Snakestaff Systems has announced the release of the Universal Snakeskin, a do-it-all tourniquet carrier designed to provide a versatile mounting solution across a broad range of professional, recreational, industrial, and everyday applications. Developed for compatibility with both the Snakestaff ETQ™ and ETQ Wide™, the Universal Snakeskin addresses a longstanding challenge: securely mounting a tourniquet where immediate access makes the most sense. While traditional mounting solutions have largely been limited to tactical equipment or purpose-built platforms, many everyday environments—including vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles, heavy equipment, work gear, and recreational equipment—have lacked a practical, secure means of carrying hemorrhage control equipment. The Universal…

Shell Shock Technologies has expanded its NAS3 case lineup with a .50 BMG Hybrid Case, designed for military, law enforcement and extreme long-range shooters. The design pairs a nickel/stainless-steel base with an aerospace-grade aluminum body, reducing weight by approximately 40 percent compared to conventional brass while increasing internal case capacity. Independent testing demonstrated muzzle velocities of up to 3,111 fps with a 650-grain projectile at standard operating pressures. The corrosion-resistant construction also promotes reliable extraction and faster cooling during sustained firing. Production is under way, with the .50 BMG NAS3 case expected to be available in August 2026. MSRP: NA.…

Thanks to the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill that was passed by the U.S. Congress last summer that removed the $200 tax from suppressors and other National Firearms Act (NFA) items, 2026 is turning into the “year of the suppressor.” It seems that many gun owners who were on the fence about whether to buy a suppressor saw the $200 savings as a good reason to start owning one, even though the NFA paperwork and registration requirements remain in place.In fact, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the ATF processed about 150,000 online applications on January 1 alone,…

Earlier this week the Government of Canada launched the Defence Drone Initiative (DDI) to accelerate the development, testing, adaptation, and production of uncrewed and autonomous systems for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG). Led collaboratively by the Department of National Defence and the Defence Investment Agency (DIA), the initiative will establish a competitive supply arrangement that connects operational requirements with Canadian innovation and creates a more agile pathway to develop, acquire and integrate these technologies. Recent conflicts have shown that drone technology evolves rapidly. Canada has world-class expertise across aerospace, robotics, artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing,…

The industry is at a crossroads, in more ways than one.The obvious one is what preoccupies everyone at the moment. The industry has slowed. NICS checks remain high by historical standards, but the consistent growth the industry worked to match during the Obama years has been replaced by at best a plateau, excepting the COVID spike, and at worst, a downtrend. The information from NASGW, covering other categories like ammo and optics, shows a similar trend in recent years.Those of us in the industry feel what the numbers are telling us. The future is uncertain. The inevitable march of time…

East Sussex, UK (July 29, 2026) — For today’s hunters and shooters, documenting the experience has become nearly as important as the hunt itself. Whether recording a successful stalk, filming long-range shots for training, capturing trophy photos, or creating social media content, keeping both hands free while maintaining a steady camera angle can be challenging. Spartan Precision Equipment has solved that problem with its new Phone Holder, an innovative accessory engineered specifically for use with Spartan Davros Heads and Ascent tripods. Designed to provide a stable, hands-free platform for virtually any smartphone, the Phone Holder enables hunters, guides, competitive shooters, and…
