French Foreign Legion
 

I'd like to know exactly what the Legionnaires are wearing. The french BDU probably , but then ? what kind of vests are they wearing etc.

I'd love to give you guys some pictures to deal with , but i just cant find any that shows those kind of details very clearly :banghead:

Go there i seen some pic of legionnaire somewhere on this site

http://www.lalegion.ch/picstore

Hope this help

Check sur Militaryphotos.net dans la section stricly photos and videos.

Ya meme un video des legionnaire en train de botter des culs séverement!!
Ils ont une espece de grosse veste ballistique qui m'a dlair très lourde et encombrante....

En tk check ca, ya énormément de photos, beaucoup des francais en action... Pour ce qui est de savoir exactement le nom de l'équipement, c'est surment posté sur le thread des photos. Autrement, link les photos sur le forum de france airsoft et les geardos (y appellent ca comme ca) vont te dire qui quoi ou comment pourquoi et bla bla bla sur comment en trouver.

merci beaucoup Fox !

je tenterai de retracer ces informations et je vous en donnerai des nouvelles !

Les légionnaires utilise exactement le même équipement que l'armée francaise. Y'as juste les uniforme de parade qui change. Tout ce qui a trait au combat c'est la meme chose.

I didn't want to start a new thread so I'll bump this one.

What sidearms do the Legion use ? Also , what is the difference between Woodland and Centre Europe pattern ?

thanks !

Pistols would be the same as the regular French Army. Beretta M92F or even the Sig P226 would be used.

ok thanks ! Also , does anyone know a good place where you can buy patches from all over the world ?

Trouve un forum d'airsoft du pays qui t'intéresse. En espérant qui parlent francais ou anglais. Les surplus d'armés ont souvent des patchs fuckés...

Si tu cherche du stock de la Légion étrangère, va sur france airsoft, yen a surment a vendre.

centre europe is a softer pattern, the lines arnt as bold as in woodlands. I have sets of both camo, and i prefer the real deal centre europe. Much more comfy camo. The shapes in the camo arnt as prominent, it flows together alot better than woodlands.

They wear the spectre helmet now i believe, i have the older metal one.. the F2 i believe it is. I was gonna go french when i had my famas, but i sold that, and still have the helmet and the camo, its nice stuff.

;)

ill see if i can find some pictures of my camo. Pics will be like 3 years old...but yeah lol

Thats centre europe camo yeah, with the older style metal helmet ,i believe it is either the f1 or f2. I want to track down one of the spectra ones. Any idea on what assault rig they have? Im sorry if you listed it, i cant understand french all that well lol.
For the person that wanted a comparison to woodlands, thats the russian version of woodlands, so is somewhat similar, but like i said CE is a lighter pattern, not as bold colors.

très beau ton kit alex. C'est a peu près exactement ce que je veux , Ã* part que je n'aime pas trop les casques , je risque de porter le béret vert avec l'insigne de la Grenade Ã* 7 flammes plus souvent.

hi

we see on this other picture

that the vest ( ro rig????) is a m83 south african, in od.
French soldier didn't use this, but they have used the original model ( orange color) and now we can see fex soldier withe south-african m83 in centre europe or in woodland :!:

The helmet f1 is alredary use in all the unit ( and the para use it always, because they can't jump with spectra :smack: )
the spectra ( that is similar as a pasgt) is only use in opex ( afrique, liban, afghanistan ect...)

i do tell you that the frenche treillis are not the best :oops: , but when we like something... :angel:

pour hypérion, wep la beret c'est bon, par contre gaffe aux cheveux a ce moment la :-D

Salut!
Excellent photos de 1REC-1Regiment Etrangere de Cavalerie - de missions en Afrique. Quelque scabreux.
