British SF equipment question..

[lightfire]

Yea, I know how that sounds..

Anyway,
I was only looking for particular pic of british SF (probably SAS) in Iraq, standing near the bridge, aiming at someone over the river.

He had this simple and primitive bag on him, for additional ammo most likelly. There was a comment, like..hundreds of pounds are spent on high tech equipment and this guy from SF uses a bag for 5 quid, you can buy on a bazzar.

So anyway I just wanted to find that particular pic, and to show as an example in another forum. No loadout BS related :) Is there any name for such bags? no, realy, no loadout BS...


I tried the 'search' obviously, but somewhy it doesn't want to respond for keywords - it redirects to blank page (it's a conspiracy!! p-))

So if anyone remember that pic, could you please post it and we'd be over with this thread..

cheers

It's a claymore bag. If any of you highspeed, low drag Airsoft dudes want to go out and buy them...

Nowdays I've seen bigger ones, like this one:

I gues that's an addapted variant from smth else as well?

Just about every soldier uses cheap and easy (yet effective) solutions. Why spend x pounds on some super duper high speed piece of kit that's premium charged because it comes from the US and has "tactical" in the name, when you've got a free and effective solution to hand? Case in point, the claymore bag. I used to use the resealable plastic bags that boxed ammo came in as waterproof pouch liners, I've seen old pattern water bottle pouches rigged up as ammo link holders and rigged to the side of a gimpy, it all works and doesn't require a paypal account.

It's not an adapted anything. It's a respirator pouch used as a respirator pouch.

Those claymore bags are bloody brilliant. It can be easily worn with your regular webbing/assault vest and is great for quickly getting rid of empty mags.

errr....... Gas mask bag thingy... I'm issued one and I don't even know what to call it.

I'm the complete opposite. I hated those claymore bags. For some reason they always fell apart on me.

Really? Mine has held up really well. Going on 3 years now.

[ShotOver]

Here you guys go, those pistol holsters in that pic of the British Operators...where would one look to find some like that? Molle ofcourse.

[dacanadianbomb]

They look like Serpa holsters to me, although I could be wrong.
Try optactical.com,entrygear.com or check out the great kit vendors list in teh equipment &gear forum.

[ShotOver]

Ah ha, was right under my nose the whole time. Cheers mate.

[SARGE!!!!]

Picture of the three guys wearing ACU. The guys on the flanks. Are they Brits?

[Chops]

Look at title of thread. What do you think mate?

[SARGE!!!!]

Cheers Chops......schoolboy error.Just got off a night shift. Can't be expected to read as well as look at pictures......

[Chops]

Ha ha right you are! :)

[Bamse]

holsters are not serpa. They're SRB with what i guess is some kind of MOLLE adapter;

A ****ing claymore bag. I might chuck one from the shed over the shoulder, wander down to the Campbell front gate, take a pic a set a 'airsoft trend'.:roll:

[MaverickCowboy]

Look at title of thread. What do you think mate?

then why the US flag on the middle man's arm?

[TallGuy]

Because he's an American, the other guys are Brits.

[MaverickCowboy]

why do they have ACU's OD vests and M4's?

[TallGuy]

They can wear whatever they want. The SAS has been using M-16s(and variants) since the 60s.

[MaverickCowboy]

Why not? They can wear whatever they want. The SAS has been using M-16s(and variants) since the 60s.

The weapon on the right is a CQB Diemaco. Look at the barrel and the carrying handle/rear sight
The carrying handle is 100% diemaco model

Looks like an M4, but isnt..
The Blades dont seem to use the M16-Family Rifles anymore (C-7 or similar), but instead go with the 16 Inch L119A1 Rifles.

HK 417 and respectively 417 seem to be getting popular aswell.
