ABOUT

AT TRIPLE POINT SYNDICATE WE SPECIALIZE IN PRODUCING HIGH-QUALITY BLADES AND GEAR FOR MILITARY, FIRE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT TEAMS ACROSS THE GLOBE. OWNED AND OPERATED BY FORMER MILITARY PERSONNEL ROOTED IN THE SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMUNITY, WE UNDERSTAND THE RIGOROUS TESTING AND STANDARDS NEEDED FOR A FUNCTIONAL AND RELIABLE TOOL THAT WILL WITHSTAND ANY ENVIRONMENT. #WITHOUTCOMPROMISE

WHEN A LOW-ALTITUDE AIRBURST EXPLOSION OCCURS, THE INITIAL BLAST WAVE PROPAGATES 360 DEGREES FROM THE CENTER OF THE EXPLOSION. WHEN THAT BLAST WAVE COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND, IT REFLECTS OFF THE GROUND CREATING A SECONDARY WAVE OBTAINING A HIGHER TEMPERATURE AND OVERPRESSURE THAN THE INITIAL BLAST WAVE. ONCE THAT REFLECTED BLAST WAVE CONVERGES WITH THE INITAL BLAST WAVE DUE TO THEIR ANGLED PATHS, THEIR COMBINED OVERPRESSURE FORMS A NEAR-VERTICAL AND MORE POWERFUL BLAST WAVE CALLED THE MACH STEM. THE HIGHEST POINT AND LEADING EDGE OF WHERE ALL THREE BLAST WAVES MEET IS CALLED THE TRIPLE POINT AND ANYTHING IN THAT AREA EXPERIENCES A PEAK OVERPRESSURE THAT IS SEVERAL TIMES GREATER THAN THE PEAK OVERPRESSURE OF THE INITIAL BLAST WAVE. PSA: DON'T GET CAUGHT CHASING BLAST WAVES.
