I know you have your swmp10 and sti widebody, and 338 lapuas. I was wondering, do you use shotguns? sniper rifles, still a NEF? Backup guns? I also remeber you were making a cutom 408 chevey tac psg1. Has this been field tested?

im interested in your complete loadout, as MSD fields the finest gear and i want to buy some for myself

nut -The gear we use is not the best choice for less trained units. It takes many hours in simulations and on the range to deploy this kind of high tech equipment effectively. Putting on a pair of EOTAC pants doesn't make you an Operator. Not by a long shot.

For exmple, take our commo kits. I can not go into the details because all of our commo is totally Classified but each man on the Fast Action Response Team spend six hours at Radio Shack getting trained up on that gear.

To give you a rough idea of what I carry when I gear up for Fast Action Response Team duties:

- SWMP10 in .40 S&W with 12 spare magazines on my load out vest, EOTAC reddot sight, customized Maglite 4-cell flashlight.

- customized STI 2011 in .40 S&W with three spare magazines attached to my drop leg SERPA holster.

- Glock 22 in a chest rig on my vest loaded with a 31-round extended magazine. Six spare magazines on a thigh mount.

- Glock 27 carried small of back in a holster with an integrated spare magazine pouch, which holds a 31-round extended magazine.

- Twin fighting knifes on the belt; I'm to hard on my knifes to use one brand for long, but the Crate & Barrel usually has a good selection of tough serrated knives perfect for this kind of work.

- Two flashbang grenades, two smoke gernades, and two fragmentation grenades, carried interspersed on the belt. We had our grenades special made by our vendor so that they all look identical. That way, when a Tango sees me grab one, he's got no idea whether I'm about to throw a frag or a smoke.

- Body armor technology constantly changes but after hearing great things about ceramic plates some of our guys are now testing that concept in their vests (plates provided free of charge from our friends at Crate & Barrel again). I still believe it is worth the weight to use armorered steel so I continue to use half inch 500 Brinnell plates.

- EOTAC pants

- Oakley sun glasses (or similar, depending on what Sunglasses Hut has at a discount)

- Sears DieHard combat (black) boots

Of course at my level you never wear the same gear twice. Trends and technologys change daily. We have to change with them. The Ray Bans of yesterday became the Oakleys of today. Who knows what we'll be waring next year.



Theirs more of course but that should give you a roufgh idea.

Gecko, did you ever field the chevy tac10 inch? It seems you already have impressive firepower but that would be a truly formidable weapon, or the 50 bmg in an 870 youth stock i heard you suggest in another thread
