Italian SF Impression

[Bootneck]

A couple of shots of my Italian COMSUBIN impression.
Smaller versions of the desert loadout were posted in one of Tenda's earlier threads.
Both loadouts are incomplete. First set (desert) - The Wasatch is missing it's plates and looks a little saggy and I'm wearing the wrong boots. Second set - My first line is missing.

Nice loadout mate.

Don't see much, if any, Italian SF loadouts.

[urs]

Very nice loadout. Just love that desert camo.

I am working on a Col Moschin loadout.

[tenda]

is the guy on top wearing the wasatch/weesatch?

[Sir Zach of R.]

COMSUBIN is not SF, it is SOF (Special Operations Forces.) The Green Berets are the only SF in the world. Example: 10th Special Forces Group (A). It is copyrighted in a sense. Everything else is SOF (unless you've been through the Q-Course.)

Are you sure about that?, every SAS / SBS book I have read, they never refer to themselves as SOF only as Special Forces.

I can provide quotes.

Zach seems to be confusing "the world" with "the United States." The US Army Special Forces are the only SF in the US military, true, but most of the rest of the world uses SF to describe all the units we call SOF.

It's an HSGI Wasatch.

As has already been noted, SF/SOF is a US only distinction.

C'mon Shrek, back me up....

[Bootneck]

I guess I'd better write the UK MOD and let them know they are in "copyright" violation:

United Kingdom Special Forces - http://www.army.mod.uk/uksf/index.htm

A simple google search or a look through nearly any publication dealing with international "special forces" will show you that the term is in common use. The distinction between SF and SOF only has any relevance in the US where the US Army Special Forces have a lock on the SF title.

[maundy]

In Australia we have the SFDRS, which is Special Forces Direct Recruiting Scheme.

After you do that you become special forces.

[Tattico]

[bishop1]

Besides the camo you cant get anymore American than that, CQBR barrel, EOtech, 6004, the Wasatch, what looks to be a Maxpedition dumper, and Paraclete, awesome gear though.

[Bootneck]

Gee bishop1, maybe you could tell me what the Italian COMSUBIN operators are wearing in Iraq these days? I'd hate to think I'm doing this all wrong.

:cantbeli:

Italian GOI operator in Iraq

Or, maybe you can call up Gene at HSGI and he can tell you how he shipped them a bunch of Wasatch's and some custom pouches. So they can look more American...

[bishop1]

I didnt mean to sound that holstile about it, nor did i know that foreign operators were so fond of our stuff(but it makes sense obviously). But c,mon, you gotta admit, if it wasnt for the came that guy could be **insert your fav spec ops unit here**. SO sorry if it sounded bad, i didnt know thats how they chose to equip themselves. BUt, i did learn something new today.

....last week on tv i've seen a documentary about italian special forces and one of them was dressed with wasatch like the men on the pic's......... :P

[Bootneck]

No worries, my bad. Just in a pissy mood this morning.

Its cool, no worries, that alot of money in gear though. Was it stil the Wasatch in the 2nd pic with Paraclete pouches, or was it a different rig as well?

[soma]

What's that thing on the right side of the barrel/handguard? Laser sight?

[tenda]

...the pouches...are from t.t. the tasctical looks like a paraclete .... :roll:

[Bootneck]

In the 2nd set of pics (temperate pattern) I'm running A Paraclete RAV with Paraclete pouches (with the exception of the hydration carrier and SF Medical Pouch which are TT and the Maxpedition Dumper). In the desert pics it's a Wasatch.

[bishop1]

Damn dude, you really have spent some money on your gear huh? Was the RAV new, or could you avoid paying $700 for it by getting it used or from an individual as opposed to a store? How do you like it, was it worth the money?

[sla8485]

What headset is that you're using?

[ShadowNeo]

looks like a PRR (personal role radio)

[Bootneck]

Correct.


looks like a PRR (personal role radio)

[shrek]

Soma: I think you might be looking at the sight for the M203.

[shrek]

BTW: that is some Sweet f..king desert camo!

[ZoneOne]

Where did you get that headset

I totally forgot the name of the headset now -- but i was trying to get one on E-bay for sometime.

Plus i need a 7-pin radio to have the damn thing to work

But that is really what im going for....

Please gimme some info on where to get it and a price

I just read above that its a PRR

When i searched online I was told it's a
RACAL Clansman single tranducer headset

Some guys are making a "full metal" Beretta SCP 70/90 using a M4 Gear Box & common M16 Mags, have a play with the prototype myself, I'm not a fan in Italian Gears, but I have to tell you I've change my opinion over the gun instantly. Too bad it's BIG Bucks though... abt US$ 1300/ (Looks like they are selling it to Italy... probably the biggest market there...)

Ok -- can someone please fill me in on some info on WHERE to buy that HEADSET

my above post mentions it before


Please help a brother out

[Bootneck]

eBay - search Bowman or PRR headset.

Or you you can do what I did and order a TASC-II from Lightfighter and have it wired for almost any radio you want.

[ZoneOne]

well figuring the TASC-II from Light Fighter is 500$ I will take my chances with E-bay

Prices on E-bay are roughly 50-60$

Did you pay the 500$ from Light Fighter?
