Wait a second. That's an RRV, but why is the cummerbund adaptor under the RRV itself?

There's no "flap" on the front of the RRV. If he put the cummerbun over the front, he'd lose PALs webbing area.

One thing that is interesting about the right-hand shooter MK46 guy in the photo, is the placement of his tac light on the left side of the rail system. If there's no tape switch (which is what it looks like on his) then the thumb would be used to activate it, since the light would just have the standard rubber button on it. If that's the case, then the tac-light should be on the right side so that the the left hand thumb is in a more natural position to activate the light. I know it's all preference per individual, but I had to state my observations to see what others have to say.

Does he have something that is more important on the right side of the rail system...maybe? ..Or is it actually better to have it set up that way on a SAW type weapon due to the width of the rail system being wider than a standard M4 set-up? I'm thinking AN/PEQ on the right side...

lol..I was editing my post and remembered the PEQ. Totally forgot about the PEQ system. Jeez..I didn't get enough sleep last night..

I'll say one thing for sure...the Ranger guys look sharp. I still think Ranger Green/smoke green..whatever you wanna call it..is awesome! It really helps with the ACU camo scheme. ACU alone just doesn't cut it.

I've heard mixed opinions on the newer type PEQ's...the PEQ16's. Are they or other units using those on a limited trial or?

The Marines are getting issued the PEQ16s, while the other services are still using the PEQ15s, I believed.

Please, dear god say you can't afford an EI RRV, because if so your parents need to be shot.

An Eagle PC is gonna be cheaper than an RRV and the back plate part ( $170 vs $170+$90). An EPC is also legit ranger kit.

Worry about your primary before your gear.
