Photos from the field

This thread is over three months old. Please be sure that your post is appropriate as it will revive this otherwise old (and possibly forgotten) topic.

Recommended Posts

Welcome to the new photo thread, dedicated to photos of us at game days.

Perhaps you've already posted your loadout in the relevant topic, but recently got an amazing photo of it from a day out airsofting - instead of posting what'll effectively be a repost of your gear, put it here. Share and enjoy. Hell, if you want to play with photoshop, feel free (but remember, PG-13)

Hell, even safe-zone photos are welcome.

 

Some of the guidelines -

 

Already posted photos of your kit in the relevant topics - but suddenly got an awesome photo from a recent game? Throw them down here

Got photos of you in a game - but using/wearing someone else's kit? Put 'em here.

Pictures proving the existance of life on Mars? Not here, try NASA.

Photographs of your team (either in-game or at the safe zone)? More than welcome here.

Photoshopped yourself into the front-cover of BF3's box-art? Fair enough, let's have a look.

 

Allow me to start - Dave's little brother got these two photos of me at the last two games I had.

And then there's this. I love the photo - but I'm using The_Leprechaun's vest and M4.

So what are you waiting for?

Get your war face on!

@Skirmish, Saturday 23rd June. I wasn't aware of being photographed as I was intent on guarding the entrance to the fort that I'm facing.

 

The reason I appear to be braced for keeping a real AK on target in full auto is because I was suffering from back ache already and this was the first scenario of the day for me! Stretching my stride lowered me behind the cover without bending my back. By the end of the day I was really suffering and today has been a mixture of hot baths, sleep and pain meds haze...

 

Still, I think I couldn't have looked much cooler if I had tried!

Some great looking photos guys, keep 'em coming!

Aye, posed photos never look quite 'right', always look a little bit odd.

 

For what it's worth, all my med-student pals have told me in the past that going for walks is a great way to solve back pain. Hope your back gets better mate.

X-Rays for me this week and if they're not conclusive I'm getting transferred to a specialist back pain team, so I'm the most hopeful I've been for a while. Yeah, you're right about posing, it makes you look like a poseur :lol: In one of the scenarios towards the end of the day, partly due to increasing pain, I volunteered to be "El Presidente". Here I am marshalling my troops:

Red 1 Skirmish in Watford, set in a derelict old school:

With the exception of the ESS/Sansei combo and the trousers it was the first time I'd skirmished any of the kit and the guns, fortunately it all worked though.

Nice looking set up you've got there CK :)

 

This may seem like a stupid question, but how is your lower-face mask held in place? Is it just wedged under your goggles really tight? Unless I'm being really blind, I can't see what's holding it there.

It's quite an old school face-pro setup actually, not a lot of people who've ever done it. You take some ESS goggles (may work with other brands) and remove some of the foam around the edges, then if you look directly above the magpul sticker you'll see a small black square just below the centre of my right eye, that's a zip tie. One on each side, goes through the plastic mesh material that was previously covered in foam and then through another corresponding hole in the lower face mask section. I'd usually wear with with a baseball cap, not doing so that day taught me a lesson because (of course) I took a close range hit to the forehead.

 

It's certainly not the best in terms of fogging but it's not too bad, it's extremely high on the safety factor which is the main thing, plus I like the aesthetic more than a full set of mesh goggles/mask.

I've got a couple good ones from back in the day, when EBZ actually had sites to work with!

 

Door breaching at EBZ Bexley B)

I'm sure I've got some of my more serious days around here... honest! ;)

Liking the last photo. I've done that with a door before. Moving down a corridor, the door was almost as wide as the corridor. Got all the way until about 2 metres away from where the enemies were, which is when a marshal told us to drop the door. So we all got lit up instantly :(

 

I've always had the idea of getting a large weapon (like a G36 with the longer front end, and the G36C rails on top), and then making a kind-of shield-like thing for the front (similar to on Army of Two), then using that. Although I doubt it'd be allowed.

I've seen people do that. Fine as long as the other team has a similar advantage, at least at my sites!

Agnes, my Ares L1A1 SLR, has broken out of the world of airsoft to tread the boards... here she is in rehearsal:

She will, Ed. Yeah, Craig, I was tempted to load the midcap too, just for a laugh...

 

But then I thought of the consequences. It's a bit of a drag being a responsible adult at times, eh?

 

Julie is the director, in the pics. The cast were pretty nervous about handling Agnes even without a battery in, so I had to reassure them it was completely safe...

I think I might've just accidentally deleted someone's post... My mouse had a bit of an incident and next thing I know - "Post deleted"

 

I apologise in the most sincerest of ways to whoever it was. I've told Dev, so if there's a way to get it back I'm sure it'll be fixed as soon as he reads my message.
