Re: Marine Loadout

Well short answer for royal marines is dpm. Essentially the same as the army but with a green beret stuck on it if you want. SA80 aswell.

US marines is a wee bit more exciting as they wear marpat. M4s and M16s are the weapon of choice here.

Image search engines are your friend here really.

Re: Marine Loadout

MARPAT and coyote brown rig. Depends on how authentic you want to be on the rig as to what type you get.

Re: Marine Loadout

Depending on your time period, you're looking at desert tricolours/woodland (interceptor?) body armour for 2003 (generation kill era), then Desert marpat/coyote brown OTV for the last couple of years, then coyote brown SPC in more recent times. Avoid CIRAS as thats a more special-ops issue vest.

Re: Marine Loadout

I agree with dave

My team runs a US marine load out, here is me and two of my team, check it out

[chillsie]

Re: Marine Loadout

cheers guys for all your help this is my conclusion...

Coyote brown chest rig/ assault vest (should i get a molle?)
Marpat trouser and top
maybe tactical goggles and helmet
also should i get some knee pads?

Re: Marine Loadout

CB OTV - I'd avoid the SPC myself, they're usually quite hard to track down and can be expensive. OTV's are everywhere and are affordable in most places, even the real ones!

MICH helmet would be kosher, but there are images from the USMC training with boonies.

For knee pads a set of those ACM standard pads in CB will suffice, but if you're looking for authenticity then I'd look for so Bijan knee pads which I believe have been cloned now.

There is an entire wealth of images out there, if you look over on Arnolds forum there's a very large hub of information there.

Re: Marine Loadout

Marines use an IBH, upgraded version of the PASGT. Mich is more special ops in general (I thought they were interchangable but Semperfi corrected me on this).

I would go for an OTV. they are very easy to get hold of, and accurate. getting just a brown chest rig or brown vest wont look half as good.
