+1.  Canada needs to phone up Black Hills and strike up a deal to manufacture mk 262 mod 1 or just buy the stuff off the shelf.  I'm sure there will be hysteria from JAG claiming its a hollowpoint design.  I even know some SF guys who aren't allowed to use it because their chain flinched... I...

Yeah, I need one so does Keld. Thanks for the offer. You can email me your shipping address or you can order them and I can paypal or e transfer the fundage.

Hey Kev, how did you order to the APO? Need some MLI shits but it wont accept APO addresses.

At least in Iraq with the US army it's either a water bottle or a warning shot, which would a driver prefer?  There are also other alternatives that work better than water bottles - 26mm flare guns, pencil flares, paintball guns, flashbangs.  The problem with a water bottle is that if you can...

Shipping for items to the American APOs is the same as sending it to NYC, NY.

Have you guys ever tried getting an APO address through the US mil? They will usually give one to anyone who asks if you go to the post master.  I've recieved items in as little as 6 days on a FOB.

"Tell ya what, Big Red, you can take your old webbing.  Good on you.  " Nah, I'll just use my CIRAS. "Why don't SOF units use it? " Because its a POS. "They do a different (though similar) job to you and me. " Our jobs are not even remotely similar. "Hell, they have longer hair and...

4 or 5 times I've seen Canadian soldiers in Iraq. I believe they are on exchange.

Time your reloads from a TV. They are slow. An empty weapon can get you killed. Your TV cannot hold as much equipment as it needs to hold properly. If the TV is such a great piece of kit why are SOF units not emulating it?  Surely there isn't anything better out there ::)

"Suppose "normal rate" of fire, by all at once.  What is that: 10 rounds per minute?  Even with 150 rounds per soldier, that's 15 minutes!  Rapid rate is what: 20 rounds per minute?  That's 7.5 minutes of fire.  "Mad Minutes" only waste rounds, and are a pet peeve of mine!" You think in a...

You are wrong.  As he said there are guys who made it in before the rule change and they do work for BW, not other companies. Yes, BW does have GS who hires foreigners, but there are foreigners working for BW from several countries.  Or are the guys in their old GROM uniforms Americans?  :P

Just to add, I havent heard of anyone carrying the Hemcons issued besides SF types. I believe the cost is prohibitive for them to be handed out in individual first aid kits for the entire army if Quickclot does the job for alot less money.  They also don't have a very long expiry date.

I used a Hemcon on a laceration requiring stitches that a pressure dressing wasn't stopping. The Hemcon stuck to the blood and stopped the bleeding.  I believe they are worth about $150 for a 4"x4" dressing, but I didn't pay for mine.

I've got the Samsung sport camera and have used it in Iraq, it works Okay.  Really the only off the shelf digital package you can buy.

I work with a South african who says in contacts they sometimes fired the 60mm while lying on thier back with their head pointed towards the enemy to avoid getting shot.

What is the point of wearing a plate carrier with FAKE plates? Is this for an airsoft event? I was issued a TT plate carrier, it was okay but cut too long for large plates so guys had to pad the bottom few inches or fold the bottom. Worked well underneath local clothes.  Have also worn the...

I was going to trade for one (pure LCF) until the crew chief told me it wasnt armoured at all, just a piece of plastic. He said they are going to make an armoured version however.

Use white gun tape, the same way you cam anything else you want white in the winter.

Please....when you're rolling down Tampa at 30 km/h in the turret of a humvee trolling for IEDs the last thing you should be worried about is public relations. I'd wear one if I rode in a turret all day if it was comfortable.  One of the big complaints with the lvl 2A armoured glass visors is...

Fortunately Questar now imports G19s with a barrel that exceeds 106mm.  That's the route I'd go if I were buying another Glock in 9mm. Most people find that a 19 points a little better than a 17.
