Quote HistoryQuoted: Did we ever figure out what that even means? Was it just an LPVO on a lightweight barrel? I think the problem with the whole RECCE fad is people were building rifles and not understanding that RECCE or in actual murican, recon is all about. It's a mission not a rifle. If you watch Jeff Gurwitch, he was doing recon in plain clothes shoot me first vests with MP5s in Iraq. I love his videos by the way. He wasnt loaded down with a whole bunch of gear and a big rifle with a bunch of crap hanging off of it. I was a palace pogue and only got to make PP slides when I was there so it was cool to see what people were doing outside the wire while I was shitting in one of Saddam's old bathrooms and drinking way too much coffee. All of the tubers were trying to make up all of this stuff for people to buy and throw on themselves and their guns. They ended up with almost their same loadouts they had without plates. People were so focused on the rifle, which optic, which can, what light, what barrel length, and the chest rig full of magazines and poagie bait that they neglected the why, the how, and the skills to do a recon. I get it. The rifle building part is a lot of fun and jaw jacking about all of the details is entertaining. I do the same thing. I can tell you now, if I absolutely had to do a recon in my neighborhood, I would probably have an SBR and pistol in my truck and drive around seeing what's going on in my regular civilian clothes. Not wearing a big fat chest rig and a kitted out "RECCE" rifle with 10lbs of accesories because that would make me stand out and look out of place. I would also not be on foot because that would also look out of place. The truck would allow me to get the hell out of the area quickly as the point is not to get into a big firefight. RECCE was just a cool sounding word that everyone gravitated towards and gave people a few years of content to put on the internet and some fantasies about doing recon, which is often boring as shit if you have ever done it. |

Good post. It’s mission driven. RECON. Yeah, you have a rifle in case it goes south. But the mission is be low profile or even better move like a ghost in the night even if it’s broad daylight and not been seen at all. Move to a perch or angle to check things out, slink back into the hideout without being seen or if you are seen you don’t draw attention or worse get into a gunfight with a bunch of goons wanting to pinch your hardware and can of beans. |
