    Camo Conundrum

    in Guns, Gear & Loadouts

    Posted

    Hey guys.

     

    I make no point in hiding the fact I hate Multicamo/MTP, It's everywhere like a plague. I do not disrespect people who choose to buy the MC/MTP pattern but I like to be somewhat different and unique with my camo pattern choices.....

     

    As I am hoping to rejoin the sport in the new year I am looking at picking a new camo with which to grace myself across the skirmishing fields of the UK.

     

    The easiest and cheapest choice would obviously be British DPM - but I have had years of that camo and after a little research I have found some patterns that are rarely seen in skirmishing and would like opinions ideas for patterns that I can integrate with suitable plate carriers, headwear etc.

     

    US Marpat Woodland

    French CCE Pattern

    Italian Vegetato

    Russian Flora

    Chinese PLA Woodland Digital.

     

    These are my favorite ones that I have found while researching. Opinions, Ideas and thoughts greatly appreciated.

     

    Isnt that defeating the purpose though, shouldnt you be trying to blend in rather than stand out :P WB by the way

    Where do you see that?

    The price or the shipping? Helmet is something like 30 dollars and shipping is around 20 dollars, converted to GBP works out at £37.33

     

    Plus shooterCB use an express shipping as standard, I've had tons of stuff arrive from them in under a week

    Thanks jcheeseright,

     

    After having a look at the BTC Mosfets, they do look pretty nice and you're right, they would certainly do the job and allow me to keep the original gearbox and evade any fitment issues.

     

    Do you have any reputable sources you would recommend to buy from? After a bit of a search it seems like most places are either out of stock or charging way above the standard.

     

    Cheers,

    Been looking myself, if you measure your waist size, searching for some plate carriers will be so much easier. Since your 5'10" I'm pretty sure that's more or less irrelevant, I may be wrong, but when looking at plate carriers they give you a rough size guide, and it's all about waist size. Of you're from the UK, go to the website called "Military1st.co.uk" they do free delivery and sell great army clothing & equipment. Here's one that may be good for you, http://www.military1st.co.uk/201042-003-condor-sentry-lightweight-plate-carrier-tan.html.

     

    Goodluck! Let me know if you find any!

    Completely wrong, nothing to do with waist size. Its all about plate size.

     

    from elsewhere "PLATE Carriers are designed to carry PLATES and PLATES ONLY. Thus, they are sized based on the SIZE of the PLATE you wanna carry in it. Don't be surprised if they seem "small" on you, because a 10x12 plate is designed to cover a 10x12 area. Anything larger than that is window dressing that allows you to add more sh*t to the vest."

     

    Front plate: Even with top of the sternum while standing and covering the entirety of each nipple. For best fit, the plate should not impinge on the shoulder when presenting a weapon.

     

    Rear plate: Should lie no lower than an inch below your vertebral prominence. A back plate one size larger than a chest plate is optimal.

     

    Side plates: the higher they ride the better

    Well hello again!

     

    Looking to get a riser for the top of my M4A1 and am completely confused by The STANAG Dimension thing!

     

    I've got a standard sized pinicaty rail on top that I've got a red dot on, however it sits too low and there's no way to manually adjust the angle of the site (just the dot in the middle)

     

    The one I'm looking at is this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B001WIUUV8/ref=mp_s_a_1_92?qid=1440440390&sr=8-92π=AC_SX110_SY165&keywords=UTG&dpPl=1&dpID=41dxQv-JSFL&ref=plSrch#

     

    HOWEVER I am completely open to suggestions, as I've never used a riser before

     

    I beleive you have an Aimpoint clone red dot on a low mount, Just swap it out for a higher aimpoint mount for below and it should bring it up to co-witness with your irons.

    RiF loopholes

    in UK Law

    Posted

    We really need a "read first" thread for this recurring question :P

     

    As above. A few points that get given on every other thread in this section:

     

    1 - UKARA us NOT a licence, it has nothing to do with government, police or customs

     

    2 - there is no law or legislation controlling the ownership of an IF/RIF. It is impossible to be charged with an offence for owning or using an IF/RIF unless authorities could prove you were going to use it for violent crime.

     

    3 - there is no law or legislation controlling the purchasing of an IF/RIF

     

    4 - by law, all SELLERS must ensure that the purchasor of an IF if at least 18 years old. If a minor purchases an IF, only the seller has committed a criminal offence

     

    5 - by law, all sellers must ensure that the purchasir of an RIF holds a legitimate DEFENCE, as a way of proving they will use the RIF for sport, recreation, or some other use that doesn't involve violent crime. For us airsofters, that is almost always UKARA. Again, if someone does sell a gun to someone without a defence, the seller has committed an offence and the buyer had not

     

    6 - giving someone an IF or an RIF for free does not legally require a defence

     

    7 - altering an IF to look realistic is covered explicitly in the VCRA, and it is illegal, hovever a legitimate defence (like UKARA) protects the person who did it, putting sniper tape on a rifle is not a permanent change, so that doesn't count, but adhesive tape probably would.

     

    8 - since there are no existing court cases in this legislation, the few grey areas haven't been tested yet. This means that the only person who can tell you if you have/will break the law is a man I'm a curly wig at a courthouse (and maybe 12 of your peers)

     

    Its an offence for a minor to purchase

     

    (1)After section 24 of the 1968 Act insert—

    “24ASupplying imitation firearms to minors

    (1)It is an offence for a person under the age of eighteen to purchase an imitation firearm.

    (2)It is an offence to sell an imitation firearm to a person under the age of eighteen.

    (3)In proceedings for an offence under subsection (2) it is a defence to show that the person charged with the offence—

    http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/38/section/40

    Section 40: Supplying imitation firearms to minors

    1. This section introduces two new offences. It makes it an offence for anyone aged under 18 to purchase an imitation firearm and for anyone to sell an imitation firearm to someone aged under 18.

    Any opinions on ACU Digital camo?

    in Guns, Gear & Loadouts

    Posted

    Personally I used to love it when I used it, Dont see it that often anymore. You could always mix it with DPM/DDPM for a UKSF look. Not the best for a woodland game but for CQB or urban sites spot on, but then again the ranges we play at camo isnt the biggest deal. FYI the camo isnt called ACU, its called UCP (Universal camoflage Pattern). ACU (Army Combat Uniform) is the cut of the clothes. Heres a pic of my US Army UCP 101st Airborne kit for inspiration
