HighCom Armor Rifle Armor Kit (RAK) – A Customizable Single Package Armor Solution
Rifle Armor has been in deployment primarily for Military and Law Enforcement special tactic units for defeating long rifles and larger caliber and higher velocity rounds for many years. While most of Law Enforcement has relied on soft armor protection, designed to defeat handgun threats up to 9mm, .357, and 44 mags.
Threats Today
Today, there is a clear and present danger in domestic urban or rural settings as Law Enforcement and First Responders come against higher velocities and long rifle threats in the form of AR15, AK47, and various hunting style rifles utilizing common .223, 5.56, 7.62, .308, 30.06 and other high velocity and penetrating rounds, that soft armor simply is not capable of defeating or protecting against. We believe the need has arrived to consider rifle armor upgrades to provide officers the only protection capable of defeating these threats.
Answering the Call
In recognition of the growing risk from rifle threats, we developed the Rifle Armor Kit, or RAK, program to expand the concept of an active shooter kit to a variety of situations and to provide a customizable armor solution in an easy-to-understand package.
Each RAK includes (1 carrier), (2) hard armor plates and (2) I.D. placards. The kit can be customized to operator needs based on type of plate carrier, desired protection and plate cut, and I.D. inscription. Pouches, carrier bags, and other accessories are also available. All components of the RAK are manufactured in the USA!
Outfit the RAK in 3 easy steps:
- Step 1: SELECT PLATE CARRIER
- Step 2: SELECT RIFLE PLATES
- Step 3: SELECT I.D. PLACARD
