Nice.
To me, you look like some of the guys I've seen guarding Dignitaries.

Sweet, I'm not a complete dummy.
I can also see that either I'm going to have to make my M16 into a M4, or save up some cash for the new WE GBB PDW. Either way, I need something more compact.
However, I did see some pics of real PMCs rockin' ARs, but not too many. My hats still up in the air on that one.
edit> Upon having the book in front of me, I'm almost thinking of basing my M16 on the M4 variant on the cover of Robert Young Pelton's "Licensed to Kill". That is a damn pretty blaster. I wish I had a pic of it to post.

Yes, that one!
With the exception of the grip. I think for that, a smaller grip would be better. It's a beaut though.
But I'm still weighing the option of whether I should actually break my M16 down to a M4, versus buying a new gun.
I mean, I'm certainly limited on movement in CQ. Cutting a corner, or slicing the pie with my AR isn't that difficult for me, it's maneuvering elsewhere with a rifle that comes up to my naval.
I'm a little over five foot eight and the barrel ends right at my belly button, and to swing it around in CQ, I could possibly do more damage to my rifle, or a friendly, than to my opponent.
Like I said, I seen some pics of real Contractors with ARs, but I'm sure that goes with knowing what your up against beforehand.

A SystemA? Crazy! You know, I've always thought that seems more like a fishing vest, but looking into them more in the recent years, plus 5.11 mking some quality gear, means that it's BA.
Now where's you're OTHER rig...?

He he he, I'm actually debating making a 6.8 CQB.
Actually you can roll with the vest over body armor. Its got pockets for pistol(S) and plenty of mags of many assortments. and god knows what else.

well either contractor that went nuts after getting out of the military as most do and got covered in ink or a merc. I don't mind either but lean toward the Merc. Just a really organized one.

But aren't all Grunts already nuts before they get out? I recently heard from DemocracyNow that allegedly Xe (Link still says Blackwater) has been given the go ahead to kidnap and assassinate Taliban and other key figure-heads. If true, that means no longer can Xe be considered a "security" force, crossing that line from Contractor, to Mercenary. I didn't get a chance to finish the program because I fell asleep halfway through it, but I managed to get it on DVR to catch up to later. On top of that, Erik Prince is also rumored to having a former employee murdered for getting ready to spill his beans to the...I believe it was the Feds. I should also add that in the same interview between Amy Goodman and Jeremy Scahill, Scahill noted that there are two former Xe employees in hiding waiting to come forward with evidence that Prince is responsible for the said death. This was last week on DemocracyNow. It almost seems as Scahill has something against Contractors. Hes very intense when he talks about PMCs.
