Okay adding my EU gear to the thread.
First and foremost my P.I.G Gunner impression:
I first put the weapon together in 2005. The PIG is my interpretation of the Phased-plasma Infantry Gun from the Tech Manual:
(In the above pic- the battery is attached to my armour. This was how I carried it pre-2007. Afterward I created a lighter more summer-friendly uniform.)
The uniform is based on a Smart-gunner's gear (minus the steadycam harness). Standard BDUs, M1969 flak vest, black ballcap, tactical gloves, and headset. I decided to keep my greaves- I've always enjoyed pretending I was Hicks putting them on during the "Ready for the Drop" sequence!
The new, lighter PIG battery pack.
I decided to go with UA Army as it would be army equipment supplied to the Marines no?
My friendly warning (the idea is a message to a sniper- I'll level the whole f---ing street you're on!)
Unofrtunately in 2009 while crossing the US/Canadian border on my way to D-Con, US Homeland Security decided that an inert PVC pipe configured to look like an AT4 (what they thought it was), along with a hollow water jug with a headphone jack and wire attached (the battery pack), was deemed a prohibited device to bring into the United States. The confiscated it, the battery and some other miscellanious item, declaring they be destroyed.

This is a repainted Nerf Vulcan.

My Marine Space Aviator:
The idea here was that if Dropships were like the Huey helicopters in the Vietnam war, then there should be a USCM equivalent of the F-105s or F-4 Phantoms that flew in that conflict. This is my version of what a "fast mover" pilot would look like in the USCM.
It is an RAF Mk14 flightsuit, custom subdued USCM patches, Nomex gloves, and a Canadian Forces flight helmet and survival vest. I have a S&W 4506 in my holster.
