Gadge Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 My point exactly. Its a political reconstruction to make a point. They just wanted a generic 'soldier' image. Link to post Share on other sites
WildCard Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Quick question (watching an Ebay auction ) Ospray with chestrig: yay or nay? The MLCE pouches for the Ospray are quite expencive so i was wondering if anybody's seen pictures of this in use? Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yay. Buying pouches for it is quite a recent thing. Most of the older pictures showed them wearing chest rigs or PLCE over osprey. Link to post Share on other sites
maccrage Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Yay, necropost!! What sort of pouches would a GPMG gunner use? Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well there's no specific PLCE pouch for the 50 round drum mags I'm aware of, and other than those they just carry the ammo in belts, so pretty much any LBE configuration would do I suppose. They might well be carrying normal 5.56 mags as well so presumably the bog standard double ammo pouches. Would also need somewhere to store lots of oil, cleaning materials and a few spare parts, but I couldn't tell you how that's done. Link to post Share on other sites
ishikiri Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Quick question (watching an Ebay auction ) Ospray with chestrig: yay or nay? The MLCE pouches for the Ospray are quite expensive so i was wondering if anybody's seen pictures of this in use? I think its pretty common for them to use Osprey+Chestrig/PLCE* instead of the Osprey pouches because you have to keep your Osprey & Helmet with you at all times regardless of where you are in country in case of motars (which happen once or twice daily on most bases). So its easier to carry your Osprey with you and then just pull a vest over the top when you need to, especially if you are in a hurry in one of the forward bases, rather then remove and attach half-a-dozen-plus pouches. *DarkChild mentioned earlier in this thread that the only people who carry PLCE now are Gimpy/Minimi gunners who need the big pouches for their ammo chains, and newbs who don't know about vests/MLCE etc. So if you're going for a Gimpy/Minimi loadout then grab a belt and add as many pouches that will hold the ammo boxes as you can carry.
