Back in the 80's we were issued black rubber cold weather shoes. Fugly looking things. We had to carry them in our alert bags. I was told not to wear them because it would make my feet sweat and result in a cold weather injury. Not that the army would every buy and issue hundreds of thousands of shoe that were useless. It did look good with the olive green wool shirts we also did not wear.

I wonder if the *forgive my inqueries* cod-piece is still military issue in a developed army/military? excluding for/in re-enacters/re-enactments?
SLR and the succsessor SCAR, seem very nice to what info I have, like the AR15/7.62, a proper gun calibre for range and/or effect.
I remeber one of my ex girlfirends fathers talking about how in the early 80's was with a unit testing Amalites/M-16's, anywho, they shot some sheep at 100-ish yards, some of which, didn't even notie they'd been shot through the stomach... (going by memory of his recollection with my stepdad in 1992, whom is ex-Danish Airforce 'Regiment' serving in late 40's to mid 50's)
