Hydra Weaponry Partners with Global Defense as its Export Broker of Record

Hydra Weaponry’s modular rifle and pistol line is now capable of being exported to all militarily allied countries with Global Defense’s highly evolved export license services.

Hampden, Maine (April 2025) – Hydra Weaponry, Maine’s largest firearms employer, designers, and manufacturers of the truly modular MARCK-15 Hydra® Weapon System, has signed with Global Defense as their international export partner, providing the United States’ global military allies with Hydra’s battle-ready modular rifle and pistol systems

“With Jordan Young’s long tenure in the export/compliance field with such industry leading firms as Orchid Advisors and Remington Arms, Hydra Weaponry is confident that we have found a reliable partner who will navigate the complex compliance and licensing required for our firearms to sell within our global military and law enforcement community,” Mack Gwinn III, CEO of Hydra Weaponry, commented.

In the past year, Hydra Weaponry has moved to a larger facility, increased manufacturing capacity, introduced new magwells and calibers for the Hydra MARCK-15 and Hydra 10 modular rifle platforms, and launched the long-awaited BMP-23, the modern version of the Bushmaster pistol developed in the mid 1970’s by Mack Gwinn, Jr. As part of its mission to expand the brand globally, Global Defense has been signed on to facilitate the growing demand for a modular platform in allied militaries.

“With prospective military and commercial customers, we at Global Defense take care of all the licensing, logistics, compliance, and registrations to transfer product to a new international customer,” Jordan Young, CEO and founder of Global Defense, added. “With our expertise and years of experience, Hydra can do what they do best, make and market these innovative firearms, and we seamlessly manage all the behind-the-scenes export requirements.”
