Firearms are a major investment for your customers, so they need to have secure and reliable protection, especially when they're subjected to climate extremes during transport, when being stored, or during outdoor activities. Many manufacturers are moving to weatherproof firearm cases as they provide that crucial protection; their cover ensures firearms remain intact, functional, and safe. The added security and peace of mind they provide makes these cases a must for responsible firearms owners, for police and military personnel, for hunters, and for those who shoot competitively.
Your customers will likely use their firearms in environments where moisture, air, dirt, and temperature extremes can cause corrosion and rust making firearms unreliable, unsafe, and unappealing. While aesthetics may not be important for some, we can all agree that for military, police, hunters, and other sportsman, functionality is essential in both harsh conditions and in emergency situations.
Your best option to protect firearms is an airtight and watertight case (ATWT). ATWT firearms cases are designed with specific features like seals and pressure release valves to protect firearms from the elements including air, moisture, and dirt. Under normal atmospheric conditions, gaskets (usually around the lid) create an airtight seal when the case is closed. When the case is exposed to sudden pressure changes—such as when an airplane ascends or descends—a pressure release valve helps release air inside the case to equalize pressure.
These elements are vital for gun owners whose environments are prone to moisture or dust, meaning your customer will appreciate a solution.
The transportation and storage of firearms are governed by strict regulations that demand the secure, locked storage of firearms as a public safety measure to ensure responsible handling and storage. This includes travel regulations and restrictions that most manufacturers must consider or may can land a person in some significant hot water while also resulting in some substantial penalties.
ATWT cases are often built with locking features such as safety release latches, tamper resistant hinges, and pad lock placements to ensure safe handling and transport. Each either makes it harder for unwanted users to access the case or to keep the firearm safe in the event of a drop or impact.
An ATWT case is only as good as its interior because no one wants their gear moving around inside the case. With a custom fit interior, these cases can accommodate not only the firearms themselves but also the accessories that go along with them, such as scopes, magazines, suppressors, and ammunition, providing protection for a range of sensitive equipment.
Many manufacturers choose custom foam inserts for internal support. They are typically made with polyethylene or polyurethane foam which has its own weather resistant characteristics water drainage and drying capabilities. This internal customized padding keeps firearms accurate by protecting delicate optics and precision-machined components from the sorts of shocks and vibrations that knock sights out of alignment and compromised the accuracy of firearms and the people who use them.
Built from tough materials like reinforced polymers, polyethylene, or aluminum, weatherproof firearm cases offer incredible durability from impact, drops, and other rough condition. Durability is improved by reinforced corners, edges, and structural supports which protect against the kinds of impacts likely to be encountered during transport. Military and law enforcement firearm cases are subjected to rigorous tests to ensure that they meet tough standards and perform reliably under extreme conditions.
Most firearms are not cheap, and customers know it. Investing in providing your customer with weatherproof gun cases provides lasting economic benefits. Proper protection of your firearms from damage due to the elements, rust, or corrosion will save your customer money in the long run and create loyalty.
Extending the life of firearms also creates collection value and brand recognition. The longer your firearm is in the market, in good shape, the more recognizable it becomes. The collection market has become a key indicator of a brands value and customer loyalty as customer typically buy what they know and has been around for a long time.
Reduced maintenance, functionality over extended periods, and sheer unlikelihood of damaging a firearm all add economic value to both your brand and the firearm itself. The best way to preserve that value for customers is through an ATWT case.
