Does anyone have good references photos of P1G-TAC’s toad/zhaba camo?

Looking for photos of the combat shirt, combat pants, fleece jacket, plate carrier, harness system, mag pouch, grenade pouches, medical pouch, and the buttpack.

The reason why I’m asking for a lot is because I plan on having replicas being made since these were made in very few numbers and only for a brief period and I’m 100% sure I won’t even be able to find originals in my size.

WTS VRS vest and M89/M93 pants

This vest type was used by the Bosnian Serb army during the Yugoslav war period between 1992-1995, the vest itself is in great condition, little to no fading on the camouflage material, all snaps close and open without having to worry about them breaking, only the front zipper is damaged.

The M89/M93 camouflage pattern is a staple of both the Serbian military and the VRS/SVK who used it as well. This pair does have stains and both pockets have holes on the inside however, due to this being a very large pair for European standards there's plenty of fabric that can be reused to make a vest or chest rig (which was a very common practice for all sides the Yugoslav wars as the WW2 style and Warsaw pact style web gear was obsolete by this time). This pair was made in 1994 so it would be period correct for the VRS during the Bosnian War, SVK during the Croatian War and Serbian army during the Kosovo war.

I originally got this vest for $185.00 so I'm discounting it due to the front zipper not working so if you think about it all you have to do is replace it so it can be fully functional and you're getting the pants for free!

I remember getting lots of hate for this but my opinion is unchanged, in the Come and See movie they should have shown the ambush of the German unit near the end of the movie.

Come and See is widely regarded as one of the best WW2 movies ever made along with the best anti-war movie, which I agree with but still have a differing opinion as stated in the title.

When I made a comment about this suggestion people stated it would “ruin” the movie by showing a revenge/payback cliche that’s common in war movies but I’d argue it still shows that anyway since the remaining survivors of the ambush were shown to be gunned down by the partisans so what exactly does my suggestion even change? It’s literally almost the same thing but on a bigger scale and it shows us HOW only a few survived the ambush.

I’m not saying the main character Flyora has to take part (as through out the movie he does have a rifle but never uses it up until the end to shoot the portrait of Hitler and in the same thread a user states they were annoyed with this and people agreed but when I suggest how it could’ve been used in a natural way I got hate for it???) nor am I asking for a glorious combat scene since the whole movie was very dark, disturbing, gritty, and raw I’m sure the director could’ve figured out a way to adapt the scene to fit his style.

Either way in this hypothetical scene they could’ve shown him not being present but still showing the ambush in order to keep him detached from combat, Flyora taking part and using his rifle, or him being there but not taking part and then in either of these two last scenarios the Hitler portrait was replaced with one of the survivors and then the scene would’ve hit much harder as it’s a real person we see staring down the barrel of a gun rather than an inanimate object.

Would I be a jerk for doing this?

Context: one of my coworkers used to be a FS supervisor/manager but later went back to being an associate, he’s super annoying when it comes to calls (ie questioning if you brought a locked up item to the registers or let the customer take it) and DESPITE this annoying behavior he’ll always pass off the keys to me (I’m just a regular associate).

Idk what his game is here, either just being a prick or doing this just in case an item gets stolen he’ll pin the blame on me since he always wants to know what items are brought up to the register. I don’t like being difficult but why the hell is he annoying me so bad about the bringing items up to the register when he can always do it himself? Am I in any position to say no if he insists on “asking” me catch calls? I never get an opportunity to say no because he’s passive aggressive when giving me the keys.

I also don’t want to risk getting in trouble for saying no because idk if he went back to being a manager but once I’m able to confirm he’s not then he’s literally just bossing me around even though we’re at the same level so if he tries doing it again I’ll ask a real manager so he can’t make me do it anymore because even if I do still have to catch calls at least it won’t give him the satisfaction of telling me to do it.

Technically not a land vehicle but here it goes, unfinished LTTE submarine.

The LTTE had a wide variety of water assets, the most common were gun boats and suicide boats, however they also made submersibles. This on the other hand appears to be a genuine attempt at making a submarine, however the civil war in Sri Lanka ended before it was ever finished so its effectiveness is unknown but the rust on the frame makes it seem like they didn’t intend for it to go very deep despite it’s large size.

Since the M14 was adopted by in 1957 but specific magazine pouches for the M14 weren’t made until 1961 what magazine pouches did the USMC use between 1957-1960?

The only thing I could think of are BAR magazine belts but I could not find any photos of this.

How to ask about modules without seeming combative/rude?

For context my coworkers get to do their modules in the office and while it’s not my turn yet I want to know how I can ask to do my modules in the office rather than having to do it on the floor/register.

Because it’s unfair that they get to sit down and chill without having to worry about catching calls or ringing up customers.

Yesterday I took over as first check and instead of it being “quick” like my manager said I was stuck there for 3 hours.

Are there really no repro of WW1 Russian canteens, mess kits, and grenades?

All the canteens and mess kits on eBay look like they’ve been through every forest and snowstorm in Siberia (I know they’re over a century old but still) and for grenades the only modern option I see are 3d printed replicas which I suppose are fine but I would prefer metal replicas.

Schusters does make replicas of the glass canteens however they use clear glass but based on my research the ones used in WW1 were dark green and they don’t include a closure for it and they don’t make a carrier for it either.

Hey everyone, how do you resist the urge to eat?

I don’t really have extra hobbies to keep myself occupied such as gaming or sports, nor do I really have the energy to go out on my own because I’m exhausted from work since I already walk an average of 5-10k steps per shift.

I know for a fact that I’m eating too much though.

WW1 Germany (now with pics)

Can someone help me ID the uniforms and gear of these German soldiers? Along with sources on where to get replicas of each piece, my goal is to recreate the standard “look” of the typical infantry rifleman without any being based on a specific unit as the purpose is supposed to capture the average soldier during this time, photos are dated between 1916-1918.

Need help regarding WW1 and 1920s era army uniforms and gear

So I want to make impressions of the following: 1916-1918 German army, 1920s Russian red army and white army enlisted infantry riflemen.

I’m aware this time period is more niche than WW2 however if possible I want to avoid any niche/boutique level companies because I don’t want to buy something and then a week or month later when I want to buy another thing they either stop responding because they can only be contacted through Facebook/email or their page/group inexplicably disappears.

Also while I say 1920s I’m aware a majority of equipment and uniforms used by both of the Russian armies would have been from WW1/Imperial Russia.

Also if anyone wants to provide links to videos/articles then that’s fine too but if the person doesn’t speak English/if there’s no translation and/or they don’t specify where they get their items then it wouldn’t be helpful due to it being too generic as I already know what I need, I just need to know where to get it.
