IDF pic in news story...what's wrong with this picture?

[Alpha2]

I have to add, my trophy wife spotted it immediately! I'm so proud.

And no, it's not the Meprolights, they actually make them there.

I'd say the optics, BUT it seems i mistook a street & sidewalk for a fence, last week ?

Purple is not a good camouflage color...

[SideShow Bob]

Empty chamber flags........... Must be a staged photo.
Or they are using those orange rubber bullets.....

Beat me to it. Looks like a nice photo otherwise, lol.

[ChunkyMonkey]

Just an image of a training exercise in the winter. What am I missing?

It's the Old Navy, retaliation collection. Soldier tested, Rabbi approved.

Ok, you now owe me a new keyboard! Too damn funny.

Jerry Seinfeld would never be caught dead in purple holding a weapon with the sight on backwards.

[Skully]

....... with the sight on backwards.


???? huh ???

That is a MEPRO reflex sight, not an Eotech, it is correct in its mounting.


Don't get the purple everyone is mentioning, according to my screen looking closely at his jacket it looks gray.......... [cigar]

Kind of like this;

sideshow bob for the win! Empty chamber flags. And, yes the sight is on correctly.

I told my wife I thought he looked like Jerry Seinfeld, also, but she didn't see it.

Who are these people!

[brutal]

Looks like purple fleece to me. Most likely faded from black.

At least he's not wearing this

The chamber flags were the first thing to catch my eye but there's a reason we make 'em bright orange. As ChunkyMonkey said, looks like a training exercise in winter.

I think you might be colorblind

Eh, his fleece looks like the kind of purplish washed-out gray that you get when you put dark gray stuff through the wash a couple hundred times.

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

No one has requested a pic of said trophy wife?

Still pretty purple either way

My monitor shows it a fairly vibrant purple considering it seems a bit dirty.

That is probably a training exercise photo but the IDF also uses a mag carrier that is a bolt block thingy? They have some sort regulation about loaded mags inserted in guns while in civilian populated areas? It inserts into the bolt chamber and holds the mag externally.

[Alpha2]

It actually fits in the magwell.

And this is what my trophy wife looks like through my love-goggles.

Where can I get some of those goggles, without having to drink a beer or twelve ?

[Alpha2]

Jack Daniels sells them. They're attractively packaged in a bottle! I know! How cute! A veritable marketing coup!
