Ah, I see, very good. Looks the business indeed.

The check shirt's smart. What's the gnu in that pic? The SCAR always looks cool. A bit futuristic IMO.

Well here's my slightly more mundane gnu. Bog standard 2 tone LT933 with 4x RGB sight. Also changed the flimsyish plastic carry handle with a metal one and top 20mm mount. Could've mounted the scope straight to the receiver as there's a RIS rail under the handle but I prefer the old school top mount. Temptations - Halo-style paint job and LT Alpha stock, if it fits.

Back home from work trip away, new sight and speedloader arrived. Soon as the kids were in bed, bunged it onto the 933 😄 happy with the result, however too knackered from work to try it out tonight. Some fun this weekend practicing in the garden to zero it. Added the rubber jibber/bayonet for a bit of old skool effect. Not sure if I'll skirmish with it mounted but will have it on my vest as a SHTF/superCQB backup. I'd imagine it's a typo, 5mW (milliwatt - typical laser e.r.p., 5MW (megawatt) is Sci-Fi weapon territory and would fry whatever it was pointed at...) Sounds about right. Still if be careful. Used to work with lasers in a previous job, as a private pilot I've known plenty of private and professional colleagues who've been Lasered by some fucking twat at night and nearly blinded - a couple of mW is enough - bloody dangerous to your eyes if not careful. I personally feel uncomfortable with others pointing them about the field, and would never fit one to my RIF. Just my opinion...

Well, it's certainly unique... you've got balls 😃 MilSimmers everywhere will recoil in sheer horror 🤣

Very nice! The sight goes well with the overall look of the rifle. I actually like it in the 2-tone, it kind of suits it. I'm in the 2-tone club as well, personally I don't care, mine is green which is one of my favourite colours anyway... Just bought a Goetland sight for my M933 off Amazon yesterday which should be arriving tomorrow. Going for the old-school carry handle-mounted look. Wanting a pistol as a backup too, however AEPs are crazily thin on the ground for some reason. Heart set on something trad-styled and compact... 1911 or M9. Did fancy a DE however they're like cannons... can't be bothered with gas - more maint, propellant, cold issues (I'm in the Highlands), most springers out there seem to be disposable cheapos that break within 5 mins of first use. Plus semi-/full auto useful. All just my newbie opinion of course, we all have our preferences...

Completely agree... I like PB and their prices & service are good, however the Boneyard is baffling... stuff that's busted/bodged/missing parts and yet charged at full price... mental. 190 quid for a fooched two-tone gun... to quote Tim Taylor from Home Improvement... "Aeuuuhhhhhh?!?!?"

Just bought a plain olive tac shirt and a new metal M4 carry handle with top RIS (to replace the flimsy plastic one I currently have) on Amazon. Wife not amused 🤣

I tuck my trews in to my boots. Twists can be a pain to use.

Haha, been 10 years since I left Edinburgh but some things just don't rub off... RainX is fine stuff. Got a bottle in the garage, very handy. The wife thinks I'm nuts taking this up with all the gear etc but I'm dragging her along to a skirmish at some point 😎

Crying out for a Halo-style paint job IMO...

Thanks mate... Want to get a full face helmet eventually but if I spend any more money in this the wife's going to go radge. Was considering boxing mouth guards as an option to avoid broken teeth but not sure if that would do the job. Might get a mask if that's the case. The balaclava is windproof so should take the sting out of shots (hopefully). Antifog spray works well (experience with motorcycling haha!), I have other tops to wear (olive green) in warmer weather. Thanks for the advice chaps, muchos appreciated.

Firstly, forgive my wife's squint photography and the assortment of kids toys etc lying about!!! Here's my first loadout cobbled together on a budget purely out of practicality. The clothing I already had, the gloves and balaclava are what I use riding my motorbike. As a sci-fi fan I'd love a sci-fi loadout inspired by the Colonial Marines from Aliens, Halo, Doomguy etc, this one has sort of ended up a weird mashup of USCM meets 80s British Army... At least it offers protection and camouflage plus it's unique to me. Might get a more futuristic piece like an XR5 or an FN2000 in time. Currently looking for an AEP as a backup (prob 1911 or DE).
