In the firearms world, form follows function, and BALLISTIC is all about making sure you look good while performing at your best. That’s why we go to great lengths to round up the best new gear, attire and tactics to help you survive any mission in the 21st century.
The cover of the Spring 2016 issue of BALLISTIC is loaded with must-have gear and accessories, which is why we always include a “Cover Gear” section within the magazine. Here you’ll find out more about the rifle on the cover, the cutting-edge MI-T556 from AXTS Weapons Systems, a company that’s focused on evolving the AR platform even further, as well as our operator’s backup gun, a Smith & Wesson SW1911 E-Series pistol in .45 ACP. What about the chest rig? Why, that’s an Ares Armor Aspis Plate Carrier.
