FoxFury has an established history of creating purpose-built tools catering to law enforcement, first responders & fire fighters. Their latest release, the Breakthrough series featuring SMO-KUT technology should be of particular interest for the last group:
The series comes in two flavors with the BT2 utilizing an XP-E LED and featuring a 2 degree beam angle (hence the number in the name). Likewise the BT3 features a 3 degree beam angle but achieved with an XM-L. Regardless of the LED in use, they are both terrific throwers. The initial portion of this review will be conducted in my standard format but I will be collaborating with a firefighter in the hopes of getting some real world use shots and feedback that will be incorporated in this review over time.
