For other pouches, Eagle Industries makes several pouches with buckles, most notable being the MBITR (radio) pouch, Canteen pouch (used for other stuff/utility), Charge Pouch (big ole thing mainly seen on people's back), M60 Pouch, and then they have velcro-flap pouches, such as the SAW pouches, and then zipper pouches, such as Medic pouch, and general utility pouches.


Yeah buckles are a bit of an inconvenience. If you're running some kind of a MOLLE system, I'd look more at open top, stacker mag pouches like this.

Stray,

Check out Tactical Tailor right off of Gravelly Lake Exit. You can see it on your way into work on SB I5 on the right side of the freeway. It's a warehouse with a bright blue roof. They have a good selection of stuff and will get you headed in the right direction.

it seems to me that you're having a problem with mag compatability between members of the unit. you've got an m14 g36s an lmg , an m4, and some sort of smg. if you wanted to do a marine spec ops group it might look better if you all ran similar loadouts and similar guns. the m14 should be fine but the mk43 and the g36s sound a little off. the non-dmr rifleman went with m4s with the usual accesories for the impression. the medic could use a shorter m4. also, the marines have chosen a heavier barreled version of the 416 as their new IAR (infantry automatic weapon) so the lmg operator could faithfully run a 416 with 450 hi-caps. then the loadout would look better with you all running the same PC and similar pouch setups.

just my oppinion, disregard at will.
forgive my ignorance, it happens to everyone.

Oh I agree completely when it comes to guns but like I said we are using my vault noone else owns a gun. The mod 0 pig I've seen marines carrying them. The cqbr m4 is just a little to long for our corpsman she is tiny I look tall compared to her and I'm 5 3. When I can get some money back I was goin to consign a scar set up for us all. I lime my H and I have 1 L too. I need some help getting weapon setup too. Our grenader has my m4 with m203 and a 6 shooter 40mm with crane stock and vert grip. I have a m14 EBR and the gunner got my pig till the m249 comes in from evike. Other then that I'm at a loss. I wanted meu 1911 for everyone but not sure if that be accurate. I was going to have a compact 45 as well as our medic. But I want to keep as close as possible. I figured after I get my tax return throw it Down to get everyone a scar.

if you went with an expeditionary unit loadout the MEU would be great, but i think other than that you might have to go with an m9 (not sure).
what about a stubby for the corpsman?
the m249 is also a great choice for mag sharing.
I think running the m4/m203 and the 40mm revolver with the same person seems a little overdone, but to each his own.
what will she run if you go with scars? you could just have her run with a sidearm and fill up her medic pouches with extra mags for the rest of the unit and maybe a number of 40mm grenades for something like this: http://tinyurl.com/265wx99

Your team member shouldn't do this.

Most OPs don't even have medics. If she went to an OP without medics, she would be little help.

She just wants the medic or corpsman load out or look I think is what she means. She said if I can figure out how to make a m4 a little shorter she will switch from the smg. As for the guns we have, as said before they are using only my stuff, I had to make sure each person got a rifle I have to many lmg and snipers rifles. So i had to just give out what I could so we could play. When I get cash I'll get everyone a m4 or scar and since are gear and everything will match we can share mags and everything. As for the m203 and the 6 shell that's all him. He wants both I'll let him play around with it. He will learn that's just a extra weight since he would probably never use it.

yeah i think we will stick with the marine loadout. a guy says he can get us everything we need for all the loadouts in on big bulk order. minus the m4s for pretty cheap and get us some AOR1 as well. does anyone have a piture of the kit for the "medics" corpsman? she wont get off my case about it. got her to agree on using a cqbr model m4 and it seems to fit her it still a little long for her but if she keeps the crane stock set to zero she should be able to handle it i hope. still would like some help in finding the syles of gear for the genader and support gunner. he wants a "PIG" plate carrier with a chest rig in marine coyote. i guess that is what the mounted gunner has in the theater. i never heard of a PIG carrier. does anyone know what he is talking about?

Marines don't wear AOR. Marines wear Marpat (Temperate & Arid) A corpsman would use the same kit and weapons, as the Marines he's assigned too, except he'd carry a big medic bag.
