FN Viper X-11
FNH partners with Viper Research to introduce handheld tactical lights. The 6-volt Xenon lights are made in the U.S. from solid aircraft-grade aluminum and steel barstock. The lights include recoil-isolated lamp assemblies, integrated self-servicing tools and lanyard retention bores, multiple O-ring seals, steel wire belt clips and weapons-grade non-reflective finishes.
The FN Viper X-11 tactical light is equipped with four hardened metal horns for emergency glass-breaking capability. The FN Striker-6 tactical light has glass-breaking capability, selectable three-position rear-mounted operating switch assembly and an internal gas purge assist capability"

FN FNP-45 Stainless
FN SLP Mark I
The FN FNP-45 Autoloading Pistol utilizes double-action/single-action operation. It features a high-capacity, ergonomic polymer frame with interchangeable backstrap inserts, accessory rail, ambidextrous frame-mounted decocking levers and magazine release. It has a hammer-forged barrel and loaded chamber indicator. The FNP-45 is available in matte black stainless steel and matte silver stainless steel.
The FN PS90 TR is a compact, lightweight, ambidextrous, triple-rail semiautomatic carbine based on the P90 and chambered in 5.7x28mm. The 10- or 30-round box magazine runs horizontally along the top and fired cases are ejected downward. It has a 16.04' barrel, integral muzzle brake and features closed-bolt operation. It is available with a black or olive drab stock.
The FN SLP Mark I autoloading shotgun features an aluminum alloy 12-gauge, 3' magnum receiver, eight-shot magazine tube and 22' barrel with the Standard Invector choke tube system. The Active Valve system automatically adjusts the exact amount of gas needed to operate the action and two interchangeable gas pistons are included. The checkered matte black synthetic stock is equipped with a premium recoil pad and steel sling swivel studs. An adjustable folding rear sight, red fiber-optic front sight element and Weaver-pattern cantilever optics rail are standard.
FN and C-More Systems introduce low-profile, non-snag 3-dot fixed combat sights for the FN Five-seveN 5.7x28mm pistol, with optional self-luminous tritium elements. The sights are offered as an accessory, with plans to include them as standard equipment on select models of the Five-seveN USG pistol later this year."

Displaying ammo collection. How to do it?
Posted by marlinman93:
Displaying ammo collection. How to do it?: "It's best to lay them out on a piece of colored hard board, or heavy cardboard. Find a large picture frame first, that will hold the number of cartridges you want to display. When you lay them all out, take a Sharpie, or fine tip pen, and put a dot on either side of each case. This will give you a mark to drill a small hole for a retaining wire. After drilling a hole for each cartridge, get some small copper wire, and push it through the holes, securing the cartridge to the board by twisting the wire together on the back.
Rainbow or circular patterns look better than straight rows. If you need more room, a small half circle inside of a larger half circle will get them all in. Try to type up labels to glue on beside each cartridge, to identify the caliber. This is similar to what the ammo makers did with their bullet boards in the past. If you want to get really creative, you could get a picture of a big game anaimal, and have it blown up as a background for your display board.
Good luck!"
