Tactical Gear Is Tough, But Can Be Easy To Overlook

Having had a chance to see the operation of 511 Tactical Westheimer several times, I can attest that it is in fact extremely well put together and reliable. The material that they use is not only up to the job, but also very tough and long lasting.

When we see the unit at work, it certainly seems to be very sophisticated in nature. It appears that this is one piece of military equipment that will not fail. They do, however, take a few small risks when the time comes to actually use them.

In the last war with Iraq, standard issue gear consisted of thermal goggles, a lightweight chinstrap, combat boots, Kevlar bulletproof vests, and disposable magazines for assault rifles. Today's version of combat equipment also includes a vest made of Teflon, portable communication devices, gas masks, a chest pack containing a 13-day supply of oxygen, and an infrared gun sight system.

The tactical vest is held in place by compression straps that run the length of the torso and over the lower back. In addition, there are also two external bracelets which overlap in a similar fashion to a backpack strap. This type of armor is also called the Tactical Gear Armor.

It is very important to remember that even though the tactical vest is designed to protect you from gunfire, it is not able to stop small arms fire. It is critical that you train with this gear and keep a watchful eye on your enemy while wearing it.

The light weight of the tactical vest allows it to be carried under normal combat conditions. For example, you may be looking for cover while taking cover behind a rock or log while enemy forces are harassing your position with small arms fire.

This type of equipment will allow you to keep your head low so that the rifle sights will not interfere with your vision and you can focus on your enemy. This in turn will make it easier to hit your target, especially if you have the weapon trained on him.

Another type of tactical gear is the concealed or deployable gas mask. It is a chemical agent filter mask that is worn like a regular gas mask but it has a vent-style hood that opens to reveal a face mask.

The tactical mask will block 90% of the toxicity and breathing irritants of chemical agents. The mask should be placed on top of the tactical vest or carried in a closed messenger style bag.

The tactical equipment includes a third type of equipment called the blowback pistol. This type of equipment is similar to a sniper rifle, although it is fired from an open bolt, rather than a bolt-action rifle.

With this device, it is possible to get your first shot off without using live ammunition, since it fires its ammunition out of a closed chamber. There is no need to reload after every shot as you would with a bolt action rifle.

Most of the equipment that is used in this type of tactical gear is a mix of flashlights, cell phones, and equipment that is used to monitor the situation. It is hard to say what is more impressive, the fact that the tactical gear is very sturdy and tough, or the fact that it can be carried to a remote location by the person wearing it.
