The Force Recon & MARSOC Thread

[MilanWG]

Can you take some details of your rifle - looking great

[JohnGol10]

Holy shit Conker, you look like you're ready to kick ass and take names. Damn!

That looks incredible though.

Conker secured a huge batch of 3rd Recon pics and yeah RRV, CIRAS and MBSS are still used.

Also, most Force Recon Platoon of MEU still use all of the FSBE kit

Any pics proving that the Recon Marines still use RRV, CIRAS and MBSS from Fsbe 2 kit, buddy please ? That would be awesome, cuz' I'm sad to notice that on all the recent Recon pics I've seen, they're using exclusively SPCs.

Another thing, what you mean by "most Force Recon of MEU still use all of the FSBE kit" ? They all do use all of the FSBE II kit. Maybe you've seen something else ? I'd be interested to see what, then.

Great pictures too, Vince.
Conker, you already know what I think 'bout your loadout buddy

Sorry for my english guys, I'm doing my best.

PS. Gonna see the Ice Hockey match France vs Canada on the 24th of April, at Paris Bercy Don't be too rude with us

[Conker]

Once I have some spare time on MSN, I'll have something for you

And yes they do stil use FSBEII a lot

[Vince]

Received my Pantac MBSS earlier today... First piece of replica kit since I first began in airsoft.

At least all pouches on it are all FSBE. Will have to bring it to the sandblasting at work to give it a nice used look

Nice to read that !

Okay Conker, thanks !

[Yannos]

Fail pictures are fail I know. I'll try to take some better one tomorrow with better lighting so I don't fuck it up but oh wells.
The colors are wayyy off on the pictures -_-. But you get the Idea.

[Conker]

I'd put a standard trigger guard and swap the grip for a TD (or grippod, but I know you hate 'em) but otherwise looking good!

[Yannos]

Yeah the trigger guard.. Never actually gave attention to this one LOL. I also have a CQC Sling plate that I have to put on.

I wonder what's missing. Look at the cloned tree.

Are you shure this pic is a fake?
I found it at WilcoxInd http://www.wilcoxind.com/

I was pretty sure that pic was the HQ Version/from the same setting as the one pic from this article: http://www.tactical-life.com/online/...battle-rattle/

If you look at the tree, there's some weird looking bluryness. Also check the right glove, underneath the ris and on the PEQ, it's all Blury. Like if someone was standing next to this guy and they just 'shopped him out of it.

but could be also just an effect with the camera lense and dust, I don't know. ^^

EDIT : On the othre picture, not the one you posted.

[r0bl]

Yeah i see
that could be because the picture was a snapshot from the video @wilcox

[Conker]

Nothing overly spectacular, just a small update based on the few corpsmen pics I've stumbled on recently.

This thread needed a bump anyways .



Notes: This will mostly be worn with an LBT1562A medical pack. When I'll have the pack, the tourniquet shown here on the CIRAS pad would be on the pack's strap. Back isn't shown as it's empty (other than FSBEII hydration pouch and TCI MAST) for comfortable pack wear. Sides are kept slick.

All nylon (except LBT2626A) is FSBEII. CIRAS is early gen (green tag, year unknown), pouches are late 2007/early 2008

EI CIRAS
EI Frags (x2)
AI MBITR

EI .45 (x3)

Surefire G2
Benchmade Nivramus

TEA Universal (fake)

EI Hydration pack
TCI MAST

Got some inspiration from these two pics, but obviously tailored to my own preferences:

... Would a Marine wearing standard MCCUU (Woodland in this case) under a plate carrier (such as, saaay... a CIRAS!) be wearing the collar up (to protect the neck from chaffing against the straps, etc) or collar down (for comfort/breathability, etc). Would it just be a matter of personal preference? Google Images wasn't my friend today...
Also, is the wearing of shemaghs around the neck common? I have one, as well as a stretchy-knit neck gaiter, bandana, do-rag, multi-purpose kinda thing in Coyote Brown.

Just wonderin'. I'm guessing that some of you with vast photo archives (Conker?) would have some idea of what's common. Thanks for any response.
