le foto sono state fatte tutte durante una singola operazione a quanto ho capito, può darsi che per qualche motivo avessero deciso di farne a meno. In tante altre foto li si vede con una sidearm.
e bello notare che l' eterno M79 è ancora in uso... :)

Effettivamente non avevo notato l'M79, il vintage non passa mai di moda :D

Ma quanto sta bene il dutch tape sugli helmet! Belli anche i numeri riportati, è la prima volta che li vedo in quella posizione..
Bellissime foto, grazie!

Magari OT:
Ma il dutch tape nero?
a cosa gli serve?
-
Non ne ho idea di preciso, ma credo che tra le altre cose possa tornare utile per tappare la bocca a qualche pirata somalo che si lamenta troppo... :asd:
-
Un bondage estremo... ok ho capito!
-
probabilmente per avere un pezzo di duct tape sempre a disposizione.
E uso comune attaccarne 2/3 strisce all'elmetto (o ad altre superfici lisce) con l'ultimo centimetro risvoltato in maniera che sia sempre afferrabile anche con i guanti
-
Grande Petro!
Ma è nero? o è solo l'effetto della foto?
-
boh, l'importante è che faccia quello che deve fare, il colore immagino sia secondario
-
Si beh in effetti non hanno molte pretese in fatto di mimetismo, anche se luccica un po alla fine se su una nave... ;-)
-
Per la cronaca il nome corretto è DUCT tape, dutch vuol dire olandese. :)
-
penso si tratti di "glotape" prodotto dalla Warrior, per esser individuati meglio dal chopper di turno per l'evacuazione
La Warrior è quella ditta che produce i vari ID markers in IR (flag, signal patches, etc.) e fornisce anche il suo materiale in comodo nastro adesivo delle dimensioni del classico duct tape
Warrior GloTape infrared markers are an innovative compliment to troop night vision gear. To the naked eye, GloTape appears to be similar to black duct tape, without a visible reflective glow. When illuminated with IR light or a laser pointer/aimer, GloTape gives a bright reflection visible out to 800 meters. GloTape material has been adapted to appropriately cover an infantry unit from head to foot. Simple and effective, Warrior GloTape helps prevent fratricide through easy and covert identification.
https://warriorglotape.com/images/product_IFF1022_2.jpg
se invece il nastro fosse stato grigiolino anzichè nero, allora si poteva trattare del famoso Thermal duct Tape, utilizzato per essere rilevati dai visori termici

Il più delle volte però mi pare sia del normalissimo duct tape; altrimenti non si spiegherebbe il "risvolto" per facilitarne al rimozione...

Sorry Bro ;)
Bhè.. il Duct Tape può sempre essere utile... Link esplicativo: https://listsoplenty.com/pix/duct-tape-1001 :D
Rimanendo in topic, di Duct fin'ora ne ho visti in Nero , Od e Blu/rosso nelle Killing house.. Volendo ho qualche foto in qualche album..
-
Zio potresti aver ragione, ci avevo pensato anch'io (anche se onestamente non sapevo ell'esistenza del thermal duct tape :))
Però, andando per supposizione, mi verrebbe da pensare che una soluzione come il duct tape IR riflettente sarebbe più idonea a missioni su terra, dove si sta via più a lungo e gli apparati elettronici (VIP, ms2000 ecc...) possono danneggiarsi o scaricarsi e dove c'è più necessità di farsi vedere (medevac, CAS che passa da vicino ecc...)
Per missioni vbss non ne vedo tutta questa grande utilità, oltretutto tempo fa su un altro forum, a proposito della foto di quel mfr con telecamera ed elmetto pieno di duct tape... sicuramente l'avrete presente, ma ora non riesco a trovarle ne nella gallery ne sull'hd) mi è capitato di scambiare qualche pm con un ex mfr che mi ha spiegato la pratica del pezzo di duct tape col "risvolto" sull'elmetto... utilissimo proprio in ambienti come le navi in cui la segnalazione tramite cyalume può essere difficoltosa, ad esempio: Devi buttare una chmelight verde dentro ad una stanza per segnalare che è libera, ma al posto del pavimento c'è una grata e rischia di caderti di sotto... che fai?? lo attacchi ad una parete :D
Altrimenti come protezione aggiuntiva sulle torce per scongiurare accensioni involontarie.
Sicuramente sono soluzioni più macchinose, ma in caso di necessità penso vada bene tutto... :D

Prevedo vendite record per i rivenditori di duct tape prossimamente. :rolleyes:
Vedo comunque che nonostante il passaggio al peq16 non hanno mollato le torcie surefire, in fanteria invece non se ne vedono più molto spesso.
-
una surefire fa sicuramente più luce di un peq, e di sicuro sono più utili a loro sulle navi che ad un fante in mezzo al deserto :D
-
Sicuramente no, dipende dal bulbo. Una qualunque torcia a led cinese della element fa molta più luce della mia surefire a incandescenza per dire. Forse quelli dei peq sono solo IR.
-
Il peq 16/a no, o meglio ha sia l' opzione luce visibile sia un led IR.
-
anel che io sappia, tutte le torcie militari in uso ai marines al momento sono con il bulbo allo xenon, anche perchè con il bulbo a led non potrebbero fare lo switch tra luce visibile ed infrarossa solo chiudendo il tappo del filtro IR (il led per sua natura emette luce monocromatica quindi solo nella gamma del bianco, se è bianco ovviamente).
Il peq16a se non ricordo male è da 100 lumen circa ma non ha la possibilità di mettere un filtro IR (ha solo un illuminatore IR a parte, come dice Jar, ma non ha molta potenza), ma se anche fosse da 120 come la M951 con il P61, quest'ultima ha il vantaggio dell'IR e quindi è preferibile. Poi con la M962 non c'è confronto :D
-
Ok che hanno il bulbo allo xenon ma ne esistono diversi tipi, penso che quella consegnata di base abbia il bulbo da 65 lumen, non da 120.

Che intendi per diversi tipi?
So per certo che nella dotazione standard della M962 c'è un bulbo standard da 120 (MN10) e uno aggiuntivo da 225 (MN11), come per la M900. Sulla M951 ho dei dubbi ma credo sia lo stesso, bulbo standard P60 da 65 lumen più quello aggiuntivo da 120 (P61).
Però ti ripeto, non è tanto il discorso dei lumen, quanto quello dell'illuminatore infrarosso che non potrà mai competere contro una torcia con filtro IR
-
Ok ragazzi... chi compra un Peq 16/a che facciam tutte le comparazioni del caso?
Qui dobbiam vederci chiaro... :D

Petro chiama bumbar'ex e fanne fare subito la replica!!!!:-D
che dire.. sto IAR in fondo non è altro che un .....moderno BAR.....
certo che sostituire un aggeggio da 200rnds con uno che ne tiene solo 30....mah... avranno i loro motivi
allego qua sotto per curiosità l'opinione di un Marine che stavo leggendo su di un forum.....
This bullshit reeks of another Colt LMG turd.
A 5.56mm rifle that fires in full auto? Why? It's been proven time and time again that unless you speed up the ROF ridiculously and toss in a burst limiter... or reduce it to just-like-semi that full auto is mostly useless on Average Joe weapons. I can't think of anybody that uses the 3 round burst in combat unless they're back-against-the-walls-rushed-by-mobs or they're throwing out marking tracers.
In my opinion, infantry primary weapon roles in the US military haven't changed much in the last 40 years.
Submachine guns are in the trash. Pistols are almost non-weapons. Shotguns are like pistols.
Today you've got:
Infantry arm: 5.56mm rifle, M16 / M4 (20" or 14.5" bbl)
"DesMark" arm: 7.62mm rifle, M14 w/ scope (one gun per squad, if you're lucky)
LMG: 5.56mm, M249 (one gun per fire team is normal for combat arms)
GPMG: 7.62mm, M240 (one gun per line squad is normal for combat arms, FSTs have more)
Let's say that the infantry arm (M4) is designed to engage point targets. It's light and compact and good at single shots. It shines in the "every guy can have one" role because it's a great general purpose primary small arm. My 240B gunner had his M4 wrapped up in a breakaway bag and attached to his ruck.
The M249 is a suppressive fire weapon. It's heavier and great for short bursts. It isn't nearly as accurate as the M4 (in my experience) but it gives you massive firepower in a single guy package. I was taught that the M249 is the legs of a fire team, providing suppressive fire for men on the move. If you've got 3 guys with M4s (1 with M203) and 1 guy with a M249, you're toting some serious firepower in a four-man team while still remaining maneuverable (room to trade off, carry special equipment, etc)....
The real question is: why do the Marines need something that attempts to do both at mediocre levels?
If it's light and accurate, it won't do well at bursts because it's not heavy and has a tiny box mag.
If it's heavy and has a big drum mag, you're not going to want to issue it to every guy in your squad.
They're taking two separate weapon concepts and trying to mate them to create The Ultimate Gun.
Maybe they should just go with the Ares Shrike concept.
Heh.
The Minimi is more than satisfactory in non-M249 incarnations such as the Mk46 Mod 0.
ATTACHMENT #1: The 100-round soft-side nutsack starter drum is ideal for in-the-weapon carry.
My M249 gunner carried a 100-round in the gun and 3 200-rounds on his kit . (one on each hip, one hanging off assault pack)
Ignore the twist stock on the gun in attachment #1. Those things are total garbage. Go for the M4-style sliding collapsible ones.
Granted, we never got those (1SG spent the money on printer cartridges) so we rocked the fixed stock the whole time in '06.
The 200 round drums are easy to silence with cardboard and give you immense firepower.
Aftermarket companies manufacture 200 round soft-side drums for those who prefer them.
Combine the appropriate barrel, optics, stock, and mag config for the mission at hand.
Why do we need new shit when the shit we have works with new parts?
Let's refrain from more $800 toilet seats, USMC. C'mon now.
