Reliable, fight-stopping power in a compact carbine!

Aficionados of “traditional” firearms like old name brands. An AR-15 buyer has an array of more than 70 companies to choose from when they want to add a rifle of this time-tested platform to their collection. There’s a certain mystique to buying a Colt AR-15. But if you want to buy a rifle from the original company that gave the AR its namesake, ArmaLite, Inc., then purchasing an M-15 makes perfect sense.

If you are ready to add a 6.8 SPC-chambered AR-platform rifle to your collection, then ArmaLite’s addition of this caliber to its lineup is good news. On the other hand, you may be a law enforcement officer who has learned that a .22-caliber rifle is a good weapon, but it has its limitations. The special operations community has its reasons for upgrading to a larger-caliber rifle. The LE community also has learned the hard way that defeating barriers reliably, such as auto windshield glass, potentially requires more energy and bullet mass than provided by a 5.56mm NATO cartridge. Answering that call, too, ArmaLite’s M-15A4 Carbine chambered in 6.8 SPC is a good alternative when shopping for a duty carbine.

Professionals who want enhanced stopping power from their duty rifle will be well served with Armalite’s M-15A4 chambered in 6.8 SPC. Shown here with the Trijicon 4x ACOG.

The M-15A4 employs a mid-length gas system that offers cleaner and potentially more reliable operation than a carbine-length gas system.

The mil-spec bolt carrier is made from Carpenter 158 steel and features a gas key that works with the direct gas impingement system.

Agilite Israeli Army Human Backpack

Israeli tactical gear specialists Agilite Systems have just released a new piece of equipment that allows a single soldier or rescue professional to carry an injured person while keeping both hands completely free.

The IPC (Injured Personnel Carrier) came about when soldiers from one of the Israel Defense Forces’ elite units found that by connecting four rifle slings together they could carry injured soldiers like a backpack, instead of the traditional fireman’s carry.

Agilite turned the concept into a product, incorporated built-in padding and several other features and now it’s a more efficient alternative to the fireman’s carry that keeps both hands free and is significantly more comfortable for both the carrier and evacuee.

“Anyone who’s ever carried or been carried in a fireman’s carry knows it’s incredibly uncomfortable and inefficient,” said Lt. Col.(Ret) Dr Eric Setton, former Head of Medevac for 669, The Israeli Air Force’s elite search & rescue unit.

“The IPC gives you full maneuverability, keeping the injured person securely on your back and gives you full use of both your arms and legs.” Whether you’re a soldier carrying a wounded operator out of a firefight or a rescue professional carrying an injured hiker up a steep hillside, the IPC is a must-have item.” Said Setton. The IPC folds to be just 10″ long and weighs only 0.77lbs.
