vest the sas use
 

does anyone know what type of vest the SAS use?

When English people talk about a "vest" it's really just an undershirt. I'd suppose they'd pick their own or use the issue ones.

Don't know for SAS but I have two SBS pics and they have ordinary issued waistcoat pi tan paint on...

That was in 2001-2002 vince...they prolly roll out in MOLLE crap now.

Military Morons has a SAS impression too, in which the vest is just a black bullet vest

Hehe the old CRW suede vest, I lost a bid a month ago on an original one... but 350$ seemed a bit over the top...

This is what google found for me...not sure how trustworthy these two finds are though

the bottom one is legit.the other one I dunno.

What's the color of the boathouse at Hereford?

LOL you dont know how tempted I was to post these too. Glad someone did it :)

Fuck the color! I built it! :D

And it doesn't seem like Travis is saying it loud enough....CUSTOM!
Ya know, like every guy has one made for himself!

The only vest that was ever made in multitude was the CRW vest for close quarters.

Custom hey?

I will award a Hero Cookie to the first person to build a functioning vest from gun tape & post photos.

...you have no idea how tempting that actually is!

consider them using Paraclete RAV's and assorted pouches...

i think these blokes are embedded with the americans hence the use of US gear.

I suspect (although not for sure) that these chaps are SFSG, they are reported to be working with SAS & USSF & were given US kit to help them blend in. I think that these guys are actually more likely SAS. I heard that at least in Afghanistan the RAV had been dropped by the SBS as being too bulky although this once again is unconfirmed rumour.

I though the SAS held a vote, decided guns were nancy and now just go out on patrol in football tops with a bottle of Newky Brown in each hand?

that's only for door kicking stuff, anyway the SAS are far too OMFG5451337 to patrol stuff, if they were ever allowed to patrol the streets of Iraq all terrorism would end, as would crime, littering, swearing, etc, that would put far too many people out of a job so for the good of the economy they keep them on the leash.

Either that or you shouldn't believe every drunk british guy you meet who tells you he's one of 'them' ;)

Do you mean there's a place where I can meet Brits that aren't drunk?

Lots more pictures in the same vein here (you gotta sign up but it's a thread worth reading). http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forum...owtopic=102475

Coming from Scotland, if there is such a place I've not found it, mind you I've not been looking hard & don't really want to either.

I assume it's the same stuff but here's where I got mine

You are a highly valued member of Airsoft Canada and I thank the good lord every day for your membership here.

I'm no expert on the SAS, but I recall someone saying they use whatever works best for the individual operator.

So far as I'm aware most of there kit is either modified or custom made to some extent or another, that's part of what makes me think the second set of pics are infact the SAS. They don't look Amercian in the slightest and the SFSG is meant to be blending with the Yanks, while the second lot of vest are custom jobs.

well I dunno if this has been up here before, probably has. But as you can see they seeme to use the same gear as the journos ;)

PS. This reinforces the statement mad by ThunderCactus above ds.

That's SBS in Afghanistan, I must admit I'm the a big fan of the 'low drag' look, real men only need claymore bags & 4x 30rnd bandoliers :D

3rd one's SAS in Iraq '03

Low drag is the best way to draw attention off yourself ;)

SAS vest
 

If you have read or have the book Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNab
in it there is a pic of him wearing his loadout and the vest he is wearing is a GPMG gunners vest.

Edited to add that this is for sale on a UK Airsoft forum.

Good ole' Andy McNob. Nice to know he's out there, keeping britain safe from Johnny foreigner, with his extensive knowledge of hi-tech weaponry...

"saw this gun in a catalogue, think it said it was a f-something-or-other- anyway, it looked really cool. Not had a chance to fire it but this bloke down the pub said..."

thanks Andy, have a medal.

Said first by a very wise man.

I think theres a place in England where you can by used sas-kit`s. i will try to find out for you. mean while take a look at my own original sas from the late 80`s. its from the 22nd regiment. i got it thru friends in England. its fire proof etc. and thers allways ebay , but people says its an expensive place to buy things.

There are some replica released for the SAS collectors.

Why do you think thereslittle crime in Hereford... are you gogin to start a fight with someone who could potentially be one of 'them'?

Don't make the mistake that because they have a pager they are one... as we all know the pager imposters are 'they'...

Hmmm, that'd be an interesting airsoft impression for a guy to do, civie clothes................. a pager. Lol

You better have sideys and a tache if you're going that route!

oh aye, the bushy tash that was donned around the 80's, should have seen the british army as everyone was beign accused of being one of 'them' lol, my dad had a spiv tash and got accused lol.
