In this issue

It’s a whole new year, but PMCI keeps pounding the ground as always! This issue sees our annual report from the leviathan that is SHOT Show in Las Vegas, along with two very special reports!

“Mad Mike” Hoare: The Legend

At PMCI we realise that in some circles military contractors are still viewed as “guns for hire”, or more simply put, mercenaries, former soldiers that will put their lives on the line for cold, hard cash.
