OPS Multicam Black Combat Clothing and Plate Carrier
MrMcG replied to MrMcG's topic in Accessory Reviews
Cheers dude It's on my to do list to get a proper loadout pic of my gear and guns maybe tonight after I play -
Hey all, I was asked a while ago to do a review on the OPS combat clothing I got from Hueys, this was inspired purely by a copy of airsoft international and my need to always buy things that are slightly different! So without further ado – I bought the following from Huey’s OPS combat shirt multicam Black OPS combat trousers multicam Black OPS plate carrier multicam Black The only downside really is the stock levels that are maintained I was waiting for around a month or so before the above all came into stock luckily the guys had me on the list and let me know the second it came in! This is how the kit looks now after 3 uses at Epsom Tunnels, for those that don’t know it’s a dark dirty and damp environment so good clothing is essential, I previously wore jeans and well it didn’t go to well for me. The trousers and top have the option to add removable protective inserts for the elbows and knees and these come with it this was one of the reasons I went for the brand as my worst pain so far has been dropping onto my knee and landing square on a BB seriously this was far worse than being shot or cracking a bone in my foot I was incapacitated for a good few minutes whilst crawling along the floor in the dark.. Not a manly look. Plus I then had damp jeans for the rest of the bleeding night double whammy. So far the quality of them I think is brilliant, they are very comfy and have endless amounts of pockets and storage space I haven’t felt the damp yet and it does a great job of taking the edge off the bb hits. I do have the habit of jumping on the floor and crawling or bashing into walls and wood, I haven’t noticed any damage marks or tears to the clothing so durability seems to be good as well. The temperature is normally around 1-4 degrees as well but you get warm running around so it’s not noticeable the real test will be when I take this kit outside which will hopefully be soon. Pleasingly it blends really well into the darkness better infact than my all black outfit I used to wear ( yes the jeans ) people said that it appeared as a void and just shot me, with the multicam black on more than one instance I have managed to creep up on people or indeed have them walk past me oblivious cue pistol to arse shot As you can see with the trousers there are plenty of pockets and storage compartments, some of which can easily hold m4 mags, the knee pads are a solid construction and have prevented bb knee syndrome as I know call it so I am eternally grateful for that and no longer scared of the floor. My missus said they make my backside look good to so I guess that’s approval from her… The waist is adjustable too which is grand via some Velcro straps, the only thing I’m not keen on is driving in them while done up as they really can dig in when sitting or playing it doesn’t happen I have only noticed it while in the car although that could just be the silly seats I have. I haven’t owned any clothing like this before but the biggest compliment I can pay is since I bought these I haven’t looked at all for any other clothing. I use a Blackhawk thick belt with it too which fits nicely through the waist band hoops you won’t have any issues getting a belt through this. Overall I am really impressed with the trousers as they do have a hefty price tag in comparison with other brands but from my experience with them I don’t regret paying it. The shirt is a simple no nonsense piece again very comfy and you forget you’re wearing it, the elbow pads have been a nice touch when clattering into walls avoiding a barrage of BB’s. It also does a very good job of dispersing sweat I wear a T shirt underneath and it’s never soaked so kudos to the shirt for that. You have Velcro points on the arm for badges and what not or if you’re like me and have a crazy mate who just buys hello kitty storm troopers and sticks it on without you noticing. Not too much to comment really on the top as it is a shirt but matches the trousers is the same quality and shows no signs of wear or damage cant moan! The plate carrier this is probably my favourite thing, but also my most loathed due to the availability of pouches and accessories for it! It’s a lovely piece of kit I think, very well made and very comfortable I think it looks great too with plenty of space and molle attachments, it seems a sleeker design than some others too but it hasn’t been a hindrance yet. In its current guise it is set up with the following Admin pouch medium with pistol mag Admin pouch large with pistol mag x 2 Dump bag M 4 mag x 2 556 mag x 2 Grenade pouch Water bladder pouch and 3 ltr bladder OPS sling mount ( great little thing ) Sadly the majority of this has come from abroad due to stock levels in the UK but a man has to do what a man has to do! I also have some SMG mag pouches but wont use them until I get my P90 and ill probably build another plate carrier anyhow the one you see now is still work in progress as I haven’t decided what my main weapon will be yet. With all this attached and rigged it doesn’t feel uncomfortable or overbearing you may notice the grenade pouch is black as I can’t find a multicam version of it sadly but hopefully one will appear. Nothing has broken or fallen off in the 3 harsh games I have given it so durability so far is good and for me comfort is great which for me is key. Currently im very pleased with the purchases and the kit shows no signs of wear or damage, it’s also washed up very nice too, what will be interesting is to see how it holds up with prolonged use and outdoor conditions I personally think it will hold up totally fine and I have no intentions of looking for any other form of combat gear. I love the look and the feel of it also that its unique im yet to see anyone with a similar look to me at Epsom. Would I recommend it, Yes I would if you want the black/dark special ops look or something different it ticks those boxes impressively for what is a high initial cost if it continues like this it will be a very worthy investment that will last years to come. Hope this is of use to you all and any questions fire away

Had a game at Epsom this Wednesday just gone For those that haven't been one game mode is called invasion and it sucks when plans go to pot I was playing with a new camera so if anyone wants a laugh like we did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IG5BNhuS84 There is some language so be warned but you get the idea of what the game is like and the environment The idea here is to push out and put the defenders back although the first part is always a killing zone! Be warned I am not a proper editor or you tuber so its basic I just wanted to start capturing the game days

Is your PayPal linked to a credit card? If so contact them they can refund the money and chase PayPal Faulty goods are faulty goods at the end of the day. Be warned though PayPal won't be happy I had an account suspended a few years ago because of it. I was left 200 quid out of pocket PayPal refused to help so contacted visa refunded within 2 days and visa beat up PayPal.

2 things - Don't let it bother you its only paint at the end of the day As mentioned you have to start somewhere. Off the record if your that worried black tape it or just remove paint... But that makes your defence a lot harder. I had a two tone pistol no one said a thing tbh your young plenty of time to get a RIF and the ones that laugh at you shoot em on the field then you can laugh at them for being shot by a two toner

Hey again Just interested to hear people's thoughts on this - When zero'ing an optic how close do you expect the bb to go to the dot and from how far I tested mine from approx 61ft aiming slightly upwards against a cardboard block approx 5inch by 8 inch so much smaller than a human target the bb hit it but was higher than where I believed I aimed It was good enough to mean I shouldn't miss what I aim at just wondered would people try to get it on point 100%

Sorted found an adaptor online

Thank you -
I can happily do that Ill do a prelim one first as i have only used the kit once but can do another more detailed one after next week when its been used a few times.
-
Easy registered a quick account, put my address in selected paypal and shipping type job done!
-
Haha was my first mag as well. I had to be put on the waiting list for the bits circa a month i think there is a few places in HK that do it as well, its where i ordered my pouches from i think it was called ur-tactical ..
-
Yeah I agree I did think it would be darker too, it seems to work very well at the epsom tunnels though I used to wear black and it was surprisingly easy to spot as you were a void the lighter colours seem to blend better in the lower light parts. I bought it from hueys, was inspired by the cover of airsoft international

So here is my loadout as it stands currently So the kit is Viper FAST ballistic style helmet Guarder 2014 protection glasses Viper Face guard OPS multicam black shirt OPS multicam black trousers OPS light multicam black plate carrier KSJ Sig 226 with 2 mags and Nuprol nx300 light ( run on nuprol green or red gas ) Amoeba M4 tactical pistol with surefire m92v light and Acog Red dot This is just the start and will be enhanced and upgraded as soon as
-
Exactly the same Bought a cheap tactical vest ( viper i think ) Now have an OPS molle plate carrier, just bought the pouches and stuff now so soon it will be fully up and running will keep the tac vest as a spare of if a mate comes along

ooops

As a new starter myself I can safely say don't rush into buying any guns just yet - Go to a game day and get a feel for everything see what people are using look at them ( people love showing off their guns ) use a rental and get to grips with the whole scene and gameplay. All i have bought so far is clothing and accessories in the form of - Torches, helmet, face guard and eye protection. I did buy a sidearm but learnt quickly that it was a wrong purchase due to the conditions i play in ( CQB underground and cold ) the pistol is full metal so doesnt really cut it gasses out etc.. Everyone on the site has ABS pistols and they work a charm. Resist buying guns as without the ukara it will be bright Take your time enjoy it and you will then have an idea of what you want to use
-
I actually use a drift ghost s and really pleased with it so far it's circa 250 waterproof out of box has an LCD screen and wrist remote etc You can also get a picanti (sp) attachment for it Just an idea
-
It's this one http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=8610 If you look at pic above the rail mount is now a nice scuff from said incident with the wall so it done a job
-
I think it's a viper ballistic one made from ABS I'd have to hunt for it when I'm on a lappy and not a phone as it's rather painful searching on websites via this hahaha Admittedly as you say if you hit your self hard enough to break the helmet your already in deep doo doo.... I know the helmet won't save me so to speak but what it will do is stop those hits on surfaces that would bloody hurt and cause a wound. Case in point was last Wednesday coming down one of the corridors at Epsom I misplaced my footing and lurched forward I gathered my footing quickly but my head still bounced off a wall helmet took full brunt I felt nothing other than a wally it's those type of things I wear a helmet for I'd rather a scuff on the helmet which there is rather than my head

That MP7 is fantastic!!! Me wanty
