As for the Paraviper, somewhat. I got contact info from a from some of the design team guys after the JoeCon in ATL last year and sent them a lot of information on modern paratroopers and halo jumpers. I didn't send them info on the Navy SEAL version of the Halo jumpers though and that's basically what you have with the paraviper. Funny thing I noticed on the Paraviper is the reserve. The ripcord grip is on his left side. That's wrong. It means his reserve is on upside down! lol. The proper position of a ripcord grip is in the center now(used to be the right side) and the reserve for HALO is actually built into the packtray with the main canopy.

That's cool. I hoped it would be the mother load. Good to see you posting. I hope that means you are happy with the Paraviper and the gear. Originally Hasbro went to the military for info, I'm glad you were there to pass the information along.
