The vest was unique (and popular with SF and PSD (Personal Security Detail) units at the time due to its flexibility and comfort, this was achieved using a series of overlapping silicon carbide ceramic disks in a fashion similar to scale armour.

In real life, Kyle actually chose to wear a personally purchased Dragon Skin Armour system from a now long gone company called Pinnacle Armor.Various companies make RRV type chest rigs, In fact Eagle Industries, Blackhawk!, Warrior and HSGI based their most popular chest rigs on the core design.
A very good rig with a lot of options available for load carriage and also with other impressions such as Lone Survivor using the same set up. Body Armour (Armor to my US readers) is a PACA soft armour covert vest with a Tan or Khaki Pantac (Presumably to stand in for an Eagle Industries) Rhodesian Recon Vest (RRV) MOLLE vest sat on top paired with a triple/dual 5.56 mag pouch (could be 3 dual pouches) and a pair of smoke pouches. The model shown in the film are the Moab Ventilator Mid/Highs, but it’s not known for sure which model Kyle actually wore. The boots have been identified as Merrells, this would fit in with what Kyle actually wore when in Iraq. Kyle wears a pretty standard set of “Raid Modified” Desert Combat Uniform BDUs, A pretty standard choice for SEAL Teams of that era. Do your research and work out what the essential bits are for your overall goal. I’ve seen some cheap and very good impressions done in the past and on the other hand you can spend a lot whilst not quite nailing that look your after. I’ve broken this article down into two sections… Gear and Weapons, looking at his combat load-out and the applications they would have possibly been chosen for, As I started doing the research it’s surprising how far down the rabbit hole you can go, With impressions there is always that little bit further you can go and it’s a personal choice as to how you approach it. The use of a plate carrier and ballistic helmet might not be what you first associate with sniping but in a highly dangerous environment such as Ramadi, it’s essential lifesaving gear. As such, his gear is somewhat heavier and better armoured than you might think of as a typical sniper loadout. Primarily his role was that of a sniper, providing overwatch for other units during urban operations. It was a time of transition in terms of the equipment used on the battlefield, evidenced in the film by the sheer amount of different weapons used by Kyle over the space of four combat tours. However this is only touched upon lightly and if you’re after a more comprehensive look at PTSD I’d recommend a read of Battle Scars by Jason Fox, I’ll get into the core of what we’re here to look at…Ĭhris Kyle was a Sniper serving as part of Charlie/Cadillac Platoon, SEAL Team 3 in Iraq as part of the Global War on Terror (GWOT). Survivor Guilt, Haunted by the choices he had to make and a constant battle with his demons. MK 11 MOD 0 AIRSOFT MOVIE
It’s not an easy tale to tell, So soon to the events portrayed and with the conflict The movie has been accused of not delving into Kyle’s mental battle, however I think Clint Eastwood (Director) and Bradley Cooper (Who portrayed Kyle) actually our across his feelings in a pretty subtle way. Much like 13 hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi it’s been used by both sides of the political fence to define the other. The American Sniper article is one that I have been meaning to do since day one of ATRG and it should be known that I have a love hate relationship with American Sniper, on the one hand it’s an enjoyable and thought provoking film but on the other, I feel there was more of a story to tell that for the sake of political film making just didn’t happen. Ultimately they are there as a resource, A guide on what to use should you wish to recreate a certain loadout or desire a bit of kit you’ve seen. I try to keep adding to each and every one of these as more information becomes apparent. Often it’s one of you guys, someone who reads the article that’ll come up with the key bit of information that helps me track it down (See “ The Hunt” for more information on this).

It’s been a couple of months since my last gear anatomy where I covered Tears Of The Sun, It’s a labour of love whenever I decide to go “balls deep” into a movie or TV Show’s kit list but I have to admit it does frustrate me when I know it’s a simple bit of kit but finding the exact one isn’t as simple as typing “SEAL Team jacket” into google.
