  1. A classic marmite gun, with a twist. as many of you will now realise, it was I who bought the discounted XM8 (I believe an evil laugh would be kinda appropriate).

    And absolutely hating guns which other people might have, feast your eyes on Tina:

    sorry about picture quality, Iphone with a well used lense.

  2. That cloak is pretty tidy Geoffrey, are you still able to tell you have been hit wearing it?

     

    any rounds do make a very satisfying thud and it is very easy to hear, try holding a towel out in front of you while being shot at and you'll see what I mean.

    The only rounds I missed was when the hood was down and cloak was swept back, so when I was shot in the back I had about 5 layers of 1000D cordura as well as a hydration carrier and my plate carrier, so I'm giving myself that :)

  3. Was disappointed when you revealed a gun not a lightsaber :(

    For a quick release fastener, I would use a bow at the neck. Had you considered starching it so that when you take it off it becomes a decoy? :D

     

    Forget a lightsaber, I want to charge with one of these http://www.thevikingstore.co.uk/larp-dark-moon---chainsword-2563-p.asp :D

     

    One of the first ideas was a bow at the neck, it didn't work that well because the weight of the cloak basically strangled me initially, and when attaching it to the front of the PC it made it ride up on the front too much (again strangling) and made getting to the front pouches nigh on impossible. Attaching it to the D-rings on the shoulders allowed the weight to settle on the centre (with the front part nicely balancing it).

    The end plan is to use one of those TF3 hard armour pieces (dipped in ATACS FG) and a belt set up with the cloak, I was thinking maybe setting some buckles on the armour in strategic places should allow some quick release/attachment.

     

    Funny story in regards to the decoy part, we were playing an assault the village game (very quick fire) so I ditched the cloak halfway to our spawn (took a bit of a wide detour). Got hit out and went to collect my cloak, and I heard some really aggressive shouting, "Take your F****** hits" "Stop being such a C***", walked up to the side of them with my hand up and a marshal was coming to investigate the problem. Cue me (rather sheepishly) walking out to pick up my cloak and hood, with the 2 opfor having all the colour drain from their faces and looking very dumbstruck, and the marshal clutching his sides laughing so hard.

    Might actually add this to the funny story section :)

     

     

    That cloak looks really good but I'd it heavy? What's it made of?

     

    It is rather heavy, but not unuseably heavy, a lot of weight should come off when I make the turn up perfect in regards to my height (so that I don't trip over) and I can cut it off. It's 1000D cordura and extremely strong, to the point that I'd have no problem cutting it and using it as a rope.

  4. something I've been working on

    It's a bit difficult to crawl around if your not already prepared, and it does have a bit of a tendency to snag (fortunately it is very strong, and the branch or whatever it has snagged on is more likely to break than the cloak), it is very good at keeping me hidden and it dissipates the shape to the point that I don't have to really try that hard to prevent a passing observance.

    And most of all, I think it looks cool.

     

    for the future I need to improve the fastenings, something quick release would be nice.

  5. I think I remember something like this from a few years ago, it meant that the junior was on the UKARA register, and did pay for a rifle, but it is in fact owned by either the skirmish site or the retailer, allowing the person to use his gun on a skirmish day, but not taking it home.

    If I remember correctly.

    A custom Mike Cripps IPSC standard SHPD hi-capa 5.1 with Stainless Steel hammer and trigger, AIP holster, 3 5.1 mags with nineball gas routers (brings it up to 340-360 fps), and he threw in the aluminium case for free.

    Absolutely brilliant guy.

     

     

    sorry about the photo's, tried my best, and only 1 looked decent.

    I'm not entirely sure about this - it looks to be some funky pre or post PLCE experimental thingy, but I think my bodging skills are up to fitting tropentarn G36 pouches to it, so with my recent foray into MTP BDU's and my experimental G36KVS, all I need is some brown Altbergs and a tropentarn hat and that's a PMC loadout sorted. Oh yeah, and a tan belt. And knee pads. And gloves. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

    I think it's called a M16 magazine carrier, some American design to allow soldiers to carry more ammunition in easy to get to areas without sacrificing tactical movement such as crawling.

  8. I'm sure you could tw*t Chuck Norris. I know I could.

     

    Eeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

     

    No, not for me. Maybe vegetable suet... or margarine and wax?

     

    What weights did you use?

     

    this is the video I used

  9. What the hell, Geoff? Who let you out of the incinerator?

    Imagine me as the English Chuck Norris, and you won't be far off B) .

     

    What's in it, Geoff? Potassium Nitrate & Sugar?

    yep, plus tallow as the smoking agent, stinks of animal fat but works better than wax.
