An IED detection training device can include a barrel which can be adapted to receive a blank ammunition cartridge. A housing can be connected to the barrel, and a firing pin having a tab extending from the firing pin can be disposed in the housing. A spring can surround the firing pin, and a sleeve having a slot can surround the sleeve so that the firing pin tab is disposed in the sleeve slot. A lever can be pivotably attached to the housing so that the lever selectively engages the tab. A pull ring can also be pivotably attached to the housing, to selectively engage the lever. Pivoting of the pull ring can cause pivoting engagement of the lever and disengagement of the tab, which can further cause the spring to move the firing pin forward to strike the ammunition blank cartridge.

Portable IED training device

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a Detection Tool for use by personnel tasked with locating Improvised Explosive Devices ('IEDs'). The Detection Tool is preferably constructed of a non-metallic and non-conductive material so as to reduce the risk of accidental triggering of electrical explosive devices. The Detection Tool is shaped in order to penetrate surfaces, such as compacted roadways or other thoroughfares, where IEDs may be concealed. Additionally, the Detection Tool may include measurement indicators as well as attachment means so as to be easily integrated with other gear carried by users of the Detection Tool.

Explosive device detection tool

Embodiments disclosed herein provide an improved firearm magazine holder including features such as a guide ramp configured to guide a firearm while inserting a magazine held by the magazine holder into the firearm; a guide ramp configured to help guide the firearm away from the magazine holder once a magazine is inserted into the firearm; a magazine spacer; a base wall; and a magnet configured to attach to the magazine by magnetic force.
