6P Serves with Distinction in Afghanistan

Supporting Our Troops
We can think of no greater honor than to know that when the men and women of our nation's armed forces put their lives on the line, they choose SureFire flashlights to accompany them into battle. Here are their accounts of how SureFire's products fared in the face of danger.

Back To True Stories Main

I served as a Humvee gunner in Afghanistan. We had many difficulties trying to keep traffic away from convoys at night. Standard-issue military flashlights just didn't cut it, so I bought a 6P® and used it as an attention-getter for the drivers in the area. More than once it saved us from being hit or having to shoot someone who wasn't paying attention. It also helped when we had to look for IEDs (improvised explosive devices). My 6P even survived a fall from the Humvee one night. I had to trade a lesser flashlight and five bucks to an Afghani local just to get it back, but it was definitely worth it.

Thanks, Surefire!
