About Shell Shock Technologies NAS3 Cases:
NAS3 cases are 50 percent lighter than brass cases, offer greater lubricity, and will not abrade, clog, foul, wear out, or damage breach and ejector mechanisms. The cases offer greater corrosion resistance, tensile strength (2x stronger), and elasticity than brass. NAS3 cases will not split, chip, crack, or grow (stretch), are fully reloadable (using S3 Reload dies), and can be reloaded many more times than brass cases. NAS3 cases have been tested successfully by customers to pressures over 70k psi. NAS3 cases can be picked up with a magnet. The head can be colored for branding purposes and easy load identification.
NAS3 is “Best in Class” for maintaining consistent velocity between rounds. In an independent test performed by H.P. White Laboratory (a major munitions testing facility), rounds fired using NAS3 cases achieved a velocity standard deviation of 0.093 FPS (124-grain FMJ bullet, 4.2 grains Titegroup powder, 10 rounds, extreme variation 3fps).

MARINES SURPASS 1,000 MQ-9A FLIGHT HOURS AS CAPABILITIES EXPAND
SAN DIEGO – 23 April 2025 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. is proud to announce that the U.S. Marine Corps has passed more than 1,000 flight hours with MQ-9A unmanned aircraft in support of service-level training exercises and weapons and tactics instructor courses. This accomplishment involved a combined aircrew of dedicated Marines and GA-ASI personnel, highlighting the seamless integration and operational effectiveness of the MQ-9A platform within the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) and the MAGTF Unmanned Expeditionary (MUX) Program.
These demanding exercises showcased the advanced capabilities of the MQ-9A by integrating cutting-edge technologies such as the SkyTower networking support pod, Automatic Identification System, latest-generation Lynx® multi-mode radar and various other tactical networks and capabilities. The joint teams successfully conducted satellite launch and recovery activities operating out of a strategic expeditionary landing field near Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., further demonstrating the platform’s precision targeting and reconnaissance abilities in realistic training scenarios.
Previously, an uncrewed aircraft required a crew positioned at the airfield where it was operating to fly it for takeoff via direct line-of-site radio link. Then a mission crew could take over the aircraft from anywhere via satellite. Today, satellite launch and recovery means the main Marine mission crew, which can be sited anywhere, flies the aircraft from takeoff via the satellite link. This capability, validated in the Marine Corps operations, enables huge flexibility and expands the locations from which units can operate.
A key element of these exercises also included not only live-fire training but also comprehensive mission planning, networked communications, and multi-domain coordination. These events provided invaluable experience in integrating the MQ-9A into complex, distributed combat scenarios across the full range of Marine Air-Ground Task Force operations. From supporting maneuver elements with real-time intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance to validating command and control networks, the MQ-9A consistently demonstrated its adaptability and operational value. This milestone underscores the platform’s critical role in enhancing situational awareness, mission execution, and overall effectiveness across the battlespace.
“Reaching 1,000 flight hours for these rigorous training exercises alongside our Marine Corps and Air Force partners is a testament to the reliability and adaptability of the MQ-9A platform,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “This achievement highlights the power of collaboration and the critical role the MQ-9A can play in supporting the MAGTF’s mission readiness.”
The successful integration of the MQ-9A platform across recent operations represents a major milestone in aligning capability with the MAGTF construct. These events showcased the MQ-9A’s ability to support distributed operations, extend sensor coverage, and provide persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance in support of dynamic mission sets. The coordinated efforts of Marines and GA-ASI personnel underscored the platform’s high degree of interoperability and its growing role in enabling expeditionary operations in contested environments.
To date, GA-ASI has delivered 17 MQ-9A UAS to USMC. The USMC awaits delivery of three additional aircraft by the end of this year.
About GA-ASI
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world’s foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 8 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle® 25M, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

Unlock the Full Potential of Shell Shock Technologies’ NAS3 Pistol Casings![]()
Reloadable, reliable, and built to perform, SST’s cases deliver long-term value and superior shooting experience.

Eubank, KY (March 2025) – Shell Shock Technologies, LLC. (SST), a leading innovator in the ammunition industry, is setting the record straight: yes, its NAS³ pistol cases are reloadable—again and again. While the industry continues to embrace the performance benefits of SST’s proprietary NAS³ technology, many shooters are still unaware that these cases not only outperform traditional brass in every measurable way, but they can also be reloaded for substantial cost savings.
“Our NAS³ cases are engineered for durability, consistency, and reuse,” said Peter Foss, Managing Director and CEO of Shell Shock Technologies. “With the proper dies, our customers can reload their pistol cases multiple times—saving money while enjoying reduced recoil, improved performance, and a smoother shooting experience.”
Unlike standard brass casings, SST’s NAS³ cases feature a nickel-alloy cylinder and aircraft-grade aluminum base, making them 50 percent lighter and twice as strong as brass. NAS³ cases spring back to near-original dimensions after being fired, maintaining structural integrity and making them uniquely suited for reloading.

S3 Reload Lee Sizing Die Powder Funnel set for 9mm
Shell Shock Technologies is your one-stop shop for NAS³ cases, fully loaded ammunition, and reloading dies. SST offers Reloading Die Sets for 9mm NAS³ cases, available through S3 Reload, with options for all major press types:
S3 Reload’s dies are required to properly resize and flare NAS³ pistol cases. After sizing and flaring, no special equipment is needed to seat the bullet or apply a crimp—just a light touch will do, thanks to the superior tensile strength of SST’s nickel alloy cylinders.
Reloaders will benefit from several performance and value advantages. The NAS³ cases help reduce felt recoil, making range time more comfortable and controlled. Their robust construction supports multiple reload cycles, offering significant cost savings over time. And because the cases are magnetic, cleanup at the range—indoors or outdoors—is faster and easier. NAS³ cases also eject cool to the touch, improving safety and convenience for high-volume shooters.
SST’s NAS³ technology redefines what a pistol casing can be. With unmatched thermal efficiency, strength, and elasticity, the NAS³ case will not balloon, jam, or damage a firearm—even in unsupported chambers. Built for repeated use and consistent performance, NAS³ cases feature a high-tensile nickel alloy cylinder, proprietary two-piece assembly, and a slightly enlarged flash hole for better initial ignition. All components are proudly made in the USA.

This pioneering design offers a fully configurable system that adjusts from a compact 3.375 inches to an extended 12.2 inches, allowing shooters to tailor the suppressor’s length, weight, and sound suppression level to their specific needs.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
20 GA shotguns are generally lighter, smaller, and softer recoiling than 12 GA shotguns, making them great for smaller framed shooters such as women and youth. They also suppress better, meaning an SGX 20 equipped shotgun is noticeably quieter than an SGX 12 suppressed 12 Gauge!
Weighing between 7.1 to 21.9 ounces depending on configuration, it is among the lightest in its class, ensuring that your shotgun remains balanced and easy to handle. The suppressor’s adaptability extends to its choke system, with swappable choke end caps that allow for quick changes in shot pattern without the need for specialized tools.

Flambeau™ Formula Bow Case: Unmatched Protection for Spring Turkey Season
![]()

Middlefield, OH (April 22, 2025) – Whether traveling with a hunting bow or storing it at home, proper protection is essential to maintain accuracy and reliability in the field. Key components like sights, cams, and strings must be protected in order to ensure the arrow hits its mark when it matters most.
From cross-country turkey hunting adventures in pursuit of a Grand Slam to daily trips to the prime local hunting spot or simply storing gear safely between hunts, Flambeau’s Formula Bow Case provides unmatched protection and reliability every step of the way. The revolutionary Adjustable Bow Security (A.B.S.) system is a foamless chassis assembly that free floats critical precision bow components.
Flambeau’s A.B.S. contact-free bow storage system ensures that bow components stay dialed in and ready for spring gobbler season. The shock-absorbing A.B.S. chassis format features integral tie-down spines that anchor bow risers using patented Nite Ize Mega™ Gear Ties® to cement bows in place for unmatched protection perfection.
When conditions call for archery turkey season campouts, in and out of hotel rooms, or just the back seat of a pickup, Flambeau understands that the hunt is on the line, and the Formula Bow Case is up to the challenge.
The mid-weight system (18.25 lbs unloaded) punches above its weight, offering the protection level of a heavy-duty, thick-walled case, without sacrificing ease of use and mobility. The Flambeau™ Formula Bow Case features an automatic pressure release valve and weatherproof gasket combination that produces an anti-crush and impact-defusing air chamber that negates the need for heavier exterior walls.

Olin – Winchester Completes Acquisition of Small Caliber Ammunition Manufacturing Assets
EAST ALTON, IL (April 22, 2025) — Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of the small caliber ammunition assets of AMMO, Inc.
The assets, employees and ammunition business are now part of Olin’s Winchester Ammunition business, including the brass shellcase capabilities and a newly constructed, world-class, 185,000 square foot production facility located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

Once fully integrated, this acquisition is expected to yield adjusted EBITDA of $40 million per year with full realization of synergies.
“During our recent Investor Day, we committed to our capital allocation framework,” said Olin’s President and CEO, Ken Lane. “Like the White Flyer acquisition in 2023, this acquisition furthers our Winchester strategy to identify and secure small, bolt-on opportunities that are highly strategic and immediately accretive to Olin. By year three, we expect to have paid one and a half times adjusted EBITDA for these world-class assets.”
