U.S. Marines can now go on missions with a lighter load as they the infantry units start getting to receive the Plate Carrier Gen III. This next generation plate carrier is 25% lighter than the plate carrier that the Marines are currently using. As a plate carrier, it guards against bullets and fragmentation when protective plates are added.

3-Gun Nation is a growing sport and it can played with real firearms, airgun and airsoft as well. For those who are not familiar with this sport, it involves, as it name says, proficiency in shooting a rifle, pistol and shotgun and being fast at it in any given course of fire.

The organisers of the largest airsoft event in Latin America, WarZone Brazil, are now starting preparations. 2a1 Cenografia, the company behind this event, have set the event for the 15th to 17th of November 2019 in Aruja city, which is located in the state of São Paulo. Last year, it was held in September.

If you are going to the IWA Outdoor Classics 2019 in Nuremberg, Germany, better block off your 1300-1600H on Sunday, the 10th of March as it is going to be your date with the Airsoft Industry, Airsoft Community, and the Airsoft Media for the 8th Airsoft Meetup.

It’s always fascinating to spot upcoming technologies that can be used with firearms at the SHOT Show and the keyword nowadays is “Smart” or “Intelligent.”  For SHOT Show 2019, we reported about the T-Worx Intelligent Rail and for this weekend, it’s about a “Smart” sight.

For this generation of swiping, smartphone crazy users, an Israeli company has developed what is says to be the “most powerful sight system in the world.”

Existing rifles in the U.S. Army can be turned into “Smarter” Weapons with the Intelligent Rail from T-Worx, a subsidiary of Prototype Productions.  The product has been tested and approved under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), and T-Worx.

If you want a more stable platform with your pistol, the first thing that gets to your mind is get a carbine conversion kit such as the RONI or the HERA 1911. They do turn your Glock or 1911 into a mini carbine that you can attach weapons accessories with. But then it is not a pistol that you can holster anymore after using it.

Radetec has been developing LED or LCD counters for firearms for several years now. The company, which is based in Zaragosa, Spain, released a counter for the 1911 pistol a few years back, and have kept on developing more counters since then.  The Glock Counter, or called the Radetec Inertial Shooting Counter  (RISC), which is getting more attention since the SHOT Show 2019, is already 3 years old, having first revealed by Radetec in 2016.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Army put out a press release that they will begin testing prototypes for the new Army Combat Boots (ACB). The testing will be at three different basic training and active duty installations over the next four months. This will gather feedback for further evaluation and improvement for the new footwear that is planned to be released.
