Stings like hell since i like flight suits
>>33633063
the SWAT team used them from the early 90s all the way up to a couple years ago, and when they switched i got a few for free, with some PASGT helmets
>>33633085

>>33633588
yous should have swallowed
I think the retro seals are my favorite aesthetic. Green BDU and black vest/carrier. SAS are good too with the blue.
>>33633635
The are not Air Force equivalents of Green Berets they are equal to cops.
>>33633637
They're the real deal, if they were airsoft they'd have orange tips
>>33633679
either this is sarcasm or just really dumb
>>33633679
you should go huff the spray-paint they used

Pic of young Steven Seagal during his days as a CIA operative in Japan.
>>33634042
red lined balaclavas are aesthetic as fuck
>>33632600
Wouldn't have thought Finnish police would have that kind of gear in 1994. Drop leg holsters and all. Guess sharing a border with Russia your country is more advanced in that stuff.
>>33634080
What book was that
>>33634703

I don't have much to contribute on the computer I'm on, but god damn I love CAR-15s, MP-5s and full size .45 or 9mm pistols.
>>33632819
They all look very uncomfortable.
This picture makes me the big penis.

>>33634910
Google says this is an East German
Why are they using HK?
>>33634991
I just reverse searched to the wikipedia page but apparently they are the East German equivalent to GSG-9.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diensteinheit_IX
>>33635128
Yeah that's what I got, I was just curious how East Germans would get their hands on HK stuff
>>33634991
They used NATO weaponry (mostly G3, HK33, MP5) so that they could operate in NATO territory and leave behind only NATO calibre casings, and so that the Diensteinheit IX operators could impersonate Bundeswehr soldiers perfectly.
>>33635174
read that from tom clancy you fudd?
>>33635174
I guess that makes sense, but were the West Germans actually selling it to them directly, or through third party shenanigans
Kind of interesting to think about
>>33632663
Isn't that the guy that's in Narcos on Netflix?
>Not the actor dummy, the real guy
>>33634064
Is he wereing sandals with black socks?
retro mustache among all services was my favorite in the 80s.
>>33635198
The East did buy goods from the West. Although I doubt that they would sell them arms. I don't think that they would have too many of the HK33s so they could have been taken from anywhere really.

>>33635174
>>33635164
Thats not the case,
HK is a private company anyway, as long as there are not specific restrictions, there really is no reason they couldn't sell to GDR. They're not military, just a counter terrorism police unit.
>>33635358
>Paint the cars blue, so we arnt so mean looking in black cars.
>What about the tank?
I love the rims.
>>33635452
I don't see a tank in the picture.
Did early operators really wear Converse shoes?
>>33635452

It's still better than having to deal with a rope Swiss seat.
>>33635861
No, that's not right. That's plainclothes SAS with 37mm launchers in Northern Ireland during a riot or something like that.
>>33632663
why the long face?

That’s an M75 APC developed in the early 1950s and based on the M41 Walker Bulldog family of vehicles.
>>33635396
Stop talking about things you don't know shit about. Arms sales in Germany are regulated by the state, when the weapon qualifies as a weapon of war which a select fire gun does.
Also
>what's an arms embargo
>>33633334
It's called DUCK tape because the cloth imbedded in the adhesive is DUCK cloth. Duck tape is shit on air ducts anyways.
>>33638713
It's not really an uncommon feature.
>>33635305
>>33635198
Probably some shady third party shenanigans.
North Korea bought MD-500s (ie OH-6) from West Germany through some shady front company in LA and somehow they were indeed circuitously shipped from Germany to north Korea where they remain to this day.

It was originally called Duck Tape. Now it is called Duct Tape, even though it is not used for duct work.
There is, however, Duck Brand Duct Tape.

That's Pat McNamara retards, aka Pat Mac of TMacs.
He's an intense baller with a long ass kicking career.
>>33632724
There's no visible nose, so either tactical head bag, or non-jew.
>>33644432
He's an ex CIA operative and currently a 20 year veteran part-time reserve deputy who trains Serbian police special forces
i'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing

Hes a fucking idiot but just the kind of fat larping cunt serbs lurve.
>>33632539
Why does he need bolle goggles when his S10 has ballistic, tinted, and anti laser lens covers?
Sjould also be an MK6 or 7
It's a straight up S10 but there is a PTT mic clip on and drinking straw, fits on canteen AVAN
It's not a nomex hood, its an anti-flash hood fitted for the s10
