BEAVERTON, Ore. --(Ammoland.com)-New from Leupold’s Tactical Optics Division, the Mark 4 High Accuracy Multi-Range (HAMR) riflescope has the performance and versatility required for active duty in bright daylight, low light and at night.

The Mark 4 HAMR is a fixed power 4x24mm sight. Built for precise mid-range marksmanship and fast target acquisition, it offers a variety of features that work to the advantage of military warfighters, law enforcement personnel, and other tactical or competitive shooters.

These features include the ballistically matched illuminated CM-R2 reticle, a fast-focus eyepiece and Leupold’s advanced Xtended Twilight Lens System. In addition, Leupold’s DeltaPoint reflex sight can be attached to the HAMR, providing instant target acquisition capability at close quarters. (DeltaPoint and HAMR are available as a package.)

“Our new Mark 4 HAMR is versatile, tough, compact and combat-ready,” said Kevin Trepa, vice president of tactical sales and marketing for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “Simple to use, it can be employed with any AR-15 variant to engage targets with exceptional speed and precision.”

The CM-R2 reticle is designed for the most popular tactical rounds and weapons systems. An etched glass reticle, it is clearly visible with the illumination activated or in the “off” mode.

By combining the ranging ability of Leupold’s Special Purpose Reticle (SPR®) with the quick acquisition of the Leupold Circle Dot reticle, the CM-R2 provides the flexibility necessary on the modern battlefield or 3-gun course. The CM-R2 preserves the instinctive fire capabilities of the Circle Dot for the short-range, low-magnification needs of the CQB warfighter and competitive multi-gun shooters.

The CM-R2 is designed to allow the shooter to focus more attention on the target and less attention on the reticle. A boldly illuminated 0.5 MOA dot surrounded by a 5.0 MOA semi-circle enhance the shooter’s focus and combine precision with speed when the target is up close and personal. Hash marks on the horizontal stadia are calibrated for leading moving targets at 5, 10 and 15 mph, respectively. Vertical tic marks allow users to estimate ranges based on 18” wide targets at increasing ranges, while also providing precise holdover points for targets between 300 and 900 meters.

With a quick 1.5 revolutions “lock to lock,” the rapid adjustment speed of the HAMR’s eyepiece helps get the shooter in focus and on target in short order. The addition of a DeltaPoint allows the user to quickly shift from the reflex sight to the HAMR, transitioning from close quarters to longer ranges with speed and ease.

Leupold’s Xtended Twilight Lens System provides superior light transmission for the best low-light performance, particularly in the blue/violet light of dawn and dusk. The system produces an extremely bright, sharp image across the HAMR’s visual field. Combined with a constant 2.71 inches of eye relief, the optical system is much more forgiving and effective than first-generation optical sights.

A flat-top Picatinny mounting system is included with each HAMR. It is compatible with any rail mounting system. Other features include 0.10 mil click adjustments for windage and elevation, and a F88 5.56mm Bullet Drop Compensation (BDC) dial.

Ready for deployment, the Mark 4 HAMR comes in a matte black finish, weighs 17.2 ounces and is 5.6 inches long. The scope is waterproof, fog proof and shock proof.

Defense Technology Brand Releases New Specialty Impact Munitions

Friday, April 29th, 2011 at 10:22 AM

Defense Technology Brand Releases New Direct Impact and eXact iMpact Extended Range Specialty Impact Munitions
Models: Direct Impact 6320LE, 6322LE, 6323LE, 6326LE; eXact iMpact 6325LE

JACKSONVILLE, Florida –-(Ammoland.com)- Safariland, a BAE Systems line of business, announced the release of five new Specialty Impact models in its Defense Technology brand.

Designed for corrections officers and tactical teams, these point-of-aim/point-of-impact 40 mm rounds offer high accuracy and blunt impact with an extended range payload delivery.

This family of munitions is readily identified by its black base, distinguishable even in low light conditions.

Extended Range Specialty Impact Munitions utilize lightweight, high-speed, spin-stabilized projectiles for optimum energy dissipation. Smokeless powder is used as the propellant, yielding consistent velocities and accuracy at extended ranges. These new extended range models can be fired from a variety of 40 mm launchers, ensuring optimum accuracy at ranges between 10 to 70 meters. These rounds are commonly used in situations where maximum deliverable energy is desired to incapacitate an aggressive, non-compliant subject.

The Direct Impact Extended Range Munitions consist of a plastic body and a crushable foam nose containing an OC, CS, Inert, or Marking payload that disperses upon impact with the target. Deformation of the foam nose helps to dissipate the impact energy. Each variant of the extended range family is distinguished by its nose color and material. The eXact iMpact Extended Range Munitions consist of a plastic body and sponge nose that ensures even energy delivery without inducing serious injury.

The LE Direct Impact Extended Range Munitions incorporate refinements to the original military design developed in 2005, which featured the performance of the most comprehensive non-lethal human effects assessment in the industry. These included human injury potential assessment by Wayne State University using the 3-Rib Ballistic Impact Dummy, a biomechanical surrogate of a human rib cage. Other tests included penetration assessments using a validated ballistic gelatin penetration surrogate, and back face signature measurements in clay according to the NIJ 0101.04 testing methodology.

The testing results were used to develop the optimum combination of less-lethal performance and effectiveness when deployed by trained professionals.

Both the LE Direct Impact and eXact iMpact Extended Range Munitions offer options that will fulfill multiple needs across a wide operational range. Available for order now, MSRP is as follows:

Direct Impact Extended Range eXact iMpact Extended Range

  • OC 6320LE $28.50
  • Sponge Round 6325LE $28.50
  • CS 6322LE $28.50
  • Inert 6323LE $27.00
  • Marking 6326LE $28.50
