You guys do know that those packs and gear float right? That's swim qual 101 right there. Not sure if you can float with sappi plates in, but flak jackets do float and if you waterproof your pack it can float too. Kevlar helmet too.

The guns would get all clogged if you swam aswell

hehe i remember on Koregnal i was crossing that stupid bridge with planks missing

ended up in the river and trying to find a near flat surface to get out while my squad was waiting on the other side. Thank god i was a specialist(i really couldnt find a way out except a long swim from the bridge) got me hook out(was able to stand), hooked on to a wall, climbed out, was pretty pleased with my self, than like a headless chicken ran to catch up with my squad over that stupid missing few planks bridge lol to ended up in that shitty river again.

it was so stupid that it was epic

Again, I didn't propose that you couldn't stand in any amount of water. You should still be able to ford shallow water (anything below shoulder level) regardless of kit.

Restricted swim time is reasonable.

I seriously doubt Korengal will be redone if swimming is changed, given the few times this has happened in PR history.

And whoever pointed out that more of those objects than you pointed out are buoyant is right. Marines are taught how to turn pretty much all their gear and clothing into something that floats.

Also, whoever said that the guns would clog if you went in the water, suggestion: open the chamber, let the water drain, then fire the weapon. It'll work just fine.

If we're talking limited swim, it should probably be around a minute or more.

Not if you kept the magazine port and muzzle out of the water. If its a stream, hold it over your head.

Yeah but they always seem to be in very deep water when they are swimming so it would be very hard to keep the gun out of the water

Suggestion: read past posts.

Unless it is a M4/M16... you can just shake out the water and fire immediately.

Otherwise the upper receiver blow up. XD

As far as I am concerned, going into water = death.

You cannot be revived, cannot shoot, move slowly...etc.
