From Magpul:

The mission of Magpul CORE is simple: to project the founding principles of Magpul Industries Corporation to the customer, and to be the nexus of design and employment when developing new products. This mission is accomplished through a variety of channels such as firearms and adventure training courses, media and communications outlets, end-user interaction, and a relentless daily drive to improve.

This ethos generates a tremendous amount of information.  Knowledge and experience; successes and failures. All are valuable in their own way. This information has no value if hidden away, and the Magpul CORE Blog is our outlet to share.

Gear:  Hard use and real feedback. Critical evaluation of the details drives constant improvement.

Adventure:  The good, bad, and ugly moments of life away from the comforts of home.

Fitness: Fitness is a vital and often ignored part of all things related to life.  Whether you’re a military or law enforcement professional, firearms enthusiast, hunter, or a concerned citizen you’ll find information on optimizing physical performance.

Event and Competition Coverage:  Challenging skills, equipment, and people in a realistic environment, competition is the proving ground for readiness.

The first post will cover the 2015 Recon Challenge.  Read about a group of elite Marines who test themselves mentally and physically in honor of their fallen comrades.

Expect weekly articles covering a broad range of topics spanning across the four different categories.  Visit www.magpul.com/propaganda

Armageddon Gear Fat Bags

Armageddon Gear’s new Fat Bags are now available!

When it comes to building a shooting position, using muscle to support the position is less optimal and using rigid skeletal structure is the way to go when possible. If you have a void in your position, your muscles have to work to hold that position which introduces shake and fatigue. Fat Bags can be used to tie your position together. They can be tucked under your butt so it is resting on your heal, tucked under your weapon side arm in a kneeling position to tie everything into your weapon side leg, or any number of other uses. They can also be used to stabilize the forend of your rifle on platforms and barricades.

The Fat Bags are constructed from Cordura Nylon and are filled with airweight beads to keep their weight to a minimum. The large bag weighs just 11 ounces and the medium weighs just 7.4 ounces.

The large bag features a tapered design that makes it work more easily in the space you are most likely to use it which is under your weapon side arm. Both bags can be deployed in a number of ways that ensure they will be ready to use when you need them. They feature long Velcro straps that allow you to tie the bag onto your arm or the forend of your rifle. They also feature bungee straps that let you tie the bags onto your belt where they can be quickly placed into position without removing them from the belt.

Fat Bags are available in a variety of colors. Check them out at Armageddon Gear.
