San Diego, Calif. --(AmmoLand.com)-  You’ve decided to legally carry a concealed handgun. Now what?

Firearms expert Clint Smith answers in his newest DVD video course entitled, “Concealed Carry Options,” which is part of Smith’s highly acclaimed Thunder Ranch Training Series.

Smith’s lifestyle approach to concealed carry educates viewers on how to make guns and clothing work together while choosing the best options for your daily activities. Smith, a Vietnam veteran and former police officer, stresses gun-use as a last resort, but asserts if forced to defend yourself, bring the best equipment and know how to use it.

Concealed Carry Options DVD

“We are looking at equipment; we are looking at techniques; and we are looking at how to combine these things to provide the best block of information, so that you can use a concealed carry weapon to defend yourself and your family,” said Smith.

“Most of all when it comes to concealing firearms, remember that they’re not always the most effective tool, what really makes them effective, is the fact that you practice and are confident with them.”

Smith also vigilantly discusses the assets and liabilities of a concealed handgun and how they will affect the individual. Smith’s advice cleverly hits the target.

“Carrying a gun is not supposed to be comfortable; it’s supposed to be comforting. The gun that’s with you is better than the one that’s home in the safe.”

In addition to Smith’s observations on mental preparation and logic, he also offers advice on guns, equipment and technique with actual range demonstrations.

“Concealed Carry Options” is a two-disc DVD set loaded with two hours of information that’s currently available for $49.95 (including shipping). For more information on the Thunder Ranch Training Series, including video previews of all nine video training courses, please visit www.americanhandgunner.com/TRvids.html.

Anchorpoint

LELAND, NC --(AmmoLand.com)- Trophy Score, an iPhone and iPod Touch application for scoring big game animals, is the first mobile application to be approved by Safari Club International.

Trophy Score is available worldwide in the iTunes App Store for $2.99 (US) and through the use of official SCI methods and diagrams, assists hunters through the process of scoring aoudad, cape buffalo, six subspecies of caribou, four subspecies of eland, kudu, pronghorn antelope and four subspecies of turkey.

Trophy Score iPhone and iPod Touch Application

Once scored, trophies are synchronized to the world’s only no-minimum record book at AnchorpointOutdoors.com.

“Not every hunter will get a world record, but their personal best may be pretty darn good,” says Trophy Score developer and Doubletough Ventures, Inc. President Chip Hunnicutt.

Trophy Score is the top-rated iPhone application for scoring big game using methods for scoring according to Boone and Crockett, Pope and Young and SCI. Once a method is selected, the hunter then chooses a species to score.

In addition to the species available through the SCI scoring method, hunters may also score typical and non-typical elk, whitetail and mule deer, four subspecies of bear, and three subspecies of moose.

“No app comes close to the detail we put into Trophy Score. The custom keypad with a dedicated 1/8 key for handling fractions, the ability to add a photo and syncing to the Anchorpoint Trophy Room are key differentiators,” said Hunnicutt.

Doubletough Ventures, Inc. has provided consulting services and solutions in online advertising, marketing, audio/video podcasting products and website design. Trophy Score and Anchorpoint were developed by Doubletough Ventures to enhance the hunting experience. For more information, please visit www.AnchorpointOutdoors.com.

Trophy Score Becomes Official iPhone Application Of SCI

Electronic Shooters Protection Models

ESP - Electronic Shooters Protection

Brighton, CO --(AmmoLand.com)- One of the biggest secrets in the shooting sports is that it takes only a single blast to damage your hearing permanently.

Take the roar of a motorcycle running full-throttle for 40 hours straight, condense it into a split second, and you’ve got a good approximation of the sound energy generated by an average gunshot, wrote Hearing Loss News and Reviews.

It’s shocking, but even experienced hunters deliberately leave their hearing protection at home — believing they can hear their quarry better with the naked ear. While this may be true for the short-term, it can result in dramatic hearing loss over the years that puts hunters at a greater disadvantage in the field — and makes them a safety hazard.

That’s because many hunters, and target shooters, don’t fully appreciate the magnitude of the risk of shooting without correct ear protection.

Every time you pull the trigger on your shotgun, you’re assaulting your ears with up to 150 decibels (dB) of deafening noise.

While repeated exposure over 90 dB will result in permanent hearing loss, a single shotgun blast of more than 120 dB can do the same if you don’t use hearing protection every time you shoot.

How is this possible?
Because your hearing depends on the health of hundreds of thousands of hair cells that line the cochlea part of your ear. The cochlea is the tiny, snail-shaped organ of your inner ear. Each hair cell in the cochlea detects a different sound. These upright hair cells wave back and forth in a fluid. By converting a mechanical noise into an electrical impulse, the hair cells work in concert to help your brain understand what you’re hearing.

Now imagine that a shotgun blast penetrates the cochlea so hard that thousands of these hair cells are broken, bent or sheared off entirely.

Since your cochlea hair cells do not grow back, you’re hearing has suffered permanent damage. And all of this happens in a millisecond — condensing year of slow hearing loss into a single, irreversible incident. It’s like getting hit by a massive sound wave — a tsunami of sorts that destroys the most sensitive components of your ears.

Do You Want to Spend $60,000 to Rebuild Your Cochlea?
At that point, the only thing left to do is spend up to $6,000 on a hearing aid or as much as $40,000 – $60,000 on a cochlea implant, according to the National Association of the Deaf.

Or of course, you could forget about these expensive hearing enhancements and instead go through the rest of your life asking “What did you say?”…and become the butt of all those jokes from your shooting buddies.

While you may think this can’t happen to you, a recent study from the University of Wisconsin suggests otherwise.

What the University of Wisconsin Discovered About Your Hearing
In the study titled “Recreational Firearms Use and Hearing Loss,” the university’s researchers studied the hearing capabilities of 1,538 Wisconsin men, ages 48 to 92. Three-quarters of them were hunters, and one in seven also shot targets.

After adjusting for other forms of noise exposure, including snowmobile use or the operation of heavy equipment, the researchers concluded that for every five years of recreational hunting by the men in the study, the risk of high-frequency hearing loss climbed by 7 percent.

So as you can see, without hearing protection, it’s not a matter of if — but when — you’ll suffer irreparable hearing loss.
In an attempt to safeguard their hearing, many shooters will take old-fashioned shortcuts. While these industrial-age shortcuts may give shooters like yourself peace of mind, they often fall short of providing you with the best possible protection that optimize the ongoing developments in digital technology.

A few examples of industrial-age shortcuts include foam ear plugs, cotton wads, bulky ear muffs or cheap custom-made ear plugs you find at shooting competitions and your local gun store made by the guy with greasy fingers.

It would be a crying shame to have your hearing depend on old-fashioned aids that can date back to the Civil War.
That’s why Electronic Shooters Protection (ESP) was founded in 1993 — to help shooters like you enjoy safe and frequent outings without jeopardizing your hearing.

He believed there should be a safe, effective way to protect a shooter’s hearing, while

still being able to hear natural sounds and normal conversation. From this desire was born ESP, the first company to manufacture custom-molded, electronic in-the-ear hearing protection that rely upon sophisticated micro technology instead of weight and bulk.

How does ESP work?
Each ESP has its own volume control. It allows you to hear ordinary conversation, the flush of a bird, the launch of a clay target, even the slightest rustle of a deer stepping on leaves as if you were wearing nothing in your ears at all. Depending on how you set the volume, even better.

The moment your ears are subjected to any noise of 90 dB or higher, advanced electronic

compression circuitry instantly activates, shutting off excessive dB levels. Shutoff is

instantaneous and unnoticeable. In the same instant that your hearing can be destroyed by a shotgun blast, ESP will save it.  Immediately afterwards, you can still hear everything around you, even as others are shooting…but without risk of damage to your hearing.

ESP has developed three models of intelligent custom-molded electronic in-the-ear protection. Once you use them, you’ll never have another excuse for leaving your hearing protection in the glove box.

ESP Series 3 Digital: All your hearing protection in a single, intelligent product
The most advanced digital technology on the market, the Series 3 Digital produces the ultimate in smooth, natural CD-quality ambient sound. Multi-memory programming allows you to instantly select different modes for specific sound environments. The Series 3 Digital is our top-of-the-line model, flexible enough for targets, upland shooting and for stalking turkeys and deer. It’s like getting every one of our products packed into one form factor.

ESP Series 2 Digital: Take control of your hearing protection
The same CD-quality sound and digital transmission as our Series 3 Digital, it’s designed for hunters in the stalking mode. The Series 2 Digital lets you hear every natural sound without over-amplification. Target shooters can also use the Series 2 to listen for the trap machines. And of course, conversations around you will sound like you are listening to them with your naked ear. Intelligent, multi-memory programming allows you to instantly select different modes for specific sound environments.

ESP Series 1 Analog: Stop shooting-related hearing loss at an entry-level price
The same instant 90-dB cutoff protection, 25-dB noise suppression, custom comfort and ambient noise volume control as our digital models, at an attractive price. The Series 1 gives you the affordability of analog protection with many of the benefits of the digital products. It’s great for stalking deer and turkeys.

How They Work
Every product in the intelligent ESP Digital Series is custom made to your specifications. You provide us with a custom mold from one of our dealers, or you can go to your favorite audiologist.

We create an in-the-ear device that contains a microphone, speaker, volume control and battery — all connected by a tiny, reliable circuit chip. Each one is tested for quality assurance on our high-powered computers before it’s sent back to you.

Our in-the-ear products are made of a UV cured acrylic, which provide a semi-soft shell for comfort and seal — while remaining durable enough to hold their shape, keep their color and prevent against rips and tears. Because of the tight seal, they provides ±25 dB noise suppression even when not turned on.

When a Bad Hair Day Shooting Can Make You Deaf as a Post

Bushnell Trophy Cam Trail Camera

Bushnell Outdoor Products

Overland Park, KS – -(AmmoLand.com)- With the advent of digital versus film cameras in the last few years, the popularity of trail cameras has skyrocketed.

Consumers can now take hundreds, even thousands of digital photos at a fraction of the cost of film.

With this technological breakthrough it makes more sense than ever to own at least one trail camera.

Traditionally trail cameras have been used primarily by deer hunters to photograph the animals in their hunting area for the purpose of scouting for the upcoming season. This is still a big part of their use, but outdoorsmen have begun to discover a whole host of new ways to use their cameras.

Sportsmen and wildlife enthusiasts are now using trail cameras for other types of wildlife watching, such as placing a camera near a bird feeder to see what comes in while they are at work or at night, while they’re asleep. Turkey hunters are using cameras to record the times when a particular gobbler walks by, or to see what predators and fur bearers are roaming about. Trail cameras with infrared night vision LEDs, like the new Bushnell Trophy Cam can also be used for nighttime surveillance to catch possible trespassers or intruders.

Trail camera technology has continued to improve over the years to the point that now there are some great affordable units on the market. The Bushnell Trophy Cam models have a host of great features, while still being highly affordable.

All Trophy Cams feature: Day/Night auto sensor, are external power compatible, shoot VGA video at 16 fps, QVGA video at 20 fps, and have an adjustable PIR(Lo/Medium/High) that is activated out to 45’. With a trigger speed of 1 second, adjustable trigger intervals from 0-60 minutes, multi-image mode with 1-3 images per trigger, and a programmable video length of 1-60 seconds, you’ll be sure to capture all the action. The cameras can also operate at temperatures from -5F-140F.

They use either 4 or 8 AA batteries and will operate up to a year on one set of lithium batteries. Using a 16 GB SD memory card, they are capable of taking thousands of photos on one set of batteries, minimizing the amount of potentially game spooking trips necessary to check the camera.

The new 2010 Trophy Cams have 32 infrared night vision LEDs, resolution settings of 3, 5 or 8 Megapixels, a maximum video resolution of 720×480 and they can record a time and date stamp on photos. The cameras come with an adjustable web belt and ¼ x 20 socket for mounting the camera to a tree. They are also cable lock adaptable.

The three new Trophy Cam models for 2010 include the standard model with black & white text LCD screen at $199.99, the Bone Collector model in RealTree AP HD with a black & white text LCD at $229.99 and the Trophy XLT model with full color LCD view screen at $249.99.

Using a trail camera is a great way to photograph undisturbed wildlife and stay connected to the outdoors, even when you can’t be there. Visit Bushnell for more info: www.bushnell.com

Hunter's Specialties Li'l Deuce Call

Hunter's Specialties

Cedar Rapids, IA – -(AmmoLand.com)- In 2009 Hunter’s Specialties introduced their innovative new Ring Zone® technology to the world of turkey hunting.

The Ring Zone calls were the result of extensive scientific testing about how turkeys hear and how the sound of a hen could be realistically reproduced in a call. The result was the Ring Zone call, a pan call with a ring around it that creates a resonance that faithfully reproduces the sound of a live hen turkey. Sounds produced by the call were the closest to a live hen ever reproduced as measured by an oscilloscope.

Now for 2010, Hunter’s Specialties has used the new technology to produce the Li’l Deuce Ring Zone. The Li’l Deuce resonates at the same, specific frequencies of a turkey’s optimal hearing range. It has been one of Hunter’s Specialties most popular calls over the years and is a favorite of 5-time World Friction Calling Champion and Hunter’s Specialties Pro Staff member Matt Morrett.

• The Li’l Deuce Ring Zone is small and compact enough to fit into a shirt pocket yet has plenty of volume to call birds in from a distance. It has a slightly higher pitch which turkeys can’t resist.
• The Li’l Deuce Ring Zone is available in both glass and slate versions and comes with a carbon striker. It sells for a suggested retail price o f $22.95.

For more information, log onto the Hunter’s Specialties website at www.hunterspec.com, write to 6000 Huntington Court NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52402, or call a Consumer Service Specialist at 319-395-0321.

No bolts here, the stand features all-welded seams for superior strength and construction. The permanently mounted bungee strap keeps the folded stand securely closed during transport, and thanks to the feather-light, all-aluminum construction, the stand weighs only 14 pounds, which makes toting it through the woods a breeze.

Featuring a comfortable one-piece sling seat, which is UV-, moisture-, and scent-resistant and a large 38″L x20″W platform, the M-100 Hang-On Stand is especially designed for all-day hunting.

Champion Eyes & Ears Shooting Protection Goes Ballistic

Blade-Tech Phantom Inside The Waist Band Holster

Blade-Tech Accessories

PUYALLUP, WA --(AmmoLand.com)- With the current economic situation as it is, most Americans are looking to get more bang for their buck. To fit the growing market demand for well priced, high quality goods, Blade-Tech is proud to announce its Phantom Series of Inside the Waist Band (IWB) holsters.

The Phantom Series of holsters were modeled after Blade-Tech’s very popular Nano Series of IWB holsters. Like the Nano, the Phantom’s material is noticeable thin, yet rugged and durable. Due to its thinner profile, the holster reduces weapon printing and helps the gun and holster virtually disappear when worn concealed. As with all Blade-Tech holsters, the Phantom Series is made with a positive locking, level one retention built in.

This gives the wearer the assurance to know that while they participate in everyday activities that their firearm is comfortable secure in their Phantom holster. The design of the holster is streamlined and makes for a swift and smooth draw while concealed.

It comes with two adjustable tension screws that allow the wearer to customize the fit of the firearm in their holster. Unlike so many of the inside the waist band holsters on the market today, the Phantom Series holsters will not collapse after the weapon has been drawn.

Because the holster retains its shape it allows for quick and easy re-holstering. The Phantom Series of IWB holsters from Blade-Tech come standard with a set of durable and adjustable belt snaps. These high quality snaps allow the wear to adjust for both the cant of the holster and for varying belt widths. The Phantom is made to fit the most popular models of the Glock Series of pistols; models 17/22/31, 19/23/32 and 26/27/33. Other makes and models soon to come. Currently these holster are being made in right hand and in stealth black.

The new Phantom Series of holster can be found for sale at blade-tech.com or at your local authorized Blade-Tech dealer. The introductory retail price for the Phantom Series of holsters is only $24.95

Hunter's Specialties

Cedar Rapids, IA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The new Squealing Hen Call from Hunter’s Specialties® reproduces the sound a hen turkey makes during breeding, triggering an internal frenzied response from gobblers to seek and find the source of the sound. This revolutionary call is the first true new innovation in turkey calling in years.

The Squealing Hen call was developed by Hunter’s Specialties Pro Staff member Eddie Salter.

“My family raised turkeys when I was a kid,” said Salter. “Watching the behavior of our pen raised birds helped me learn about turkey vocalizations. I often heard the hen make the squealing sound during breeding, so I started experimenting with calling wild birds using the squeal and had a lot of success. Now turkey hunters have an easy to use call that reproduces that same sound.”

Squealing Hen Turkey Call From Hunter's Specialties

The call is easy to operate. Simply blow into the call while depressing the lever. This puts pressure on the internal Infinity Latex® reed and the authentic high pitched breeding hen sound is produced.

Gobblers are driven to come in and check out the sound, which appeals to both breeding and territorial instincts. The Squealing Hen works great in areas that have seen a lot of hunting pressure, where birds have become extremely wary or conditioned to conventional calls.

The Squealing Hen is field tested and approved by the Hunter’s Specialties Pro Staff team and will make a valuable addition to any turkey hunter’s arsenal of calls this spring.

The Squealing Hen sells for a suggested retail price of $21.99.

For more information, log onto the Hunter’s Specialties website at www.hunterspec.com, write to 6000 Huntington Court NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52402, or call a Consumer Service Specialist at 319-395-0321.

Blade-Tech Leather Gun Belts

Blade-Tech Accessories

PUYALLUP, WA, --(AmmoLand.com)- As a part of Blade-Tech’s push to expand its product offering, it is proud to introduce the Looper Belts Series of U.S. made, Kydex® reinforced premium cow hide leather belts.

Blade-Tech has made a name for itself by making some of the best thermoformed plastic holsters available on the market today. The same high quality material that is used in many of their holsters gives the Looper Belt Series its structure and vertical rigidity. The belts are made not to flex or breakdown under the weight of a weapon worn for concealment or competition.

The seemingly casual looking design of the belt helps with overall concealment of a carry weapon. The Looper Belt Series of quality belts by Blade-Tech are lightweight and are produced in such a way as to eliminate stretching for the life of the belt.

Initially, Blade-Tech will offer the belts in black and a rich chocolate brown. Both belts will have their exterior leather dyed in such a way as to help prevent surface discoloration that can occur from frequent wearing of a holster.

Blade-Tech’s Looper Belt Series of quality reinforced belts will be available for sale on their website: blade-tech.com and will be coming soon to an Authorized Blade-Tech Dealer near you. Current M.S.R.P. Looper Belt Series belts are $44.95 each.

TurboDyne Suppressor for .50 BMG Rifles

AWC Systems Technology

PHOENIX, AZ – -(AmmoLand.com)- When deploying a .50 BMG rifle in any trouble situation, silence is the key to keeping the operator safe and hidden.

The TurboDyne suppressor from AWC Systems Technology was designed to be the most compact, effective and quiet .50 caliber suppressor on the market.

AWC designed the TurboDyne to reduce the bang of the mighty .50 BMG rifles to a mere thump. Constructed out of 100-percent stainless steel and 360-degree circumferentially welded for added strength, the TurboDyne produces less noise than a .22LR. By reducing the concussion associated with firing a .50 BMG, operators are able to shoot comfortably for hours.”

Overall weight and length vary by individual needs and design, but diameter is 2 inches. Standard finishes are matte black and matte stainless steel. The TurboDyne can be fitted to most semi-auto and bolt-action .50-caliber rifles, mounting directly to the current muzzle brake threads without modification to the gun. The suppressor is also available for rifles chambered in .416 caliber.

AWC Systems Technology has provided suppressed weapons systems to the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, major law enforcement agencies nationwide, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Energy, federal and state correctional facilities and Special Forces units in Central America and the Middle East.

Beretta USA

ACCOKEEK, MD --(AmmoLand.com)- The first 2010 issue of Beretta USA’s mail order catalog is now in-home and marks the sixth year the spring catalog has been published.

Ryan Muety, Beretta USA’s Director of Marketing and Consumer Direct, explained that Beretta launched its mail order catalog to provide a new way to promote Beretta-branded apparel and accessories – items related to the hunting and shooting sports. Even though the products offered in the catalog are not firearms, the products offered, like Beretta firearms, reflect the brand’s core characteristics of performance, quality, and innovation.

Beretta Spring 2010 Catalog

This is especially evident in Beretta’s new TEQ (pronounced “tech”) Performance Collection. The collection includes a jacket, vest, pant and short and is made of specially engineered polyester. Beretta developed this technical fabric to keep hunters cool, comfortable and protected during warm weather hunting. Lightweight and breathable, this quick-drying fabric is treated also to repel insects and UV rays. The TEQ Performance Collection is featured in Beretta’s Spring catalog.

The jacket from the TEQ Performance Collection is expected to be a particularly popular item this Spring. It packs easily and wears as comfortably as a softly constructed shirt.

“It’s a great jacket whether you’re hunting, fishing or hiking,” said Rebecca Etchen, Apparel Manager for Beretta USA, “and with its safari-style it also looks great on the street.”

Beretta plans a total of eight catalog issues this year. Each catalog features apparel for men and women, as well as various accessories such as shooting glasses, belts, hats and gloves. The apparel items include classic hunting apparel, apparel for clay shooting sports, as well as a selection of branded merchandise such as polo shirts, mock-turtlenecks, t-shirts and caps. Discounts are also offered on clearance items.

Beretta’s catalogs have been designed to reflect a selection of apparel and accessories most appropriate for the season, so the Spring catalog includes an extensive collection of items geared towards clay shooting sports. Men will also find seasonal casual wear like sweaters, shirts and jeans.

Each issue of the catalog includes a selection of gun accessories such as holsters, optics and choke tubes, as well as various luggage pieces, range bags, and gun and ammunition cases.

All the merchandise in the catalog is also available on line at Beretta’s website (www.berettausa.com). Customers can view a copy of the catalog on line or by calling 1-800-BERETTA.

S4Gear

Junction City, Or --(AmmoLand.com)- What do you do once you complete your exit strategy from a hugely successful outdoor recreation company you founded and brought to a leadership position over the past decade?

You venture out and start another one, of course.

That’s exactly what John Strasheim is doing with S4Gear, now making its debut in the general outdoor market.

New Bushnell Elite 4200 Tactical FFP Scopes

Nikon Hunting

Melville, NY --(AmmoLand.com)- Recognizing the popularity of AR rifles, Nikon has developed a new line of riflescopes built to deliver extreme speed, accuracy and shooting confidence.

The M-223 line offers five new riflescopes, all engineered for the 223 Rem./5.56mm NATO round with 55-grain polymer tipped bullet with a muzzle velocity of 3240fps.

With Nikon’s latest reticle and adjustment technologies, the M-223 integrates the same level of quality as the flagship Monarch riflescopes.

“The recent surge in AR-type rifle purchases means there is a new group of customers out there learning just how much fun owning an AR is,” said Jon LaCorte, senior product marketing manager Nikon Sport Optics.

“We’ve built the M-223 family to help them enjoy and use their rifles no matter if it’s for competition, varmint or predator hunting or just plinking fun.”

All of the new M-223 riflescopes feature Nikon’s famous fully multicoated optics, up to 95% light transmission, waterproof/fogproof/shockproof performance and lifetime warranty.

Designed for AR carbines and popular 3 gun competitions, the 1-4×20 with Point Blank reticle features an extremely large exit pupil for low light performance and a super wide field of view.

The all-new Point Blank reticle technology means incredibly accurate and fast shooting from zero to 200 yards thanks to thick reticle posts and purpose-designed 3-MOA center dot for instant targeting on paper or steel plates.

The 2-8×32 is available with Nikon’s all new BDC 600 reticle or the Nikoplex reticle with Nikon’s new Rapid Action Turret system; both are ballistically matched to the 223 Rem. round and offer unprecedented speed in dialing in your shots for virtually any known distance—from 0 to 600 yards.

The big brother of the M-223 lineup, the 3-12×42 with side focus parallax adjustment lays down a serious power range for your most extreme shooting. For long range shooting speed and precision, this new riflescope helps take full advantage of the performance of the 223 Rem. round—from zero out to 600 yards. Available with Nikon’s new BDC 600 reticle or the Nikoplex reticle with the all-new Rapid Action Turret technology.

Additionally, the 3-12×42 and 2-8×32 come standard with Nikon’s Anti Reflective Device (ARD) to eliminate objective lens glare. MSRP for the M-223 family is $279.95 for the 1-4×20 with Point Blank Reticle, $349.95 for the 2-8×32 with BDC 600 Reticle, $329.95 for the 2-8×32 with Nikoplex reticle, $449.95 for the 3-12×42 with BDC 600 and $429.95 for the 3-12×42 with Nikoplex reticle.

RAP4 Mines and Grenades

Real Action Paintball

San Jose, CA --(AmmoLand.com)- Real Action Paintball is proud to be your partner in battlefield simulation and creative defensive strategies. When you need dirty deeds done in style, you need our full line of compressed air powered simulated mines and booby trap-ready grenades.

These special-purpose tools will eliminate your opponents in altogether new ways that will leave them nervous to get anywhere near your end of the field.

The RAP4 Pressure Activated Landmine is a reusable, compressed air powered, simulated landmine. A player stepping anywhere on the four inch diameter pressure plate will release the onboard charge of compressed air into a powder tray, blowing smoke simulation powder around their legs with a dramatic report. You can recess the mine an inch into the ground so it lies flat, and obscure it with a few leaves, or deploy it hastily in the corner of a bunker where they’re likely to stick their foot.

Want to establish a minefield? The RAP4 Pressure Activated Landmine is available in quantities of one, two, three, five, or save big on a purchase of ten. Pick up RAP4’s Mine Charger with 12gram Adapter for only $24.95, and recharge your mines and grenades up to fifteen times from a single 12gram!

The reusable M80 Landmine comes standard with smoke simulation powder, and optional burst tubes to add a really loud bang when this mine is detonated. Completely safe and paintball-compliant, they are designed to be buried shallow, and then set off with pressure from feet, vehicles, or objects being moved against them (like closing a door or moving an obstacle out of the way). The M80 is available at two price points, by size and features, to exactly meet your needs.

When you need to cover a large area with a single mine, or a series of them, check out RAP4’s M18A1 Claymore Mine. The M18A1 shoots 200 6mm airsoft BBs at a time, covering up to twenty meters upon “detonation”…and a single remote can trigger up to four mines individually.

When you need to rig a tripwire to cover a doorway, detonate a charge when a prop is removed, or otherwise surprise your opponents, look into the RAP4 Hand Grenade.

The RAP4 Hand Grenade is as real as you can get to a pineapple grenade, but completely safe and paintball-compliant. Charge it with the Thunder Grenade charger or the Mine Charger with 12gram Adapter, install the explosion-simulation powder disk, make sure the safety pin is holding the spoon down, and you’re ready to install the grenade in a sneaky location. Run a tripwire from the pin to a permanent anchor, and when it’s pulled, the pin comes out, the spoon flips up, and boom – they’re eliminated. You can adjust two internal pressure screws to make the delay from activation to detonation instantaneous, or several seconds long if you intend to let a room fill with opponents before eliminating them all at once.

RAP4 also carries the Mastermine, a refillable, reusable mine that sprays six ounces of liquid paint over a large section of trail – or a large room – to eliminate anyone who gets marked with even a drop. Rigged with a tripwire, this is a great option for games that require mines to leave a mark on opponents rather than merely simulating an explosion in their vicinity.

Whatever your scenario, RAP4 has a mine, booby trap, and grenade option just ready to be incorporated into your defensive scheme…

…and to keep your opponents guessing every time they reach for a prop.

Real Action Paintball – As Real as it Gets!

About:
RAP4 is recognized as a leader in compressed air-powered marking technology, with patented innovations for military and law enforcement tools and industry-leading paintball sport equipment. Headquartered in San Jose, California, RAP4 has distributors across America and around the world.

RAP4 Mines and Grenades

Medalist

READING, PA --(AmmoLand.com)-  Medalist’s Fall 2010 line with SilverMax technology is the new apparel standard for performance athletes.

From hunters to hikers and long distance runners, demanding experts know that the gear they choose makes an impact on their performance. Medalist apparel is designed to eliminate odor and regulate body temperature, while simultaneously delivering a full range of motion and maximum comfort.

Medalist’s SilverMax technology is created by integrating a 360-degree layer of pure silver fibers into every garment, which makes it the most efficient light-weight, body temperature regulating apparel technology on Earth. Nature’s most adaptive heat-regulating element, pure silver is one of the most reflective and conductive metals available, as well as the world’s most effective antimicrobial, odor-eliminating agent. While other scent elimination technologies lose effectiveness after several washes, the performance of Medalist gear with SilverMax technology does not diminish over time.

As Medalist gear is worn, SilverMax is busy reacting to the body’s temperature, drawing heat away from the skin when it’s hot, and keeping it in when fighting cold climates. Simultaneously, SilverMax quickly moves moisture away, allowing it to evaporate and keeping skin dry. As part of the scent elimination process, denatured proteins are neutralized, and ammonia found in perspiration is rendered completely inactive. The permanent technology is proven to maintain its effectiveness for the life of the garment.

“Medalist gear with SilverMax technology is more than just high-performance outdoor apparel – it’s the new standard.” said David Vogrin, Director of Marketing, Medalist. “Our new brand and 2010 product line reinforce our longstanding commitment to providing demanding experts with the best in active apparel.”

Adding to the effectiveness of Medalist gear is its’ unique layering system. Each layer works to create ideal comfort and performance levels in any condition ― in blizzards and blazing heat. Products available range from lightweight to heavyweight and include crews, tees, windshirts, pants, jackets and fleece vests.

Medalist’s new Hunt and Outdoor product lines will be available in Fall 2010.

About MEDALIST
MEDALIST is a leading producer of high performance technical apparel featuring SilverMax technology. Their engineered products provide innovative solutions that enhance performance and comfort in all conditions for a wide range of consumers in the Hunt, Outdoor, Athletic, and Tactical markets. Today, world-class athletes, hunters, outdoor enthusiasts and NASA astronauts wear MEDALIST products.

Safariland.com

JACKSONVILLE, Florida –-(AmmoLand.com)- Safariland, a BAE Systems line of business, announced today that it has released another armor model that satisfies the requirements of the National Institute of Justice’s (NIJ) new Voluntary Body Armor Compliance Testing Program under NIJ Standard-0101.06 (NIJ-06).

The release of the MN01 Type IIA introduces the Monarch Series as part of the Second Chance brand. The MN01, tested against the .9mm & .40 cal. threats, is an affordable solution that provides comfort and performance within a Type IIA vest.

Safariland Ballistic Armor Solutions

The MN01 is a hybrid design of multiple types of ballistic-resistant material, accented by Curv® technology and high performance Honeywell® ballistic material. Safariland’s application of Curv® technology along the sternum, spinal cord and lower torso in the armor design helps provide increased blunt trauma protection, while Honeywell’s Gold Shield® is a shielded aramid that increases ballistic performance, along with improved chemical, environmental and water resistance.

The NIJ introduced the Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor NIJ Standard-0101.06 to establish minimum performance requirements and test methods for the ballistic resistance of personal body armor in order to improve performance so that officers receive adequate protection against those threats likely faced over the next decade. According to the new NIJ-06 standard, body armor must now be able to defend against increased velocities of ammunition calibers to better reflect current street threats and law enforcement duty weapons. These new performance requirements are critical components to improving the life-protecting equipment being used by law enforcement.

All Safariland armor models are certified using NIJ approved size templates C1 and C5, which allow for production of the widest range of sizes. Safariland’s body armor models combine the heritage and expertise of American Body Armor®, Second Chance®, SAVVY® and PROTECH®. In doing so, Safariland offers the most comprehensive line of body armor available in the industry.
