For my main run through Desert Brutality this year, I decided to have fun with a full historical load out – or at least a mostly-historical load out. I used a Valmet M62/S (the semiauto version of the Rk62 rifle) and a Lahti L-35 (Finland’s domestic military pistol). To go along with this, I had a set of Finnish M91 camouflage generously gifted to me by one of the Finnish Brutality 2022 competitors, and a set of Finnish M62 web gear. I dropped one of the magazine pouches and replaced with with a M40 Lahti holster, which worked surprisingly well.

The uniform didn’t really fit right and the web gear was pretty heavy and mediocre, so really the only inaccurate element was that I was wearing really nice modern boots instead of ill-fitting surplus rubber ones.

Despite some difficulty on some of the challenges (mores on the than the pistol), I was able to complete the entire match without penalties – the first time I have managed to do that in a Brutality match! I placed 3rd of the 16 people in Iron division and 23rd of 174 competitors total.
