More uses for the bandoleer.

Thanks for the article in PS 637 (Dec 05) about removing the white slip stitching at the bottom of the M16 rifle M16 rifle
 or AR-15

Assault rifle adopted as a standard weapon by the U.S. Army in 1967. The M16, designed by Eugene M. Stoner in the 1950s for the ArmaLite Division of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corp., has both semiautomatic and automatic capabilities.
 or M4/M4A1 carbine's bandoleer to turn it into a carrier for eight magazines. Many soldiers didn't know about that handy trick.

There are a couple of other things soldiers need to remember about the bandoleer:

Keep the speedloader that comes with the bandoleer. It will make loading magazines in the Field much easier.

Don't throw away the bandoleer's safety pin, either. The safety pin is provided to attach the bandoleer to your uniform so it doesn't bounce around. But in the Field you'll find it's also handy for temporarily fixing tears in your clothing or holding the camo band to your helmet.

Hope this helps other soldiers.
