Spacemonkey Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 If you're still after an Osprey vest I can sell you a good condition used one with two genuine Mk2 ammo pouches (6 mag carrying capacity total) for £60 plus postage to wherever in the world. I have two more in similar condition with one Mk2 ammo pouch each for £50 plus postage. If you want the very rare shoulder and hi/lo neck protectors I got a very good condition complete one with two genuine Mk2 ammo pouches and the medical kit pouch for £100 plus postage. Naturally, neither of these have any kevlar fillers or plates. I can also get you any Desert DPM kit you want including the new UBACS genuine under armour combat shirts. PM me if you are interested..

Grumman Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 nope thats pretty much it. In fact when i was in Basrah airport they didnt even do that! we kept it secured and defended around the clock from when we got there to when we left, they pretty much just minced around telling lies to impress medic chicks. Not that i've got anything against them or anything. @morpcat: check your Pm. Darkchild I spoke to a RAF Regiment WO at Honington late last year and he said exactly the same about you army lads Link to post Share on other sites

Couple pics: 1 2 Not really an issue item that mate. I think Pilots have a holster built into the survival vest, tankies dont really get pistols if I remember correctly. Vanguard/SASS/Rangemaster DPM Pistolholster for shoulder & Belt for the odd ocasions they are issued. Apparently Viper/Webtex drop legs are used by SF but I'm not sure if that is private purchase or issued. Your Pics show Webtex drop legs too. Link to post Share on other sites
Gadge Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 The issue ops vest has a holster built into it. Not a *great* holster but functional. Link to post Share on other sites

twig Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Holsters..... A MOLLE compatible desert drop-leg holster was issued last year but it was pump and not really MOLLE compatible. I didn't even bother trying it on. Normally you'll own see REMFs using them. The PLCE holster is equally bad and these didn't even leave the armourer's iso. Again normally only REMFs would bother with the useless issue tac vest. Most of the lads would use viper or webtex (personally I thought they were pretty websters). A couple of people bought various US ones. Out on the ground lots of guys just use their map pockets with a lanyard attached. I did this occasionally depending on what I was going to be doing or what means of transportation I'd be using. Most of the time I used a Safariland drop-leg; probably the best bit of tactical rig I own, the problem is you have to buy a different one for the various issue pistols. Doh! However they are a serious bit of kit and I'm certainly glad I now own several. Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I spoke to a RAF Regiment WO at Honington late last year and he said exactly the same about you army lads really? ask him how he felt when his unit let 11 weapons get stolen from the camp, as well as 2 sixty foot cranes, prompting the top brass to replace the RAF guard force at the COB with us! Then the plastic infantry got relegated to short range patrols ie. 1km out of the gate then back in. cry me a river flyboys. Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites

Grumman Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 who? Exactly.. everyone seems to forget that the RAF is out there as well. They were 3 RAF Regiment Gunners killed in July 2007 in a rocket attack in Basrah, Iraq. If you're after desert DPM PLCE, check http://www.militarykit.com/product_categories/webbing_plce.htm out. Pretty good selection. Link to post Share on other sites
