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.

Pennsylvania-based Real Auto PC (RAPC) designs compact computing systems for the military and now the company is starting to pursue the law enforcement market.

Matched with a display and a ruggedized keyboard, they can be used as mobile data systems in law enforcement operations.

X-caliber Tactical Strafer Less-Lethal Gun
X-caliber Tactical's Strafer Mark 4 less-lethal weapon turns airsoft projectiles into a pain compliance tool. Powered by a lightweight compressed gas tank and about the size of an FN P90 subgun, the Strafer fires 150 rounds per second at muzzle velocities up to 625 feet per second. (That's gotta sting.) It holds up to 7,200 rounds of 6mm airsoft ammo.
