raven’s stabilized gimbaled payload delivers real-time color or infrared imagery to ground control and remote viewing stations.

The AeroVironment Puma AE is a fully man-portable unmanned aircraft system designed for land and maritime operations. The hand-launched Puma AE has a wingspan of 9.2 feet, weighs 15 pounds and operates for up to 2.5 hours at line-of sight range of 20 kilometers with a standard antenna, and up to 60 kilometers with AeroVironment’s Long-Range Tracking Antenna.  Capable of landing in water or on land, the all-environment Puma, with its Mantis i45 sensor suite, empowers the operator with extended flight time and a level of imaging capability never before available in the small UAS class.

About AeroVironment Tactical UAS

The RQ-20A/B Puma™, Puma™ LE, RQ-11B Raven®, RQ-12A Wasp®, together with VAPOR® Helicopter UAS comprise AeroVironment’s family of tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems. This Family of Systems provides increased capability to the warfighter that gives ground commanders the option of selecting the appropriate aircraft based on the type of mission to be performed.

Cyalume presents CyPouch, its new tactical Cyalume holder at MILIPOL 2019

porte-cyalume-cypouch-avec-batons-IR (1)

At the Mipilol 2019 show in Paris from 19th to 22nd November 2019, Cyalume will present its new accessory for Cyalume lightsticks : the CYPOUCH tactical Cyalume holder.

Used by military forces, law enforcement agencies and first responders (police, firefighters¼) around the world, Cyalume lighting solutions allow you to mark, signal and identify in the most hazardous situations, including combat operations or natural disasters. As a

key player in the tactical light market for military forces, Cyalume® offers a wide range of lighting products in various colors, shapes and sizes. With a simple press or bend to activate, the Cyalume® ChemLight® light sticks provide instant light from 5 minutes to 24 hours duration, dependent on the product form. The Cyalume® ChemLight® lightstick line is complemented by our retro-reflective and photoluminescent products.

Cyalume lightsticks are photosensitive : an extended exposure to ultraviolet light will affect the performance and decrease the lightstick’s effectiveness when activated. To respond to the operational need of marking with lightsticks while maintaining their

performance before being activated by the user, Cyalume designed the CyPouch tactical pouch.

In tactical environments the users of Cyalume lightsticks need to prepare their equipment before commencing their mission. Now thanks to CyPouch, the individual foils protecting the 6” and 4” lightsticks can be removed in advance to save those precious seconds for when it matters. They can be stored within the CyPouch as an easy to reach, protected, accessible marker separated by color or size by simply using the metal loading rings and/or the internal and external elastic loops. The CyPouch can be configured in a bundle format by attaching it vertically, or as a holster, by attaching it horizontally with its MOLLE fasteners.

The Cyalume Holder is also designed with 3 reusable metal rings allowing attachment of the chosen Cyalume Lightsticks in a bundle as well as internal and external elastic loops to take extra lightsticks.

With a capacity of +/- 20 lightsticks* CyPouch can contain 6” (15cm) and 4” (10cm) lightsticks. (*according to size of lightsticks chosen, Arrangement example : Internal: 5×6” lightsticks + 9×4” lightsticks; External: 6 lightsticks).

CyPouch operation principle is simple and efficient and is ideal for the user ! This tactical pouch can also be used in “Cyalume Bundle” configuration as well as in “Cyalume Holster” configuration.

In « Bundle » configuration, To prepare the bundle, the operator customizes the pouch contents by choosing which size and colors of lightsticks (visible/IR) they need and then threads them onto the metal rings and elastic loops.

In operation, the pouch is fully deployed by pulling the upper tag of CyPouch which opens the double zipper: the bundle is now available to the user. To release a lightstick from its attachment, firmly grasp the lightstick and pull down. Then just simply activate it manually.

Please note that all these operations can be made by one gloved hand.

In « Holster » configuration, CyPouch is only opened on the upper part in order to enable Cyalume to be inserted like knife into a sheath. To prepare the pouch, insert Cyalume sticks like in the sleeve and attach some on elastic loops.

CyPouch is a very convenient and reliable accessory that allows you to carry up to 20 Cyalume lightsticks while preserving their performance and efficiency.
