Thx again for those nice pics, He219!Originally Posted by He219
Question: can the Fallschirmjäger choose what kind of G36 they would like to use? You see the standard G36 as well as the K in this pic.
Edit: or is the dude with the G36K from a Fallschirmspezialzug? I'm not sure, but I thought all infantry units were being issued the K.

As for the G36 we both use the A1 and the A2. The heavy platoon also got some Ks with AG36s and EoTechs. Saw one with a Hauptfeld from my company.
The Spezialzug is using Ks, but last year the LRRP school in Pfullendorf collected nearly all Ks within my battalion. I don't know if we get them back or if we got them back already hence I'm not in my home base at the moment.
There were rumors that all drivers get Ks, but it never happened. The Wiesel crews received MP7s I guess.
I've got no numbers for the MG4, but my company still had about 7 in storage while most parts were pulling security in Kunduz. I don't know how many they took with them or if they took weapons from my battalion at all.
even if they're 26ers () you really see the difference between an Infantry Soldier and the "others" in the earlier pics. finally.
Thanks for the picture guys. I gotta tell you, whenever I see a picture of a German soldier, they always look snappy.
Now, i'm from the Philippines and I don't know how to properly ****nounce "Bundeswehr" (did I get the spelling right?). Unfortunately, all of those help-you-how-to-****ounce-sites are blocked here in the office. So can someone help me?
Ha! thanks He. Well, keep the pics coming guys.
Your point being what? Functionability is a basic requirement for your gear, not the look or let alone the price.This one...
...looks like that 23€ horsecrap vest. (http://www.asmc.de/de/Militaerausrue...schwarz-p.html)
and a 25€ vest wil not fullfill your main requirement. Period. Especially that one.
Quoted for truth.
What do you mean with difference? When it comes to Afghanistan the ballistic vests are the same I guess. (except the older Bristol versions in desert Fleck). A good amount of the gear is bought on their own.
In Germany it's no question due to the transformation the 31s are part of the forces of stabilization (Stabilisierungskräfte) while the 26r are part of the forces of intervention (Eingreifkräfte).
Bull**** if you ask me, the guys following us are not equipped as good as we but have to do the same job in general.
Wiley X goggles, gloves etc...

Germany was divided after World War II into zones governed by each of the four Allied victors _ Britain, France, Russia and the U.S. The three western sectors became West Germany, while the Russian sector became communist East Germany. The two nations were separated for more than four decades, until after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and official reunification in 1990.
