Spotted at the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC) 2014 is the AJAX Armor System made by Tactical Revolution. This gives extra protection to the shooter especially during prone positions as the shoulders are lesser protection areas. Looks a bit bulky but it might be something that airsoft players would want installed on their rifles or support weapons... "The battle between body armor and weaponry has been waged throughout history. As one side makes advances, the other side is forced to do the same. When it comes to armor, the idea is to wear just enough to protect most of your vital areas without weighing you down too much. As threat levels have increased, soft armors have become less effective against small arms and hard armors have come into play.

While armor plates perform extremely well against high-velocity ballistic threats, they only cover a portion of your torso – typically your chest, back and sides. But what about your shoulders, face and neck? This is where the AJAX armor system comes in.

AJAX is a strategic repurposing of existing hard armor that you currently operate with – we don’t add unnecessary weight or bulk. It allows you to take your side plates from your vest and attach them to your weapon mounted rail system. It gives you the protection that conventional body armor fails to provide.

We believe you shouldn’t have to make compromises when it comes to your safety. AJAX provides the protection you’re looking for when you need it, where you need it – between you and the bad guy. Everyone wants to put their head down when the bullets are flying, but it’s your job to keep your head in the fight – literally. This tough, lightweight, weapon mounted ballistic shield delivers on the phrase 'We’ve got you covered'."
