Vintage Grenade Carrying Vest OD Nylon Duck NSN 8415 00 146 Small

Description

This was bought to be used in the production of Bad Boys 4 Life. I don't know if it was ever used on screen. If so, it would probably have been worn by a background actor or stunt person. It was purchased from a store that sells excess inventory from L.A. TV shows and Films.
