Heat
exhaustion could be a lethal problem, with each soldier carrying
50lb-70lb's of equipment in temperatures of 40 degrees centigrade with

and easily concealed what this gun lacks in power it makes up for with
it's surprise factor.

guerrilla forces.
|

Britain, and if all else fails use the weapons side protruding magazine
to take out an eye or two.

that was known to be used by VC guerrillas.

PRC-77
- use this 40 pound plus pile of metal to designate an RTO
. It's also handy for calling in the big guns should you find
yourself in that type of situation.

NVA Pith
Helmet - these helmets may fetch a nice penny from some REMF who wants to impress
his family back home, but those looking for serious head protection
should look elsewhere.
|

Hat -
This boonie hat can provide protection from sun while keeping the head
area cool, but note that it's lead protecting abilities are far less
adequate.
