I've done this before when on ex. When you're not needing them, you just slip them around your ankles cause its more comfortable. However, they look like they might need them soon so yeah, I don't know why they don't have them on. |
i was thinking they might restrict movement a bit ... ? no yes prok? |
yeah they do. to keep them on well you need to do them up pretty tight. so they restrict movement. you wouldn't really want to walk around with them on for a really long time, but they save your knees a lot of pain in urban combat.
their also good for section attacks. I don't know if they still teach that in the states or not, but they do here. basically take 2 steps go prone, take another 2 go prone, your knees get a lot of work. this is for assulting a trench. their kind of phasing it out though.
also, if i were issued elbow pads, i wouldn't wear them. when i was on course i developed calises on my elbows from firing in prone so much on different surfaces. after you do it enough you don't need elbow pads. also they would restrict motion way too much.
what some prok?
