"Shooters Depot", a Division of 9999 Holdings, Inc., was created in 1988 by George Koumbis, an "out of the box" thinking designer and Olympic shooter, addressing the needs of the North American Market.

The need for better new products became evident and the Company expanded to produce such products.

Designing systems and solving basic problems became the Company's strong point, resulting in product demand throughout the United States.

The A.R.I.E.S. System was Patented in 2008, a revolutionary approach to silencing weapons, solving most fundamental Industry problems, creating a need for the Company to expand Internationally. The system was successfully installed and exhaustively tested in all major weapon systems used by the Globe's Military and Police.

"Shooters Depot" introduced the A.R.I.E.S. System to the World's Defense Market and qualified civilians. First at the Defendory 2008 in Athens, Hellas, then at the "Shot Show 2009" in Florida, the NDIA SO/LIC 2009 Special Forces Symposium in Washington, DC, and in the DSEi 2009 in London, England.
