Wolf Releases Optics Line

SHOT Show 2015:

Wolf officially releases its line of optics for sale to the public. Included in its offerings is the PSU, a 1x-4x competitor to the Raytheon Elcan. It is equipped with graduations for work out to 800 m and includes seven low light reticle settings as well as throw lever quick-detach mounts.

Also, included in their offerings is a series of night vision devices. Of these the PN23 is a dedicated night optic with integral IR illumination source. Similarly, the PN22 maintains all of the capabilities of the PN23; however, also includes the ability to transition to no IR support for full use during the daylight hours. Lastly, the PN21K is a PVS-14 style monocular designed to be mounted on the head or hard mounted behind an optic on a rifle.

At VSO we had the opportunity to run these optics through several hard days of testing and evaluation and were impressed.

IWI Galil ACE: Evolved

THE IWI Galil ACE is the new age galil that the USA has not seen since its evolution:

Quick look

That said significant improvements have been made. These are now ground-up constructed. Instead of saying what is wrong with the AK? How do we fix it? The directive was to take the strides of the Galil and put them to work in the ACE.

What are we talking? Skeleton-polymer lower (weight reduction), enhanced ergonomics (including charging handle movement), elemental resistance (gun is now sealed off  like an AR rather than an AK), modularity (monolithic top rail for optics mounting).

Elite Tactical Systems VS IraqVeteran8888 and VSO Gun Channel

We recently attended the Big 3 Event in Dayton Beach, FL. While there we met up with Elite Tactical Systems Group (ETS) and learned about their new magazines. In conversation with the ETS guys the topic of rugged testing came up and their claims were interesting. So I flat out asked them "Let's test them right now, what do you think?" They agreed and of we went.

While prepping up to go off the wire Eric and Chad from IraqVeteran8888 were passing by and we asked if they wanted to come play? They obliged and played a major role in the testing. So without further delay here is our torture testing of ETS Magazines.

Shoot Steel Close Range Rifle Targets

ShootSteel.com has a wide variety of offerings in their line of AR500 steel targets. We initially acquired some targets from their static setup line and were very happy with them. However, they showed signs of damage when bimetallic jacketed bullets were shot at them. Their solution was for us to test out their close range rifle setups. These things were awesome. ShootSteel personnel even attended the testing. Probably to make sure we didn't cheat and shoot something ridiculous at them.

We plan to acquire the full line of ShootSteelproducts to give you an in-depth look at them all.

Asymmetric Solutions Capability Demonstration 2014

I recently attended and filmed the capabilities demonstration at Asymmetric Solutions USA. It was a multi-part demonstration the first phase of which was a simulated hit. See that video below.

ShootSteel.com Portable AR500 Steel Targets

ShootSteel.Com has a wide range of target set ups that, in my opinion are excellent alternatives. I first came across these by shooting with FXHummel. To date we had been blasting away at really heavy homemade stuff that I welded together myself. I really love how easy they are to set up and transport. Here is a quick look at the excellence:

A War Far from Over, an Enemy Strengthened by our Ineptittude

“And we remember the end of our combat mission and the emergence of a new dawn -– the precision of our efforts against al Qaeda in Iraq, the professionalism of the training of Iraqi security forces, and the steady drawdown of our forces."

Tell that to James Foley. I strongly advise you to not view the contents of this link around children and the infirm. When Live Leak puts a stop in place before you get to a piece of content you know it's going to be bad. I assure you that it is. However, for those of you who think you can stomach it- this directly shows the evil that has possessed our enemy. Fewer times will you see evil so purely incarnated than in such religious zelotry.

Some of us have known, others denied, and still more were naive to it; we are at war. I don't care if you want to be or not, the enemy has chosen the time.  This is the price of subjecting our military capacities to the petty whims of a spineless politician. This is the price, of anti-American rhetoric and policies used for the purposes of political expediency and personal gain. This is the price of directing our efforts to a progressive domestic agenda rather than focusing on those that would see our civilization annihilated. 

This, Mr. President, is the price of not finishing what we start. Men better than you and I died for that ground and you handed back in gift wrap. The enemy has chosen the time. I pray that we get our shit together and find someone who has the fortitude to do your job before they choose the place as well.

Remember kids, Islam is a religion of peace...
