O companie relativ nouă de ochelari de soare, numită Gatorz Eyewear, are un model foarte interesant din aluminiu ANSI Z87 + balistică cu balamale (modelul „flagship” de protecție a ochilor numit Magnum Z și este destul de impresionant în căutarea pe mai multe nivele. din aluminiu și cu o formă elegantă și imbracată în față. Și, în al doilea rând, se pare că va fi un adevărat interpret, atât în ceea ce privește protecția balistică, cât și durabilitatea / rezistența la luptă.
Gatorz Eyewear Magnum Z Aluminum-Framed ANSI Z87+ Ballistic Eyepro: Rugged Combat/Tactical Sunglasses for Military Special Operations Forces (SOF) Missions! (Video!)
A relatively new sunglass company called Gatorz Eyewear has a very interesting aluminum-framed ANSI Z87+ ballistic eyepro (eye protection “flagship” model called the Magnum Z, and it’s pretty impressive looking on multiple levels. First, the Magnum Z is aesthetically pleasing with it’s aluminum frame and sleek, face-hugging shape. And, second, it looks like it’s going to be a real performer, both in terms of ballistic protection and combat durability/ruggedness.
DefenseReview (DR) first came across Gatorz Eyewear Magnum Z at the First Tactical (clothing) booth at Industry Day at the Range, right before SHOT Show 2018, since one of their guys was wearing them. We immediately liked the look of them, so we decided to hit the company’s booth, which was close by. There, we ran into the very nice Jesse Buss, who let DR handle and photograph her pair. Finally, Gatorz Eyewear Brand Manager Andrew Fontes took us through the Magnum Z ballistic eyepro on video. The Magnum Z’s main claim to fame–aside from the aforementioned Z87.1+ ballistic protection level (obviously a great feature in a tactical shooting sunglass)–is its 7075 Billet Aircraft Aluminum frame, which is very eye-catching and immediately recognizable. DR immediately liked the Magnum Z’s frame design and high degree of comfort.
Comfort is obviously crucial in a combat/tactical sunglass that an assaulter/operator or civilian tactical shooter is going to be wearing on his/her face for hours on end under conditions that are bound to get a bit rough. To assist with this aspect,, the Gatorz Eyewear Magnum Z specs’ frame provides an “adjustable custom fit”. DR will try to glean more info about this.
Both pairs of Magnum Z ballistic tactical sunglassesDR saw and handled appeared to sport the smoked grey lens, which is designed to “maintain true color perception and greatly reduce eye fatigue from the sun’s glare.” The lenses themselves are TruRay Optics 100% UV Protection High impact resistant polycarbonate with an anti-fog coating.
Oh, and they’re made in the USA, by the way.
Defense Review REALLY dug the Magnum Z, and we can’t wait to run a pair (or two) at the range. We’re actually going to try to snag a pair for DR writer/contributor and chief new-product tester Jeff Gurwitch, since his US Military SOF background and competitive 3-Gun experience make him an ideal individual to evaluate them.

Radar tech-see-through-walls se numește RF-Pose și este dezvoltat la MIT. Permite utilizatorului să vadă ce face un individ în ceea ce privește mișcarea brutală și poziția corpului pe cealaltă parte a peretelui în timp real, cu o rată de precizie actuală de 83%. „Inima” tehnologiei RF-Pose este un emițător radio care are aproximativ aceeași dimensiune ca un laptop. Grinzile radare trec prin pereți și se reflectă înapoi de corpurile umane, datorită conținutului ridicat de apă pe care îl conțin.
Is the US Military on the Cusp of a Through-Wall Radar X-Ray Vision and AI (Artificial Intelligence) ‘Activity Prediction’ Combined-Technology Urban Warfare/Combat Revolution?
In just the past month, articles have been published on two technologies that have peaked DefenseReview’s (DR) attention: x-ray-vision-type radar that allows one to see through walls, and artificial intelligence (AI) tech that allows one to predict human behavior/action minutes before it happens. These two technologies are respectively revolutionary on their own. However, combined, they’re potentially truly transformative with regard to urban warfare, also known as urban combat.
The see-through-walls radar tech is called RF-Pose, and it’s being developed at MIT. It allows the user to see what an individual is doing in terms of gross movement and body position on the other side of a wall in real time, with a current accuracy rate of 83%. The “heart” of the RF-Pose tech is a radio transmitter that’s roughly the same size as a laptop. The radar beams pass through walls, and get reflected back by human bodies, due to the high water content they contain.
“Computer algorithms analyze the reflected waves, homing in on the head, hands, feet and other key body parts to produce moving stick figures on a screen,” according to NBC News MACH writer Kate Baggaley. At the moment, the RF-Pose tech can only penetrate thin walls. Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute research associate Ginés Hidalgo says RF-Pose “could become a breakthrough” if this current wall-thickness limitation is solved.
The behavior/”activity-prediction” AI tech comes from a University of Bonn (Germany) research team. Right now, the technology can predict your actions minutes before they happen, but Dr. Jürgen Gall “believes the intelligent software will eventually be able to prophesize your actions ‘hours before they happen’”, according to Aaron Brown of Daily Mail. The activity-prediction technology relies on a rather advanced algorithm that apparently learns, recognizing information patterns.
Anyway, let’s just hope that both of these technologies only used against our enemies, and not against US. Defense Review will of course keep an eye on them.
O companie chineză numită ZKZM, o „companie cu laser de fibre”, a proiectat și a dezvoltat o pușcă laser numită ZKZM-500, care se presupune că „carbonizează instantaneu” pielea cuiva de la un kilometru distanță. Scary, nu? ZKZM afirmă că pușca laser ZKZM-500 poate declanșa o explozie de 1.000 de raze laser de două secunde pe o singură încărcare a bateriei litiu-ion.
Chinese ZKZM-500 Laser Rifle: Scary Skin Carbononizer, or Pure People’s Propaganda Power Play and Posturing?
Well, isn’t this a nice little gift a couple days before the 4th of July. A Chinese company called ZKZM, a “fiber laser company”, has reportedly designed and developed a laser rifle called the ZKZM-500 that can supposedly “instantly carbonize” one’s skin from one click (kilometer) away. Scary, no? ZKZM reportedly claims that the ZKZM-500 laser rifle can fire 1,000 two-second laser beam bursts on a single lithium-ion battery charge.
There’s just no way that a laser powered by a lithium-ion battery that a person could carry would be capable of producing the kind of heat described at point blank range, let alone at 800 meters.
That’s because of attenuation. Lasers, unlike bullets, scatter as they progress, making them weaker and weaker. Attenuation is non-trivial at anything beyond, say, a few dozen meters. By the time you get out to 800, the air and water the beam has traveled through enough to reduce it a fraction of its original power.
Writer Ned Dymoke (interesting last name), puts it this way:
“The very idea of an invisible laser that can set you on fire is much more effective than the actual implementation of the weapon itself, because the only thing scarier than this gun is the idea of getting shot by it. In the wise words of my old English professor: ‘If you heard a rumor that your landlord had a shotgun, you’d sure as shit pay your rent on time.’”
So, still pretty bad news for the Chinese people, but good news for US (United States and our NATO allies).

S&S Precision WetWorX Maritime Assault Gloves (Warm Weather and Cold Weather): Combat/Tactical Gloves for Waterborne Assaults! (Video!)
S&S Precision usually has new and interesting products for military SOF (Special Operations Forces) assaulters/operators every time we see see them, and their new WetWorX Maritime Assault Gloves are certainly no exception. Basically, the they’re combat/tactical shooting gloves for the water, and they come in both warm weather AND cold weather variants. DefenseReview (DR) was actually surprised at how reasonably priced they are, at $49.00 USD, as of this writing.
Both sets of gloves looked very well designed and made to us, which isn’t surprising. Aesthetically/visually, we particularly dug the mesh warm-weather WetWorX Maritime Assault Gloves, since we liked the perforated/ventilated look, but both are nice. DR also likes that both models incorporate “wrap-up index finger sidewall for enhanced trigger feel” for combat/tactical shooting and “‘Gripmax’ thumb construction with conductive material [on thumb and index finger]”, which means the gloves give you “grip where you need it” and “conduction where you need it” for operating you smartphone or tablet computer. the S&S Precision WetWorx Maritime Assault Gloves are also designed to be very comfortable, as well as durable.
Defense Review also like the fact that they go on and off quick, just like a batting glove.
The following information on the WetWorX Maritime Assault Gloves comes from the S&S Precision website:
When we started the WetWorX Maritime Assault Gloves, the very first thing we wanted to ensure was the user wouldn’t feel a great disparity between their warm water and cold water gloves. Our materials were carefully chosen to provide significant commonality between the warm & cold gloves, while maintaining the climate centered traits necessary to operate in a wide variety of environments. Paying close attention to the human factors and ergonomics associated with maritime operations, we have produced gloves with outstanding wet grip, tactility, and range of motion. Built into the WetWorX gloves is the durability needed for hot climate operations and the heat retaining traits needed for cold water operations. Grab a set and see for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
