All that kit and a 10 bob pair of Chinese scissors wedged behind a mag. We used to use those scissors diving, much better than a knife for cutting yourself away from fishing kit.

Pink things are probably IR chemlights.
Agree the mags are probably 7.62x51, everyone is so used to seeing 5.56 that 7.62 seems massive!

Just going a bit left field...... the pink things could be the expensive sort of plasticufs, depending on his 'task' I guess. But as far as I know the silly non 'tac' colour s are usually training ones?
