Cheech Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 But the 50 cal is just the same as it's always been. No kidding, the Browning design is about 90 years old. Almost a century with essentially the same weapon. Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alab32 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Some of the pictures that Alab posted there was some massive gear all over him.How heavy is all that shit?I think its about 70lbs or so if i recall correctly. Like Chevy said, you get so used to it its like it isnt even on anymore. And i only wore ALL that crap on a few missions, other than that i was in the smaller vest you saw me in in most of the pics. I was not Army so i could get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
