I used a Valmet M62\/S (the semiauto version of the Finnish Rk62 military rifle) and a Lahti L-35 (Finland&#8217;s domestic military pistol). To go along with this, I had a set of Finnish M91 camouflage generously gifted to me by one of the Finnish Brutality 2022 competitors, and a set of Finnish M62 web gear. I dropped one of the magazine pouches and replaced with with a Swedish M40 Lahti holster, which worked surprisingly well. <\/p>\n<p>The uniform didn&#8217;t really fit right and the web gear was pretty heavy and mediocre, so really the only inaccurate element was that I was wearing really nice modern boots instead of ill-fitting Finnish surplus rubber ones.<\/p>\n<p>Despite some difficulty on some of the shooting challenges (mores on the rifle than the pistol), I was able to complete the entire match without penalties &#8211; the first time I have managed to do that in a Brutality match! I placed 3rd of the 16 people in Iron Sights division and 23rd of 174 competitors total.<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
