The Force Recon & MARSOC Thread

[Vince]

I have a single pic of a Recon Bn guy rockin' the APECS top with regular desert cammies trousers (in Afghanistan).

I have several more in Stateside training

Sorry if i don't spend all my time searching for combat gears on the internet or that I'm not a hiker...

Really was thinking that gaiters were no used anymore... Was a legitimate question.

[Vince]

Time to revive that thread with some new material!

My MBSS besides Brakoo's CIRAS Land



And me





Some mistakes here and there but it's a constant WIP

[Conker]

Thanks to Vince and Drake for the great pics!

[JohnGol10]

That last pic is just awesome. Boss as always guys.

[Frozen Tex]

Vince, Conker, that's some awesome stuff there. I'm quite envious, not just of your gear, but that you can get a few of you together all interested in doing authentic-looking impressions. I try (mostly half-assed, I admit!), but for the most part, our local crew is at best, generic-tactical. Oh, well.

[Sluggo]

Would wearing an MBSS without the PACA soft armor be kosher for a MARSOC loadout?

[Vince]

@Sluggo: Add a retrofit cummberbund from the MSAP kit and yes it has been seen

@Frozen Tex: Thanks, me and Max have been working on those kits for the last 2-3 years so yeah we're quite happy with the results ourselves.

2 leged sex machines, I'm totally joining In

[Frozen Tex]

I just got envious-er.

And Brakoo: In your first pic, there's a guy on the left holding a shotgun (Benelli M3?). Do you know what make (airsoft) it is? I'd love to get one, especially if it's gameable.

[megaman]

I've been waiting to see someone do an impression in the flight suits!! Looks awesome as always you guys!

It's a Tokyo Marui which is pretty gameable but way too light in my opinion since it's mostly plastic.

[Xenos-Fear]

I think I'm going for MARSOC guys... Brother Brakoo, I'm gonna need your help when the time comes... You really kick ass guys ! So do you Conker too ! Very nice setup !

[Conker]

Thanks Xenos! Glad to see you back on the scene!

And now for me, some more pics of a totally different setup:


I still have some work to do, but since Vince (thanks again man!) came with his photo gear this weekend, I decided to share these:

MARSOC greenside is quite hard to do as there's not much photographic references, so I got my inspiration a bit from SEALs and combining that with known MSOB gear.

1. Boonie
2. MCCUU
3. Danner 26025
4. Flight gloves
5. Low-noise headset
6. TEA PTT (ici TCI en remplacement)
7. AN/PRC-148 + blade antenna
8. Petzl Takktika Plus
9. HSGI Warlord V2
10. 4x C-A-T
11. G-Shock
12. 2x IR flags
13. Foretrex 101 + LBT2626A
14. Kelty Falcon 4800 + camo net
15. VIP
16. M-Frames
17. ATS Medical Insert
18. EMT shears
19. IR chemlights
20. Gerber LMF II
    
21. 14.5 SOPMOD
22. SpecterDR
23. Docter
24. AN/PEQ-15

Self-criticism:
- TCI PTT should be a TEA PTT (incoming)
- Medical insert's grab handle is way too visible, next time I'll keep it under the flap
- Face/neck to be painted
- Shouldn't forget the sling, lol!

I'll probably get either a Mystery Ranch 3DAP or SATL instead of the Kelty, too.

PS: The Warlord I'm wearing on these was bought off an active 2nd MSOB operator
