Supersonic, Please don't put words in my mouth.  I'm sure it is possible to train people to engage targets past 600m. However, the probability of a soldier to do so with the C-7 is low.  We are talking about max effective range for a weapon system.  This means that a qualified soldier will be...

Brihard is absolutely correct.  To sum up... You normally zero your weapon AT 100m, FOR a 200m zero.  You can really zero it at any range from 25-100, but the point is that the bullet will hit exactly where you are aiming at 200m, which is the first setting of the C79.  When we zero at 100m...

I'm not sure about any products for toughening up your feet, but just getting out an hiking like OldSolduer stated is your best bet. However, in order to lessen the likelihood of your feet getting chewed the best option is to use a two sock system like the new black and green issued socks.  The...

I think these may be what you are looking for. http://02bfb2f.netsolstores.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=106

Farmboy, Thanks for the specifics on the versions the guy are getting.  I couple of questions about the pouch options.  Are there any specific grenade/smoke/utility pouches  that work best for this setup or (HSGI or other)?  Any type in particular that you have been getting good feedback from?

Great answers so far.  Thanks. As my primary dismounted load carriage system, I'm currently using an ICE tactical battle belt with suspenders with 4 double mag pouches, 2 grenade, 1 utility, 1 smoke, 1 medpouch and a rolypoly.  Its great, like everyone has been saying, for long dismounted ops...

I'm looking for a good review of the HSGI Warlord V3 or V4.  Info on ideal pouch placements, and any other usage tips would be appreciated from anyone using this vest as their current load carriage platform.  There are scattered mentions of it in other threads, but they do not go into the detail...

Acen, I've had mine attached to the left side of my tac vest with the slikclip and have had no problems.  Just to give you an idea, the strength so far has held when the pouch had 12 paraflares and 2 half spent mags in it and I was at a full run multiple times.  I tried hanging it higher using a...

I've been using the Strider MFS Tanto for awhile now and it is by far the best fixed blade knife I have used.  I bought it from True North Knives, and if you e-mail them and let them know you are in the military, they will give you a discount. http://www.truenorthknives.com/ .  Plus they are a...

Back to the original question, its not designed to train us for battle.  I still think it is a good test of Battle Fitness. Suggesting it is not adequate to prepare us for battle is suggesting you want it to encompass trade specific skills as well.  That is what the rest of our training does...

Yes, we did it twice in Meaford when this first came out.  Near the obstacle course at the parking lot they have the large sandbox containers full of gravel which is what you do the trench dig in, and we  just brought the MLVW over for the ammo crate lift. I think it is correct that the ammo...

When it comes to assessing the fitness standards for battle, the BFT does a better job than the beep test at least.  Remember that along with the fireman's carry, we now have to do the trench dig as well as the ammo crate lift to the tailgate of an ML.  I think these together are a very...

Well, I can let you know that several PRes teams from LFCA will be going to the competition.  Our team is actually looking forward to putting our "gunfighter" drills into good use at the competition.  For the guys who have been in for awhile, its not instinctive to transition to the pistol for...

I've only ever used their holsters and they have been great.  Even the nylon canvas holsters are excellent quality. As for the rest of the gear, I have no experience.

This is my first post on this site, I finally feel I have something to say worth something. I have also been trying out quite a few holsters for the browning.  Here are a few things I have found, and I'll try to stick to comfort, security, and operation under high stress.  (By high stress I mean...
