| Delta used a CAR-15, if I remember right. You could probably get away with using a Classic Army XM-177E2 though. | |

| CAR-15 was kinda broad too... According to the BHD book they had extensive mods thrown at their carbines, including upgraded hand milled barrels. If you are referencing the movie, Delta's used CAR-15a2(the non triangular hand guard, and normal collapsible stock), M727, M733, XM177e2, and the M14.
I agree with Jarhead, a CA XM177 would be a good base gun. Just trade out that lovely looong flash hider for the standard M16a2 birdcage flashider.

| No that's "PT" body armor. It's the armor that Delta, Seal's, and AFSOC guys wore in the Mog.

| 1-PT body armor 1-LC-2 ALICE gear, buttpack would be good for this one. (or) 1-Blackhawk Industries Omega series static vests, breacher, M4 etc. 1-Alice LC-2 gear
2-DCU's 3-Black boots 4-Black knee pads 5-Black Protec Beta-Classic 6-XM177 w/aimpoint mount on top 7-Light with pressure switch and barrel mount comm's-no idea, I'll have to do a little searching for these.
That's basically it, it's a pretty simple and cheap kit.

| They weren't still using LC-1s then? When did the Army start implementing LC-2 ALICE gear? | |

| According to wiki LC-2 was in the army as early as 77'. Being Delta I know they had the latest and greatest. They even got the BHI Omega's/AA omega's which were AMAZING piece's of kit and very revolutionary at their time.
