That's cute. There already were a SIG 226 Blackwater and a shotgun line by Mossberg with the Blackwater name and logo. That was what, 15 years ago?Uh. Seems kinda loose. "Blackwater" has not existed in years as such - literally over a decade. That logo now is used for branded apparel and toys.
XeS, Academi, 3C, NSPS, Constellis, whatever... not Blackwater.
If I had to guess, the ranks of "Blackwater" logo backpacks, gym socks, and airguns will soon be joined by branded firearms. Or maybe just scopes, grips, stocks, whatever.
Because mercs have done so much for stability in South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia the past century.
I'm still convinced the best thing to do with Africa is what Kim du Toit suggests here:I think Executive Outcomes actually did a lot for stability in Africa. They were far more successful than most state militaries.
This article does a good job of explaining the return of the Blackwater name.

Does it? Because I'm reading these articles and just seeing a ton of completely unrelated information, and one or two sentences of pure speculation about contracting under the old name MAYBE happening... Seems like Constellis says "nope, not us" and Erik Prince hasn't bought the name back.
Well, you're damn right. I AM cute.You're cute!
Cool, I'd get to grow a bitchin' beard and fit in with those guys.No time now, but I'll check this out maybe tonight.
I suspect that there will be a surge in demand for mercenary services, if one hasn't started already.
Don't forget the Rhodesian short shorts.Cool, I'd get to grow a bitchin' beard and fit in with those guys.
