What's with this reloading nonsense? It has a bayonet for a reason! For the glory of the Soviet Union!

I'm not into impression stuff, however BHD definitely did influence my choice of RIFs because there are some really cool scenes. Why do you think I run not one, but two m14s as well as not one, but two 1911s? One of the least practical AEGs (because the m14 is so damn front-heavy and working on the gearbox is torture) and one of the least practical GBB pistols (because the 1911 magazines are so tiny and therefore can't take that much gas). Not all at the same time, of course (Honestly, its a combination of that BHD scene plus the all ghillied up mission in CoD4 where you use a suppressed m21) I will echo what has already been said here. I've seen a lot of gear-gatekeeping. People making these arguments about "no, you're loadout is wrong because that rig is actually from 2 years earlier" are often really annoying to me, because I see airsoft as a great hobby because we can all play it our own way. I dress up like a bush and sneak around with a silent HPA rifle and silent mk23 sidearm, making silent shots and not really affecting the game in massively direct ways; it's hide and seek with BB guns to me. Others grab their AEG and go super high speed, gunfighting over objectives and clearing buildings. Others set up their support gun and hose entire areas with thousands of BBs. We all have our own ways of playing, which extends to our choice of dress up. I'm also a fan of real-steel shooting gear, but I'll never berate someone for buying cheapo gear because it's what they like. Airsoft loadouts are very personal and nobody can really tell you that you're doing it wrong if that's the way you like to play. One of my m14s is super heavy, as I put a bipod and a rail handguard on it, with people saying "oh you can't do that because it'll make it way too heavy and impractical!" yet those same people will come up to me on a game day when I bring it out and say "wow, that looks really cool! What is it? How did you do it?" What I'll also add to the discussion is that I took a long break from airsoft from around 2010 until around 2018 and was shocked by some of the aspects of loadout building. People used to do impression kits all the time, but when I came back it was like "oh, that could be construed as stolen valor because you've got that patch". I get it, stolen valor is awful, but someone looking to make a relatively authentic SAS impression loadout because they played CoD4 and thought it was cool is not the same as someone putting on the uniforms and bragging about how they were in the regiment when they really weren't. I did an SAS inspired kit about 13 years ago because I played a lot of CoD4 and thought it was cool, but I never pretended to even be in the forces; it was all part of the dress up, like a costume. TL:DR - You do you. Make the loadout you like and you think looks cool. A lot of airsofters (I'd hazard to say the vast majority of airsofters) are lovely people and will likely think what you've done is cool and ask questions about it. Nobody will care if it's not 100% genuine authentic Delta with all the gear being surplus that was actually in Mogadishu and actually worn by that specific soldier. As long as it captures the look, people will notice and probably compliment you on it. Us airsofters love to talk shop about loadouts

Picked up the Kraken nub and it's only really if you want to hop sniper heavy BB's, as tried it with 0.36's. Zero hop applied = needs more hop. One click on the dial, sends them to the sky. I have since switched back to the standard AA nub, which is fine as it easily hops 0.30's with plenty of wheel to go. Definitely want to use this for village games at my local site. Early 340fps with no hop. Drops to a very consistent 316 when set to 0.30g. Besides, I've just picked up one of these while I was exchanging my 19X....😬

The whole cloning/reproducing thing will often wind up being a weirdly firey topic. Even more so when you're jumping between wanting to reproduce a film prop versus a closest approximation of what the real folks used (the two not always being the same based on what's available). It's been a long time since I was particuarly interested in directly cloning something, I tend to shoot for 'inspired bys' where I'm replicating something I like the look of but putting things I like the function, form or look of in the mix. From what I understand that era is a bit of a wild west as to what folks would have been using, you didn't have the 'blocks' as you do now (granted there still seems to be a degree of confrontation as to exactly what does and doesn't make up the blocks so 🤷‍♂️). For my money if you've got a carry handle upper, some sort of carry handle rail mounted Aimpoint-a-like (imagine Comp M2 repro's would be the easiest/cheapest to source), a CAR stock and ideally a sleeve style suppressor you've got 'the look'. It's largely up to you how much research, part sourcing and spending you want to do to get it 'accurate'. Chase your bliss, make your own fun etc etc. Take this next paragraph with a pinch of salt, it's largely based on second hand anecdotal mutterings because impression kits is never something that has interested me in the slightest, but as I understand it historically you come across some of the biggest cnuts around in those circles. Just turns into a weird dick swinging contest where folks would seemingly rather laugh and berate you for getting something wrong rather than help you get it right (if that's something you're inclined to want to do). Just seems like a really gatekept thing rather than coming across as a community that actually wants folks in it, that's my potentially ill-informed take anyway. If impressionist stuff is your thing, more power to you, it's not something I truly understand the motivations behind because it's not something that appeals to me. TLDR - Yum yuckers are the worst, myself included.

No one's ever asked that one before 😏 Get yourself something from TM, all are good, my faves prob the hi-capa 4.3, but anything by TM will do the job superbly.

that's slightly better than the one i came up with, which i didn't post in case it went down like a lead balloon...... i mean at least it's green?

Exactly. If you enjoy putting together a perfect impression then good for you, and I respect anyone for putting in the time and effort. However the moment anyone starts ripping into someone else for their choices then that respect is gone. Fortunately these sort of people are the minority out on the field

You should have seen the old duvet cover I was gonna use for this test run and I won’t mention the off cuts of this one is white and you know what that would look like

a fair point, the distinction i thinking of was between people who absolutely must have the correct loadout for themselves, and the type to "look down" on others for being insufficiently funded/motivated to match their levels of dedication to loadout correctness. granted crye baby/stitch counter is a derogatory term, but i'm not sure what other term would conveniently describe the personalities i'm trying to refer to.

So I’ve been “at it” again today and finally started mocking up my ghillie hood/upper and actually got the first one knocked up as a test fit/size. The hood’s a little tight on top so I’m gonna slap in a panel on to to give me some more head room, I think I’m gonna widen the neck area so I make my head/shoulders more of a triangle than square/circle which the eyes will notice. I think I’m gonna open the chest area so the edges don’t meet and I might bring the hem up to mid-rift but keep a tail on the back…. Comments and suggestions plz (and before anyone asks WHY you making it ?? The answer is WHY NOT ! I get a custom fit and the fact I can )

I’m the same and I think you are right a lot enjoy the finding as much as the having , and unfortunately I also think your right the way the supposed ‘kudos’ of owning something rare and expensive means more to some players that what the item does or even represents ? As to am I concerned about others opinion of me on a gameday ? I ran my pink Bizon half of yesterday while wearing a Deadpool mask skipping around the site shouting “Francis ! Where are you ?” and at one point I managed to sneak up on these two guys who’d been accused by several reliable players of non hit taking , hosed the shit out of them when they ignored a coupe of single shots id put in to them (I was player marshaling so I can get away with it😇) and as they stomped off back to there resporn I shouted out from the bushes “you just got buttfucked by a pink unicorn !” 🦄😈 🤣🤣

You’ve hit the nail on the head , you’ve put the work in and tried to get them as close as you could without going anal over it and NOT just stuck a generic chinese clone red dot on an M4 and screamed “look at my BHD Delta XM177 !” which it’s not in any way shape or form .👍

That's why I have never been into sims. 1 I don't like taking orders. 2 I wear what I want and what's practical.(as long as me handbag matches) 3 I can run around(walk)like a headless chicken and no one cares lol. It's my day,get used to it!🙂 Regards

I’ve done a couple of BHD inspired builds over my time. I’ve added a couple of pictures of the most recent builds I’ve done, WE M-14 and WE XM177. I was really happy with both, but ended up selling them on to do other stuff. One of my biggest regrets was selling the suppressor from the Gary Gordon Car-15, because they’re difficult to come by. Obviously as you can see neither were totally accurate, but good enough for me. I’m in the process of building another Delta Car-15, Blackhawk Down inspired. I’ll see how it ends up.

This is a perfect description of the Red Alliance forum and is what put me off impression load outs, along with all the yes comrade bullshit (usually from folk who were just a twinkle in the milkman's eye when the USSR collapsed)

Haha AAP-01 goes BRRRRRT!

Depends where you live possibly. tried but with out a couple of hpa tapped mags it's impossible north of the border. Even if you could run a GBBR year round I'd still want a back up AEG(you always want a back up to your primary anyway). if you can afford to buy and run a GBBR as a primary you can afford a £90 CYMA MP5K.

Attended a funeral this morning, but when I came back to the office I found this Best thing is, my colleague didn't have to pay anything for collection, so nobody looked at the declared value

Took it back, they agreed it was a lemon and I swapped it for this li'l beauty... 10/10 for how the shop handled it.

Keep it bud Most folk have their radios in a pouch, the clip is just a P.I.T.A 😉

cat's expression says it all.....

I was using a 900 round hi cap mag and had 1, 300 hi cap in my pocket. Just in case... lol

I've found the pts epg variety of grips comfy after coming from the g&g contoured grip on m4 platforms. As a quick fix I found a wrapped of material tape and a glock grip sleeve worked well on my g36 as I found that grip too shallow, front to back.

Hi, ALL! 👋 Had a Great time at this event, can’t wait for Chapter 2? 🤞 Now to chill and will go over all the footage I’ve collected and hopefully have something good? 🤪 💷GAMBLE💷

Not a sale, but posted on faceache by a site (which I'm not going to name). The nearest houses are just over 200ft away so I'd like to know what size pyros they're using

Buy a ton of high end gear and RIFs you don't need on a credit card, if your other half questions it tell her to go make you a sandwich, be a man.

Was bored had a couple of unused MC black pouches and material laying around so knocked an ultra-light mini rig together similar to one i’d seen somewhere(can’t for the life of me remember where it was)in OD .

Well she's all done! Upgrades are: ML 60 Degree Autobot 2021 rubber and Laylax strike hop arm, Vortex Crossfire ii 1-4x, SixG HSB, Surefire repro, G&P QD stubby foregrip, Magpul FDE rail covers, Magpul magpulls and the Magpul CTR stock. That's it, I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

Sh*t

In a day this forum has added pedo anime and the equivalent of pedophilia in RIF form as one giant ad that is the background for every single page..

I don't get it. Bolle tracker IIs are cheaper and stronger than most of the nuprol or unbranded crap out there

Today ,I got this response from TaiwanGun when I asked if they still use UPS as a carrier......... Witam / Hello / Bonjour / Buenos dias Temporarily closure of deliveries to Great Britain Due to the huge problems our shipments have encountered since Brexit, we have decided to temporarily suspend the possibility of orders for customers from Great Britain. We cannot allow a situation in which most of our parcels do not reach their addressees. We respect our British customers just like everyone else, but until the delivery problems are resolved, it will not be possible to order products for delivery to the UK. We are constantly working on solving the problem, when anything changes, we will inform about it on our social media channels. You can find our products at our distributor
