I've always been told that the medics are going to blood type you regardless of what your tag, velcro, etc says.

Has anybody welded on pintle mounts for the air sentries so they can have a c6 or c9 mounted? It's pretty common to see multiple 240s on the back of the Strykers.

Alot of units in Iraq have been using the face shields for the last couple years. I talked to a few guys and they seem to like them. They commented that most of the time their ballistic eye wear was being thrown off by IED blasts, so at least with the visor they had double protection.  Obviously...

Wrap them around your belt loop and put them in your pocket.

Stupid to issue anything but AKs outside of Iraqi SOF units. As soon as they get issued the weapons, they'll be sold.

For $25 new the grip was likely a airsoft fake. A huge percentage of the KAC stuff out there is airsoft ripoffs, panels, grips, rails, etc.

My plates weigh half the amount yours do and provide greater protection. How's that for a comparison?  A piece of hardened steel will save your life too, it doesn't mean its the best plate to be hauling around. AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH.

The issued PPE sucks.  You would be hard pressed to buy after market gear that does not surpass the capabilities of the issued goggles, "frag" vest, plates, etc.  I don't see how the CF could deny an injury claim or pension if you had data to support the items you wore eg. Oakely's/Bolles...

I guess when they can learn to use a toilet like civilized people they can be allowed to share NATO toilets. I've seen locals stop working, drop trou, and shit on the ground next to their work, pull up thier pants and keep working. There's a simple solution to this. Portajohns with toilet...

Theres a guy on the Arfcom equipment section who does that for US soldiers using underarmour or 5.11 undershirts and combat shirt sleeves.

Looks awsome.  Can't wait to get issued a set by Mr. Jack Daniels once this stuff hits theatre. ;D

::) BS. Alcohol helps guys relax and talk about things they wouldn't otherwise speak about.  A good bender every now and again keeps people sane.

The ones in Iraq do not look like that. They are not on stands, they are camoflaged with spray styrofoam and emplaced in curbs, barriers, rocks, dirt, etc and often deployed in arrays.  They do not look like they came from a legit arms factory.  Most guys here would class an EFP as a *type* of IED.

Neither the baking sheet IED or EFP are new to Iraq, they have been around a couple years. Seems like the media is just picking up on them. They can be easily made locally, a small machine shop can turn out the copper or if that is lacking, steel. In the south many have come from Iran, but the...

This would also be my guess. It looks like it's missing a venturi as the backblast would not be nice that close to your shoulder.

To put the irons in the bottom third of the Eotech window you'll want a Larue eotech mount. It will also come in handy so your Eotech doesn't fall off your rifle.

Would something like the cooling system that racecar drivers have in their fireproof suits be feasable?

I see from the pics our friends from SWAT are there. Get some!

Heheh, yeah the article not the post.

The initial post is bullshit.
