Holster

What kind of holster is this?

Closeup of King's SIG in "Captain" (S1E01).

Think it is an Uncle Mike's Kydex holster. --commando552 (talk) 10:36, 1 October 2012 (EDT)

The one in the show has a button release. Excalibur01 (talk) 00:07, 2 October 2012 (EDT)

Where's the button, I can't see it in that image. --commando552 (talk) 05:09, 2 October 2012 (EDT)

Oh wait, nevermind. I thought his index finger is over a button cause there's an indention Excalibur01 (talk) 09:52, 2 October 2012 (EDT)

There seems to be a continuity error with the SIG, too. In the second screenshot, he's using an early-model P226 with a stamped slide, but the one in the holster is a newer generation model (probably a P226R), as evidenced by the milled slide with external extractor. -MT2008 (talk) 12:55, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

M4gery?

Is this guy's M4's barrel a bit too long? Excalibur01 (talk) 21:37, 5 October 2012 (EDT)

I think it is a regular M4. On first glance I thought it looked long, but when I actually measured it, I think it is about right. I think there is kind of an optical illusion with the front sight blending in with the guys arm making the exposed length of barrel appear longer. --commando552 (talk) 06:19, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

Woodland Camo

Aren't the woodland BDUs worn by the Russians very outdated for the US Army, especially Delta, who I believe issues Multicam. Shouldn't this have revealed to the Colorado Crew that these weren't real American SF operators. --SmithandWesson36 (talk) 22:19, 5 October 2012 (EDT)

• insert the Navy is stupid joke*. We would be able to tell just from the guns in general. Like why would Delta be using old style CAR-15s? But at least the Russians are wearing Woodland camo while all the Navy guys got the blue camo. Excalibur01 (talk) 00:07, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

Maybe they wear any camo to not give away their identity (if actual Delta Force)? I dunno. I could be wrong. Ominae (talk) 01:32, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

It isn't that farfetched to assume that American SF would wear camouflage that is suitable to the environment they are operating in. For instance, American SF troops (Green Berets and MARSOC) have continued to wear woodland BDUs in Afghanistan and the Philippines. Since the island is mostly jungle, woodland BDUs would probably have been what actual American SF troops would've been wearing in those circumstances. --Markit (talk) 02:19, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

Agree on that. I believe that Spetsnaz commandos wore them so that they won't be easily identified as Russian SOF. IIRC, this is a doctrine most SF are trained to do. Ominae (talk) 04:22, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

Good point. I think aside from the CAR-15s, it would have been impossible to tell they weren't US troops. Excalibur01 (talk) 11:58, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

CAR-15s?

Can someone watch the episode again because I am not sure what kind of CAR-15s those are. They look like 733s because of the short barrels and the suppressors but now I'm not sure. Excalibur01 (talk) 12:18, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

21 Gun Salute?

In Episode 3, Kendal talks about the Captain's son getting a 21 Gun salute. What is he talking about? I thought only heads of state receive that honor. --Ben41 (talk) 01:56, 17 October 2012 (EDT)
