Week in Review:

Ryan: -Made jerky and nyc and the pier 46 museum

Jason K Entry in the 1990’s Loadout Contest:

If I was a private investigator from 1992 – 1996 based in LA, I would like to think I would have learned of the

volatility and violence that took place during the 92 LA Riots. I would also like to think that as an Eagle Scout, I

would like to go by the motto of “Be Prepared”. With that in mind I also believe that over kill is underrated…..

I would be dressed in a custom khaki slacks, a light button down shirt, a solid tie, and dark blue sports coat.

The benefits of the custom suit would be having it tailored specifically to fit and conceal my accompaniment of

tools and toys that I would be carrying on a daily basis. I would also have a good high quality gun belt, not

sure of the best available at this time period.

For a primary sidearm I think I would have to go with a Dornaus & Dixon Enterprises Bren 10 if for no other

reason then 10 mil is the best mil. I figured that 10 rounds of 155 gr moving at 1500 fps of underwood should

convince just about anyone or anything to leave me alone. The Bren 10 would be in a custom horizontal

shoulder holster under my left arm, and I would also have a 3 or 4 mag holder anchoring and balancing my

shoulder holster under my right arm.

At 4 o’clock on my hip, for a back up gun I would have an modified Smith 39 in the ASP format, rocking the

Guttersnipe sight system and the clear lexan grips. Seven rounds of 9mm may not seem like a lot by todays

standards, but back in the mid 90s, seven rounds of 9mm in a gun that size seems pretty good. I would also have 2

extra mags on my belt at 9 O’clock.

Additionally I would have some tools to help my daily activities. In my left chest jacket pocket I would have a

sparrow lock pick set, in my right pocket a flask of Woodford Reserve. In my right jacket waist pocket I would have

a black jack, in my left pocket I would have my pipe, tabaco pouch, and matches, along with some business cards

so I can leave them with potential leads. In my back right pants pocket I would have my bill fold and a Benchmade

balisong or Osborne, I’m not sure what Benchmades were available at that time, and in my left pocket I would have

a Surefire 6P flashlight in a holster to keep it upright in my pocket.

In my 1967 Shelby GT500, think Elinor from gone in sixty seconds, I would have:

A Pentex K1000 with several lenses, covering everything from macro to telephoto.

A have a police scanner.

An extra change of clothes.

A fingerprint dusting kit.

Maybe a kilo of cocaine or a rolled up wad of $100 dollar bills with a rubber band around, to bargain with for

those intense negotiations for intel.

A halligan tool and sledge hammer.

Parabolic mic and listening and recording equipment

Swarovski binoculars

And for my long gun, stored in Elinor, I would have a HK 51. Incase you are not familiar with it, it’s a modified

G3/HK91. It is a full auto 308 with an 8 inch barrel. I have personally shot one of these, and holly shit….. Ian

of forgotten weapons describes it appropriately when he refers to it as “HK51: The SAS’ Full Auto Flashbang

Dispenser” HK51: The SAS’ Full Auto Flashbang Dispenser (forgottenweapons.com) The standard mags pack

20 rds of 7.62 but I would have addition mags stored with the rifle and it would definitely have a quality quick

adjust sling.
