This is the kind the Army uses. 
These are the specific gloves that the Army uses, they are armored. |

That's what I'm talking about. Concertina and gauntlet gloves. |

Concertina is good stuff but if you know what you're doing it's also pretty easy to breach a triple standard concertina barrier. God, this thread brings up some memories, (12B 1986-1992) Ditto. 12b 1988-1991 16th Engineers, Furth, Germany. |

I'd like to say a hearty Fuck You to the asshole who decided to leave 3 full rolls of concertina buried in the sage on YTC. It took us almost a full day to cut it out of my Bradley tracks.
That shit can stop anything. |

We had concertina cutters as part of our BII but we broke 3 sets of them trying. We ended up with bolt cutters , hammers and chisels, hacksaws. The medics trained well that day. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I ran an 1151 into one strand of c wire once in the middle of a rainy night in the triangle of death. I had to use an angle grinder to get it off the axle and out of the brake. Then I had to change the tire in about 2 ft of mud. C wire will stop anything, for a while. My driver ran our M151 into a single strand of non-razor wire rusty old WWII concertina at the NTC in 1982. At night. My Leatherman and the pliers out of the BII. And 3 hours. With a red lens flashlight.

The episode is called 'Black Gold' for those who want to look it up. I'm sure you can watch it for free somewhere. The team assists park rangers in the Congo in their fight to stop the depletion of a national forest, which is being stripped for charcoal manufacturing. The team is made up of a former U.S. Special Forces, British SAS and a couple of other people. They use the concertina wire to block off a road. After watching the episode, I've wanted to pick some up. I'll keep reading this thread for others who have used it. If I could get it locally I definitely would. Then again, I have a lot of other preps covered. |

I've got an area of the farm that would be a perfect location for someone to shoot at the cabin, and I have conveniently an provided armored fighting position (I call them a box blade and a JD 450 bull dozer). If things truely went to hell, the box blade gets moved, and I put coils of barbed tape back there. I don't have much, but that area becomes a no mans land.
If I were to have some warning, I'd get geese as well, |

If you can't find a source of this fancy concertina wire...
Using cheap barbed wire and making a tangle across/around stuff you want to slow access too isn't half bad.

There is a night and day differnce between concertina wire and tangled up barbed wire. Like the difference between a rusty Taurus revolver and a Barrett .50 |

Cool, I'll do a search. The series above only ran for one season/8 episodes but it was very interesting for those of us who have not been in the military. Setting up a checkpoint/inspection point is bread and butter for you guys but there were a lot of lessons for the rest of us. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
