Puma Pirate (20mm) 
Tacticool bic: 
Chasseurs alpins outside of their mountains:

France has quietly been kicking ass and taking names in Africa for awhile now.

Is the 20mm a 20x137?

I dig their camo pattern.
Who knew the famas could get uglier, though?

Nice. Some nifty gear on those guys....although, the lack of gloves and eyepro in some of the pictures has to have a CSM somewhere clawing his eyes out
 (I got "talked to" about that after a couple hour rolling fight through a neighborhood in Iraq where we had a photographer with us..."Where were the gloves/eyepro??" Yeah...umm...shit fogs up)Intrigued by the long gun with the oblong thing on the end. It doesn't look like a silencer or muzzle break. ETA: It looks finned...is that a rifle grenade? |

In the first pic, the fabric wrapped around the rifle.
What is the purpose of that? To keep Sun reflections down off the metal? Camouflage?

Love the AMX-10RC. The US Army should have just bought some of those 2 decades ago instead of dicking around with various mobile gun systems for years to finally plop one on a Stryker.

I dig their camo pattern. It's impressively effective in that environment. It would make a great all round camo - less green and more brown than the old Woodland. |
