I keep forgetting they used canteen pouches to hold more mags.

I always wondered exactly how they carried the M16 magazines before the pouches for them were available.

Anyone else notice the extended magazine on the 1911A1?

I just did when I went and looked. Now im trying to figure out what the three little balls are right underneath it. I would assume frag grenades but they are right beside them.

The little balls are V40 Mini-frag grenades. Is the 1911 mag extended or just not fully inserted?

Just as interesting is the improvised "magpuls" attached to the bottom of the magazines.
