I am intensely thankful to live in this rich information age that allows so many passionate people to delve so deeply into niche areas of interest and share the fruits of their work with all of us. My life is much richer and more enjoyable as a result. Owen's great enthusiasm and deep expertise are incredible and abundantly clear. Through all of these Forgotten Weapons videos, I am constantly impressed by Ian's knowledge and intelligence. He is a skilled researcher, presenter, and interviewer - each of which requires its own unique skillset. Mastery of any one of these to the level of mastery demonstrated by Ian is a remarkable achievement in its own right. Thanks for making this available!

not in tiger but there was that 16pouches 20rounder mag vest in od and those 40mm blooper/203 things. when those showed up or how wide spread those may have been... good quesion.

These vests would make an attractive alternative to a standard carry on bag. They would pretty much handle everything you might need/want for a dash out the door trip with the exception of your laptop, but since you are wearing the vest, would it count as carry on luggage? "Hey, it's clothing! Not luggage!"

I love seeing people who are so engaged in their niche. Thank you Ian for bringing this to us!

There's little points here that Owen becomes Nigel Tufnel subconsciously..."no. don't touch it. don't even look at it." Not judging because my love of things and my undiagnosed tism COMPLETELY understand. :) This video made my morning.

I suspect that the vest that unzips from bottom to top was designed so that the wearer could use the aircraft's relief tube ?
