By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com August 31, 2023 Last updated on 9/03/23 with 4K videos (embedded).

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com June 19, 2023 We almost forgot about this one. FN didn’t just introduce a whole bunch of new combat/tactical pistols and rifle/carbines (see “Related Articles” section below). Oh, no.

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com April 30, 2023 Speaking of FN Herstal/FN America (FNA) products, DefenseReview really likes this one. It’s called the Lightweight Intermediate Caliber Cartridge Individual Weapon System (LICC IWS), and it’s a very interesting suppressed tactical AR-type combat/tactical carbine that utilizes a special 6.5x43mm/.264 (originally called the “.264 USA) round cartridge that was initially …

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com March 24, 2023 Billed as the ” pinnacle of remote switch design for weapon-mounted accessories”, the new Unity Tactical AXON remote dual and single switch system provides “complete control of lights and lasers in a single, compact and rugged housing”, and they probably do it better than anything else out there.
