Caliber - SEAL - OLD SCHOOL - Hand-made improvements

Given the action on the high seas, SEAL operators were equipped with compact life jackets. One of the variants, the LPU-23, was borrowed from the pilots of carrier-based aircraft. However, the weapons also did not go without hand-made improvements: the front handle was installed on the rifles for ease of holding. Since there was no standard solution for M14 and M16, the operators bolted the handles from Thompson submachine guns, M60 machine guns, and AR-15 from stock reserves as foregrips. As a last resort, a wooden block and the operator’s ability to handle a knife were used.
Of course, there were ready-made solutions, too: small-series TP-1E bulletproof vests, and AN/PVS-5A night vision goggles, as well as modular load-bearing vests and ABA holsters and belts with pouches from the legendary army 1974’s ALICE system. But all this equipment was changed, hemmed, and the output was literally a „piece good.“
