What was the peak of operator aesthetics? Post examples.

>>32071078
Why the gloves?

Varies from country to country. American apex was the 80s/90s seals dressed like the guys at the start of Tears of the sun with the green flightsuits. Bongs were either the Iranian embassy black suits or the Gulf war SAS m16a2/desert dpm/shemagh setup. Russians are probably the late 2000s because Gorka suits look SO much slicker than the Flora Ratnik shit set to replace them and before them it was just an unholy unstandardised mess of every pattern under the sun.

You certainly want a surplus rig, just as cheap as the reproduction ones but absolutely rock solid construction.

Yes they're a meme chuckle fuck, a meme is anything that is rapidly spread among the internet, do you mean are they actually worth it? Yes, they're severely under priced because there's millions of them, if they were completely replicated today with the same quality they'd probably cost over $50.

The thing is it will never be exactly what you want.

It's like choosing between an AR-15 and an AK.

A molle + expensive ass pouches setup is the AR-15 way, nigh infinite customization, while the $20 Chicom shitrig is the AK. One setup, and it stays that way. But it comes with the pouches for mags and shit, and it will work to carry ammo with less bullshit.

Amusingly also made for AKs.

Pros:
It holds AK mags and has pouches you might be able to fit stuff into, or not.

Cons:
It might need a buckle here or there, or something to make it less shitty, still usable (usually).

>>32084387
80's > 2010's > 2000's > 90's
the ones fighting ISIS today are far more combat experienced than the ones serving in the 90's. The ones fighting in the 2000's are like the ones fighting today minus the 10+ years of extra experience fighting since the Iraq war.

80's wins because there were still quite a few Nam vets operating back then, and spec-ops Nam vets were generally extremely combat-proficient

>>32081535
Probably got his RCO issued separate from his rifle and he keeps the carrying handle attached that way so he doesn't lose it and get his ass chewed by 1stSgt. That or, more likely, doesn't have backup iron sights in case his RCO breaks and is keeping it on there as the back ups. Marines were trained on iron sights once upon a time, after all.
