The Ultimax 100 LMG/SAW (5.56x45mm), designed and developed (along with its 100-shot drum magazine) from scratch in the late 1970's/early 1980's by Jim Sullivan (L. James Sullivan) and his design/development partner Bob Waterfield for then CIS of Singapore (now Singapore Technologies Kinetics Land Systems, a.k.a. ST Kinetics Land Systems), is considered by many small arms experts to be the best 5.56mm light machine gun/squad automatic weapon (LMG/SAW) in the history of the world. DefenseReview has been writing about the Ultimax 100 LMG/SAW virtually since our inception. And, in the last year or so, we've discussed the Ultimax quite a bit. In our article on Noveske Rifleworks Weapons packages, we discussed not only what's important about he Ultimax, but also how and why it's superior to the U.S. Army's current light machine gun/squad automatic weapon (LMG/SAW), the problematic/subpar FN M249 SAW. We also mentoned the Ultimax 100 SAW in two of our articles on the Auto-Assault-12 Shotgun (AA-12 Shotgun): our first-ever blurb on the AA-12, and our more extensive article on the AA-12 and FRAG-12 12-gauge armor-piercing grenade family, published subsequently.

The reason we bring all this up is because Vincent L. Deniro (CEO) and Brian Vuksanovich (Chief Engineer) at American Defense Management, Inc. (ADM) have developed a bunch of modifications to the Ultimax 100 MK3 for VT Kinetics/Vision Technologies Systems, Inc. (VT Systems, Inc.) to create the...

The following article contains links to video clips of Pinnacle Armor Dragon Skin/SOV body armor being live-fire tested against 7.62x39mm military ball ammo (FMJ) and 9mm military ball ammo (9x19mm FMJ) at short distances.

As our readers know, DefenseReview has been reporting on the Pinnacle Armor SOV/Dragon Skin body armor vs. Interceptor Body Armor for a number of weeks, now. Well, Nat Helms of Soldiers For The Truth (SFTT)/Defense Watch recently published an article on an indoor shooting test (live-fire ballistic test) conducted on January 26th (2006), where a Fresno County Sheriff's Office (FCSO) SWAT sharpshooter fired 21 rounds of 7.62x39mm FMJ military ball ammo from an AK-47/AKM-variant rifle at a Pinnacle Armor Dragon Skin vest at a distance of 20 feet and 120 rounds of 9mm FMJ military ball ammo were fired from an HK MP5 submachine gun at a distance of 10 feet. The SFTT/Defense Watch article is titled Dragon Skin Shows Its Stuff.

Well, Defense Review has obtained exclusive video footage of that live-fire test. We have a "Standard Range View" and a second "Uninterrupted Close Up" view of that ballistic test.

And, even better, DefRev also has exclusive video footage of a second live-fire test conducted on January 27th (2006) at an outdoor shooting range where 40 rounds of 7.62x39mm FMJ military ball ammo were fired at 20 feet (with an AKM/AK-47-variant rifle) and 150 rounds of 9mm military ball were fired at 10 feet (with a Heckler & Koch MP5 subgun) into a Pinnacle Armor SOV/Dragon Skin vest.
