Who is this guy?! Help please!

[oneshot187]

The Guy in "ddpm" with the AK isn't actually wearing DDPM. Its very similar but the pattern isn't quite the same. Pretty sure its a legit photo of a US Army Spec, a Romi Army soldier and what could well be a Bosnian, Cyprian or Gerogian soldier as they use MARPAT in eaxctly the same cut and pattern as the USMC.

I agree with the nationalities. But dont you think its odd the nvg mounts are over the goggles, just looks odd to me..

Re: Who is this guy?! Help please!

Doesnt matter chap, when I was in Afghanistan everybodys guns looked well maintained AK, M4 etc Its good discipline.

Now whilst I have no real military experience other than a few mates who are ex military, Im pretty sure it would be in a soldier's best interests to keep his weapon clean and in top condition? It seems to be only airsofters who have an obsession with "weathering" their guns and making them look like theyve been dragged through the 'stan or wherever
Personally I love keeping all my guns looking factory fresh and in perfect condition! Even a bit OCD about it!

Dont the mounts flip up and down though? Im pretty sure thats just in the "up and out of the way" position, when theyre needed they flip down?

Could be Mandaean...

"The Shorn (written Shum) Tawar, a gold ring worn on the little finger of the right hand. This ring bears the inscription, Shum Tawar Ziwa."

Left hand i know but...

If your saying the photo looks edited, its possible his figure has been flipped to make it seem that hes looking more at the camera?

Well the guy in the DDPM has live rounds in his mag for the ak in his left mag pouch

No, it holds them in place & keeps them out of the way.

Re: Who is this guy?! Help please!

if you zoom on the marpat guy it definitly looks like a bottle of green bb's in the pouch to the left

Re: Who is this guy?! Help please!

If that has been shopped, it's got to be one of the best jobs I've ever seen. The margins are pretty much perfect. I'd say it's either genuine, or from a seriously great airsoft site.

I'd not put it past the yanks to have some heavy vehicles available at some airsoft events, though. If we can have helicopter assaults in the UK, I'm sure a vehicle or two could be found over there.

If this helps fellas,

go to the original file path

http://www.militarynewsnetwork.com/m...news/iraq6.jpg

but exchange the 6 in iraq6 for another number. 1 to 3 may be of particular interest.
They stop at 10

I then did a search in their images for the word iraq and it comes up with number 9

underneith is written '1st Lt. Pat Barone, a platoon leader, and Sgt. Daryl Appling, both with Company D, 1st Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, explain to Iraqi Department of Border Enforcement soldiers how to conduct tactical patrols at night along the Iraqi-Syrian border, December 9th, 2009. At rear with an Iraqi soldier is Jordanian interpreter Rami Tamimi'

For reference. http://www.popularmilitary.com/galle...php?photo=2395

How ever from this image,
http://www.popularmilitary.com/galle...php/photo/2007
i would say that he in the middle is an Iraqi Soldier.

Idk if this helps. I got bored.

Re: Who is this guy?! Help please!

I am still not convinced these are real, something just seems so "wrong" about them, and also I agree with an earlier post I think you can see some bb pellets...

Re: Who is this guy?! Help please!

No the green bottle is what looks to be a smoke grenade or something similar... definitely not a bottle!

Really?! It could be any number of things. I think it's clutching at straws to make an assumption like that, from the resolution of the photos that we have at our disposal (or lack thereof).
