which is what I heard was the main reason the RGT went back to using the M1950.
That's what I was told. Don't get me wrong, I would rather jump with it exposed, especially on a combat jump.

Why not use 2.5" paper tape instead of 100mph? Hell cant remember what it is called but us civies call it maskin tape...LOL Easier to break loose an just as secure on rope jump. Seems like a waste of good 100mph tape..LOL
