What light would Rambo carry?

[ico]

 

[jamesmtl514]

he would have the Surefire/Strider kit, yet never reach for the light.

The most recent Rambo flick, one the MERC's he was travelling with had an A2-Rd (not sure if it was incan or LED model). I'm guessing, seriously, being a Green Beret, something small like an L1-RD, or something versatile, like a Kroma Mil-Spec. Or an M3!

Thereis a vintage Rambo flashlight - spot light for sale on e bay. Some kind of kids toy from the 80's

I would say the MX-991/U or a 3D Camo Maglite.

 

[Imon]

He'd probably carry a Mag Solitaire. Flashlight of kings.

 

[Changchung]

A 6D maglite... I need it big...

Now I could be wrong. It's been almost thirty years, and I've long forgotten far less trivial things, but I could have sworn he carried a torch in First Blood.

Not an LED. Not an incandescent. A torch. Fire on a stick.

Again, I could be wrong. He wasn't storming the Castle Frankenstein, and Maglite and the Rambo franchise have been around for about the same time. I still have vague memory of a torch.

Yep. It was the scene where he's t rapped in the mines. I remember him tearing off blood-soaked rags from his shirt, pouring fuel over them and wrapping them around his knife. he then lights the torch, and adds extra strips of cloth as he goes along to keep it alight. THAT's what he would use, he did use, and has to be the most Rambo-like flashlight.

He also liked to light the way by shooting bad guys with arrows with blue lightsticks attached to them.

I think he'd get the Fenix TK70. And the Fenix headband.

I use this exact setup for reading at night.

 

[HooNz]

The EyEball of GODZILLA on a sharpened stick with a lit Birthday candle inside it!

It'd be like a Laser :huh:

 

[Cataract]

+1 for Fire-On-A-Stick (or more accurately Fire-On-A-Knife - I won't even write the acronym)

He also might carry flares for when he needs a hands-free solution.

Anything else, he would probably use as a pipe bomb.

 

[marinemaster]

Nope, he is not a flashlight guy...I doubt he would be carring one...he does not mess with batteries, he can see in the dark, or find a way out.

[robostudent5000]

+1 more for bare eyes or FOS if he's in a cave. i don't see John Rambo messing with batteries either.

 

[Grizzlyb]

i don't see John Rambo messing with batteries either.

Coarse not. It's directly powered by his heartbeat.
