Visit them online today at mainmilitary.com. That's main, like the state, military.com. We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the... You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm, so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm. Keep our country deep. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit so their children will be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores. And send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children were in fear? Both sons of the Republic arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God-given right to torture freedom, burning bright. As I awoke he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. He stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep. What would be your answer? He called out from the grave. Dill the land of the free. Gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke and I'm Betcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and behind the lines in occupied territories, pre-radioed. 4MG.com, Indianafreedomtalkradio.com, Indianafreedomtalkradio.com. Boy, I didn't think that came out right. And we're on AM and FM microstations, C, base station, ultra-net hallmark in golden spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Today what has been a very busy week, here it is Friday already and guys, we still have a lot to do. I understand they're getting wet up north. Most all the sites, the Oghammer Ranges have intermittent rain, but they're not canceling anything. Of course, what they're doing is running the cycles. Even if it does rain to a degree, because you'll be shooting under all conditions. So congratulations, we trained. Which control does not change under a situation like that. So the big thing is that they're keeping an eye on apparently a big front to the west. It's dropping down in the middle of the state and towards Saginaw right now. Of course, we've seen here from the middle of the state, there are storms in all directions, guys, from where we're standing right here in this area, compass. Well, one of them is coming in from the north. It's a little darker out there, Don, so we'll see how that persists, and whether or not we actually get some more rain slash moisture. What's it like in your neck of the woods? What's the date today? What's jumping off the wall, sir, please? It's the 12th of 2016. Great day, if you like, standing in this humidity, you know. Deep into the political sea here, and... Sometimes you hear me say, I hate technology, but boy oh boy, I just love what it's doing to Hillary, Mark. I just tell her, too bad more people don't, uh, they're looking at her or what they're hearing. Watching this, by the way, we gotta keep reinforcing this. There's two characters to watch. One is the, uh, black individual. He is pretty much the primary handler. The voice of Sull. Say, really, the voice. Talks to Hillary, he says. If you don't think so, we've already watched that video. But there's the other guy. And the more I look at other still pictures and some of the other videos, where they have some shots from behind where they're showing her being helped up the steps, being difficult time using the steps or at least being coordinated enough to use them. The individual that shows up in this catatonic brain fart episode that lasted only about a minute, a couple of minutes at the most, I think two minutes total, they're in the other scene. So he's one of the two primary. If we're going out amongst the population, it's my job and Boris is here to make sure we stick her with a pen and calm her down. It's very apparent that they're prepared for that instantly, not that they think it may happen, but down there acting more like it will happen. Becoming a crewman chicken. Yeah, because you've got a crew now on standby and they are within two paces to four paces. No more away typically. They're off screen. But they're not that far off screen. Ready to help. They hold up the dummy. You know? The dummy ain't moving, sir. Well, that's okay. That's how we wanted it. The dummy ain't moving. Forgive me, guys. Something else just sent to me. Oh, man, of course it's getting darker outside. So we might actually... We'll have a downpour. I don't really want a downpour. I want to sew. We need that steady rain. We don't need the first and then, you know, dust again. So hopefully the areas we're seeing are getting a good saturation. It'll knock down the work into the soil. That's what we need to keep the crops running the way they are right now. We've had some phenomenal weather and we've had some perfect food production, guys, at least in the mass quantity category. So that's a good thing. We need that. But we need a little burst of rain here every once in a while. It looks like we might be lucky and get it this time around. Let's jump over to something else here real quick before we go. There was another question about, for instance, Grant, and this I guess is true, because we were talking about weatherization slash water security, free sources, supplies, the night vision technology. Pretty well there are sealed systems, aren't they? Before they say you can stand out in the storm with it, I think the 12 meters of water pressure, it might be nine, but still, that's a couple feet down there, ain't it? When it can sustain like that, you can pretty much stand out in the storm with it. The thing about that is, is it a lightning storm? And how much water can you get onto the lens before you need to wipe the lens? Water proof? You still have to with the weather, right? You go back some stages, they tell you, do not take these between what device you need. Here again, traditionally, since we like using ponchos, and actually it was one of the best tools that the military came up with in probably the last hundred years, other than the Yee tool, the shovel, which General Guyup would tell you was the most important tool that they got. The best thing about it is that you're always protecting the night vision. It's technology to begin with. It should always be first priority for protection, shouldn't it? Don't try to keep your gun on line, right? Everybody, when we watch, you know, you've seen the best example. We use movies again for reference. You've seen this time and again when the guy will pull the optics off underneath a poncho or protective equipment. One of the things that you can do, as we've said, is take and build or develop a cover for it for field use yourself so that it protects the weaponsite or protects the night vision and it has its own sheath cover or mini poncho. They're not hard to build or it's not hard to make from something else. Used rain gear, et cetera, is one of the best and first options. The important thing is that the rain gear is readily available. You know, the technology can't be rolled up, trussed up, part of the kit operational for as long as possible. So you need to be thinking about this. This damage, you know, I should say the less exposure, the less damage. And in general, this is why they make Pelican cases, this is why they make all kinds of other transport devices that are padded, armored, to try and baby the technology in a positive way. Because the longer that we keep it from being bounced or keep it from being soaked, the more likely it's going to serve us and serve us well. Again, that's one of the key important features of thinking ahead and understanding the limits of the technology or its advantages. What can we do with it? Anyway, Dr. Dauch. Let's do this. ATN did a study years ago on customers and asked them this question and then we're buying green screens. This is putting their right on it. It's done. ATN did that to find out well we're sending out these pelican cases with all of these guns after the survey for a lot of entry-level gun sites even send it out in a software or other brand name something about a number of times you know want one gun vision dedicated to the bad idea you never lose you're taking that block that one inch or take the cross member the crowd attention to how you tighten it down and you've already got a zero before you took it off well you're probably gonna be within an inch of that zero and that's not bad that's almost should it be a flat top or should it be a carry handle? Well, you know, there's that adapter that will fit into the top of that trough of the handle and it has a little over 20 sitting on the bottom and you thumb screw that down and now you've got a weaver or a picatinny rail on top of your carry handle and you can thumb screw the device, be it digital or green or thermal, onto that. My head is out in the air and I don't have any cheek weld. I've got to build up a real... And the bolt doesn't open and close. Well, you don't really need a cheek weld with... Because you're looking at a little television, it's not like you can use your head as your head moves around your point of aim change. Just try that. Of aim. The reticle in the device is so close to the tube now. If you move your head you don't see a point of aim change, do you? That only reinforces the, well, you don't really have to have a cheek weld if you're looking at a television. You're looking at a widening beam of light, not a cone of light with the ice cream stuck into the daylight end. of that daylight scope, the eye end of that daylight scope. If you've got a carry handle or if you've got a flat top, well, you can get a good perch with both. That flat top, if you're insistent on a quelch, and a lot of people, even in the AR-10 variant, like to carry that gun high on the shoulder. Now the AR-10, if you don't have that on the shoulder, you're gonna know when you send that .308 down. Don, do me a favor, keep carrying on. I'm gonna be back in just a minute. We've got that range sitting. I've gotta make sure we've got a few things shut down. Be right back. No problem there. But even again, with a flat top, if you're looking for that cheek weld, well, there's a way to get there with the flat top, but you still don't want to build anything up behind, do you? So your night vision, be it the green screen, the thermal, or even the digital, is going to work good on the flat top or the carry handle either way, because, well, you don't have to have that cheek weld that you have to have with a daylight device, because you're looking through the daylight device, you know? depending on where the reticle is and where your lens, that final lens that sends light to you when you move around, you see that appearance of motion, although the reticle isn't moving and the end of the scope isn't moving. So your eye has to be in just the right place with a daylight scope. That's not nearly as necessary with a night vision device. You're looking at a two-dimensional image. You're not even looking into the image. Although some of the devices, by the time you get up to 60 or 70 lines per millimeter, at 74 lines per millimeter, it looks like you could just walk right into that. But again, this goes back over, and let's link these two together here, because looking at a television, if you're shooting half-inch groups with your best gun at 100 yards, and you With a good daylight scope and while you bolt on a good piece of night vision it might even be 72 lines per millimeter at 100 yards your groups are probably gonna open up 50% maybe 80% Maybe your groups are gonna be three-quarters of an inch or bigger than that Because you're looking at again, you're looking at a television You look at a television screen and dinky little cathode ray on that tube or dinky dots instead of looking at individual rays of light like you do when you through the window and out into the field or the city or the backyard or wherever you're looking. Again, you're looking at a little television screen and you're looking at dots that are making up that picture. So if you move that ever so slightly, you might not have any perception of you looking at it through a different dot. And it might seem like there's only one dot on top of the reticle, you know, if it's an upward arrow or in the center of that, those intersecting lines, but there's more than one. with night vision and using again the television screen. Your groups are going to get a dinky little bit bigger maybe you know if you're shooting a, now if you're shooting AK that's like four inch, four inch groups at a hundred yards. Your groups aren't going to get much bigger than that. They might get to be five or six inches you see what I mean? 50 percent. But dang guy you're already shooting four inch groups. What's the, you know if you're shooting five or six inch groups at a hundred yards that gun isn't exactly the tack driver that you like right? So again, hey, if you're looking for an website, that's YD.us, you'll see, it's an even green screen. You see there, like, what's the real price? Give me a call. My number is 231796. And the website, YD. Goggles are gun sights, you guys. Green screens are thermal. If you have any questions about anything you see at the website, or what is the real price, give me a call. 2317. And you might not feedback yet, but that's okay. About, you know, Liberty Tree Radio. We can talk about the night vision videos. to and then after Y2K. If you want the field video, put $25 in an envelope. Be certain that for a whole bunch of people out there listening, give me a call. That wet didn't even get to the ground. That's the kind of rain we've been seeing for the ocean they say we're... We were hoping for it. It's coming down the way we were hoping it would. So tomorrow might be a decent day after all. Looking pretty good there. So just a reminder, like I said, take your Gore-Tex with you. Although the water is so warm, I didn't worry about putting anything on. It is a soaker. This is a heavy, if our car is on the road or having to stop, it's that heavy. But it's a saturation range, not big globulets. It's a micro mesh, so that's the kind of rain you need for our plants. The pumpkins are going to go crazy tomorrow. Really good pumpkin crop right now. And that is cheap food. I can't emphasize that enough. We really haven't mentioned that enough this year. Guys, be prepared for that. Are incredibly priceless. So if you can, take the I noticed that the mid part of the state had done part of their pickle harp. If you haven't done it in your area yet, be prepared to pick up the bigger cucumbers. They're perfect for that mission. So if you want to do relish or if you want to put stuff away that, you know, again, certain categories, why take your smaller pickles and grind them up when you've got the culls, which there's nothing wrong with them, they're not damaged, they're not. They exploded or anything, it's just that they've got an actual sorting system on board the pickers now and they just, wow, they dump them. I can't believe that they don't take them for the very purpose we talked about. Throw them into the relish system because they do crank out so much relish every year. You guys eat it on the hot dogs and all kinds of stuff. Well, if you're around any farmers that have property like that, that's free food, guys. You can take as much as you want if you can catch them when they're pulling the field. They don't have any problem with that. Typically they can take what you have. Farmers traditionally don't mind. Called culling. Yeah, it's a traditional, it's part of the deep tradition and it goes back... biblically. Okay? I'm sorry, gleaning. Yeah, yeah, gleaning. It's a gleaning. It's where they've got the word gleaners. You know, the gleaners from, they go around and pick up stuff from the stores and such. They like from the restaurants. Same thing. Well, again, we've got different crops. Well, hey, after Halloween, how popular are pumpkins? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Well, the store, well, the fields are the same way. You know, they have all these, we pick your own here in the area. If nothing else, I could never believe that people who have either pigs or other livestock aren't grabbing all that they can. And that they don't make arrangements with a guy who's actually got the crop. Because you're looking at a very high source of vitamins and proteins and carbohydrates. It's a good combination of all of the above with the way the product is produced. Of course, not from a food standpoint. You've got the meat of the pumpkin and the seeds. One pumpkin to provide enough seeds to do another harvest almost. But in addition to that, they're a food source. Remember, pumpkin seed oil is now sold commercially over the counter, guys. You can squeeze that just the way that they do industrially. There's no difference. I have to scrap, Mark. Yes, and in fact, say what, Tom, before you go any farther, we are at the bottom of the hour. Your number for night vision is on the web page before you go, please. Head to phone numbers, 231-796-84. 5-8, you'll need that to figure out real prices. When you go over to the website, you don't like the prices, give me a call. But the website is ydtoe.us. Again, yd. And again, be careful on the road. For everybody out there, we've got people slowing down. It's still a good soaking rain. This is what we needed. This will also fill up the aquifers. We've got some ponds here and there, a little low. green. I mean unfortunately the ponds have been green too because of the Monsanto sluice off this year which has been horrible. This is a much needed rain here. Everybody else is getting it right now. We're the only ones that weren't and now we're we're x'd out which is a good thing. I like this. So since we're at the bottom we got a couple of requests and it is headed to the weekend. Camp Nega Hichum, Camp We have a lot of rain here, but we're not going to lose any crop on this one. This is going to be a record production. I'd be willing to bet for both corn and for beans, soybeans, this is going to be a record production year for the Midwest. King Monster right now. The corn is phenomenal. The corn is, in fact sweet corn, as Nancy pointed out, which came up on the air, sweet corn is everywhere across the Midwest. Production is extremely high, good quality product. A lot of people, of course, We talked to, did the heirloom seed because we pushed them in that direction and they are really happy we have had the perfect weather. It's true with general bulk production including the GMO stuff which, hey guys, burn it. That's what we do. Burn it. I make a point if there's a GMO, that's why I don't want to burn it. I don't want to burn the heritage stuff. Well, no, it's GMO. Good. We'll burn it in the corn burner. So as it stands, and again, for all of you out there be prepared when the food stuffs become available we've got to be able to take advantage of this guys uh... Cynthia and Mark request uh... you know what i think we can i can dig it up for you as a matter of fact and hold on i gotta you know again let me see if i can find uh... we're looking for everybody's made a whole series of flavors soon as they heard me say request i just got a whole blip blip blip blip one after another guys it would be nice if we could do DJ work for an hour but not this hour okay so This is hard. Okay, I gotta find a version that is livable. Okay, here we go. Ah, we got a good one. For everybody out there, forgive me, we gotta get past the ads. You know how that is. Wildlife rescue workers use Dawn. Did you know that? I didn't know that. No, I do. Well anyway, obvious but for our girls and guys who met back in 1986, this song was out there in force and was also on MTV as a matter of fact. So here we go guys, Electric Light Orchestra Calling America. and you guys are up there. Oh my goodness, that's right, this weekend. So for CNM, you guys, 1986. Didn't take very long. 80 to 90, 90 to 86. So again, very good. Hopefully that kept you happy out there in the field. I know you guys are up there at the Camp Wayland North is where we have, maybe double check that out, can't do it right now. Camp Wayland North, we have the Zussman Ackerman team up there, the doctor and his middle son. are going to be giving classes on the B7B. They're going to be focusing on the traditional straight bolt gun modifications, some of the stuff that people have been recommending. They're going to take a look at. They'll be taking the guns over to the Oghammer Ranges this weekend, probably tomorrow, and testing them out and doing a little evaluation where the doctor is going to be stopping the patients to see what it is that the guys have done. Some interesting ideas. Barrel length variations, of course, we expect, guarding SABO multi-dart discarding sable which is really cool so those are things that everybody always want to find out more about. For proximity and downrange you get like a double triple tap and a thousand yards that's kind of special that means that maybe you're off a little but one out of three of those darts or one of the two darts that go down range one of them is going to get the target especially if there's a weebawob or little variance here and there. Government did something like this back in the 80s by the way with a stepped cartridge that they came up with. It was kind of interesting. They made them in the 50. They were four different designs. I have seen all of them and I think I have examples of the five I have examples of four. I saw all five that were developed. They were originally done for Aberdeen Proving Ground. They were out at also one of the test ranges associated with Hunter Liget and the Hunter Liget facility on the east coast. The idea was they came up with a multiple a projectile system that would feed quickly or stay in the standard fashion through the Browning M2 and provide basically saturation pellet fire, mechanical projectile fire, downrange and stacked rounds that would distribute so that the dispersion would be reasonably tight. But you're looking at, again, they did a double, a triple, a five, oh, forgive me, one, two, the human's five, point, projectile. Each one of the individual conical, the coal was about, I think it was 95 grains for the light. Come off on the one. It was 95 for the multi-stack, the two that were standard. There was a fifth one, like I said, it was not as common. But as these things left the muzzle, the shearing force of the velocity of the projectiles off the way, the outer the projectiles proceeded downrange, a trajectory typical of the M2 ball, 50 caliber ball, but as they achieved greater distance, needless to say, there would be straggle, they would start to spread out slightly. The idea was to produce a cone of destruction at maximum or at least standard 1,000 yard range, not maximum for the 50, that would be about a five inch group of say five separate 30 caliber plus conical projectiles and that is when they hit they were devastating. Now they were solid brass. The ones that I have examples of are solid brass. One variation that they did was to actually ensconce the projectiles in a kind of cellulose similar to kind of like a phenolic projectile like they built for air defense practice. The other was a gelatinous material that actually was scored and that sheared and like peeling a banana away from the projectiles. But it initially, of course, in all cases, this left as the same as a standard ball round would leave the muzzle of a 50 caliber Brodigan II. So an interesting idea. There are some things we're looking at right now. These are again, you know, not reinventing the wheel because the projectile, the one is a double projectile stack, one on top of the other. and looks very similar to a Fiachi fin-stabilized shotgun projectile. So we'll find out more. They're going to be up at the ranges tomorrow, provided they aren't utterly flooded out. We've got some major rain. It's really impressive doing its job. Can't complain. That's the way it's supposed to be here. So again, for everybody, Pay attention to your environment, it's going to get pretty exciting to say at least on and off here in Michigan as it's supposed to and it's a good thing because everything scheduled for tomorrow morning through the weekend is under the hopes that this would have hit earlier in the day. Otherwise, get ready for some mud, get ready for some fun. You're going to be out there anyway, aren't you? Yes, you will. I told you to take your Gore-Tex with you. And your ponchos and all the other weather gear that... That's right, you collect all this stuff. You'll be working just fine. Anyway... what do we have next on the list of things to do? We're headed towards the top, don't have a whole lot of time here. Again, it is Cinco de Amo Day, we mentioned UNAML and amoman.com. Don't forget J.D. Sales has the SAMCO surplus stuff where the SAMCO has been auctioning everything off and has gone out of business. They have the 6.5 by 55 miles of ramble in the wooden bullet projectile and they have the 45 HP, which is not hollow point, it's 45 HP. It's a specific load and pattern of case. Some guys have already fired this stuff in M1917 Smith and Wesson's and what few Colts are floating around and they're all happy with it. It works well. So it's a standard 45 ACP load in a case that is one millimeter shorter than standard. which is interesting, but the load is actually loaded up and the bullet is seated so that the length of the overall cartridge loaded is the same length as the standard 45 ACP round. So if any of you guys have WheelGunsJGSales.com, cheapest 45 ACP type ammo, it's now 45 ACP, it's 45 HP. But for the revolvers, they'll eat it all day, won't even know the difference. They won't even know that there's that millimeter missing from the case. They'll just keep shooting and shooting and shooting. So, next, Master Friday, of course, and I'll just step out and have the money for the inventory. But once, I think we started mentioning them on the air, then they halted their expansion on the discount, which would have been up to 90% by the time they were done. The idea was they were going to turn around fast, get rid of everything and then go on to bigger and better things and get the next batch of stuff in. Instead, they've kind of slugged out and stuck it 65% off, which is good. I mean, the prices are good. Now, some of you have been asking, and I will repeat again, this is ripstop in the new Nauru cut. It's like the high collar as far as the uniforms go. But one of the tricks, if you want to do an assault smock, if you want to do something in an assault smock like the usual World War II, go with the 2X or 3X, if you say we're a large. You can go with a 2X and a 3X. The 2X goes on the inside, the 3X goes on the outside, or you can go 2, 3X or 2, 2X, it's up to you. Reverse the one and stitch them, just pack them together. Makes for a reversible assault smock for seasonal or area of operation colors. Now what do they have left over there right now? Well, you guys are looking for Flecktarn. They've got Flecktarn pretty much it looks like in every size up to XXX. They've got ACU. They still, well, no that's not, that's something that slipped in there. Ignore the Fusion, BDO jackets, and AtPat. They want like $40 for those. Ignore those. They have black. If you need black, look like the bad guys. Blend in when the time comes for infiltration and exfiltration. DCU3 color. They've got vegetata, which actually, in Italian camoism, is a good camouflage pattern. And they do have it up to four sizes. They've got big sizes here still, too. OD green, of course. No, these aren't the jackets. And the pants, I don't know. They do have tiger stripe. They have three of them. Forgive me. Gray white woodland, slash the urban, as everybody calls it. That looks to be it. That's what's left. But they do have a good quantity and it's $10 a top, $10 a bottom so you really can't beat it. Okay, $10.48 for the tops. If you look at it as an over cover because they are in the rip stop, that works just fine. A lot of people, especially this ungodly weather we've had most recently, well, that's what rip stop was made for, the kind of weather we're experiencing right now. So it is your first best choice under these conditions. Now the other thing is, somebody was asking me again because I mentioned the fact there was even a comment we were talking the last hour here about 40 round mags in the AK. Where do we find mag pouches? Well number one, there are mag pouches out there that were made by the Warsaw Pact for the 40 round AK mags. The problem is finding the place that still has all the cautions. They usually get the mags and they don't get the pouches. And they get the pouches and they don't get the mags. Okay, well another option is to go with the Strike Force Tactical Modular Vests that they have available through, again, rap4.com. R-A-P, numeral4.com. R-A-P-4.com. 24 or 48 will get you the large size, which will fit anybody big, big, big. Or the regular size. And although they are kind of, you know, paring down on these, there's the Begetata, three-colored desert, the Australian desert, which I actually guys, for our friends listening in Arizona, that Australian desert I think would work just as well as your, in fact, maybe better than the three-colored desert that we use. But you want to check that out. There's a few other shades in there. And it's, again, basically the US Marine Corps leaf pattern, World War II. Everybody wonders where did they get that from? It's not a bad pattern depending on where you are. They'll fit, they'll set black, they've got tiger stripe, yes, they still have some tiger stripe. They have urban. Those are the colors available and of course I mentioned OD green, I hope I did. So they have one OD green size left and again, $22.73 for the regular sizes, $24 for the large sizes. The tiger stripe, again if your unit is standard on tiger stripe, this is a solution. I'll again the Begetaba and also the Australian Standard Summer Camo or again Green Environment Camo is also available and that doesn't seem to be moving real fast. It'll probably be around for a little bit. You might want to experiment with that one. But you're going to have to make a personal choice. I believe that that Australian Standard Camo, like the Desert Camo, would work really well out in New Mexico, West Texas, Arizona, etc. by the very nature of the terrain and the pattern for the camouflage itself. But you guys might want to experiment, take a look at it, check it out, see what it does. They have both the large and the regular size, and they're pretty reasonably priced. So it is a solution, not just complaining about the problems, everybody complains about the problems. The big thing is that those mag pouches are designed for a paintball gun. Because of that, your Sega shotgun stick mags or your 40 round mags will just pop right in there. So there's your solution for you squad gunners or you guys that want to carry those big 40 round mags and a lot of them. I know a lot of guys bought them when they were available. They've been just trying to figure out how to carry them more effectively. Well, this is a complete assault vest. You can put a pistol belt on it. It's got the belt hangers. You can hook up whatever you want for additional pouches. If you've got drums, which I recommend you figure out a way to carry the drum. If you're not going to use it right away, you want to save it back. Say when you take a position, you want to hold a position. Either you use the drum in the assault or you use the drum once you've taken the real estate and you're in the defense. Either way, that's your personal choice and however you do it, you've got to have a way to carry that drum. You need a drum pouch. So go out there and seek out. I would recommend you experiment. Two things we found worked really well for the big 100 count brums which you don't see anymore. The 2.0L US canteen covers were perfect. They also silenced a little bit because they had the fuzzy internal. I think I haven't a chance to see what different cuts, how they affect it, how they affect this fit. But the new larger canteen covers that are standard for the model gear may slip a 75 rounder in quite nicely. So you might just want to check that out. And again, you can get those canteen covers in pretty much any and every pattern that exists. Even at the Rap4 site, they do have a number of unique items there in pouches carrying, I think, almost every pattern of the canteen cover or tank pouch that you can imagine. There's a number of different ones that are out there. The, again, with Rap4, beware, not everything is a great sale price, assuredly. So again, pay attention, compare shop, don't just go out there and grab a bunch of stuff. Well, it was in the pouches, what I was just talking about here, and we're almost to the top, forgive me. A lot of these pouches were actually down to a dollar or two a piece, that kind of slid them back up the scale. So if you're patient, you might find them for a little bit of price down the road. The big thing is that they do have the mix of the camouflage covers, the canteen covers. If you go through the inventory, everything is supposed to be marked down a little bit, but some things are marked down more so than others. Just pay attention to that. Write it down. As far as matching up the different camo patterns, they have, and typical for the, this is what's cool about the Paintball and Airsoft, is that they usually have a wide range of camouflage patterns in house. DPM and many of the pouches, especially for you guys looking for multiple stick pouch pockets, If you've got Meg, you know, pistol pouches you were trying to put into the field, another solution there. You name it, it's there in size, the dimensions are there, so if you have a certain thing you need a carrier for, go through, look to see what's on hand, see if there's something that floats your boat, get a sample, if it looks like it works well for the project, then have the unit adopt it as needed. You guys want to figure that one out on your own. In fact, you'd be helping all of us by doing it and pitching in by helping do some of the R&D. For example, we do have MP5 magazine pouches. You know, Stronium does it. They've got a number of other items here, too. I hear the music! Now Ed's coming up next, militia town hall guys, heavy pitching, help out there, quartermaster Friday, and of course, C-Cool D-E-M-O day, our heater. Hold your wallet, tell them what you think by preparing and organizing army equipment and training. We'll be back here in one hour, but meanwhile Ed's taking over. He's in charge of LGR. He'll all be good. God bless the Republic, that's where the new world order. We shall prevail the emperors on the run for the mark.
