    Chest Rig vs Tac vest

    Just a question for dropzone, how much real estate is there on your modular chest rig? how many pouches can you fit? I was thinking of 3 triple mag pouches, two C9 pouches with grenade pouches piggybacked, as well as one or two field dressing pouches and a rolly polly dump pouch. Also, do you...

    Iraq War Weaponry Essay paper.

    I am a second year history major at the University Of Alberta. I am writing a research paper on weaponry currently being used in the Iraq war. I am confident in my knowledge of the weapons (M16A2, M4, M240B, AK47/74, etc), however I need some decent sources. Currently all mine are off of the US...

    Running Shoes Recommendation

    I wear Asics Gel 1100, they are almost all mesh, so the feet stay cool, but still manage to keep a comfortable and stable grip on my foot. They work really well for me.

    "CADPAT"-ish Airplane (could be: Hmmm, in uniform or air force sub-board?)

    the theroem is that the top of the plane is dark, while the bottom is a light color. this is to confuse the enemy, as if they are looking up at you from the bottom, you blend in with the sky, and if they are looking down at you, you blend in with the ground.

    In-Cockpit Video: Bird Strike

    The unfortunate deckhand was not sucked completely through the engine. What you see in that video exiting through the exhaust is his clothes. he was trapped up against the front cone holding the fan blades on. I had though the same when I first saw that video, but I later saw a documentary on...

    Small Pack Issue

    I have a couple of problems with the new SPS. First, rather than hugging your back, and curving with your spine to feel comfortable, it just sits there like a jerrycan with straps. Even with light loads (around 10-20lbs) after a short while I can start to feel the strain of the stupid thing...

    front hand gard on C-6

    I'm sure that is just as safe and effective as firing the C6 from the shoulder. Lets give it a try. Hey, and while we are at it, lets fire the 60mm mortar while balanced on the thigh in the standing position too. Its got that curved base plate... it should fit nicely on the meaty part of a...

    New CADPAT Cbt Gloves

    I am not a big fan of the new leather cadpat gloves, I find they lack dexterity, as well as I cant fit a liner under them. The mortar glove though, its like the southbound end of a northbound cat. they feel like a winter weight flight glove, and work really well. Grippy leather palm, Relativly...

    I've found that there are Two varieties of hatch kneepad. one version has three grommets holding the cap on, and the other has four. the version with four grommets has padding that wraps partially around the back of the knee to add more comfort. I've used them plenty, and have not found a...

    Pet Peeves

    The painfully left wing attitude of the university campus. "so, like, are you like, in the army or something?" or "could you like, shoot that guy for me?"
