      I did look a a way to do plaster but seems quite difficult.. I assume if you filled the sand to he very top it wouldn't move about..

      It'd probably leak out one way or another, could get punctured if you like on something sharp

      that something sharp would have to go through my MBSS, then PACA and then plastic while making a big enough hole to let sand leak.. not really a concern :D

  3. WAS are very good My recommendations would be WAS, Pantac and Flyye
  4. Yes realism. Realism is the central premise of airsoft. Realism does not mean milsim or having picture perfect guns or loadouts but it means having things which are largely based of real world counter parts. It is this aspect that makes a lot of people start airsoft over things like paintball. And I know airsoft guns don't shoot as far as real guns but they couldn't without being lethal at closer ranges but its the closest thing there is to the real world which people can do safely for enjoyment. While I see you second point firstly it would be stupidly unworkable but also real world rifle would not necessarily fit those measurements which again would negate the point of having RIFs in the first place. Also for something like a DMR its not just length or fire rate but you also have to take into account magazine sizes and things like SR25s have larger magazines which mean usually one would not be able to carry as much as an SMG which again is an exchange for higher range and accuracy. Also here are lighter weight LMGs which have other disadvantages. For instance my M249 weighs a lot, but it is quite short. A MG36 on the other hand does not weigh as much but it significantly longer. It is this advantages vs disadvantages which makes airsoft so enjoyable and they do have to be controlled like FPS limits to keep the advantages there. As I've said before if all those went we would just be left with a really boring set of basic guns which people modified in LMGs or DMRs and snipers and things like HK417s or M60s probably wouldn't get made. And that is not an LMG. As I'm sure you know that's a CBJ-MS PDW which does have a (albeit completely pointless) LSW version. Thats a light support weapon, not light machine gun. There is a key difference. For instance a L86 I would not give a drum mag because its not an LSW and the real ones don't use them. You also have to take into account things like barrel weight. While a AK74 and RPK may be very similar, just one slightly longer. In real life you couldn't just slap a drum mag on a AK74 and get it to function in the same way as the barrel in the RPK would e heavier and better designe to take a higher rate and volume of fire. So neither the CBJ-MS or the AKM would be classed as a LMG I know this all rests on the idea of realism, which is a central basis of airsoft so cannot be simply ignored. While people are free to make what they want, don't be surprised if a sight owner said no to something like a MP5 DMR. I know if I ran a sight I personally wouldn't allow it and have heard of sites doing it before.
  5. Because a very large amount of people enjoy airsoft because of the realism associated with it for one. Also the reason a DMR gets a higher FPS is because it has other disadvantages like long length, telescopic sight which means aiming close is harder and slower rate of fire. Like wise snipers get an even higher FPS because their rate of fire is even slower being bolt action. Similarly LMGs, at ammo limited games, are allowed bigger limits and magazines to counter the massive weight of them. This helps to diversify games giving different classes of weapons different advantages and disadvantages. If you made pistol or SMG DMRs it would completely negate the above paragraph. Similarly is everyone slapped box mags on M4s and MP5, LMGs would be less useful. What this would then accumulate into would be an airsoft world where there was very little variety in whats guns were used and it would all be assault rifles, SMGs and pistols which would make the game so much more boring. I personally would completely support a sites ban on non real world DMRs, Snipers or LMGs being used as such.
  6. Here's my rig for my SEAL/MARSOC loadout. Pantac MBSS with a Flyye PACA Just need to change the M4 pouches for a LMG one and wait for the MBSS back pack to arrive and then its pretty much done
  7. Site wise the country and force categorization is a good idea but in a lot of cases stuff is in more than one it should be in or just in the wrong section. On a side note.. Do you know if you'll be getting any genuine UCP trousers in at all?
  8. Here's the list from San Diego: MARPAT Trousers MARPAT Boonie MARPAT Balaclava USMC T-shirt 114lt Desert MARPAT holdall Tactical Cap and USMC Sweatpants
