Five Reasons to Switch to Shell Tech 9mm Ammo
Shell Shock Technologies uses their proprietary NAS3 two-piece ammunition casings for their Shell Tech 9mm rounds. User benefits include lighter weight, durability, better performance, increased accuracy, and less wear and tear on your firearms.
Eubank, KY (January 2025) – Shell Shock Technologies, LLC. (SST), a leading innovator in the ammunition industry, offers firearms enthusiasts a game-changing alternative to traditional brass 9mm ammunition. SST challenges brass ammo stalwarts and brand-loyalists to try a 20-round box of Shell Tech 9mm Luger Defense rounds, or Shell Tech 9mm Nosler ASP, or even a 50-round bag of Shell Tech 9mm FMJ competition/training rounds, and discover the most important five reasons to make the switch to Shell Tech ammunition for all their target practice, defense, and competitive shooting needs.
Shell Shock Technologies has been developing its patented NAS3 two-piece, nickel-alloy stainless casings and rounds for almost a decade. Initially hitting the market in 2015, the company focused on offering its revolutionary casings to the commercial market. Behind the scenes, the DoD community took an immense interest in the obvious capabilities the NAS3 casing offered the warfighter, and SST continues to develop new calibers specifically for the military market. This year, SST returns to the commercial market, offering its proprietary casing in loaded rounds.
Shell Tech’s innovative 9mm rounds are the future of ammunition. What matters to competition shooters, self-defense, and sport shooters alike comes down to performance, accuracy, and reliability. Better-than-brass Shell Tech 9mm ammo delivers five benefits over traditional ammunition:
The Shell Tech NAS3 Casing: The Shell Tech patented NAS3 two-piece, stainless steel, nickel-alloy case is up to 50 percent lighter than traditional brass cases. The lighter round offers less felt recoil allowing quicker, faster target reacquisition, and for those that carry a loaded firearm and spare magazines, a significant decrease in weight carried all day.
More Powerful Rounds: The proprietary casing materials and design allow for an increase of up to eight percent more powder and a higher-pressure tolerance. This creates a faster, flatter shot and consistently accurate hits to the target, shot after shot.
More Accurate: Shell Tech 9mm rounds are precision loaded and balanced for increased velocity and straight shooting. Shell Tech rounds are hand-inspected.
No More Fouling and Jamming: The patented casing is much less abrasive than brass and self-lubricating. Shell Tech ammunition does not foul or clog up the breach and ejects clean and cool to the touch.
More Durable: The Shell Tech NAS3 two-piece, stainless steel, nickel-alloy casing is stronger than brass, and is more corrosion resistant than brass or steel. The Shell Tech 9mm rounds have a higher tensile strength and can be reloaded more times than traditional brass.
That’s five benefits of using Shell Tech 9mm ammunition over traditional brass rounds, and for those skeptics, a few other benefits include its magnetic ability making for easy case collection at the end of the day, and Shell Tech 9mm ammunition is competitively priced. Better ammo without the bigger price. Shell Tech 9mm ammo can be purchased online, and for added savings, subscribe to the Shell Tech ammo program and receive your ammo every month, two months, or three. The Shell Tech Subscription program also allows you to change your delivery dates simply by logging into your profile. Get your ammo when you want it.
More calibers are currently in production and free shipping is available on all orders over $125.00. Keep up with Shell Tech’s advanced ammunition on the website
About Shell Shock Technologies and Shell Tech Ammo:
Shell Shock Technologies, LLC (SST), headquartered in Eubank, Kentucky, is a leading innovator in advanced ammunition case design and manufacturing. Since 2015, Shell Shock has supplied hundreds of millions of high-performance cases to commercial ammunition companies, U.S. defense contractors, and international defense allies. The company’s patented, lightweight, and durable cases are engineered to enhance precision, reliability, and functionality across a variety of applications. Expanding on this legacy, Shell Shock introduced Shell Tech, a new line of factory-loaded, hand-inspected ammunition designed for hunters, sports shooters, and defense professionals.

Angatec garments are designed to keep you cool when the heat sets in. Inspired by athletic gear, the Angatec fabric is lightweight and moisture wicking while maintaining the durability you need during spring and early fall hunts.
Customer demand was the impetus for the new Angatec Hoodie. “The popularity of lightweight technical hoodies is significant, and we were asked to add one to the Angatec series,” said Blocker Outdoors Marketing Director, Steve Allie. “And like all our creations, we began with a superior performance fabric.” The featherweight single-layer, four-way stretch material offers exceptional next-to-skin comfort while also yielding moisture wicking capabilities.
At the scientific epicenter of the Angatec Hoodie is Blocker Outdoors’ S3® Silver Antimicrobial technology, whereby fabric threads are impregnated with silver ions that bind to and penetrate the surface of odor-causing bacteria on contact. Silver ions disrupt the microbe’s DNA, preventing the formation of odor and keeping your garments fresher for longer.
Features continue with the Angatec Hoodie’s actual hood. The three-panel design offers an excellent fit while keeping the sun off your neck and modest thermal properties for those cooler mornings.
Flatlock seams heighten comfort while thumbholes keep the sleeves in place, layering or not.
Hard to believe 50 bucks will get you such a premium early season hoodie…but it will.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 14, 2025 – Intel Corporation (“Intel”) today announced its intention to separate Intel Capital, its global venture capital arm, into a standalone fund. The new fund will bring Intel Capital’s corporate structure into alignment with other leading venture firms, enabling greater autonomy and the flexibility to attract external capital. Intel will remain an anchor investor in the new company.
“The separation of Intel Capital is a win-win scenario as it provides the fund with access to new sources of capital to expand its franchise while allowing both companies to continue benefiting from a productive long-term strategic partnership,” said David Zinsner, interim co-chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Intel. “This step supports our broader strategy to maximize the value of our assets while driving greater focus and efficiency across the business.”

The firm has created over $170 billion in market value in the past 10 years alone by investing in early-stage startups across key areas shaping the future of compute: silicon, frontier, devices and cloud.
Standalone operations are expected to begin in the second half of 2025, at which time Intel Capital will operate under a new name. The existing Intel Capital team will move to the new company, and business operations will continue as normal throughout the transition.

G Composites Will Unveil New Stocks for the Iconic M1A Rifle at the 2025 SHOT Show
OWENS CROSS ROADS, Ala. (Jan. 13, 2025) — AG Composites, the renowned leader in custom rifle stock design and production, is thrilled to announce the debut of its latest composite and fiberglass stocks for the iconic M1A rifle. The highly anticipated unveiling will occur at the prestigious 2025 SHOT Show, scheduled from January 21-25 at the Venetian Expo and Ceasar’s Forum in Las Vegas, NV. Attendees can visit AG Composites at booth #42126.
Originally introduced by Springfield Armory in 1971, the M1A rifle is the civilian version of the legendary M14. Starting in 1957, the M14 was the standard issue battle rifle for the U.S. military. Over the years, the M1A has gained immense popularity among competition, recreational shooters, and sportsmen.
“Stocks for the M1A rifle were the very first our company ever produced,” stated Matt Tandy, owner of AG Composites. “As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we are delighted to reintroduce these stocks in both composite and fiberglass variations. Being a veteran-owned business with numerous veteran employees, this rifle holds a special place in our hearts. We are committed to providing M1A shooters with stocks that offer exceptional accuracy at affordable prices.”
The composite and fiberglass M1A stocks from AG Composites are meticulously crafted using a cutting-edge 71-step process and state-of-the-art technology. The company employs modern design software such as Solidworks and AutoDesk to create Computer Aided Design (CAD) models, ensuring the production of premium rifle stock lines. AG Composites exclusively utilizes top-quality carbon fiber, fiberglass, epoxy, and paint products in the manufacturing of all their rifle stocks. Their proprietary production process, which remains a closely guarded secret, enables them to deliver best-in-class stocks with significantly shorter lead times compared to competitors. Every step of the manufacturing process is driven by consistency, efficiency, cost control, and rigorous quality control checks. Furthermore, all AG Composites stocks are proudly 100 percent made in America.
The new M1A composite stock will have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $769, while the fiberglass version will be priced at $499. Both models will come with standard swivel studs in the front and rear, and customers can add all the typical custom options, such as texture, finish, etc. For more information about AG Composites’ extensive range of custom stocks and accessories, please visit their website at http://www.agcomposites.com or contact them at 1-833-AGSTOCK or 256-723-8381.

Sign Up for NSSF’s Gun Storage Check Week at SHOT Show
LAS VEGAS – NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is inviting all companies, organizations and individuals attending the SHOT Show® next week to sign up for a reminder to participate in NSSF’s Gun Storage Check WeekTM in 2025 to promote the message of “Make Sure It’s Secure.”
Advertising throughout the SHOT Show will contain a QR code that leads to this simple sign-up form. The form also will be at GunStorageCheck.org. Filling out the form with a name and email address will trigger a reminder notice from NSSF prior to both Gun Storage Check Weeks this year—June 1-7 during National Safety Month and September 1-7 during Suicide Prevention Month.
The goal of Gun Storage Check Week is to remind gun owners and their families to check on their firearm storage practices and make improvements, if necessary. “We’re asking gun owners to do their part to prevent unwanted access to their firearms to prevent accidents, thefts, suicide and misuse,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO.
Those arriving in Las Vegas for the SHOT Show, the firearm industry’s annual trade show, will see Gun Storage Check Week ads in the baggage claim area of Harry Reid International Airport. “While waiting for your bags, take a moment to sign up for a reminder to help promote Gun Storage Check Week later this year,” said Bill Brassard, NSSF’s Senior Director, Communications.
NSSF launched Gun Storage Check Week as a national awareness campaign last year. The inaugural campaign was highly successful, with hundreds of companies and organizations, including firearm manufacturers, retailers, shooting ranges, media outlets and law enforcement agencies, reminding their customers and audiences to check on their firearm storage to “Make Sure It’s Secure.”
More than 10 million gun owners were reached with firearm safety messages. Videos on GunStorageCheck.org explained the core rules of gun safety and how to select a secure storage device. Another video discussed taking care of your mental health, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and taking action to prevent suicide, including preventing access to firearms during periods of acute risk.
The Gun Storage Check Sweepstakes offered gun safes from ShotLock and Hornady Manufacturing as prizes during the June and September weeks.
NSSF reminds gun owners that there are many options available to store firearms securely, ranging from cable gun locks to lock boxes to full-size gun safes. Vehicle storage options and digital devices are available as well. Many firearm safety and suicide prevention resources can be found at GunStorageCheck.org as well as on the NSSF websites ProjectChildSafe.org and BraveConversation.org.
Sign up today to receive a reminder to help promote “Make Sure It’s Secure” through Gun Storage Check Week June 1-7 and September 1-7.

NSSF Launches Faces of Firearms Safety Outreach
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, launched its Faces of FirearmsTM safety outreach program with a commercial on NBC’s Meet The Press in the Washington, D.C. region. Faces of Firearms is a national, precision-targeted digital outreach campaign demonstrating that today’s gun owners, who are from all walks of life, and the firearm industry are united in true firearm safety. This effort is part of NSSF’s Real Solutions. Safer Communities.® firearm safety campaign that includes longstanding and nationally-recognized safety initiatives including:
*partner program with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)
**partner program with American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Department of Veterans Affairs
“This campaign challenges the stereotypes often portrayed by those who oppose lawful firearm ownership to show America who gun owners really are,” said Joe Bartozzi, President and CEO of NSSF. “Today’s gun owners are representative of America because they come from every part of American society. We don’t all look the same or talk the same, but we share the very important ideas that safe and lawful firearm ownership is our right. We share the responsibility for true firearm safety which is embodied in our Real Solutions programs. This outreach aims to spread the firearm safety message and highlights the growing diversity of today’s gun owner who is invested in safety.”
Gun owners have been often depicted as long-outdated stereotypes to paint gun owners and the firearm industry as detached, uncaring and disinterested in true firearm safety. Faces of FirearmsTM is a project celebrating the diversity of gun owners and their unity in advancing safe, responsible firearm ownership. Some of the featured gun owners are domestic violence survivors, Stop Asian Hate advocates, Olympians, and Purple Heart recipients. Some live in big cities, some identify as gay, some utilize mobility devices, and some work in white-collar jobs. Many of the featured gun owners describe themselves as parents or grandparents, brothers or sisters, sons or daughters, and neighbors or friends––a reminder that our similarities are just as worth celebrating as our differences.
What unites tens of millions of gun owners, though, is their desire to protect themselves and their families through firearm ownership. This program shows that being safe transcends race, gender, religion, income, and any other facet of individual identity.
