After Action Report – STRAC Technologies FAST System
Let me start by giving you a short bio on myself so that it might help in seeing the
person writing about your product. Military service 21 years, 5 of those in the U.S.
Marines. Army Infantryman (11) Series, Marines DIV. Recon, 2nd MARDIV. I am a true
believer that it is not the amount of gear that you have on your TAC vest but the use
and the quality that it brings to the fight. The F.A.S.T. SYSTEM MODEL M4 is a piece of
equipment that has brought rapid reload and the tactical advantage to a new level.
I have the system mounted center mass on my vest. The reason I have chosen this
mount is due to my job as a PSO I will never fight from the prone position or will I take a
knee. Being a PSO I must have myself and my weapon system in front of my principle if
the fight has come to me. This is the part that makes your system so great in my eyes.
Speed is one of the tasks that I train on and look for in my gear. The 1st time I used your
system at the range it felt natural and ergonomically correct when I went to reload. The
magazine was right there. With a bare or a gloved hand you could grasp and release for
reload fast and smooth. You did not have to look down (that would mean taking my
optic’s off the target) or open a Velcro flap and pulling up and out another magazine,
thus changing my body position and alignment to my target. Another advantage to the
F.A.S.T. SYSTEM MODEL M4 is the slim design; it keeps your vest from being to front
heavy and also allows you to maneuver in tighter places. I will admit I was a bit worried
about working in a large crowd and having one of the magazines exposed. I felt with the
cover off the system that curious or evil hands would try and get at the exposed magazine. I am glad to report I was WRONG. I have done
a total of 7 market walks in
huge crowds here with the new system. The way the system is mounted and the slim
line that I have mentioned allows me to keep my M4 closer to my body when carrying
the weapon at a low ready. What a great advantage that has made more stable on your
feet can keep a more aggressive and rigid fighting stance and what do you know the
exposed magazine is nicely tucked away by the position of the weapon. Another point I
must mention is the way the ammo is kept out from the dust and grim while on foot
patrols. The enclosed design of the F.A.S.T. SYSTEM MODEL M4 has made a huge
difference in keeping ammo clean. That is another bonus I found while doing
maintenance on my equipment after mission. To sum this all up I have enjoyed gear to
the fullest and to date have had no problems or failures with it in any way.
I thank you for your support you and your company have given to me and all others with
your quality design and equipment. |
