Gunny

The same prop was used by Sean Bean in Bravo Two Zero.

Maybe my description wasn't so clear. My initial thought was to take the webbing out while out hiking in somewhere like the Peak District or a similar location, not a walk down the high street. I didn't ask if it was a good idea. I asked if it was legal. I don't mind upsetting anyone, but I do mind about breaking the law.

I'm not going to chance it. I'm a law abiding citizen and don't fancy getting arrested. I also would not want to add any negative feelings towards the airsoft community. I know from experience how the public can be. I was once arrested at gunpoint when a member of the public called the police while I was out shooting rabbits with my air rifle. I was on private land with permission when the police helicopter hovered above me, then several armed police units arrived and a swarm of MP5's came at me. I was released without charge but it took almost a year to get my rifle back. The worst part is whoever called the police was trespassing as there was no public access!

Firstly, I don't go out on my own and we all wear camo or military gear. And secondly, I often see others out hiking in military gear. Peoples thoughts and opinions are irrelevant. It's the law that matters. It's obviously not a great idea to go out in public loaded up and that's what I thought. I just wanted you guys to clarify whether it was legal or not. Thanks for all your replies 👍

Thanks for all your replies 👍 You pretty much echo my thoughts on it. I just wanted to know if it was legal or not. I sometimes get odd looks when I'm out hiking in full camo gear, but I don't care what anyone thinks. I love using military kit when I'm out hiking for the day or an overnight camp. I thought it might be a good idea to go out and test my scratch-built webbing while I'm out for the day. If I do it, I think it's probably better to do it in the dark where it's less likely that anyone will see me. Thanks again 👍

Hi, I've been working on making own webbing from scratch similar to my kit in the photo, and I want to load it up and go for a hike to see how it fares. My question is: Can I load it up with empty mags and 40mm shells with no gas so they are totally inert and take it out for a hike? I don't intend to take anything out of their pouches, but having them in there would really help to get a feel for how everything feels holding their intended contents. There would be no weapons of any kind contained in the kit. I want to know if this would be legal to do in the UK. Thanks in advance!

I'm shy In all honesty, I'm just getting back into it.
