Century Arms a.k.a. Century International Arms Inc. is offering a modernized tactical AK-type rifle/carbine (i.e. tactical Kalashnikov-type rifle/carbine) that’s made in the USA. An Mil-Std-1913 rail system (M1913 rail system) is available as an option. We don’t yet know who is manufacturing/supplying this accessory/component. There are two versions of the rifle, one with an M4/M4A1 Carbine-style telescoping stock, the other with a Galil-style side-folding stock. The photo we’ve seen of the rifle shows the M4/M4A1-style stock version with a Galil-style handguard/foregrip. Caliber is 7.62×39mm.

Unlike RF and Bluetooth transmissions, the FreeMotion 200 tactical headset creates a secure communications "bubble" (a.k.a. secure comms "bubble") around the user that allows for a secure, interference-free two-way tactical communications link between the earpiece/headset and FreeLinc remote adapter (attached to the body-worn tactical radio) that blocks interception and interference.

The good folks at Television Equipment Associates, Inc. (TEA) (SWATHeadsets.com) are now marketing the Modular “Cobra” Boom-Arm Tactical Headset System a.k.a. “Modular Cobra System”.

It’s designed to be either head-worn or helmet-worn and to hold up under adverse military combat conditions, so it must be highly durable, as well.
Based on the information DefenseReview has so far on the unit, the Cobra Boom-Arm Headset appears to be ideally suited for…
