TrackingPoint launches firearm attachments
TrackingPoint has launched three new military-spec firearm stealth attachments for night-time missions - Hush Silencer, Vivid Gen-3 Night Vision and Torrid Thermal Imaging, it announced on 20 April.
The attachments are designed for total-darkness missions. Each device includes a Stealth Kit software upgrade thumb drive. The upgrade adds controls and features to the precision-guided firearms (PGFs) for silencer, night vision and thermal attachments.
The Hush Silencer Attachment comes in two variants - Hush-L and Hush-S. While Hush-L is optimised for the company’s 300Blackout and 300NightHawk, Hush-S is compatible with XS2, SA762, SA556, M800 and M600 firearms. Both come with a key-mount muzzle brake.
The Vivid Gen 3 Night Vision Attachment can be combined with an IR illuminator for situational awareness in all night-time conditions. Both these attachments are compatible with TrackingPoint XS2, XS1, SA762, SA556, 300Blackout, NightEagle 556, 300NightHawk, M800 and M600 PGFs.
The Torrid Thermal Attachment enables users to track, tag and eliminate targets at night or through haze, fog, smoke, dust, snow and other atmospheric obscurants. It extends night-time battle standoff ranges and uses FLIR Quark 2 technology, ruggedised to MIL-810G standards with glass fibre-reinforced construction. It is compatible with TrackingPoint PGFs including the M800, M600, NightEagle 556, XS1 and XS2.
John McHale, chief executive officer, TrackingPoint, said: ‘Soldiers and marines can now fully own the night. Depending on the mission, they can deploy our Gen-2 night vision, Gen-3 night vision, thermal, and silencer capabilities. Engaging stationary and moving targets at extreme distances in total darkness is now possible.’
