Special Forces combat proven instinctive shooting grip

FAB Defense just released this Ergonomic Pointing Grip and companion Versatile Tactical Support.  I had the opportunity to take it to the range and try it out.

The PTK - Ergonomic Pointing Grip is far superior to competitors products (Angle Fore Grip, etc.) in it's design.  It even comes with a handy storage compartment.

The PTK conceptualizes within its design a unique Special Forces combat proven instinctive shooting method incorporating natural pointing positioning which enhances accuracy and tactical performance.

The VTS - Versatile Tactical Support is a great companion but can be utilized in many other ways.  I tried it as an index (trigger) finger support for my weak hand and was really impressed at how much more natural it felt.
 
The new VTS provides versatile solutions for various forward grip positioning enhancing comfort and increasing accuracy. This ergonomic support may be set to accommodate a wide variety of tactical locations for ideal operational superiority taking in mind ideal compact configuration.

It's a very different grip then the tactical grips I've used in the past.  Watch this video and see how it works in action.

Hamas "We Used Women and Children as Human Shields"

Hamas MP Fathi Hammad: We Used Women and Children as Human Shields.

Fathi Hammad: [The enemies of Allah] do not know that the Palestinian people has developed its [methods] of death and death-seeking. For the Palestinian people, death has become an industry, at which women excel, and so do all the people living on this land. The elderly excel at this, and so do the mujahideen (Arabic for holy warriors) and the children. This is why they have formed human shields of the women, the children, the elderly, and the mujahideen, in order to challenge the Zionist bombing machine. It is as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: "We desire death like you desire life."
