          Nope, the SeAL gear is much, much 'ammo heavy'.... :D

          This is based on some pictures of the 'Brownwater Navy' types who ran the Pibbers around the Mekong Delta....The Naval Advisory Group (NAG) was set up to augment the ARVN's rather porous blockade of the South Vietnamese coastal and river systems early on in the 'War, hence the CAR15, light webgear and shortsleeved shirt.

            Noticed the CAR15 playing at FB start of the month. Thought at the time, very nice loadout. Seen the new all metal CAR on the way out soon? Tempted, very tempted!

            Points for trying to organise everyone that day by the way. Fruitless as it turned out, but points for effort!
