<h2>Revolutionizing Weapon Storage</h2>
<p>In the ever-evolving world of military technology, innovation takes center stage. The US Military's Next Generation Squad Weapon initiative, which aims to replace the M4 and M249 weapons systems, awarded SIG Sauer the contract to develop the M7 rifle and M250 machine gun in 2022. This program stands to be the most significant small arms contract issued by the US military in the past 65 years, with an expected issuance of 400,000 weapons by 2032.</p>
<p>With over a decade of experience, Spacesaver was able to quickly recognize the unique needs for this project.  First, it became quite evident that two new brackets were needed, one for transport applications and the other for non-transport.  Beyond this, our years of experience led us to recognize that due to the unique length of the M250 with the suppressor, our 45” UWR® would work; however, would not be optimal for easily loading and unloading cabinets quickly without damaging these weapons.  This is when our team of engineers determined that a 51” cabinet would be ideal to support the M250.</p> 
<h3>Ammunition for the Future</h3>
<ul>
<li>As weapons storage needs change, our flexible universal base helps to future-proof armories</li>
<li>New 51” Cabinet Size - optimized for storing M250</li>
<li>Compatibility with our high-density mobile systems</li>
<li>Only vendor that has a storage solution for both transport and non-transport applications of the M7/M250</li>
<li>UWR reconfigurability allows for easily swapping brackets in existing cabinets</li>
</ul>
<h2>Unrivaled Arsenal</h2>
<p>Spacesaver is your one-stop shop for all storage needs, offering a wide range of solutions. From M7/M250 transport and non-transport storage to compatibility with our high-density mobile systems, which enable space efficiency and armory optimization, Spacesaver has it all. Our Universal™ Expeditionary Weapons Storage System is the most secure way to store and ship weapons in a TriCon. It consolidates weapons in standard-size TriCon containers during deployment, ensuring secure transport while saving time and space for all branches of the military. In addition, we provide a deployable storage solution as an alternative to wooden shipping crates, known as the Rapid Readiness Box. What sets Spacesaver products apart is not only their deployability and durability but also their safety. A crucial component of our safety focus is our Parachute Storage, which is designed to ensure the safety and security of the hundreds of personnel chutes we pack and store daily.</p>

<h2>A Legacy Is Born</h2>
<p>Spacesaver began building weapons racks in 1998, driven primarily by a rising demand for secure arms storage solutions from law enforcement agencies and correctional facilities. Seeing the success of the racks in the public safety environment, we began perfecting the design to make it as durable and user-friendly as possible. In 2000, the Marine Corps came to Spacesaver looking to purchase racks capable of storing their Benelli M4 Tactical shotguns.</p>
<h2>Designed By Soldiers For Soldiers</h2>
<p>Through initial discussions with the Marine Corps, it became clear they wanted more than just a rack for housing the M4. Instead, they needed a universal rack that could store the weapons safely and with their optics zeroed. After working extensively with the Marines to understand their weapons storage challenges, we designed, iterated, and developed what is now the Universal™ Weapons Rack (UWR®) – alongside those who would be using it every day.</p>
<p>After the release of the UWR, the Marine Corps cataloged and assigned NSNs to all UWR components, ensuring their weapons rack of choice would be available as the standard at all installations. To date, the UWR has been field tested extensively by all branches of the military and exceeds OPNAVINST 5530.13C and AR 190-1, MARCORSYSCOM, and TACOM standards.</p>
<h3>Testing And Engineering</h3>
<p>The Marines were so pleased with their custom solution that in 2003, the UWR became a cornerstone of our military storage solutions for all branches. Soon after, Spacesaver began getting requests from units that wanted to deploy with their weapons cabinets. To accommodate this need, the original cabinet was engineered and tested to protect weapons from shifting and abrasion during transport and to hold up over multiple deployments.</p>
<h3>Even More Capacity</h3>
<p>As units returned from deployment, they were looking for ways to store more weapons in their arms room without sacrificing the convenience and security of their UWR. To respond to this need, Spacesaver developed an 84” weapons rack, which allows for even higher density weapons storage in static applications. These racks can even be paired with a high-density mobile storage system to further compact space, making the solution a go-to for in-garrison weapons storage.</p>
<h5>Ready to be More Ready?</h5>
<p>As the needs of the military change, we continue to adapt and develop our military solutions. From weapons racks to medical supply storage, our local experts are here to help ensure every piece of gear is ready for transport and deployment. Reach out today.</p>

Spacesaver’s Universal Weapons Rack has been serving the military for decades.
