The Strafer was featured in Corrections Forum July/August 2008 magazine in a short article entitled "Less (Lethal) is More. The wave of the future in less lethal weaponry".
The article mistakenly says the Strafer "Is made of lightweight, Airsoft plastic." The article also labels the Strafer as a "BB Machinegun LTL". While the Strafer does fire plastic BBs (and plastic BBs only), the Strafer is made of aircraft grade aluminum.
While at OLTEC's Mock Prison Riot, X-Caliber Tactical was filmed by CNN and National Geographic for a piece on non-lethal technology, including the Strafer and the M134A2. Watch the video below.
X-Caliber Tactical is attending OLTEC's Mock Prison Riot May 11-14, 2008 in West Virginia. While there, we'll be out of touch. E-mails and phone calls will be answered as quickly as possible upon our return.
