PMCI - March - 2020

PMCI: Where do you see 0241 Tactical evolving in the
future?
0241: Slow growth and hire our military veterans.
0241Tactical started while I was serving in the Marine
Corps. The United States has the Department of Veterans
Affairs that seeks to help those veterans who’ve served
with educational, job placement, and medical assistance. My
wife (an Air Force veteran) works with a local government
department to help our veterans navigate the government
bureaucracy and get the assistance their entitled to. Along
those lines, I wanted to be in a position to help other
veterans by providing jobs for them. However this isn’t a
charity case. I see their service as valuable experience that
provides amazing insight into a market they’re very familiar
with. Our first full-time sewing guru, Kyle, is a prior Army
Parachute Rigger who learned sewing machines during his
service. The military teaches attention to detail and he’s
marked by exactness and accuracy of workmanship. He’s
been an amazing addition to 0241Tactical. That being said
we want to grow 0241Tactical, with veterans like Kyle, to
become a tactical sew shop in America. We want to produce
our own brand items but offer a US based production service
for other companies looking to production here in the USA.
PMCI: When I saw you at SHOT you told me that you’d
signed up with KWA for their 6mm Training gas products;
you mentioned them earlier, so how do you see this
going forward?
0241: When I was stationed in the United Kingdom I became
friends with the guys at Free Fire Zone / Fire Support and
started hanging out at their fields near Peterborough, and
as a result got a ton of experience with Airsoft Electric Guns
(AEGs). My perspective is that airsoft is an incredibly fun
sport that motivates people to get off the couch and get
moving. The problem I saw with airsoft was that when you
can carry nearly unlimited ammo it diminished the realism
of force on force training and often turned games into a
frenzy of BBs flying everywhere!
This year at Shot Show I saw the KWA booth and saw that
KWA has really begun to market towards law enforcement
and the military with their Professional Training Rifles and
Pistols. Elements of authenticity have been reintroduced
by limiting magazine capacity, including recoil, but most
importantly the operation function of the training systems
mimic the real function of actual firearms.
This means muscle memory learned in a training
environment will translate to real world situations.
With increased government scrutiny on spending, KWA
provides significant cost savings but this is overshadowed
by the risk mitigation training with 6mm BBs offers instead
of shooting live ammunition. As 0241Tactical expands
we are looking to provide law enforcement, military, and
private citizens with the tools to enhance their own shooting
techniques. If the relationship with KWA USA bears fruit,
we’ll expand with other brands that can offer similar training
systems.
