Whitedingo Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I think it looks kinda silly having the linked rounds going "in" to the box mag.......they'd be feeding into the gun. You need to finish up that Hk21 conversion, fast. Link to post Share on other sites
t3hDesertFox Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 It's in the works. Either going to have a feed port machined for me, and bolted to the reciever, or possibly attaching the feed port to the boxmag itself. The problem with the former, is not 'tapping into' and hop up or other mechanisms, but i think it could be done. Link to post Share on other sites
clmwrx Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 why do you have so many rounds on it anyways? There shoul only be like 5 or 7 between the box and the feeding port Link to post Share on other sites

There shoul only be like 5 or 7 between the box and the feeding port <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because he was looking for a direct belt fed sort of thing, to make it look like the gun was being fed from the belt, and not the box.

Ghost_Rider Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 desert fox... contractors dont wear camo ever if they mixed up with real soldiers, bad things happen <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dude, do you really want me to go through the PMC loadout thread and pick out a bunch of pictures of a Real life PMC's wearing camo? FFS, there's even one of a guy in US desert cam with 'Contractor' over his pocket rather than US ARMY. It's reccomended that they not wear BDU, but some do anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Kipper Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) Contractors may be issued some protective Organizational Clothing and Individual Equipment (OCIE) according to the theater to which deployed, but they will not be issued Battle Dress Uniforms .. The contractor is encouraged to require a uniform appearance among their employees, but the use of current U.S. Armed Forces uniforms is prohibited. These policies are in place for their protection, to distinguish them from combatants. That was written by the DoD after PMCs started to get attacked by insurgents who thought they were soldiers any PMCs who break such rules are undertaking great risk EDIT OCIE is NBC (nuclear biological and chemical) clothing Edited February 2, 2006 by Kipper Link to post Share on other sites

Kipper Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 im sorry, perhaps if were being pedantic i should have said 'smart contractors dont wear camo' or mebe even 'contractors shouldnt be wearing camo' But that fact remains if you wanna do an accurate one ... steer clear.. unless you wanna be shot Link to post Share on other sites

So you can't say wearing camo is 'innaccurate' - it's not, and we have the pics to prove it. PMCs extend far beyond the percieved security guys. Most of those that work in and around US bases (i.e. a huge percentage of non-military in Iraq) will wear DCUs. Primarily doing so to blend in (i.e. so they look like any other person on base, a US soldier). Where you might not want to be readily identifiable is working a PSD cruising around in Iraq. Wearing US camo makes you a target to insurgents (as does western dress and giant SUVs anyway), wearing any other camo means the Joe armed with the Mk.19 or 50cal you're rolling up behind at 120km/h could mistake you for an insurgent and blat you. The Force Protection and Convoy guys have less of a need, one being a giant fixed target, the other being a giant moving target. As evidenced by this photograph of a contractor wearing GROM trousers.

rageman Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I would say looking at that picture and looking at the many other pictures of merc's in Iraq (yes merc's, PMC is just another layer of spin). That what a contractor is wearing makes no bloody difference at all. An insurgent see's something like the poor lad pictured above he'll see a westerner armed with western equipment and clothing... he could just as easily be special forces, hell if your deluded enough to think that America is run by the devil and that what your doing is allah's will you could probably think he was a regular. I would imagine a contractors personal loadout would be that of requirements. What he has access to, and what will help him do the job. There is no definative kit list.

skyler8158 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Most of you guys are far over glamorizing contractors in Iraq; maybe 10% of them have all the cool high speed gear and weapons while the rest have to use decades old AKs and some cheap mag pouches.
