    Zvezda got a reaction from Monty in New to the forum, not to airsoft   
    Hello chaps
     
    I live in Essex but was born and raised in Barking and Dagenham.
     
    My main interests are the Russian side of things, the Red side if you will.
     
    My loadouts include; Soviet VDV in Afghanistan, VDV in Chechnya(1999), Modern VDV (Digi-Flora, 6b23, 6b7-1M, 6sh112 etc.) FSB Vympel early 2000s.
    I use these loadouts for reenactment at events like War and Peace, Damyns Farm Aerodrome, Temple at War and Military Odyssey.
     
    I have a collection of De-acs;
    Izhmash AK-74 w/ Plum furniture dated 88
    Izhmash AK-74M
    Romanian RPK
    Chinese Type-56-1
    Hungarian RPD
    Bulgarian PM
    Lee Enfield .303
    2x RPG-22
    1x PG-7
    2x F1 grenades
    2x RGD-5 grenades
    and a sh!t load of inert rounds to go with the mags
     
    As for Airsoft;

    Zvezda reacted to Rock-climby-Dave in Just got a new uniform... LOVE IT!!!   
    - It doesn't look like he's got anywhere to store spare magazines, batteries, water, anything else that someone might want to take onto a airsoft field, and if he's wearing it purely because he likes the style, he might not want to be adding bags or pouches that wouldn't fit the uniform (emphasis on 'might', obviously I don't know his preference)
    To be fair though, most hires don't either. I don't carry much beyond a spare mag or two in a pocket these days.
    Being a dress piece, it's not designed to blend in, so he'll be spotted easier.
    It's basically all black, I wear a black top and camo trousers, but I do regularly see people turning up to woodland in Black kit
    - It's obviously an item of pride to the owner, but running around an airsoft field, through bushes and brambles, kneeling or lying down, potentially slipping over, all risk damaging the clothes and ruining them. Why risk damaging a replica piece? Something designed for combat rather than ceremony is going to be harder-wearing, and isn't going to look so ruined if exposed to harsh treatment.
    >Not using an item designed to get used in fear of it getting used.
    Do you not take pride in your gear? Your rifle? Do you take so much pride in your gear that you actually own several plate carriers and ARs, but run around in pyjamas knife killing everyone incase the AR/Plate carrier become mucky?
     
    Can't say I'd wear it skirmishing -based on the perceived beliefs of the wearer- but god damn, I'll defend his right to wear it if he wants. As did all those who died on both sides.
    This, to me, comes down to a very simple rule:
    He has the right to free speech (which I think we can agree this is) and you DO NOT have the right to not be offended.
