What Busse blade would you take into combat part II
- Thread starter Matteo Escobar
- Start date
The EU-17 magnum appears to be the way to go. Scott, the AK would be an effective bayonet if you attached it to that Barrett M82A1.
Imagine seeing that running accross the field of battle: a man with a 50cal Barrett with a bloodied AK with a Battle Mistress in his other hand...
Frightening image.

Hmmmm. I've thought about this many times and if I absolutely had to walk back out there.............Satin Jack. Here was the loadout for individual gear that I can remember (maybe Nick can relate).....from head to toe:
Kevlar brain bucket (protractor inside)
BDU's (and as always, dogtags)
Soft cover
Fragmentation vest
LBE with:
Motorola radio (for MOS)
First aid pouch (two dressings)
Compass
Mini-mag
6 loaded rifle magazines
M9 pistol w/extra magazine
Protective mask
2 one quart canteens, 1 two quart canteen
Bayonet, Kabar/MkII
2 frags, 1 smoke grenade or flashbang
M16A1 w/magazine
Handcuffs
Flexcuffs
Gloves
Pockets:
Issue sunglasses
Map
Camo stick
Chewing tobacco (yikes!)
Bug juice (Deep Woods Off)
Tinker SAK
1 MRE
1 flare
Some kind of reference manual--or several (something always breaking)
Anything else that could be found and used.
And standard issue boots under all of that.
Did I leave anything out?! Light ruck for us was 40 pounds--heavy was around 70. That was before extra ammo, M60 stuff or the radio. I always thought rucksacks would be MUCH more practical with those pull-out handles and little wheels like airport luggage!
Satin Jack. Or maybe the Fusion Outlaw for extended or primitive stays..............
