Shot Show 2022 was much different than the shows of the past. Yes, there were less people and less vendors but there was more of a few things. One of those things was a mess of new, innovative, and just plain awesome new tactical vehicles. From off road monsters to technologically advanced electric bikes here are some of my favorites from Shot Show 2022.

Tomcar TX

This may very well be the ultimate off-road machine. Built completely from the ground up starting with a fully welded frame utilizes armored steel on load-bearing components and an aircraft-grade aluminum skid plate for unsurpassable impact protection. The available gas or electric power train pushes 115hp to the wheels. The entire drive train is located above the skid plate and out of harm’s way. 3 different models are available to match your exact needs. Additionally, all three models can carry up to their own weight on top of them. 100% payload capacity on and off road. Embrace the power, stability, and payload of the new Tomcar TX.  From the battlefield to the mud-baked trails and everything in-between — there is no limit with the Tomcar TX. Starting at $21,000 https://tomcar.com/models/tx/

Hydratrex CM66

The CM66 is a smaller version of Hydratrex’s larger amphibious tactical vehicles. This monster utilizes the chassis design of the Hydratrek products and the Land Tamer gearbox and driveshaft drive system. Outdoorsmen and waterfowlers will love this model due to it’s compact size with incredible capabilities. The CM66 features a 57 HP Kubota gasoline engine, marine-grade aluminum construction, a hydrostatic drive system, and all-wheel drive. You can choose to run the Hydratrex with or without the track system.

Seating for up to 5 persons is available, and other options include 18″ track system, rear water propulsion, LED light bars, front and rear electric winch, and a full cage with storage racks. The land payload is 1,400 lb., and the water payload is 1,000 lb. The CM66 is generating a lot of excitement due to its smaller size and superior reliability. This thing is pretty much a mini tank.

The Rook by Ring Power

The Rook is quite possibly the ultimate in tactical vehicles. Custom designed and fabricated by Ring Power Corporation using a Cat chassis with rubber tracks, dual joystick controls, cameras, gun port holes, rear and front lights, an enclosed cab with air conditioning/heat, and operator comfort seat. The Rook also features bullet-proof glass, and a full NIJ Level IV armored cab with reinforcement fabrication on every square inch. The Rook is designed to utilize a plethora of heavily armored accessories and breeching tools as well.

The Armored Deployment Platform is a custom built NIJ Level IV platform that provides room for up to four fully-dressed officers and is equipped with two locking gun ports, four 5” x 9” sliding gun ports, four bullet proof glass sight ports, and 2 wireless video cameras attached to the front of the platform with video feed to the equipment operator. The Hydraulic Breaching Ram attachment delivers 6,500 psi of pressure and much more power than a traditional hand-carried ram. The Grapple Claw can be utilized to gain access to pretty much anywhere and destroy anything with its 4,500 lbs. of pressure.

Bakcou Timberwolf Scooter

When you’re thinking “tactical vehicles” you’re probably not thinking “scooters.” But Bakcou wants to change your mind with Timberwolf. High powered and built for the backcountry, the Timberwolf lives up to its name. The new, all-terrain scooter can take you anywhere you want to go. It is built with a Bafang 750-Watt rear hub motor, the same motor found in their eBikes but in a lighter weight scooter. The Timberwolf can carry up to 300 pounds and will cruise at about 20mph thanks to the 48V 17.5ah battery.

The Timberwolf is fully equipped with Tektro dual-piston brakes in the front and rear, 400 Lumen Headlight, a Rear Pannier Rack, Front Basket Rack, and Front and Rear Mud Fenders. The 24-inch front tire makes climbing over rocky terrain a breeze. Foldable handlebars make hauling this scooter to the mountains a breeze, and the kickstand helps keep it upright. The Timberwolf is fun, maneuverable, and easy to transport, making it a great addition to your backcountry gear.
