    As the years go on my loadout gone much smaller, no more plate carriers and limited number of gas mags.

     

    I still wear a helmet with lower mask as I tend to shot in the head/face lots 🤣

     

    I know I've put on weight this lock-down ... But I seems to be preparing to punish myself by doing 2 consecutive days of Airsoft with an even heavier load out than pre-lock-down/tier 4 ...

     

    Full Osprey, w/ pauldrons, collar ... A weighty GBBR, vest mounted Sig P226R, 6 AR mags, 4 pistol mags, and enough Pyro to attract a CSAR extraction 🤣🤣🤣

    So it turns out you can't trust the shipping costs in Europe any more, guy came back to me and wanted another €40 on top of the €13 p&p already paid... Waiting for a refund on the whole order 😒

    OUCH!!..   that looks fucking painful...

    and lol, fair enough...    did you order the FBG6s or the AFG6s i mentioned?
    also where do you source the mil smokes? i would like to have a few ready for use at RIFT REDCON2.  the open spaces require better smoke coverage than the EG WP40s i can buy at the site shop.

     

    I buy Mil-X direct from Third Light/Enola Gaye UK in Reading they let me open an account with my UKARA, my job takes me to High Wycombe pretty regular so I pop down to pick them up to save postage

    @Shamal This is what happened first time I used a flash 3... Lucky I was wearing gloves at the time... Normally I just use smokes, but I decided to take over the role of teacher on my team. I went to throw the grenade after pulling the pin and found where I wanted to throw it block, so I moved to the next option and *BANG* foot of flame shot down my arm 🤣🤣

    @Spartan09 Their flash grenades are only a couple of quid more expensive than the ones from my local site, and considering I favour EG Mil-X smoke grenades at £25 each, £7 a pop seem reasonable 😅🤣

     

    I placed an order, will review once received! 

    Pistol Mags and Holster Problem....

    I'd be cautious about the Warrior Universal and a Sig - the holster pushes on the mag release and you will lose any mags in the gun while holstered.

     

    I'd go for a Serpa or Safariland style holster, either on a belt or on a medium drop and with a leg strap.

    I've got not experience of that, although if you wrap it too tight it's rack the slide as you put it in 😅

    The guys i play with have all got a boafeng radios, non of them have licenses but program them for pmr use. So I jumped on the bandwagon and its an easy setup to do and help enough.

    Sorry to be the one fella, but that is still illegal, Baofengs not BF-88x transmit at 1 or 5 watts, the legal limit on PMR is 0.5 watts... Although the chances of getting collared are infinitesimal... What you will end up doing is jamming the frequency for anyone else tryingg to use 446MHz because of your higher output

    Personally, I use either a Sig P226R or Glock 17 as a sidearm on a Warrier Assault Systems battle belt set up (left-handed because I'm awkward... And I've never actually used it, but largely play woodland sites as not many decent CQB sites near me

     

    I use the polymer WAS Pistol Fast-Mag holders, only pistol mag holder that I HAVEN'T lost a pistol mag from...

     

    Couple of guys on my team run drop leg holsters, and I can draw faster from a belt that is configured properly (pistol at 10(L)/2(R) o'clock depending on (L) eft or (R)ight handed) and some repetition drilling to get used to the set up

    Look up an app called Zello, it acts as a PTT app over 4G, you create a channel, invite other users, you can pw protect channel

     

    I've dabbled with it, looking at options, but most peopledon't want to have their mobiles on the field as it's too easy to accumulate screen damage

    Aeg Inner Barrel Question

    in Electric Guns

    17 hours ago, Adolf Hamster said:

    i really don't get why they'd design that cut into the barrel?

     

    it's an air leak, and looks like it'd put a pair of nice scratches in the bb on its way out too.

    According to the blurb ... And I' can't vouch for this since when I tried to by one, the length I needed was OoS ... 

     

    The air channel along the bottom of the barrel provides additional and consistent back spin on the BB for the entire length of the barrel, rather than backspin just being applied at the hop-up, they say it provides better range and accuracy

     

    Would be good to know if it indeed acts as expected/sold

    I've got mates who have served, some who are serving and some who served and never came back, and would feel that I was disrespecting them if I wore any 'real' unit insignia

     

    I've lost a couple of close mates who served, more to PTSD than combat, and I absolutely respect the commitment, service, and sacrifice

    Either way it needs to stop before any unit patches as far as skirmishes go.  They make zero functional difference and adding 1% more immurshun to your weekend bb wars in no way takes precedence over the experience of guys who may well have been through some real shit while wearing that stuff.

     

    Fair point fella, appreciate the feedback

    Why not just sew your own patch over the ones it has? BDU you want with your stamp on it and won't insult anyone.

     

    Since I'm looking at replicating a IDF ARW load-out, the flag insignia would be part of that, same as anyone who wears a Union Flag on a British inspired kit or Stars & Stripes on a US inspired kit, it's the extra details, like the dropzone flash, or AWG Regimental insignia that I feel pushes the kit to a borderline Walt situation that I'm interested in discussing

     

    Saying that, the closest I can get to being Irish is marrying my half Irish partner (hold the date: 7th April 2021) and applying for dual citizenship ... Which oddly enough is an entirely separate non-airsoft related plan that I have 😉

    OK, so I'm sure this is going to prove to be a controversial topic ...

     

    So there is a line between 'imitation being the highest form of flattery' and misleading persons unknown into believing that you are or represent something what 'you' are not

     

    But where is the line? 

     

    I am looking at 2 loadouts, one I am currently using based on British Army 16 Air Assault Brigade Pathfinders Group (for woodland sites), and a 2nd I am starting to work on based on Irish Defence Forces Army Ranger Wing Counter Terrorist Unit (for CQB sites)

     

    The IDF BDU I've found have the IDF/Irish flag logos pre-embroidered (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IDF-Irish-DPM-Combat-Shirt-Large-Ref-5/353275988284?hash=item5240e3c93c:g:75wAAOSwz6ZfgxAL) but not the ARW logo (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Irish-Army-Ranger-Wing-Patch-w-Tab-Fianoglach-100-Embroidery/254482563003?hash=item3b4057bfbb:g:cOEAAOSw8vtfSvSS)

     

    My Pathfinder loadout, I have British Army surplus Blanking patches on my UBASC, but no other insignia or rank markings, I would however consider some additions for example the drop zone flash (https://www.army-surplus.co.uk/dz-flash-16-aa-pf-pln), without any other insignia or marks.

     

    However, I recognise that I am not now, nor have ever been in the Army, let alone in an elite regiment, and wouldn't want to cross a line ...

     

    Brutally honest opinions always welcome 😅
