(U//FOUO) The FBI assesses with high confidence, based on multiple incident reports from a collaborative source with direct access to the information, that counterfeit and substandard lithium batteries pose a serious health and safety risk to consumers, specifically law enforcement officers, emergency medical services providers, and military personnel who use these batteries extensively. The FBI has received numerous reports of such batteries, which are not manufactured with the safety mechanisms of legitimate US branded-batteries, spontaneously combusting while being used, transported, or stored, resulting in serious injuries to consumers and damage to tactical equipment and property.

(U) Law Enforcement, Military, and Emergency Responders at Risk From Counterfeit or Substandard Lithium Batteries in Tactical Equipment

(U//FOUO) Lithium batteries, primarily CR123A cell batteries, are used by the public in electronic devices; however, they are more frequently used by law enforcement officers, emergency medical services providers, and military personnel in tactical equipment such as flashlights, weapon lights, headlamps, and helmet lights and cameras. Counterfeit and substandard lithium batteries have caused numerous incidents involving serious injury to law enforcement personnel, as well as damage to equipment and property.

I used lithium polymer batts and when exposed to air they combust violently. Haven't tried cracking open a Lithium ion batt. thogh

Just curious, we talking about red dot as in optics, or red dot as in gun powder?

Seriously man?

I've had no problems ordering red dot optics from MidwayUSA, that's including batteries, that's why I'm curious, red dot optics, or red dot gun powder.

It has been stated in this thread that this change in shipping behavior has only started recently.  It's also been explained that the reason why they didn't ship it is because the package contains lithium batteries.  So unless red dot gun powder comes with lithium batteries, i don't think it's the gun powder.

Roger that. Thanks for the clarification.

ScReW midway.   Brownell's better 

I HATE looking for stuff on Brownells. You can't narrow the categories down to something specific. For example, I tried searching for an AR15 magazine. The most I can do is narrow it down to is AR15, magazines, then in stock. The I'll have to search through 81 items to find what i'm looking for.

At least let me pick what caliber @#$%^

Yup, doesn't make much sense.  You can't order a TLR-1 either.  Tried a while back and got the same message.
