The MultiCam Rally Fighter is but one of the cool vehicles frequently seen at the SHOT Show. Â This purpose-built machine was prominently displayed on the ground floor of the convention center, and drew quite a bit of interest from people wandering by.
And so it begins…
As you read this, I am either sitting in an airport, flying in a plane, or riding in a taxi – all in an effort to get to the 2013 SHOT Show in Las Vegas. Â During the coming week, the guys at GunsHolstersAndGear will be with me as we hit the range and prowl the aisles of the show floor. Â We will be looking for all of the new guns and bits of kit that companies will introduce this year.
“The next generation of submachine gun is here,” states a SIG Sauer video demonstrating the all new SIG MPX. Â The SIG MPX is a new submachine gun that the company is expected to show off at next week’s SHOT Show.
There are a number of features that really set this gun apart from others in this category. Â First, according to the video, the SIG MPX is the world’s first submachine gun to work with a fully closed and locked rotating bolt system. Â The gun uses the SIG Sauer short stroke gas piston system that the company has used on their other rifles. Â There is a last round hold open.
I recently published a teaser ad that suggested a cooperative effort between Detroit Gun Works, Blackhawk! and Kroll International. Â I speculated that Detroit Gun Works would be building an AR-style rifle. Â Well, it now looks like Detroit Gun Works will not be at the SHOT Show and may not be making any products with their brand on it in the near future.
In a statement published on their website, Detroit Gun Works stated they will not be at the 2013 SHOT Show, and they will not be making lowers or rifles with the company name on them.
Less that 30 days away, the SHOT Show rumors are starting to fly. Â Some are more credible than others, but only time will tell which prove to be correct.
Winchester Repeating Arms is supposed to be introducing new versions of the Super X Pump (SXP) shotguns including a rugged marine version. Â I would expect the Marine Defender to be a salt-water resistant version of the SXP Defender with an 18″ barrel and 5+1 capacity.
