My opinion is that this video is misleading... Unless something has an NSN (military National Stock Number) on it, it is not "issued" by the govt/nor approved full scale issue. The S-4's (unit supply personnel) have credit cards and they can buy off the shelf items up to a certain amount and do so on a regular basis, but that does not mean that it is mil spec and durable enough for regular military use. Example: Our S4 bought civilian red dot scopes off the shelf and I was down in a valley at Yakima Training Center emplacing our defenses and I looked up at the hillsides with my PVS7's night vision goggles to where the marksman were that I had emplaced, and their faces glowed like red chemlight targets from the little light in the scopes bouncing back. Having ran a military equipment store and being a veteran, I understand supply from both sides. Example: someone was making aftermarket thick padded ruckstraps. A local person making tactical gear copied the straps. I sold them to Rangers headed to Panama. When they got back, they were furious with me. The untested padding on these straps had collapsed and twisted like noodles. They were humping through the jungle with twisted collapsed cloth as straps cutting into their shoulders. Another time, an SF group deploying came in and we brainstormed for large gear cases 4' by 4' by 4' that they could deploy with. They came back afterwards to say the cases were a flop because as soon as they filled them up with dense body armor, weapons, ammo, etc, they couldn't budge them. People show up at the range all of the time with all of this stuff hanging off of their rifle that they would ditch after having to hump their rifle for 20 miles up at the ready scanning every nook and cranny for a target. So be careful what you put your hopes in and bet your life on. All that glitters is not gold. And if it does glitter, it will attract attention and get you killed.

Thanks!
