Yeah, that's probably it. The 1986 Beach Head's gear was hard enough to decipher for me as a kid even without the lumpy vest (it was only years later, with my discovery of YoJoe.com, that I found out that the "umbrella" on his original backpack was supposed to be part of a scaled-down mine-clearing charge).

That's what I thought it was, too. But the equipment page on YoJoe.com lists it as "back-pack with mine-clearing line charge" and the "umbrella," I think, is supposed to represent the rocket portion of the MICLIC (with the rest of the line charge spooled beneath the backpack).

I know they've been testing a variant of the suit in Iraq and Afghanistan, composed of only the helmet, upper body armour and air conditioning unit, to provide protection for HMMWV and FMTV machine gunners. I don't know if it's any cheaper or more practical than just using remote-operated weapons stations though.

So for all those years I had Beachhead zip-lining across a Cobra compound undetected by the guards below on a mine-clearing device? I was living a lie.

This is like when you learn the lyrics to a song aren't what you thought they were for years and it bums you out a little bit.

I was going to go with "my childhood has been raped" originally. ;)
