So over the past few months i have been trying to come up with an idea for a loadout that isn't just multicam/mtp.
After a lot of thought i got it down to somewhere between a ww2 british airborn soldier, something vietnamish or the current thought of the fairly nice looking get up worn by the cast in 'Tears of the sun'.
I have done a heck of a lot of googling but most threads concern kit available a good 10 years ago and some of it seems incredibly difficult to obtain or ridiculously expensive to import.
So i thought i would turn to you my find band of happy bb slinging folks for assistance in coming up with something similar but also readily available and then maybe chart the progress along the way.
My initial aim is to do 'Waters' kit aka Bruce Willis.
A quick google provides the following kit list courtesy of the Mundo Airsoft blog
Clothing:
-BDU M81 Woodland Raid (Both bottom moved to arms) (should be fairly easy to find)
–Flyer nomex gloves black. (regular ones, no Blackhawk logo on them) (easy enough to find)
-Black shirt. (Any base layer in black should suffice)
–Danner Acadia 8″ Boots (Thinking any decent high ankle military boots as these boys are insanely expensive)
1st Line:
-Blackhawk Riggers Rescue Belt Black (£45 so an alternative wouldn't be a bad call)
–BlackHawk BTS double pistol mag pouch (easily found)
-Blackhawk BTS Double pistol mag with talonflex black (Left on both pictures) (easily found)
–Large lefty Omega holster black oldgen (2 leg straps, ins’t the MK23 one.) (I will probably swap this out for a right handed airsoft grade holster)
2nd Line:
–Alice pistol bet with fastex black (fairly easy find or alternative find)
–Blackhaw H Harness Spec OPs OD (Incredibly difficult to find and expensive Thinking a normal H harness from blackhawk as easier to get)
–Blackhawk non locking carabiner (Left shoulder) (Easy find in both BH or cheaper version)
–2x Usgi Alice triple mag pouch (With 4x M67 Hand grenade) (easy find ebay etc)
–Blachawk Enhaced Buttpack OD (This seems a little harder to find in OD any alternative suggestions)
–Blackhawk Alice Tac Vest Radio Pouch OD (Alice and BTS attached to buttpack side) (EASYish find in alternative brands)
–USGI Alice canteen pouch (Easy find)
Various: (Maybe when everything else is done)
–Motorola Astro Saber radio.
–Tea Lash 1 throat mic (Some scenes)
–Tea Lash 1 with Lash 2 ptt (the one we see almost all movie, old gen Lash2 with Lash 1 ear pice)
–Casio G Shock DW-004VE-1V (Right wrist)
–Emerson Kandahar knife (Left leg)
Blasters: Will probably build off either a tm or kwa base rif
–M4A1
–Car15 stock
–Stock pad
–KAC RAS covers (Lateral and bottom rails)
–KAC vertical grip (Easy find)
–D Bal w/ remote swith on grip (Either a peq box style or functional one)
–Aimpoint w/ Z mount (should be fairly easy to find in airsoft)
-Sling swivel
–GG&G A2 MBUIS rear sight (Not 100% sure on an airsoft version of these)
-Handmade black sling, seat belt syle. (Will be replaced with some sort of black sling)
–TM MK23 w/ KAC silencer
Things i will likely not even try to get as they are either impossible or not really needed for airsoft or illegal for airsoft lol)
-SOG X-42 Recondo. Kydex sheat w/ leg strap
–Emerson Police Utility Knife, kydex sheat. Satin finish no serrations. (Right shoulder)
-PVS 14
–ITT PVS 14 QD Mount
Weapons and comms aside. Some of the bits seems difficult to find. Especially things like the Blackhawk H harness special ops in OD. So i was thinking of using the standard blackhawk h harness as the only major differences i can see are the cross strap supports. Some of the other odds and ends are also impossible to find it seems, but possibly replaced with standard alice pouches or mentioned ideas.
So i was wondering if anyone could suggest good alternatives to some of the difficult to find/super expensive items.
