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.

Clearly, these products have had some serious testing before<br />

they are made available, with the end user in most cases being<br />

military, who’s lives could depend on their ability to use any piece<br />

of equipment fluently and without any compromise or failure in<br />

the process of dealing with some of the most bad-ass bad guys<br />

in the world.<br />

The range of products is simply massive, so to give you some<br />

idea I have selected some of the more frequently used pieces to<br />

give you a general overview which should give you a fair and<br />

balanced perspective of what BGT has to offer but of course, like<br />

all retail products, I would urge you to drop in on their website for<br />

a better insight across the whole range.<br />

BULLDOG ELITE ECU2 COMBAT TROUSERS<br />

These super comfortable trousers offer the perfect balance<br />

knee pads, removable for when being washed and designed and<br />

built to a modern tactical layout with 4 pockets on the back and 2<br />

smaller ones on the front. The following specifications should give<br />

you some idea what you can expect:<br />

• Made from a lightweight yet durable rip-stop 65/35 poly cotton blend.<br />

• Pre-washed to avoid shrinking and fading (recommended wash at 0°)<br />

• Available in MTC Camo, Black, Olive Green or Coyote Tan<br />

sewn on to a neoprene base to provide high levels of comfort.<br />

height that the knee pads sit at for a custom fit.<br />

clear to see that these are made for professional use as they<br />

offer all the features and benefits of their rivals but at a fraction<br />

of the cost. Based on Bulldog’s original ECU Trousers but with<br />

a whole load of improvements, they are designed to provide<br />

a fast action combat trouser for tactical use by Military and<br />

certain Law Enforcement Units.<br />

BULLDOG COBRA TACTICAL RIGGERS BELT, 1.75”<br />

This 1.75” tactical belt is designed for Special Forces & Military<br />

use. Made using mil-spec nylon webbing it is ultra-lightweight<br />

yet highly durable. The new Cobra style buckle makes removing<br />

or putting on the belt a 2-second job, eliminating the need<br />

to constantly undo the Velcro and buckle. Simply use your<br />

forefinger and thumb to quickly release the buckle with the aid<br />

of two buttons; the green circle indicator confirms when the<br />

buckle is fully inserted and ready to go.<br />

The Tactical Riggers Belt provides the ultimate in stability<br />

and will not lose tension even with heavy loads. With the<br />

double tension offered by the buckle and additional Velcro you<br />

can rest assured that it will not budge.<br />
