could you tell me or show me a true " Rhodesian Tactical Vest "? See, an airsoft store here in california claims to have " Rhodesian Vest ", the store is airsoft extreme
Tactical vests??? Not even invented at the time - the guys did most of the business in shorts, super-pro tackies and a T shirt! Send me the address of the store as a matter of curiousity please?
@msasauk Okay but what about the gear the Rhodesian Army used, was it basically British in nature or was it just whatever was comfortable, oh the store(s) are evike dot com or airsplat the same.
In the early days (as you can see in someof the older video clips) they guys did not wear camo - just 'greens'. The special pattern later adopted was unique to the Rhodesian Forces - not based on any Brit design, and is much sought after by collectors these days! Thanx for the store names - will have a mosey over sometime - there were plain 'army green vests (singlets) that the guys also wore sometimes - either to keep cool in the heat, or under shirts in winter for warmth.
FN FAL: one of my favorite .308 battle rifles.

Stood up to a communist insurgency and what did we Western nations do, helped the insurgents. Shame.
