Oh HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!

Gimme a box!

Sounds like these may also be good for Engineers?

Plastic? That is a little surprising, but, THANKS!!!!!

In the words of Pfc Morris Prince, Able, 2nd Rangers.... "Give 'em Heinies hell!"

Yeah baby! So excited! I may have to buy a set. But I have a question. would those rangers be good mixed in with the US infantry? because I have a box of US infantry, no less no more and I have been using marine specialists for flamethrowers, radio operators, streachter bearers and the like for my infantry and am in need for better specialists. I know that rangers had a tactical vest to prevent shrapnal,But would have there have been any other uniform difference.

Ah but are they gonna bring out a set of 2nd Rangers wearing HBT's and Corcorans ??

[Parus Ater]

The assault vest didn't offer any ballistic protection at all but was intended as a replacement for the webbing system. Strangely, despite often being called "the Ranger vest" not many got them. They were largely despised and "lost" by GI's in the weeks following D-Day.

Cool, but please forgive me, I must be getting mixed up with US marine vest used in Vietnam. The green vest in Vietnam would rarely stop a bullet, but was resistant against shrapnal.

[Parus Ater]

Aye no problem. The guys hates them, in theory it was a good idea but in practice they were pretty poorly executed and they were rare things.

Exactly why our US Rangers aren't wearing them!
