EOTech and Aimpoint news
Sometime ago, Soldier Systems reported that USSOCOM found problems with EOTechs. In extreme temperature, the reticle would lose its zero. Now, Soldier Systems Daily is reporting that US Government is suing L3 Communications for failure to disclose test results that demonstrated this problem.
Update: Soldier Systems have update on the settlement L3 Communications made with US government. The accusation is pretty damning, with EOTech known flaws for many years yet not informing DoD as contract required.
On the other hand, Aimpoint Micro T-2 is now adopted by the FBI HRT since July. FBI's another unit, Defensive Systems Unit will use H-2. H-2 is not out on commercial market, but it will be a more economical version of T-2 without NV capability.
FBI HRT will use Sphur mount for their Aimpoint T-2s

9mm defensive load barrier tests
MAC tries out 4 defensive ammunitions using ballistic gels and how it performs against some barriers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0piGeTVMZWs
This test should be taken with some grain of salt. There are studies done under better and more controlled manner. Furthermore, those studies indicate that permanent cavity is more important than temporary cavity(or stretched). Whie it is impressive to see temporary cavities, the importance goes to permanent cavity
The bulletproof vest test at the end did not mention that +P+ rounds are closer to .357 magnum rounds which is beyond what Level IIA armor is rated for. So there is no surprise that the +P+ would penetrate.
