PMCI - May 2016
Welcome to the May 2016 Issue of PMCI - the only magazine dedicated to the PMC sector. In this issue we take a look at "SimGun", which brings training close to reality but without the risks. We also speak to EUSECA UK about how to deal with the dreaded "active shooter" scenario. Kit-wise, we get together with Helikon-Tex to check out their latest products and meet British brand "Bulldog" to take a look at their "bomber tough" tactical gear. We also get our hands on some stunning new helmet models from Armorsource and PMCI Editor, Bill, brings us his take on the tactical area at the 2016 IWA show in Nuremberg. Not forgetting firearms, we see what happens when you take a well-known handgun and add some custom parts, while our two "tame" contractors discuss how they prepare their primary when they get in-country. We also welcome new contributor "Chalky" White to PMCI, as he gives us some tips on how to get the very best from your contract-issued AK.

TRAINING: ACTIVE SHOOTER<br />
3. Hide yourself if evacuation is not possible<br />
If you can’t evac then find yourself a place where the active<br />
shooter is less likely to find you. The best idea would be to<br />
find a room which is lockable from the inside, but if it’s not try<br />
to place a heavy furniture against the door and lock it in any<br />
unconventional method you can only find at the time. Active<br />
shooters don’t want to spend lots of time trying to get into<br />
locked rooms; they are looking for a crowd, easily accessible<br />
places where they can shoot as many innocent people as<br />
possible. If you are trapped inside the room without possibility<br />
of moving out you should make sure that you turn off the lights<br />
and any electronic devices that create noise. Mute your phone<br />
as the last thing you want is your phone started to ring when<br />
the active shooter is nearby and you have taken all the steps<br />
to hide yourself. Make sure if possible you hide yourself behind<br />
large furniture if available. Try to call 999/911 if possible and<br />
do it only if this won’t compromise your position.<br />
4. Fight<br />
This should be a last resort if any of the above is not possible.<br />
Remember you are unarmed and active shooter probably<br />
has semi-auto assault rifle and sometimes even a back-up<br />
pistol. On the workshop we were talking about what we can do<br />
against a person armed with a rifle and willing to kill as many<br />
people as possible in a short period of time. The best option you<br />
can take to have the best chances of winning in this situation<br />
is to work in a team if possible. If you are locked or trapped in<br />
