Ruffian72 548 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Do prefer Krebs over all others. HK are ok, yet for quickness, not thinking, just shoot. Nailbomb you're right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruffian72 548 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Getting of subject. Will get vault out before long and take photos. Yet, my favorite .308 now is what I call a quick reaction Red Jacket saiga Will did up for me. It's now my carry rifle when on sheriff's patrol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

langenator 1 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Before I EAS'd I gave all my mags to my buddy who collects them. He's got 40 or some ridiculous number like that. You should see the flaks they got the boys wearing now... ever heard of side SAPI's? :ded: I've still got a flak, I stole it from a hajji translator in Iraq. Shhhh... Oh that sucks... they added more to those damn things? Yup. One in the front, one in the back, one on each side. It's really fun to wear in 130 degree weather. FWIW, and to stray further off topic...I just weighed my IOTV (Improved Outer Tactical Vest-what the Army calls the latest generation body armor, with the side plate holders designed in and the quick release for if you fall in the water. Marines may have something slightly different.) It came in at 38 lbs with all plates, 12 empty mags, and aid pouch. No canteen, camelback, or bullets. Oh, that's for a size Medium-Long (yeah, they size them like uniform tops now, which I appreciate.) The new vest does wear a lot 'lighter' than the old IBA, but I still imagine it'd suck hard patrolling in 130 degree weather. Or at 8000' above sea level in the Hindu Kush. I'm a staff puke (Division/CJTF Future Plans shop, 82nd Imperial), so I'm well past that part of my career. But note to anyone developing gear for grunts: instead of adding new capability, make things that perform the same as what is already fielded, just lighter, less bulky, and/or uses less batteries.
