      Just adds to the fun

  2. What's up with all the shotties? I get the price factor (except for TM ones), but seriously, what's all the hype about?
  3. At least you guys aren't constantly browsing Amazon or airsoft retailers looking for stuff to buy *stares at his chrome history*
  4. Wooden plates lol.. Go get some plastic ones if you want rigidity.. I got my pc with plastic plates, swapped them for foam ones, best purchase ever for my pc.. They hold the shape while not digging in your back..
  5. Helikon Tex TMR (Training Mini Rig) Use: Designed for shooting ranges (as the name suggests), it's great for airsoft, carries everything you need and nothing you don't. Key features: Made of 500D Cordura, available in a lot of colours and patterns, all legit, multicam will be multicam, a-tacs will be a-tacs and not a weird mix of colours and shades without a sense. 4x rifle magazine pouches, accept both M4 and AK mags, 2 of which can be removed to allow other inserts to be mounted via Velcro 4x pistol magazine pouches 1x medium sized utilty pouch 1x medium sized utility/medical dangler pouch H Harness straps with a few PALS on them. Build Quality: Being made for real steel stuff, it's quite well made, the stitching is great and you can feel the quality just by touching it. My opinion and overall comments: First impressions when i got it: it felt great by touching it, i loaded the rig with what i usually carry on a skirmish, so 3 mags, bbs, radio, valuables (car keys, phone, cigarettes) and some first aid supplies. Adjusting it is the easiest thing ever. put it on, pull the straps, secure them with tape. done. the waist strap has a G hook, which has a tendency to come loose when not in tension, Helikon solved the problem with a Cordura sleeve that goes around it. the 4 main magazine pouches are a little odd compared to most chest rigs: the 2 internal ones are recessed into the rig, while the external ones are about an inch (a molle row) lower.. i found them to be intuitive and easy to use despite the odd positioning. the reason for the recessed pouches is to make sure the central utility pouch doesn't bulge out when full of stuff. the central mag pouches are connected via Velcro, this allows the user to replace them with other inserts via Velcro, or to remove them completely and have another utility pouch for documents or a wallet. I believe you can get the holster insert and save space on your belt... As you can see from the picture i put 3 magazines and the radio in those pouches. be aware that Midland radios don't fit in the side mag pouches when used with a mic/speaker, so i had to put the radio in the central pouch and the last mag on the far right. this doesn't bother me at all, i can still reach that magazine easily. Oh, and the side mag pouches have a drain hole. the 4 pistol pouches are fixed to the rig, like everything else but the insert and dangler, and they have adjustable/removable flaps. I have fitted mine with a multitool and a torch on the right side and nothing on the left (solely because i don't have anything to put in there yet). The central utility pouch has a few organizer pockets and bands to keep items where they are supposed to, it has a nylon ring to attach keys, a mesh internal zip pocket and an external one as well (they're separate). On the bottom there are three PALS attachment points, so you can secure a CAT there (no, not the one that meows and purrs, the one that saves your life if you severe your arm) or glowsticks or literally whatever. The dangler pouch is a bit weird, it's shaped in order to open like a clamshell, the bottom is narrow while the top is twice the size. internally it has velcro on both sides, so you can attach whatever you want. i personally use it for a small iFAK and bbs. The pouch is removable and unveils a row of MOLLE to which you can attach other pouches according to your needs. The rig can be strapped to a plate carrier with swift clips, although the G hook on the bottom requires you to still use the waist strap (or you can be a man and modify one of the clips to accept G hooks) I picked it up in A-Tacs iX for 2 main reasons: 1) there were none left here in Italy apart from black and Pencott variants 2) my team camo is A-Tacs FG, i'm planning to get a set of A-Tacs AU and the iX variant is supposed to be the Digital Concealement Systems "multicam" I got to use it last sunday, although we haven't played much due to the heavy rain/snow downpour. nonetheless i had the chance to have it on in an active environment, running, sneaking, laying prone and i have to say, it's really great! it doesn't impede movement at all, and my main concern, the dangler pouch, didn't really move at all despite being full of first aid stuff and a bag of around 2000 bbs. magazine extraction is quick, retention is good even without using the elastic bands, although the 2 middle pouches are not as tight as the external ones, so keep that in mind if you're jumping around trying to be a Novritsch wannabe or simply speedsofting, there's a slight chance of those mags coming loose and flying around. Magazine index isn't intuitive and the middle mag pouch can be a bitch to put mags back in in a hurry, i suggest to use some sort of dump pouch. As you can see i used the shoulder PALS to attach my PTT, you can attach torches, knives, zip ties, your grandma there. Overall rating: 9.5/10, the only reason why it's not getting a 10 is that i cannot fit the radio in the right mag pouch. but that's just me being a crybaby.
  6. Kinda reminds me of some STALKER series I'd only swap the hoodie with some kind of russian style warm hat and you're set EDIT: fuq, i thought it was the loadout thread -.- G3 is a gun i've wanted for ages to build a DMR.. how does it perform??
  7. What's a good website to get a mtp lightweight goretex jacket?

     

    (I live in Italy so shipping will be a lot anyway)

      Try www.cadetdirect.com . I bought my uniform for the ATC there and was happy with the quality and service. 

  8. Hooked it on the back of my car with a cinder block on it and went for a ride on a dirt road, then dumped it in the mud several times.. The first time I wore it I couldn't bend lol.. Ditched it after selling my vsr10, I was so tired of sniping that I couldn't even look at a magnified optic without the need to drink bleach xD While it's true that a well made ghillie has a lot of natural material on it, the base tone must be somewhat similar to the environment, otherwise it's like trying to hide a black bear in the arctic..
  9. Pre made ghillies suck imo.. Most of the times your surroundings won't match the ghillie shape/colour making you stand out more than a pink t-rex costume.. I made one, took me ages to find the correct colour tones and arrangement to make it work, but at the end of the day you couldn't see me within 20 feet from you..
  10. I'm surprised, that two tone doesn't even look bad!
  11. Be a man, slap a 4x32 scope on your mk23 and snipe with that
  12. Helikon Tex Training Mini Rig in A-Tacs iX Delivered in less than 24h from the purchase.. I believe it's one of the last ones available here in Italy..
  13. Internet banking is marvelous, it allows you do transfer money and pay for stuff without leaving your pc..

      Sometimes it takes more than 24h from the moment she pays..

      If she pays on Thursday I see the money on Monday or Tuesday..

      Idk what's wrong with her bank, when my mom sends me money even if it's Saturday I have to wait 5 minutes tops..

      Oh wait, you're in Italy. Sorry, FPI is a British thing. I shoulda checked that first!

      Also you might want to look into something like Revolut or Monzo (Monzo might be UK only but Revolut is all of EU) as both allow user-to-user- transfers and support SEPA etc. for cross-country stuff. Neither charge for their basic service either and are excellent for current accounts. Both take about 10 minutes to set up too.

  14. What's up with the "stockless" guns? they look uncomfortable af.. also @Arwen get some irons pls..
  15. What's wrong with "plastic" guns? Both my guns have polymer bodies, and they're sturdier than some metal ones I've seen..
  16. Heh, I'll get a drum mag as well once G&G releases the 5.56 version of the arp-9 one..
  17. Do me a favour and get a better looking optic xD It looks like you've washed it the wrong way and it shrunk.. Mag looks good now
  18. >Couple that mag with a p* >switch to full auto and high-ish rate of fire >laugh maniacally as people get drenched in bbs ... >profit
  19. Today's training:

    4 broken guns;

    2 lost radios;

    Almost killed one guy (slightly touched a rotten tree that fell 30cm away from his head)..

     

    Should've stayed in bed this morning...

  20. Mag looks hideous.. But whatever floats your boat xD May I ask why do you need a high cap on a bolt action?
  21. Bought a pair of Mechanix fast fit.. And got my gun back from service..
  22. That's their correct barrel length anyway
