Army SF & SOF Pics

[Chevieblazer]

that's interesting. there was a several pages long discussion about the mk18 and the cqbr and who uses which over in the seal gear discussion thread. the general consensus was that the seals use the CQBR, the various other NSW guys use the mk18

 

to point 2, the only issued sidearm to the seals is the sig 226. even the mk23 isn't any more(exceptions may be missions calling for silenced pistols). of course, like with all SOCOM units, many operators use what they want any way, and they likely get away with it for a long time (deltas and their 416s went on for over a year)

 

and thirdly, and most importantly, he's making an impression of an Army SF operator (see the name of the thread) and while his gear fits a navy-ish SOF, it most definitely doesn't suit any Green Beret

[PlasticMag]

I don't know enough to comment on the Army part, but the SEAL thread is full of a fair bit of misinformation and bad false assumptions. Especially about the Mk18/CQBR difference. Issued =/= used when it comes to sidearms.

ok what about this:

 

[Azulsky]

Please put forth an effort instead of just putting forth random pictures. Its annoying.

 

We cant even see what gear you are wearing and frankly if you dont care enough to put up a list why should we care enough to help out with your request.

And for the last time your gun is the first problem. Go get a M4 with a MIL stock.

?

you did notice that a large number of SOF M4s have crane stocks like his these days?

 

@ jarhead:

seems to go the pmc/SOF-in-civvies. Azulsky is right though, it doesn't show a lot of your gear, that pic

I have seen numerous pictures of U.S. Army soldiers, Army SF operators, and U.S. Navy Seals with crane-type stocks on their M4s.

I can post three or four pics of Rangers with Crane Stocks if you want.

I wasnt bashing the Crane stock, they are fine. Its just the fact that his gun has a cqbr upper that nags me. Only reason i specified MIL stock was because the other default is the LE stock(ugh imho). You tend to see alot more 14.5 inch barrels.

I have seen a few pictures where U.S. Navy Seals and U.S. Army Specail Forces had M4 CQBs. (if that is what you mean)

[Chevieblazer]

you don't like his upper, and therefore you bash his stock? i'm not getting this...

Chevie, one of the best TriColor desert SF Loadouts I have seen in a very long time. Just one suggestion you may want to rock thicker M4 Mag pouches to store more mags. The latest report of issued mags to an SOF team is 10 minimum per soldier.

 

Unless you rock Hi-Caps Or have more mags on you that I didn't notice.

 

Keep em coming. I will post one up very soon.

[aimpoint]

i can see 9 mags atleast and an extra mag pouch on the back panel so he has betwen 9 and 11 on him i think looks good dude

Chevieblazer, that is looking pretty good.

 

Is that an Eagle Ind. CIRAS, or a replica? Is that radio on your back a Toy-Soldier MBITR replica?

[hburn]

Does Army SF use Ranger green or just the Rangers?

[Romeo98]

 

What I'd like to know is what did you use to make the killflash on the Eotech? Or did you get it from somewhere?

That looks pretty pimp!

I have 8 spares for the primary and 2 for the secondary. i used to run 10 m4 mags, but i noticed that i don't really need that many, plus i was told by an ex-seal that i was carrying "way too much sh*t around anyway" that was a guy from utah, btw.

 

@Sgt. Kinnaird:

it's an eagle, and it's OD, not RG.

 

@hburn:

SF use mostly khaki vests, but OD does happen on some occasions

[BoE.Solidius]

Pffft Seals.

 

Its all about the Green Berets out here in Utah that operate with us. I use to roll only 6 M4 mags but after the lecture they gave the team on Mag control and gear I don't go without 12 Mags minimum and I still use them all. Heavy firefights.

[Chevieblazer]

12 Mag minimum? geez! and i thought i had a heavy trigger finger.

not sure if the guy was from UCA or TAC4 (the Brits team anyway). He bested a friend of mine in a knife fight (first and only time he was ever defeated i think). We played in boise once with BOE (april last year) and my buddy knifed Radrockin.

 

Anyways, 12 metal mags is just too much. And cover fire...that's what the saws are there for

12 mag minimum? Even in target rich environments I NEVER go through more than 7 midcaps per game... At that's with me holding down the trigger like a madman.

ahh goodtimes! did you roll with Geist? As for the mags , I am getting the new G&G Mid Cap 86 Rounders to load up on, sick of the spray and pray hi cap. I will stoe plenty of mags and if i need more I will hit up my battle buddy Solid for one of his

 

Plastic mag you should come out to UT and sling Plastic my man. we will put your trigger finger to the test

 

and to stay on topic here is a SF impression of mine

Rad OUT!

[BoE.Solidius]

I rock it for simulation.

They are not metal mags because thats to expensive.

 

And Boise eh I fully remember that game. If you play for MAG we pushed you guys so far back into the valley both times we went to Idaho for a game and we won both games but tell your friend good knife kill. TDF was on our side helping us a big HUA to Team Delta Force. Another thing UCA and TAC4 are completly different teams than BoE. We operate in a combatsim fashion ie: MilSim, they play by slinging BB's.

[Chevieblazer]

No, I was rolling with Hexx, the two guys in multicam from South East Idaho. I was on your side actually. And we got kicked around BAD

[BoE.Solidius]

Dude Chevie I rolled by your side like 3 or 4 times during that first skirmish!
