- [Narrator] The 2018 Air
Force Defender Challenge

00:18.030 --> 00:21.780
at JBSA Camp Bullis, Texas
did a 14 match-com levels

00:21.780 --> 00:23.820
security forces teams against one another

00:23.820 --> 00:25.316
in head to head competition.

00:25.316 --> 00:28.113
It also provided an opportunity
for distinguished guests

00:28.113 --> 00:31.810
and attendees to view and
handle two new weapons.

00:31.810 --> 00:34.470
That will become standard
issue for security forces.

00:34.470 --> 00:38.490
The M18 pistol, and the
M320 grenade launcher.

00:38.490 --> 00:39.950
Lieutenant Colonel Carlos Hernandez,

00:39.950 --> 00:42.071
director of the 2018 Defender Challenge,

00:42.071 --> 00:44.360
was highly pleased with the new pistol.

00:44.360 --> 00:45.766
- That thing is phenomenal.

00:45.766 --> 00:48.070
The trigger pull on that is smooth.

00:48.070 --> 00:52.720
It's a lot more compact, and
it feels more like a solid

00:52.720 --> 00:54.934
piece of machinery in your hands.

00:54.934 --> 00:58.160
(gunshots ring out)

00:58.160 --> 00:59.670
- [Narrator] Guests who
sampled the new weapon

00:59.670 --> 01:03.033
were equally impressed with
Sig Sauer manufactured M18.

01:03.033 --> 01:07.244
They found it easy to hold, aim, and fire.

01:07.244 --> 01:10.359
Others tested out the
M320 grenade launcher.

01:10.359 --> 01:12.470
They had the opportunity to fire

01:12.470 --> 01:14.638
non-lethal paint and beanbags rounds

01:14.638 --> 01:16.960
at short and long range targets.

01:16.960 --> 01:20.900
- [Carlos] I think it is
gonna be a great addition tool

01:20.900 --> 01:24.150
for the toolbox and provide
our airmen better tools

01:24.150 --> 01:25.335
out in the battlefield.

01:25.335 --> 01:26.168
