Glock baseplates from Vickers Tactical


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。



Perhaps you thought there wasn’t anything left for the aftermarket to address on the Glock platform. Larry Vickers is proving you wrong by putting out a new magazine base plate. The new mag plate is wider, offering the ability for the shooter to more easily strip a stuck mag from the magwell. It’s also got a matrix of dots that can be used to number/identify a mag. No word on price or availability, yet.

Apex Extended Carbine Rail System

私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。

As everyone knows there are a huge number of addons for the AR15 family of rifles. Some of these aftermarket parts are very good while others are best ignored. I recently found a new extended carbine rail system from Apex that’s well worth considering as a replacement for your current GI grip or traditional four rails.



At a weight of only 8.1 ounces with three extra rail attachments the weight is considerably less than the usual free float rail system. Most standard configurations have four full length rails which are seldom used in full and just add weight. They can also be pretty rough on your hands unless you add rail covers, which increase the bulk and size of the rails.

The Apex extended carbine system allows the AR15 owner to add assorted short rails to a greater number of locations than a standard system. Extra short rails of one inch to four inches can be placed in eight locations around the entire tube utilizing the milled slots. Most of us only need a flashlight mount and possibly a vertical grip. If you want to add additional items just add an appropriate size short rail in the location best served for that add on. The Apex rail system has the capacity to add four QD sling attachments; two on each side. If you use a single point sling no problem just leave them open for later use if needed.
The top rail is 7.5 inches long and mates perfectly with the receiver rail. The external diameter of the tube is 1.970 inches, which is much less than standard rail systems.


This photo shows the textured “Gator Grip” on the Apex rail

Apex has also solved the rough surface problem most rails have by milling a grip surface they call a Gator Grip. This gives the shooter a firm grip without being abrasive to the shooters hands.

Optimum Tac Scopes


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。

Without proper glass, even the most high-end precision rifle is a worthless club in combat!


U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Tim R. Lee, with Scout Sniper Platoon, Headquarters and Support Company, Battalion Landing Team, 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), fine tunes the sights of his M-40 sniper rifle before the first stage of a three-day platoon competition in Djibouti March 25, 2010. The contest challenges scout snipers in communication, marksmanship and teamwork during competitive relays. The 24th MEU is on a seven-month deployment aboard Nassau Amphibious Ready Group vessels as the theater reserve force for Central Command. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Alex C. Sauceda/Released)


With the popularity of tactical precision rifle shooting on the increase, it naturally follows that new participants want to get the most from their choices. While rifle selection is without a doubt a top priority, choosing a tactical scope is nearly as important. In fact, it’s so important that it literally controls how effective both the rifle and its operator will be.

When the newcomer first peruses the mind-boggling array of tactical scopes currently available, he more often than not finds himself, “on the horns of a dilemma.” Small wonder — there are so many different types and designs being offered these days. So many, in fact, that even the more experienced tactical precision rifle shooter can find himself confused as to which one is best for his needs.

After spending a sizeable chunk of money on a factory or custom-made rifle, the shooter also crashes into the fact that any tactical scope worth having isn’t going to be cheap. Thus, he needs to resign himself to spending a bit more to get the best scope he possibly can.

Fortis Rail Attachment Point (RAP)


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。



Sling mounts are a funny thing, some people like love QD sockets, some hate them. Other people feel you can only trust a sling that weaves through a mount, others hate the restriction of not being able to pop the sling off. I make no attempt to sway people one way or the other, but a new company named Fortis is taking a familiar spin and going ultra light weight.







The Fortis Rail Attachment Point (RAP) is a hard coat anodized 6061 aluminum mount which affixes to a standard 1913 rail by way of an allen head screw. The entire mount, including the screw and back plate, weighs in at .35 ounces, which makes it the lightest weight QD rail mount I’ve ever come across. We got ahold of several of these, and had no problems mounting them to rails. The machining is well done, and all edges are rounded. The QD socket itself is anti-rotational, and to test how well the mount held up we locked it to a rail, then stood on the weapon while jerking on the sling. I’ve seen other QD sockets pop when this is done, but there were no such issues with any of these. The Fortis RAP takes up very little rail space, and can mount facing up on down, or side, top, or even bottom rails if you are so inclined.

BCM Gun Fighter’s Grip

私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。

BCM’s Gun Fighter’s Grip is the evolution of the assault rifle grip. Back in the day, armorless shooters were taught to use a bladed stance and a high elbow. But today, body armor and enhanced understanding of body mechanics during shooting and weapon manipulation has lead to changes in how a rifle is shouldered. We now shoot with shoulders squared up to the target and elbows tucked in for stability and to keep from getting shot in the arm.



All of this means shooters no longer grip the rifle like a Vietnam era grunt. To accommodate the change, the grip angle is changed. Looking at a rifle from the side, you’ll see the bottom, leading edge of the newer grip is further forward. Reducing the grip angle allows shooters a straighter wrist which translates into better trigger control, more recoil control and a stronger grip for weapon manipulation.




Travis Haley, who’s company Haley Strategic was consulted by BCM during the development of the grip, says weapon manipulation techniques have advanced as gunfighters adapt their stance to the use of new armor and weapons and apply knowledge gained by studying recent engagements.



He links two benefits of the modern “squared-up” carbine stance to survivability. First, the stance “offers solid recoil control that dramatically increases the shooters ability to balance speed and precision, says Haley, “This improves efficiency, hit probability, effectiveness which leads to improves shooter survivability.



“Addressing the second benefit of squaring up to the threat, Haley says, “although we are still vulnerable in the head, arms and legs, this modern platform aligns the shooter’s armor plate to protect against the threat verses using the bladed stance that presents the threat with the unarmored underarm and has led to countless fatal shootings.”

While the GFG isn’t the first manufacturer to reduce the grip angle on a carbine, it does offer a few advantages with it’s two shapes, the MOD0 and the MOD1. Both versions have reduced grip angles, and both will come with a pair of trigger guard inserts that allow the grip to work with either a standard AR trigger guard or gapless, integral trigger guards found on newer lowers. Both grips also have a hinged bottom that creates a water tight storage compartment inside the grip.

The MOD0 is a back strapless version that shaped more like a traditional AR grip. It works well with thick gloves or smaller hands. The MOD1 is a little meatier and has a highrise back strap that takes advantage of the the grip surface available under the shooter’s thumb webbing.

The surface of the grips are textured, hard polymer. The hard surface will appeal to shooters that don’t like the tacky feel of a rubber over-molded grip.

Zeiss ZO 4x30i Combat Gunsight


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。

At 2012, he Hensoldt division of Zeiss released the Zeiss ZO 4x30i combat gunsight. The new sight, specifically designed as a combat optic for small arms, has a fixed 4x magnification, is robustly built and offers a very wide field of view. This puts it in the same category as the popular Trijicon ACOG series.



The new combat gunsight is based on the Zeiss ZO 4x30 that is in service with the German military aka the German Bundeswehr. While neither the German military nor Zeiss likes to admit it, the ZO 4x30 had been combat tested in peacekeeping missions and the NATO operations in Afghanistan. Zeiss originally developed the ZO 4x30 as the replacement optic sight for the Bundeswehr’s Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifle’s build-in ZF 3x4° sight.



The Zeiss ZO 4x30i retained the same proven optical formula as the Bundeswehr’s ZO 4x30. It features a 30mm objective lens with a fixed 4-power magnification. The ocular lens size is very large at about 35mm, which gives a big and highly detailed sight picture. The exit pupil is 7.5mm and that is bit larger than the average 5-6mm offered by most of the riflescopes. The eye relief is comfortably at 2.56 inch or 65mm. The internal adjustment system offers 20 mils of adjustments on both the vertical and horizontal axis. Each click of the turrets is 0.2 mil of adjustment.



The biggest improvement over the old build-in ZF sight is doubling the field of view (FOV) from 4 degrees to 8 degrees on the ZO 4x30/4x30i. That had practically increased the viewing area by 10 times through the optic. 8 degree FOV covers 42 feet at 100 yards.



The “i” suffix in new Zeiss ZO 4x30i version stands for illumination. That was added because the German military didn’t want in illuminated reticle for the original version. The newly added illumination system is powered by a single AA battery. Interestingly, the ZO 4x30i’s illumination system is capable of regulating the battery voltage from 1.2 volt (rechargeable AA battery) to 3.6 volt (industrial lithium cells in AA size). The battery life is rated for 800 to 1200 hours per AA battery. There are 6 daylight illumination levels and 3 dedicated night-vision settings.

1,000-Meter Night Sniper


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。

KAC’s NEW Sniper Night Sight denies INSURGENTS the cover of darkness!


KAC NVG is also used by LE, as seen here with the Orlando Police Department S.W.A.T. team, who appreciate the ability to see clearly no matter what the lighting conditionshappen to be.


In the middle of night at a restricted shooting range, a seasoned Navy SEAL clipped a KAC UNS (Universal Night Sight) on the forward Picatinny rail of a 7.62mm NATO weapon, similar to the NV unit on the cover, and took aim. I couldn’t see the trigger-puller several feet away, let alone the 6-inch steel discs several hundred meters distant on the almost moonless night in Florida. Every shot that was fired was followed by a steel clang. In disbelief, I asked to try and was amazed how the targets were readily visible with the UNS placed in front of the pre-registered telescopic sight. At that distance, with almost no moon and no artificial light, I got a hit every time I pulled the trigger! The current record for a nighttime engagement with the UNS is a successful hit at 1,340 meters by a Marine in Afghanistan. Wow, I thought, how can this be?

Knight’s Armament Company (KAC) has a long history of recognizing, developing and producing just exactly what American warfighters need. As an example of Reed Knight seeing solutions before others see the problem, when he saw coverage of American warfighters engaged in combat in the Caribbean in the ’80s, Reed was appalled to see that soldiers had to tape flashlights to the forends of their weapons to fight at night. From that observation, he developed his KAC RAS (Rail Adapter System) that is on just about every M4 today.



That simple solution helped extend the M16/M4 as an effective battle rifle well into the 21st century, and has been so successful that the Pentagon has included similar rails for sighting optics and night vision gear on most handheld weapons in this country’s military. Reed also saw that darkness should help—not challenge—our warriors, so he began developing a family of outstanding night vision gear. As a result, Reed has the UNS series now type-classified to KAC as the AN/PVS-22, AN/PVS-26 and the new AN/PVS-30. This has ensured that American trigger-pullers maintain undisputed superiority in their ability to conduct day or night operations and place precise shots that are limited only by the ballistics of their weapons. The ability to deny the cloak of darkness to terrorists—who once felt safe moving, striking or placing deadly IEDs at night—has saved many American and western troops from injury or death.


The SNS is descended from the KAC AN/PVS-26, which has been used for years by Spec Ops warfighters.

5.56mm SBR Uppers


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。

Seven short-barrel rifle uppers to fit an array of mission requirements!


SBRs (Short-Barreled Rifles) offer a lot of practicality in a small package, for a price that is significantly less than the select-fire rifle or sub gun. Manufacturers such as CMMG, LaRue Tactical, LWRC International, Stag Arms, Troy Industries, Wilson Combat and Noveske Rifle Works (above represent a wide range of products and price points to meet the specific needs of the end-user.



The 12″ LaRue Stealth can serve in both a CQB and precision rifle role. It is shown here equipped with a Magpul PRS stock, Leupold MK 4 scope with LaRue mount, and SureFire’s new Mini suppressor.



The CMMG 7″ upper is among the shortest of the short-barrels, shown here with an Aimpoint Comp M4S, S&W/Troy Back-up Iron Sights and a Magpul Angled Foregrip.



The 8″ LWRC PSD is a piston rifle that is designed for CQB and protective missions. It is equipped with Magpul MOE stock and grip, an Aimpoint T-1 Micro with a LaRue mount and LWRC iron sights shown in the raised position.



The Noveske Rifeworks upper is based on a VLTOR upper receiver and features a 10.5″ polygonal-rifled barrel, Noveske rail, and the Switchblock. It is also shown with the Aimpoint T-1 and SureFire Mini suppressor.



Troy Industries offers the M7 conversion as a kit. Note the Troy vertical grip, pistol grip and sights. The Aimpoint T-1 is mounted on the shorter LaRue mount for an absolute co-index. The complete rifle can be broken down and transported in the factory-provided Hardigg case.



Stag Arms can provide their rifles and uppers in both right- and left-hand versions. The 11.5″ upper features a Samson rail, standard front sight, Arms 71L-R rear sight, and an A2 flash suppressor.



The Wilson Combat upper features a match-grade barrel and their new TRIM rail. It is a slim-line rail that allows the user to mount short Picatinny rail sections in the desired location.

AR Buffer Upgrades


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。

Enhanced buffers for AR patrol carbines improve performance and handling!



A well-accessorized AR is only as good as its internal parts—such as an upgraded buffer.


The ArmaLite rifle designed by Eugene Stoner was, in many ways, a “space age” gun, with Stoner having cut his teeth in the ultra-modern aviation industry. Among the design’s many advanced parts is an innocuous-looking round piece of metal that rides inside a tube in the stock of the rifle. The buffer, buffer tube, and buffer spring reside in an area most shooters don’t even bother to clean, much less think about, but its role is essential.


The Heavy Buffers unit has a nipple that prevents the bolt carrier from damaging the buffer tube.


When the action cycles, the bolt carrier is pushed back against the buffer and partially into the buffer tube, with the buffer spring then pushing the buffer and bolt carrier forward, back into battery. The role of the buffer is to slow down the movement of the bolt carrier, cushion its movement back and provide additional mass in its forward movement to firmly chamber a round and close the bolt.


The right buffer can take a top-tier tactical AR to the next level for the LE officer going into harm’s way. Photo courtesy Heavy Buffers


Here is where the weight and design of the buffer comes in and why there are so many variations and designs. Most standard buffers in semi-auto rifles tend to be fairly lightweight. A lighter buffer can be more forgiving and allow the action to cycle more reliably with a wider range of ammunition, especially lighter loads, or if some parts are not entirely up to spec.


Spike’s Tactical buffers use powdered tungsten making for a smooth cycling rifle. Photo courtesy Spike’s Tactical

G&G M.I.T. Unit


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。



G&G’s most interesting and innovative product at the IWA 2012 probably was their Military Intelligence Tracer Unit, short M.I.T. Unit. This device accommodates several functions, like a tracer unit, a visible laser, a BB counter and a chronometer to calculate the muzzle velocity, into the shape of a silencer. For the last two functions the silencer features a display on its side, which can be switched on or off.




Even more interesting though is a new feature that copies the concept of the MILES (Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System), which is used by the US military for training, and transfers it into the airsoft world. The MILES is basically a laser tag system, where the laser is activated by blanks being fired from the rifle. The M.I.T. Unit now functions very similar: A sensor within the unit detects when a BB is fired and activates a short laser pulse, which would then activate sensors worn by other players when hit. The target sensor could then signal the hit with sound and/or light, but G&G has not decided yet how these would look like, how many they would use or how exactly they will be worn by the players. Here they are looking for the potential customer’s feedback to find the optimal solution.



Anyways, the basic idea is to combine laser tag with airsoft, so that the advantages of both worlds can be utilized. At close distances the game would be the same as usual but beyond the maximal effective range of the BB pellets of roughly 50 m, encounters would still be possible up to around 300 m, thanks to the laser system, while the general airsoft feeling is still sustained.

The M.I.T. Unit itself has a 14 mm counter-clockwise thread and its batteries were said to last up to one week in standby. It will be released this summer around June.

Battle Reflexes


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。

Split-second precision! From CQB to 200-plus yards, today’s new holographic and red dot sights have the enemy covered!



Experiments and tortuous use in varied shooting competition did much to enhance the usability and reliability of red dot sights on today’s urban battlefields.


Since the advent of rifled firearms, manufacturers and gunsmiths have sought ways for the firearm user to more efficiently exploit the equipment’s mechanical accuracy potential. An overview of issue arms through the smoothbore days reveals a near absence of sights. Muskets of the day were sometimes devoid of aiming aids. Sights on others were little more than simple shotgun-type beads for rudimentary pointing. What at first glance appears to be a front sight on some muskets was actually a lug for bayonet mounting.

This changed when rifles became common issue. Common infantry long guns could now be expected to deliver reliable hits on man-sized targets at a quarter mile and beyond, a nearly tenfold increase in effective range. Militaries established “schools of musketry” to teach troops how to exploit this new capability. Training and qualification courses took shooters out to 600 yards and beyond. Influenced by civilian competition shooters, forward-thinking high echelon leaders such as General Philip Sheridan began encouraging competitive shooting programs to find the best talent among the ranks. Competition shooting promoters William Church and George Wingate would publish material teaching their methods learned at matches, which eventually evolved into the U.S. Army’s first marksmanship manual. The formats used eventually became the National Match Course created for the M1873 Trapdoor Springfield, the issued rifle of the day.



Military and law enforcement today are commonly using red dot technology born in competition, as it provides quick aiming in most lighting conditions and can be adapted to night vision use.


Tactics change partially in response to available technology. Tripod-mounted machine guns, organic to the unit, could better apply mass fires at distance, as a single team could do the work of dozens of troops armed with bolt-actions. Better still, fire from a battery miles away could provide effective coverage without revealing the location of a maneuvering element with telltale small-arms fire. Reports from the field through World War II and Korea revealed that despite the potential ballistic capability, most troops simply did not, or could not, engage beyond 300 yards. What’s more, the limitations of iron sights were beginning to be realized.



In addition to the military-issue M68, Aimpoint markets models to hunters in the familiar 30mm tube diameter.

Battle Arms Development - Ambidextrous Safety Selector


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。



After more than a year of development, testing and refinement, the Battle Arms Development - Ambidextrous Safety Selector (or 'BAD-ASS') has finally been released, which is very exciting for me as a left-handed user of the AR-15. The BAD-ASS is user-configurable and addresses the issue of lever interference with the trigger hand when rotating the lever from 'safe' to 'fire'. The BAD-ASS is designed for both left and right handed shooters who believe that ambidextrous controls on a weapon are an advantage, and allow the user to operate the weapon as efficiently as possible no matter which side they're firing from.






The BAD-ASS package comes with the selector axis and three detachable levers (standard, thin and short), which are installed using torx mounting screws. A torx wrench is included in the package. The standard lever is about the same length and thickness as the standard USGI lever. It just has a different profile. To maximize 'shelf' area for the thumb to engage positively, the cross section is more rectangular than rounded/pyramidal. The thin lever is the same length as the standard lever, but half the thickness of the USGI lever. The short lever is the same thickness, but shorter than the USGI lever.







The levers have broad, angled serrations on their surface to provide a sure and positive purchase for the thumb, and also the 'crook' of the finger (when it is used to flip the lever from 'fire' to 'safe'). I find that with an ambi safety, I flip the lever from 'safe' to 'fire' with the thumb, but use the crook of my trigger finger plus the thumb to flip it back to 'safe'. There is a groove machined into the pocket of the lever, as well as the round part, which can be filled with paint for a more visible identification of lever position. I must mention that the initial inspiration for the lever shape came from a one-off custom ambi safety that my friend Shin Tanaka made for me, that I've been using for the past few years. BAD and I came up with and tested different shapes/profiles, but in the end, arrived with a profile similar to that of the Shin lever, through natural evolution and progression of the design based on testing and evaluation. A great amount of thought, time and effort went into the design of the levers from all involved.

21st Century Gunfighter is releasing the first extended magazine release for Smith & Wesson M&P pistols today. We’ve had some time with it on the range and in the studio. The part is not simply a longer version of the stock mag release. 21CG worked with Chris Costa to refine the shape, angle and surface of the Catalyst and make it work seamlessly with the ergos of the pistol.













Since there aren’t any other M&P extended mag releases to compare this thing to, I’ll briefly relate it to an experience I had with using a similar part in another pistol. I have used an extended mag release on a gen3 Glock 19 and wanted to throw the pistol downrange after the third shot. The squared-off edges bit into my support hand and turned my range session into some kind of Catholic self-mortification ritual.

Not so with the Catalyst. Picking up the pistol, I noticed right away that the ergos were just about perfect. The button didn’t interact with my shooting grip. At. All. Even off-hand, the release didn’t interfere with my grip. Sure, this has a lot to do with the excellent design of the M&P grip, but 21CG could have easily screwed the grip up with too much button, sharp edges, or odd angles. The face of the Catalyst has a few wide serrations that create traction as you drive your thumb forward for the mag change. They don’t look like much, but they are aggressive enough and do their job well.

Glock LaserLyte Rear Sight Laser


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。



LaserLyte® , the leader in laser technology for the shooting sports market for 25 years, has never believed that laser technology needs to be complicated or expensive. LaserLyte® returns to basics with the patented RTB-GL rear sight laser that fits all GLOCK® firearms. The high performance laser built into a rear sight specifically designed for all GLOCK pistols features a simple, ambidextrous “press and go” activation.

Made from heavy-duty, high carbon steel for added durability, the LaserLyte® RTB-GL rear sight laser has a black chrome finish for corrosion prevention. A great benefit of the LaserLyte® RTB-GL rear sight laser, besides the single-laser-fits-all-GLOCKS, is that the customer will not have to replace grips, internal stock parts or holsters. The LaserLyte RTB-GL rear sight laser is compatible with all Level 1 and Level 2 holsters including the BLACKHAWK!® SERPA® holster system.

Noveske NSR Handguard


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。



The NSR handguard was designed with the goal of being the lightest and smallest free floating handguard option to the M16 family of weapons. The width of the NSR handguard before accessories have been installed is only 1.48″ The NSR handguard will be available for sale as standard equipment on our rifles and upper assemblies, as well as a separate component for sale to the public. On rifles and upper assemblies including the Vltor MUR upper receiver, the NSR handguard comes pinned to the upper receiver for perfect alignment of the 1913 top rails, and creates an anti-rotation interface with the upper receiver the same as our existing Lo-Pro offerings. We plan to offer this in 7″, 9″, 11″, 13.5″, and 16″ lengths.



The KeyMod inter-locking rail system is a collaboration between Vltor Weapon Systems and Noveske Rifleworks. Separately, both companies were in development of their own systems, but later realizing that both systems were similar, a standardization of the KeyMod system came to be.

The KeyMod system offers a mounting platform for a variety of (future) accessories and components. The days of the Picatinny Rail (MIL-STD-1913) are numbered. The future of the direct mountable accessory is here and now. The KeyMod self-contained components/mounting hardware index and V-block onto the platform, achieving a secured and accurate hold to the system, while separate lugs take the recoil force off the fasteners. The pass through attachment method eliminates the need for loose screws and backing plates that can easily be lost, or difficult to install. Another advantage of the KeyMod system over the 1913 system is the direct attach eliminates the need for the 1913 system as a “middle Man” thereby reducing weight and accessory off-set from the center of the handguard.

CQ-Flash


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。



Airsoft life in Germany is a little bit of a bummer. It seems that you cannot attach real tactical lights in your airsoft gun.



In that case, we have 2 boxes of CQ-Flash that we intend to be disabled into non-working dummies. It is such a waste but airsoft players want to look cool, even to the extent of using dummy lights. Well, I also have dummer peq lasers on mine so why not them also.



So, to our friends in Germany, enjoy these tactical lights!

Offset Sight Systems


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。

Rock-solid canted optical/sight sets that bridge the gap between long range and CQB!


A canted sight system gives you the ability to instantaneously switch from a longer-range optic to a close-range CQB sight.


For a law enforcement officer, the issue of setting up a patrol long gun raises several questions. Will it be used primarily (or even exclusively) for CQB/entry duties, or will you be faced with longer-range shots, pushing into the realm of the precision rifle? Do you want basic iron sights or a red dot unit for ultra-close-range engagements, or a magnified sight for the precision work?

Well, one solution is to have both. Simply put, there is a growing trend with serious long gun shooters for having a combination of these two types of sighting systems through the use of offset (canted) sighting systems. In the next couple of pages, we’ll consider different canted sight platforms and how to use them to your benefit.

Eotech’s EXPS3-2 Sight


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。

Evolution of the Holographic Weapon Sight — getting on target faster when seconds count!




When asked which sight to use on an AR15 platform, the EOTech is generally a first choice. It just works so well on the platform, and is truly well suited for police work. There is certainly nothing wrong with a simple red dot system, but the larger reticle with various aiming points simply lends itself to what police officers do. It allows for many reference points at varying distances to compensate for sight offset, without the need to necessarily look for a dot. As a rather staunch adherent to the concept of focusing on the threat and not the sight, this system works really well. When precision is paramount, the center dot can be used. At CQB distances, you need simply put the threat in the correct portion of the reticle and go to work. It has always proven to be very fast, accurate and precise when needed.


The EXPS3-2 takes up little space on the rails, easily accommodating additional accessories such as NVDs or the G23.FTS magnifier.


The mounting system right out of the box co-witnesses most BUIS systems designed for the AR Platform, thus removing the need to buy another mount. It zeroes easily with no special tools and, depending on the model, accommodates night vision equipment as well. In the case of the XPS, mounting that 123 battery transversely really cuts down on the size. For years my preference was the N-battery model for just that reason; it just makes it so compact.

The EXPS3 system is available in two configurations, the only real difference being the reticle. The EXPS3-0 uses the standard 65 MOA reticle with a single 1 MOA aiming dot. The EXPS3-2 uses a 65 MOA reticle but contains two, 1 MOA aiming dots (the sight provided has these two aiming dots). There are some other changes to this system as well. The battery cap and latch are gone, replaced by a simple O-ring and cap tethered to the sight. It also utilizes a quick release system that is shorter, more compact, and goes on and off very easily. Lastly, buttons are mounted to the side in order to accommodate the use of night vision or the three-power magnifier.

The first thing observed was the clarity of the reticle. Not sure if they changed anything, but this one just seemed to be more “solid” to me. There was a bit less of the pixelation that is sometimes seen. It was mounted to my Para USA TTR for the bulk of the live fire testing; but was fitted to several other uppers.

The mount is really easy to get on and off. A simple push of the button in the front of the mount and it comes loose. It fit with no adjustment on all of my upper receivers and the Para USA TTR.

Silencer Science


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。


GemTech’s Dr. Phil schools us on everything we’ll ever need to know about high-quality suppressor technology.


SureFire’s Barry Dueck testfires a First Gen FA556 suppressor which has been upgraded with a better locking mechanism.

Ignorance and stupidity are not the same. Ignorance is a lack of information whereas stupidity is the inability to comprehend the information available. In my case, however, both apply. Worse yet, I think I’m fairly smart which means I don’t know what I don’t know. I’m about to discover just how dumb I am on the subject of suppressors because I’m here at Long Mountain Outfitters in Nevada to take a suppressor class from the acknowledged dean of silence, Dr. Phil Dater.



Suppressors are not without their drawbacks. Adding a pound or two to the muzzle slows target-to-target acquisition and makes the weapon longer, and thus more cumbersome in CQB.



Dr. Dater is a retired medical doctor, a radiologist, who turned a lifelong hobby of researching sound suppressors into a profession more than 30 years ago. He is one of the owners of a leading suppressor manufacturer, Gemtech, and also consults through his Antares Technologies side-business. Phil, as he prefers to be called, is about to educate me with a graduate-level understanding of cans.





What, then, is the sound of a gunshot? I now know it’s a wave of over-pressure, meaning a pressure wave that’s greater than the local pressure of the medium—air. Okay, but how is that sound generated? The answer to this question, it turns out, cuts to the chase of suppressors.
