The only requirement to get in the AUSA show is to be a member of AUSA. It's $40 for a 2-year membership. I don't think being in the Army is really a requirement. Usually in the August or September issue of Army magazine is an application to get a admission ticket. I went in 1986, awesome show, like SHOT except with hand grenades and anti-tank rockets!

Sounds like a show with a bunch of stuff that I should be able to purchase but the government will say otherwise.

I attended the Infantry Conference as a rep for Barrett in 2004. I was qualified because I can lift & carry a lot of gear, and I like to talk about guns.

Neat. Having been to SHOT it is cool to see the new stuff coming out and all of the prototypes and wunderguns.
I can only imagine some of the cool shit here. I have a friend who works for Lockheed and he assures me there are some cray things in the works. |

What percentage of attendees had Russian or Chinese accents?

Small arms are incredibly dull when you compare them to sophisticated defense tech.

Did you happen to a close up of the gas tube on the AK? Looks different than an Ultimak

They are trained to hide it well. But it is interesting to see foreign military milling about. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

What percentage of attendees had Russian or Chinese accents? Also noticed a booth manned by 2 Canadian soldiers dressed in their version of BDUs. I am sure there were many other nationalities there too. I doubt anything close to being classified is on display at a show of this size. Besides, our adversaries probably do most of their spying on the web or by hacking smart phones these days. Cheaper and less risky. |

Anybody get run over by the guys driving the EOD bot down the hallway?

Read something interesting the other day...that they may be misdiagnosing PTSD when in fact it's TBI from firing "recoiless rifles". No dog in the fight, just glad they're looking at all the probable causes.
One small bit that made news in the geek circles...one of the Army GOs got up and said they're buying 200,000 IVAS (that's .mil for Hololens II) in the short term. Industry is piling in also. Worth taking a look at who Microsoft is going to as their component suppliers |

Tag. I’ll post a bunch of photos later today!
... including my sweet “gold” magpul |
