The G2 is the latest evolution of the original Gunslinger pack. It is used by elite military, police, and civilians all over the world, i.e. -- snipers, marksmen, and regular folks who appreciate the overwhelming utility and versatility of the product. It's a mid-sized pack with a full-width scabbard. This allows it to better accommodate weapons with larger cross-sections or bulky optics. The wide scabbard also allows it to serve as a laptop or military radio compartment. Additionally, since it's also wide at the bottom, users have the option of carrying weapons butt-down or butt-up. It contains both front loading and top loading features.
The G2 comes standard with an Intex-II frame system. The Intex-II is an Eberlestock innovation; it out-performs both traditional external frames and internal frames. It has the best qualities of both: the structure of an external frame without the noise and with minimal weight, and the close-ride and comfort of an internal frame pack. The Intex-II adds a new level of support and stability to the Gunslinger II, making it a compact and tough heavy-load capable pack.
Moreover, the G2 makes a great platform "go bag." Even though it is relatively compact, it is capable of internally storing a sniper rifle or an M-16/M-4/AR type weapon, water, ammo, and survival gear. Once in the field, the pack has good capacity, but has the added benefit of being really easy to lash additional gear to, simply by cranking on an external load with its built-in compression straps. The top pocket assembly features a handy internal organizer, with several small pockets, pen holders, and a padded pocket which serves equally well for AR mags or for a PDA.
