If you're after a Ranger helmet you want a PASGT

Re: Blackhawk down

Ebay. A UK BMX shop is doing them for £17.99 posted. They actually have safety ratings too, so as well as looking cool, might do something in the event of an accident.

Mask of the polystyrene inner and give it a whizz over with some black krylon.

Re: Blackhawk down

From the photos ive seen of them in Somalia they wore both styles of this helmet- the style like in the movie (half head) & the full head one which covers the ears- they are the type you see Navy Seals and SBS (MCT) wearing which are skydiving helmets made by Protec . ive got both, the half head was from Starbucks a few years back and the other when i was in the states.

Re: Blackhawk down

From what I remember when I looked it up a while back

Pro-tec w/ goggles which look like ESS NVG but I'm probably wrong
DCU top and bottoms
Black PT armour - could get away with PACA
LBV 88 in M81 camo - although I'm sure you could mod some other LBV to work
Looks like ALICE belt with a whole host of pouches
I'm fairly certain he had a blackhawk chest rig which would look like this but in black and in 7.62

It might be the case that those chest rigs were only worn by the guys using 5.56 weapons - watching the film should clear it up whether or not he does have one.

Re: Blackhawk down

I've got a black skate helmet, I just flatted the paint down with a fine paper and it looks great, the vents aren't in exactly the right places but when you've got goggles on it you can't see anyway

Re: Blackhawk down

got so far my bdu's my boots, alice belt with an m16 pouch need another one of them i reckon, a repro blackhawk chest rig, helmet with goggles, a 733 (i decided on gorgons kit in the end) any ideas on what the holster is?

Re: Blackhawk down

dont know the real deal but to look right , viper drop leg ( single strap ) and belt

for the gordon loadout you will also need 4 mag pouches , 2 canteens and butt pack

Re: Blackhawk down

The film used blackhawk gear. The holsters were blackhawk droplegs. Guarder do a budget version of it also if you dont want to buy a proper bh version.

I tried the viper one and it ripped so cannot personally recommend it. I used a black bianchi on a dropleg in the end as its comfy and does not flop around. It just doesnt look identical.

Re: Blackhawk down

The kit list varies for the different characters. But a good basic delta loadout is:
Tri colour BDU's
Protec half head helmet
Black PT armour (a PACA will look wrong)
LC2 webbing with buttpack, 2 canteens and 2 ammo pouches.
Either a Blackhawk tactical mesh vest (no longer in production as used in the film but BULLE make a copy that is much closer to the one used on screen) or a Blackhawk .223 chest rig.
