A tactical law enforcement trade show like TREXPO East tends to attract some fairly innovative tools. This year's show was no exception.
Walking the aisles, you could see the latest tactical vehicles, weapons, communications, and apparel. Here's a quick look at some of the things that caught our attention.
ESS Crossbow Eyeshield
ESS's new Crossbow eyeshield offers pretty much everything you have come to expect from ballistic eye protection. It can be fitted with a wide variety of Mil-Spec lenses; it can accommodate a prescription insert; and it offers great fog and scratch resistance. It also features one really cool ESS innovation: the Dedbolt. The Dedbolt is a little latch on the bridge of the glasses that secures the lens when closed and facilitates lens replacement when open. It's a great feature for anyone who worries about the security and stability of interchangeable eyeshield lenses.

It holds up to 7,200 rounds of 6mm airsoft ammo.
