    In 48 hours, a block of metal will be formed into the most accurate weapon on earth: the AX-338 Sniper Rifle. In a warzone, police stand off, or hostage taking, the sniper is often the only solution to a bad situation. And, if a target is caught in the crosshairs of an AX338 from as far as 20 city blocks away, he'll never know what hit him.

    When a series of delicate snowflake shaped sheets of Aramid are pressed together, they'll form a piece of headgear that's comfortable enough to wear to war, and tough enough to take a bullet. Up until the mid-90's, helmets hadn't evolved that far from the steel doughboy helmets of World War 1.

    In World War 1, the original grenade launchers were the infantrymen themselves. They both lit and lobbed the mini bombs from the trenches. They could throw the grenade 15 metres fairly accurately, but then would have to duck for cover to avoid the shrapnel from the explosion. Today's version, made in Illinois, USA, has both range and precision.

    Developed from solidified vegetable oil, this military grade compound is a long way from department store concealer: it's sweat proof, infrared resistant, and stays on in the drenching downpour. Applied to a soldier's face, these globs of colour could paint him right out of the picture, and maybe save his life.
