SGT. EVERSMANN BY DAM

The book Black hawk down was written by Mark Bowden and was made to a motion picture in 2001.
The film was produced and directed by Ridley Scott. It tells the story of The Battle in Mogadishu. The main focus of the film are the men of the Delta force and rangers who was task to capture the warlord's lieutenants. It was supposed to be a quick snatch and grab mission that went bad and resulted in several casualties.

During this bloody event two black hawk choppers were shot down. In response two delta force sniper volunteered to secure a downed chopper. Their heroic attempt to provide support and perimeter defense for a downed Black hawk helicopter made them heroes and  was awarded the medal of honor but sadly it was given posthumously.

Dam is a new name in the 1/6th military world, but seeing this figure and its detail, i think this company has a lot of potential. This is the first figure they released. Staff Sargent Eversmann he was a Ranger and also leader of chalk 4.

In the last part of the moving he used the strobe to mark enemy position.

US ARMY RANGER GUNNER BY CRAZY DUMMY

The US Army Ranger is an elite light infantry unit. They are part of the US army special operations command. Ranger's trace their lineage from way before the second world war. To be a member of the elite army rangers a soldier must not only qualify for ranger school but is required to complete ranger schooling. Upon finishing the course a soldier becomes a ranger and receives his ranger tab.

Crazy Dummy first released a Navy Seal gunner before this Army Ranger. At the time i taught that every sixth scale figure company was making SEAL's so i opted to wait for other military units to be released. Then came Crazy dummy with a Ranger figure. Yes, other companies have released rangers before but not as numerous as the SEAL's and so another ranger figure is a welcome addition. So here he is Crazy Dummy Ranger Gunner in Afghanistan.



The figure came with a padded under shirt to bulk up mostly the upper part of the body.
I guess you need extra muscles to carry a bigger weapon.
( a muscle body would be better of course)



Ranger in Multicam uniform



This guy came with a left drop down holster for his M9 pistol with retention cord.
Left handed equipment are harder to find, so good job to Crazy dummy for giving us one.



Tan dump pouch.



Figure with RLCS vest



Fully kitted vest includes two grenade pouch, shotgun ammo pouch, radio pouch, two SAW 100 round pouch, two SAW 200 round pouch assault pack with hydration system, first aid pouch.
He also came with a triple m4 mag pouch but i didn't include it as he does not use a M4.



A closer look at his vest and pouches.
He also carried a tourniquet and some light sticks



Back side mostly covered by his assault pack and medic pouch or butt pack.



Nicely detailed FSN95 boots



His MICH 2000 helmet with tons of goodies attached to it.
He had a PVS15 NVG, E49P LED light and helmet LED light.



At the back of the MICH 2000 helmet is a battery pack for his NVG.
He also had a Strobe light on top of his helmet.



Closer view of the battery pack and the tan helmet LED light.
Only down side is that Crazy Dummy did not add the rough part of the velcro
to attache the battery and strobe, luck me I have spares.



Nice detail on his Ranger Regiment tab



Recon Ghost patch and Ranger tab.
He also came with a foretrex GPS.



Close up of M9 with lanyard.
