Operation: Restore Hope Loadout

[steviebleckley]

Actually you should use the dcu ( three color ) not the dbdu ( six color) . The six color dbdu phased out right after troops got back from the gulf

[Jonfavia]

Your chocolate chips are correct, helmet and chin strap correct, boots are, pads aren't, gloves not, rifle somewhat, and you need the Alice mag pouches and a butt pack. Other than that my friend your good

@EViLxCompanyx561

Thanks bro, I really appreciate it.

[midland52]

what brand is your m4

[JarheadAirsoft]

@midland52

WELL

[Oxstayne]

The movie "Black Hawk Down" follows Operation Black Serpant, not Restore Hope.

[JarheadAirsoft]

Black Serpant was during Restore Hope. Restore Hope was the reason we were in Somalia.

[Oxstayne]

@JarheadAirsoft Yeah I know. I am just saying the Black Hawk Down incident was a product of Black Serpant.

[JarheadAirsoft]

@Oxstayne

oh.

[DAOfanatic]

@JarheadAirsoft tri color desert with 6 color helmet cover :)

[SuperMike82]

@JarheadAirsoft Actually it was called Gothic Serpent, not Black Serpent. Just an F.Y.I.

[USAFFuturePilot]

Now this is bad-ass! Well done. Un button the top button. No serviceman buttons it, so why would you?

[BasterdAirsoft]

I like it, you fit right in to the Somalia theme....EXCEPT.... (and this is considering your into the marines) marines wore a PASGT woodland camo plate carrier with their LBC (your web gear) over it. Just sayin but you got a like from me.

[JarheadAirsoft]

@BasterdAirsoft

yeah, i don't have enough money for a pasgt plate carrier so i'm just stickin with this.

[BasterdAirsoft]

@JarheadAirsoft Well I still think you look pretty legit. Semper fi do or die gungho gungho!

[smallpaul1995]

your canteen is supposed to be on ur right butt cheek lol

[super64mandown]

now all you need is the lightweight tac vest

[Martzx3193]

Very nice setup man, I like the good old fashioned ALICE equipment. I sport it myself on occasion. You actually have the look correct if you are going for a period US Marine, just missing the PASGT flak vest.

[super64mandown]

@Martzx3193 hes not a marine haha and they didnt wear PASGT flak vests? what are you talking about.

[Martzx3193]

@super64mandown In the early 1990's, directly after the Gulf War. The standard issue equipment for a soldier of this era was 6 color desert "chocolate chip" BDU, ALICE web gear, PASGT helmet and vest.

[super64mandown]

@Martzx3193 you sir are wrong. we stopped using flack vests somtime in the late 70s early 80s. my dad was switched from that to the neew bullet proof balistic vest which still kept the "flack" stopping power but much lighter and easier to use. that was also when they stoped using the steel helmet. i have all of the correct gear from 1940s to now. dont think i dont know this. and a real flack vest is hard to use in airsoft, i would reccomend just getting an airsoft vest

[Martzx3193]

@super64mandown You probably are correct. I know this material quite well too. The PASGT systems were issued in 1983 and ran all the way up until the late 1990s for the vest and into OIF/ OEF for the helmet before the Army switched the the ACH/ MICH. The marines switched to the Lightweight Helmet which has the same design as the PASGT more or less. The vest that was then used was the Interceptor Body Armor by Point Blank.

[Martzx3193]

@super64mandown Operation Restore Hope was in 1993 and am merely noting his attention to detail.. nothing more.. I have done my research.

[super64mandown]

@Martzx3193 ahh ok

[Martzx3193]

@super64mandown Reason I said US Marine was because during the actual Operation Restore Hope in 1993, they typically used this equipment where as Rangers (if we have seen or read Blackhawk Down) used the newer 3 color desert pattern with their own exclusive Ranger Body Armor in woodland camouflage. They still had 6 color desert helmet covers because of the transition however.

[super64mandown]

@Martzx3193 yes but his impression isnt a marine impression, i belive he was trying to go army

[vjrap]

@super64mandown army ranger

[dillonforemanm4a1]

nice dude im making a blakc hawk down loadout to... but remeber they used 3 color BDU's and a 6 color helmet cover

[JarheadAirsoft]

[dillonforemanm4a1]

@JarheadAirsoft it happens

[Airsoftattack123]

Cool gear bro, the web gear looks great with your loadout. Your voice sounds deeper.

[JarheadAirsoft]

@Airsoftattack123

Thanks. Yeah it dropped just the other day. It's pretty cool.
