MILIPOL 2017: FN HERSTAL TO UNVEIL FN 509 PISTOL FOR SECURITY FORCES
At Milipol Paris 2017 on booth #L110, 21-24 November, FN Herstal will unveil its new specially designed full-size FN 509 (9x19mm) Striker pistol for security forces.
Based on user feedback, FN Herstal says it has created a handgun offering a new level of durability, reliability and ergonomic design. The FN 509’s slide and grip feature highly effective non-slip surfaces; magazine catch, slide release and safety catch, which are fully ambidextrous, and include interchangeable backstraps adapted to all hand sizes.
At 188mm (7.4in) and approx. 753g (1.66lbs) with a barrel length of 101.6mm (4in), the FN 509 is comfortable to shoot, reliable, and accurate, having a fixed 3-dot luminescent sight that provides fast target acquisition even in low light conditions. The FN 509 also features a tactile and visible loaded chamber indicator and a 17-round capacity magazine (bring the weight to 957g/2.10 bs) allowing for visual instant ammo check.

MILIPOL 2017: IWI BRINGS NEW FIREPOWER
At MILIPOL 2017, Israel Weapon Industries (IWI), an SK Group member and a leader in the production of combat-proven small arms for law enforcement agencies, governments, and armies around the world, launches its new IWI TAVOR 7 in 7.62X51mm calibre, alongside the MASADA line of Striker-based pistols for military, law enforcement, and civilian markets.
The company is awaiting customers for both products, but expects acquisitions from law enforcement and armed forces, and confidential sources informed MONS that it is expecting to see a demand from the US civilian market for both weapons.
TAVOR-7 evolves from IWI’sTAVOR family of rifles and takes the firm’s 5.56mm weapon as its baseline. Company officials told MONS that the weapon includes a new short stroke gas system and includes a silencer mode which enables the weapon to be fired without the sound of the bolt returning. Its ambidextrous design also enables the weapon to change from a right-handed to left-handed configuration, and vice versa, with a single tool in around 15 seconds.
“We are pleased to expand the TAVOR family – the world’s most popular battle-proven bullpup rifles – with the new addition of a 7.62X51mm calibre weapon, based on requests from our customers,” Shlomi Sabag, IWI’s CEO, said. “The IWI TAVOR 7 enables users from the military and law enforcement markets to operate in a wide variety of scenarios at short and medium range with enhanced firepower – efficiently, safely and easily, with only minimal maintenance. Based on what we have already heard from the field, we expect the IWI TAVOR 7 to become a leader in its category. The weapon will be available from the first quarter of 2018.”
The TAVOR 7 is a fully ambidextrous platform on which the ejection side and the charging handle can be switched quickly and easily from side to side by the user. Ambidextrous features include: safety lever, magazine release, and bolt catch similar to the X95. The IWI TAVOR 7 also includes an M-LOK fore-end (2 M-LOK slots at 3 and 9 o'clock) as well as MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail at the 6 o'clock position, to allow the use of multiple devices and accessories. The rifle’s body is built from high-strength, impact-modified polymer, and has a hammer-forged, chrome-lined, free-floating barrel for enhanced accuracy and life cycle. Additional features include a short stroke gas piston with a 4-position variable gas regulator, (including an OFF position – a unique feature designed for special operation needs), a rotating bolt system that ensures maximum safety for the user, and a pistol grip that can be changed or modified.
The IWI TAVOR 7 enables 100% interchangeability, reducing maintenance costs. It is available in four colors: Sniper Gray, OD Green, Black, and Flat Dark Earth, with replaceable barrels available in two lengths – 17in (432mm) and 20in (508mm) – for various uses. The rifle has an overall length of 28.4in (723mm) and a weight without a magazine of 9lbs (4.1 kilogrammes).
The IWI TAVOR family of assault rifles is a line of versatile, innovative, and technologically advanced weapons. TAVORs have been extensively proven on the battlefield, performing with precision and reliability, and meeting the needs of human ergonomics. The TAVOR family was developed in close cooperation with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), based on lessons learned from actual combat situations. Complying with the most stringent NATO standards for small arms – including environmental standards and harsh conditions – the TAVOR is in service in the IDF Infantry and Special Forces as well as in other countries throughout the world. It has a compact bullpup configuration, a barrel length and weapon size that cover all soldiers’ fighting ranges – from 500m to indoor operations, fighting from vehicles and in urban areas. Among its additional features, the TAVOR's body is made of strong, modern composite materials, and its metal parts are corrosion-resistant. It can be comfortably used by either left or right-handed shooters.

Also new is IWI's TAVOR 7 7.62mm/.308 Winchester calibre semiautomatic bullpup rifle. The TAVOR 7 hybridises features of both the TAR-21 and the Micro TAVOR/X95, as well as incorporating some brand new features like a toolless ejection port switching procedure and front MLOK slots on the TAVOR-like handguard. Unlike the original TAVOR, the TAVOR 7’s ejection swapping procedure is very quick and simple. To complete the procedure, it is also necessary to remove the bolt and rotate about its axis, then replace it. The charging handle can also be swapped right to left via an even simpler process using just a bullet tip, without weapon disassembly.
Where the TAVOR family has previously used a Desert Eagle-style bolt profile with non-axisymmetrical lugs, the TAVOR 7 utilises a Stoner-type bolt, similar to an AR-15 or AR-10. The semiautomatic rifle clocks in at a very modest 8.6lbs, which is scarcely heavier than the original TAVOR itself, despite being designed for a much larger calibre, and sporting a substantially stronger barrel. The TAVOR 7 takes SR-25 magazines.

Meanwhile, MASADA has an innovative design which includes a number of safety features such as a fail-safe mechanism which prevents dismantling the weapons’ slide without removing the pistol’s magazine. Its internal chassis is constructed from a single block, and the pistol has a reinforced polymer construction.
The first model, the full size 9X19mm MASADA, was debuted at Defense & Security Bangkok, Thailand.
"We are proud to launch this new line of pistols – the MASADA – following a development process that took several years, based on requests from our customers," Mr. Sabag proudly told MT. "The new Striker-based line places special emphasis on operational safety and simplicity of maintenance, as well as a high level of ergonomics and ease of use. The pistol will be available to our customers from Q1/18."
MASADA has several advanced safety mechanisms including a firing pin block safety, a clean and crisp trigger reset with a built-in trigger safety, and a fast, easy and safe takedown – with no need to pull the trigger. The pistol can be provided with or without manual safety. It has an easy racked slide with improved front and rear cocking serrations, enhanced ergonomics with the IWI grip angle and a low barrel axis for reduced recoil. The body has a glass-reinforced polymer frame as well as a polygonal cold hammer forged barrel with a 1:10RH twist rate.

Additional features include fully ambidextrous operating controls and fixed 3-dot tritium illuminated Meprolight (another SK Group member), who in turn are unveiling four new sights at Milipol. For stories see here, here, here and here.
MASADA offers 100% interchangeability with a compatible trigger mechanism housing, reducing maintenance and life cycle costs. The pistol has an overall length of 6.6in (186.4mm) with a barrel length of 4.1in (104mm), and with a trigger pull weighing 5.5-7.0lbs (2.5-3.175kg), and a weight without the magazine of 22.9 ounces (650 g). The MASADA will be available in four colors: Sniper Gray, OD Green, Black, and Flat Dark Earth.

MILIPOL 2017: AIMPOINT'S MAGNIFIER LINES
In January 2017, Aimpoint added three new accessory magnifiers to their product line, designed to work in conjunction with the company’s electronic reflex sights, Aimpoint 3XC-1 as a standard grade for use by civilian and Law Enforcement shooters, Aimpoint 3XMag-1 and Aimpoint 6XMag-1 as the higher grade products used in the tougher environments. The magnifiers may be used with the company’s quickdetachTwistMount, or with the newly launched Aimpoint FlipMount which allows the magnifier to be quickly flipped in or out of the optical axis, or removed from the firearm completely.
”These magnifiers open up some interesting new opportunities for users of Aimpoint sights,” says Erik Jeppsson, Director Marketing & Sales- Professional Segment at Aimpoint. ”We now offer a new 3X-C magnifier at a lower entry price level, and a more advanced 3XMag-1 magnifier for demandingapplications. And upon request from our customers we also offer a 6XMag-1 magnifier for even longer range shooting which should only be used in combination with Aimpoint Micro T-2 sight as this model has been optimised to be used with higher magnification.”
The Aimpoint 3X-C that was developed for both the civilian end user and law enforcement, can be used in conjunction with all Aimpoint sights for long-range aiming or observation. A variable (-2 to +2) dioptric setting allows this magnifier to be adapted to the individual shooter’s eye. The 3X-C can also be used as a handheld 3X monocular. Aimpoint magnifiers utilise the red dot in Aimpoint sights as the aiming reticle, eliminating the need for re-zeroing when shifting between non-magnified and magnified aiming. The 3X-C is encased in a shock absorbing protective rubber cover that also creates an ideal ergonomic grip. Internal optical adjustments make aligning the magnifier and sight quick and easy. The sight features 3x magnification with a field of view (FOV) of 7 degrees, being 103mm (4.1in) long at 220g (7.8oz) including the rubber cover.
The Aimpoint 3XMag-1 was developed for the professional user that needs a more rugged and military standard proven product. It can be used in conjunction with all Aimpoint sights for long-range aiming or observation. A variable (-3 to +3) dioptric setting allows this magnifier to be adapted to the individual operator’s eye. The 3XMag-1 can also be used as a handheld 3X monocular. Aimpoint magnifiers utilise the red dot in Aimpoint sights as the aiming reticle, eliminating the need for re-zeroing when shifting between non-magnified and magnified aiming. The 3XMag-1 is encased in a shock absorbing protective rubber cover that also creates an ideal ergonomic grip. Internal optical adjustments make aligning the magnifier and sight quick and easy. The sight features 3x magnification with a 7 degrees FOV, being 117mm (4.6in) long at 230g (8.1oz) including the rubber cover.
The Aimpoint 6XMag-1 was specifically designed for use with Aimpoint MICRO T-2 and was developed for the professional user that needs a more rugged and military standard proven product. This module gives professional users enhanced capability for long-range aiming and observation. A variable (-3 to +3) dioptric setting allows the magnifier to be adapted to the individual operator’s eye. The 6XMag-1 can also be used as a handheld 6X monocular. Aimpoint magnifiers utilise the red dot in Aimpoint sights as the aiming reticle, eliminating the need for re-zeroing when shifting between non-magnified and magnified aiming. The 6XMag-1 is encased in a shock absorbing protective rubber cover that also creates an ideal ergonomic grip. Internal optical adjustments make aligning the magnifier and sight quick and easy. The sight features 6x magnification with a 3 degrees FOV, being 151mm (6.0in) long at 250g (8.8oz) including the rubber cover.
The Aimpoint FlipMount is a quick attach / detach mount that can be quickly flipped in or out of the optical axis. The FlipMount is designed primarily for use with Aimpoint magnifiers, but can also be used to mount other optical equipment with a 30mm tube. The FlipMount is offered in two different heights (38.5mm/1.5in at 114g/4.0oz and 47.5mm/1.9in at 129g/4.6oz), being 40mm (1.6in) long and 54.5mm (2.1in) wide, to accommodate various sight mounts.
The Aimpoint TwistMount is a quick attach/detach mount designed primarily for use with the Aimpoint magnifiers and Concealed Engagement Units (CEU). The TwistMount fits any Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny Rail and can also be used for other optical equipment with a 30 mm tube. With a total height of 48mm (1.9in) over rail using an optional AR15 spacer, being 40mm (1.6in) long and 48mm (1.9in) wide at 110g (3.8oz), this mount does not offer flip capability – the magnifier is removed from the firearm when not in use.

MEPROLIGHT INTRODUCES NEW MEPRO MX3-T
Having alread announced the new MEPRO MOR Reflex Sight with Green Laser Pointer (article) and a new version of the MEPRO M5 Red Dot Sight (article), Meprolight will furthermore present a new version of the MEPRO MX3-T magnifying scope at MILIPOL 2017, 21-24 November on stand #G-025. It features a new adapter that enables quick switching between short and long distances, for rapid target acquisition.
The MEPRO MX3-T is a compact, lightweight, and rugged magnifying scope with a wide Field of View, designed to accurately and economically improve the shooter’s performance. This new scope has 3x magnification to enhance the precision, range and effectiveness of reflex sights, such as MEPRO 21 and MEPRO MOR, by extending the shooting range without re-zeroing the sights.
According to Benny Kokia, Meprolight's Vice President Marketing and Sales, the company, “developed the new adapter as a result of our close collaboration with Special Forces units both in Israel and overseas. The MEPRO MX3-T is equipped with a unique pull back mechanism that surpasses those of any other tactical solution available in the market. The MX3-T enables swift target acquisition, significantly improving results in the field.”
The MEPRO MX3-T attaches to any MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail, behind a reflex sight, and features a quick release adapter. The adapter has a low weight, quick pull back mechanism. When not in use, it is folded over to the right side and can be easily flipped back into place when the shooter needs to engage targets at longer distances. It is simple to attach, doesn’t interfere with firing, and is MIL-STD-810 qualified.

MILIPOL 2017: AIMPOINT'S MAGNIFIER LINES
In January 2017, Aimpoint added three new accessory magnifiers to their product line, designed to work in conjunction with the company’s electronic reflex sights, Aimpoint 3XC-1 as a standard grade for use by civilian and Law Enforcement shooters, Aimpoint 3XMag-1 and Aimpoint 6XMag-1 as the higher grade products used in the tougher environments. The magnifiers may be used with the company’s quickdetachTwistMount, or with the newly launched Aimpoint FlipMount which allows the magnifier to be quickly flipped in or out of the optical axis, or removed from the firearm completely.
”These magnifiers open up some interesting new opportunities for users of Aimpoint sights,” says Erik Jeppsson, Director Marketing & Sales- Professional Segment at Aimpoint. ”We now offer a new 3X-C magnifier at a lower entry price level, and a more advanced 3XMag-1 magnifier for demandingapplications. And upon request from our customers we also offer a 6XMag-1 magnifier for even longer range shooting which should only be used in combination with Aimpoint Micro T-2 sight as this model has been optimised to be used with higher magnification.”
The Aimpoint 3X-C that was developed for both the civilian end user and law enforcement, can be used in conjunction with all Aimpoint sights for long-range aiming or observation. A variable (-2 to +2) dioptric setting allows this magnifier to be adapted to the individual shooter’s eye. The 3X-C can also be used as a handheld 3X monocular. Aimpoint magnifiers utilise the red dot in Aimpoint sights as the aiming reticle, eliminating the need for re-zeroing when shifting between non-magnified and magnified aiming. The 3X-C is encased in a shock absorbing protective rubber cover that also creates an ideal ergonomic grip. Internal optical adjustments make aligning the magnifier and sight quick and easy. The sight features 3x magnification with a field of view (FOV) of 7 degrees, being 103mm (4.1in) long at 220g (7.8oz) including the rubber cover.
The Aimpoint 3XMag-1 was developed for the professional user that needs a more rugged and military standard proven product. It can be used in conjunction with all Aimpoint sights for long-range aiming or observation. A variable (-3 to +3) dioptric setting allows this magnifier to be adapted to the individual operator’s eye. The 3XMag-1 can also be used as a handheld 3X monocular. Aimpoint magnifiers utilise the red dot in Aimpoint sights as the aiming reticle, eliminating the need for re-zeroing when shifting between non-magnified and magnified aiming. The 3XMag-1 is encased in a shock absorbing protective rubber cover that also creates an ideal ergonomic grip. Internal optical adjustments make aligning the magnifier and sight quick and easy. The sight features 3x magnification with a 7 degrees FOV, being 117mm (4.6in) long at 230g (8.1oz) including the rubber cover.
The Aimpoint 6XMag-1 was specifically designed for use with Aimpoint MICRO T-2 and was developed for the professional user that needs a more rugged and military standard proven product. This module gives professional users enhanced capability for long-range aiming and observation. A variable (-3 to +3) dioptric setting allows the magnifier to be adapted to the individual operator’s eye. The 6XMag-1 can also be used as a handheld 6X monocular. Aimpoint magnifiers utilise the red dot in Aimpoint sights as the aiming reticle, eliminating the need for re-zeroing when shifting between non-magnified and magnified aiming. The 6XMag-1 is encased in a shock absorbing protective rubber cover that also creates an ideal ergonomic grip. Internal optical adjustments make aligning the magnifier and sight quick and easy. The sight features 6x magnification with a 3 degrees FOV, being 151mm (6.0in) long at 250g (8.8oz) including the rubber cover.
The Aimpoint FlipMount is a quick attach / detach mount that can be quickly flipped in or out of the optical axis. The FlipMount is designed primarily for use with Aimpoint magnifiers, but can also be used to mount other optical equipment with a 30mm tube. The FlipMount is offered in two different heights (38.5mm/1.5in at 114g/4.0oz and 47.5mm/1.9in at 129g/4.6oz), being 40mm (1.6in) long and 54.5mm (2.1in) wide, to accommodate various sight mounts.
The Aimpoint TwistMount is a quick attach/detach mount designed primarily for use with the Aimpoint magnifiers and Concealed Engagement Units (CEU). The TwistMount fits any Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny Rail and can also be used for other optical equipment with a 30 mm tube. With a total height of 48mm (1.9in) over rail using an optional AR15 spacer, being 40mm (1.6in) long and 48mm (1.9in) wide at 110g (3.8oz), this mount does not offer flip capability – the magnifier is removed from the firearm when not in use.

SECURITY
MILIPOL 2017: VEHICLES, PYROS & LASERS
Rheinmetall is presenting a selection of its extensive array of law enforcement and security products at Milipol 2017.
Developed in cooperation with special vehicle maker Achleitner, Rheinmetall’s SURVIVOR is extremely well suited for police special operations. In Germany, state-level police forces in Berlin and Saxony have already opted to equip their SWAT teams with the SURVIVOR R. Based on a high-performance 4x4 MAN truck chassis, the SURVIVOR R is fitted with a steel armour cab. Capable of reaching speeds of over 100 km/h, the vehicle combines tried-and-tested automotive technology from major production runs with the latest force protection concepts from Rheinmetall. For the first time ever, Rheinmetall is showcasing the vehicle in Paris with an integrated QIMEK weapon station.
Rheinmetall furthermore offers a comprehensive array of pyrotechnic products. When it comes to SWAT team-type operations, the group’s portfolio of multi-bang grenades and improved-performance flash-bang grenades with bottom-top venting (BTV) technology offers the perfect solution. They are extremely safe to handle, highly precise and very reliable. Rheinmetall has developed a wide assortment of flares for signalling and for illuminating the area of operations at night. These include the handheld Mithras, with ranges of 300, 600 and 1,000 metres, with versions available for the visible and infrared sector.
Rheinmetall has recently added two more modular components to its VarioRay family of laser light modules. The VarioRay LowProfile laser module and the separate LUMENATOR weapon lamp with 500-lumen illumination power provide the user with even greater tactical flexibility – despite their extremely small dimensions. The new products are key components for boosting the operational effectiveness of modern small arms. Moreover, visitors to the Rheinmetall stand at MILIPOL 2017 can learn about other members of the VarioRay family as well as the Group’s MultiRay MR 500 and MR 800 fire control aiming devices. Also on display is the TAC-Ray 1500 sniper build-on module with integrated ballistic computer.
