[British Squaddie Load Out?]

Thanks for all the replies guys! Some great info and really interesting photos!

 

I am undecided on the MK6 helmet as I have had one before (years ago) and just the weight of them alone puts me off. I'm a skinny little unfit kinda guy, lol! I can see how they are great for real steal but seems a bit much for me for just Airsoft and I am guessing it's hard to tell if you take a hit on it at some points due to it being kevlar. Surprised there isn't a lightweight replica like they do with the US helmets for Airsoft. I dunno, maybe I had a stupidly heavy MK6 or something as a lot of the lads I played with back then laughed at the idea of wearing it all day long due to its weight. I'd prefer a helmet over a bonnie hat though.

 

I'm going for woodland DPM rather than desert.

 

Trying to keep my load out minimal to a certain degree cos like I say (not meaning to sound 'soft' or anything, lol) I just like to keep my load out as lightweight as possible, so if its not being used for something I don't carry it. Just means I can move quicker and easier when needed.

Hi,

 

Working on my Brit Squaddie load out, not that bothered about being 110% OTT about it, just want to achieve something that works best for me and be based around British. Going for the 90s era Squaddie, here is what I have so far...

 

DPM Shirt

DPM Combat Pants

Fingerless Tact Gloves

Black Patrol Boots

Tact Belt with DPM Double Mag Pouch & DPM Utility Pouch

Olive Green Knee Pads

ICS SA80 (L85)

3 Point SA80 Sling

Olive Green Face Scarf

 

Been looking for a 'replica' of a British MK6 Helmet... Not interested in a ex issue of this item as I'd much prefer a way lighter plastic replica, but can't seem to find one. The British Helmets have a very distinct style and look to them. Hard to find in my experience.

 

Overall trying to keep my load out light in weight but enough gear to be useful.
