    I still have plenty of 21st century toys items that I bought from Toys R Us, they made sooooo many things that no other toy company has made yet, stuff like the stoner 63, or the navy seal m60, or the XM148 Grenade launcher, or the Grizzly Big Boar 50 cal sniper rifle, or my favorite the china lake grenade launcher. Literally so many weapons that no one else has made since they made them.

      It was something Nick Brokhausen got from his Uncle Otto. He preferred to wear it instead of the US M1 on some heavy missions and loaned it out to other folks, including Eldon Bargewell. There’s a few photos of him wearing it if you Google him.

    This is a very nice SEAL team, one of the best ones I've seen.The navy seals would also wear jeans because they also weren't as sloshy in water than the the erdl pants making them popular. Another interesting note is that most SEALs would only have 1 canteen compared to other special teams because their missions would only be a couple hours long. Not to say this set is bad, because it is incredible but I thought those are some interesting things to note.

    • @fossildude181
      @fossildude181 Před 4 měsíci

      That bit on the pants is good tradecraft. Hadn’t heard the bit about the canteens though, that makes sense if they’re just doing raids. As a follow-up, any other notes for gear?

    • @joemic7981
      @joemic7981 Před 4 měsíci

      ​@fossildude181 sorry for the late reply but I don't think they wore buttpacks on missions either. If you want a very detailed description on the basic web setups and uniforms there is a militaria forum I frequent called U.S. militaria forum. If you go there and search Vietnam navy seal impression the first thread that appears on it goes in depth on the basic setups they would have and there is an expert ( user named SPIKE) who gives alot of good information. I would post the link to it but for some reason youtube isn't allowing me to post the reply with it. Just a suggestion if you want more information on them.

      I understand your concern, and I’ll try to address it. These are made as tributes to these men and, where possible, I try to talk to the individuals involved before I make a piece based off of them - to make sure I’ve got their approval and that it’s a good representation. One of these pieces is currently in the museum 5th Group runs and a Shriver for their SOG exhibit is ironically one of the pieces they’ve expressed interest in.
