USMC M240 gunner impression, Operation Steel Curtain, Iraq 2005








My gunner impression, going for a late Iraq war look, specifically Operation Steel Curtain, Iraq 2005 (hence the old style Intecptor vest).

I used the M240 at the start of the day but I admit I started flagging and ditched her for the M249! Pussy I know.

Real Steel kit: Inteceptor vest (heavy mutha but comfortable, pleased to know it can take a 9mm round according to the manual)
LWH (extra large size, man it was hard to get this out of the states!)
Black hawk desert boots
CB Bijan knee pads
camelbak hydration pouch
camelbak mechanic gloves
4 x SAW pouches

ACM Serpa holster
ACM Rhino mount

Echo 1 M240 with upgrade barrel and hop rubber
A&K M249 with upgraded barrel and hop
