  1. Yes, I wrote a letter to them, but at the technical support address I received a return from the demon clarifying that there is no such address and the letter was not delivered. Then I wrote to the general address and the letter seemed to have arrived, but I did not receive an answer. The reason for the research is the beginning of the development of our own devices due to the refusal to supply existing devices to Russia.
  2. In fact, the blade in it is good, but very capricious in terms of manufacturing accuracy. The gap between the blade and the body must be strictly observed. If it is too small and the blade may jam. Too large and the blade will warp when the loop-locking charge is activated. I can understand them, I had to spin around while the patent from Airteс was valid, but now you can install a standard A-shaped knife. True, you can eat crap here too.... basically, Mars started this indecent dinner.
  3. Here is a Mars cutter with a ring blade. I did not find a specially sharpened edge on it. It also does not have a recess in the blade like Vigil blades. In general, one gets the impression of a low level of engineering solutions in m2 devices. Cutter DOM 2014
  4. Unfortunately I couldn't find them on my phone. I'll try to find it in the archives soon.
  5. I'm sorry but my English is bad. I use a translator. Hello everyone. In June 2023, I had the opportunity to conduct a broad analysis of the cutters AAD. It turned out that AAD M2 changed the cutting element in the cutters. After examining 5 Mars cutters, I discovered an unsatisfying result and it shocked me. In the photo below there will be two opened cutters. One is Cypress and the second is Mars. Mars M2 made a copy of the Cypress cutter, but for some reason it was not completely and sooner or later it will play a cruel joke on the owners of these devices. In a Cypress, when a charge is triggered and a loop is cut, the cutter itself enters a soft damper, in which the loop is cut and the charge impulse is extinguished. All Cypres cartridges I shot when disassembling and removing the cutters showed the integrity of the cutter edge. When measuring the cutter before and after operation, they showed no deformation of the cutting edge. On the very edge there was no fine lint from the loop itself, and the loop had an even cut. When shooting 5 rounds of Mars with production dates of 2019 (2 pieces), 2021 (2 pieces), 2022 (1 piece), and subsequent removal of the cutters, a significant deformation of the edge of the cutter itself was discovered. The edge material was deformed to a depth of 1.3 mm with the edge unfolding outward. Traces of the threads of the check loop of the Reserve container were visible on the edge. If this cartridge is located on the side valve of the Reserve container and the loop is not cut enough, or gets caught on the edge of the edge, complete failure of the Reserve container is possible. Inserting the Reserve container manually will not lead to its uncoupling because the loop will be blocked by the chuck. If the cartridge is at the bottom of the backpack, then the reserve can be activated by hand. If you think that such a situation is impossible, then I will disappoint YOU; in Poland, a parachutist died due to a wedge with a Reserve container cartridge. By the way, there was an Argus device and after that this device was prohibited for use, and the office was closed. The first 4 photos are the work of a Cypres. You can see how the damper took the entire load and maintained the integrity of the cutter. The loop cut was smooth and without fine lint on the edges. The next 7 photos are of the Mars cutter and its receiving part without a damper. The cutter was severely deformed and had small particles of loop stuck in it on the edge.On the cutter itself there are traces from the cutter used to sharpen this element. After this research, I decided to stop using the MARS m2 AAD. I believe that the operation of this device is not safe due to the possible snagging of the edge of the loop on the deformed edge and the cutter blocking the operation of the reserve parachute. If there are questions, I will try to answer them.
