Weapons Stuff:  The Daniel Defense Omega Rail 7.0

By Head Jundi

 April 07, 2008   

     Well, I have to tell you, I like this product. I do not own this product, but it definitely has grabbed my attention. This meets a couple of the prerequisites I have for contracting equipment and weapons stuff. And that is lightweight, simple to use, and tough as nails. I am excited about this product, and here are a few of the highlights.

     First, it is a free-floating rail, that requires no modification of your weapon. That is great for contracting, because if you are issued a weapon from your company, they often frown on you making any permanent changes to it. Like cutting off and/or removing the delta ring, in-case you want to add a free floating rail system.

     The free-floating rail aspect of this, is great, and it sounds pretty solid from the various reviews I have read. Anything to take any kind of pressure off of a barrel, is great, and only helps for accuracy beyond the typical ranges. I also like rails, because invariably, you need to attach stuff to your weapon. (lights, fore-grips, etc.) Although, my rule of thumb is always to keep stuff streamlined and clean, but have the ability to add stuff if the mission requires. (more…)

Private security takes to the sea

With violent maritime piracy and the risk of waterborne terrorism on the
rise, states and non-state actors turn to private security, Patrick Cullen
writes for ISN Security Watch.

By Patrick Cullen in New York for ISN Security Watch (04/04/08)

Piracy, once generally perceived to have been eliminated as a security
threat, has re-emerged as a significant problem for state and non-state
actors alike. Though the number of pirate attacks had waned during the last
few years, new International Maritime Bureau statistics have shown that
piracy is again on the upswing worldwide. This upsurge in piracy – and the
market created for countering this threat – can be conceptualized along
three distinct lines.
