Not having much luck on the whole Ebay link front tonight Ian, that one says the page has moved or is no longer found

That link just keeps taking me to the top of this page Ian?

"My Cromwell stalled outside that Irish pub and wont move!"

In 'Nam it wasn't uncommon for combat hardened, tired soldiers to throw frag's at their green, unexperienced officers when they gave a foolish order or one that endangered their own lives. Officer's dead? Return to base camp and wait for his replacement, blame it on the VC.

Reminds me of that dog thing the Aliens in Battle LA had lol

I was referring to the fact, more often than not, you're usually right Ian, and you'll always back up your arguement with a tonne of proof/evidence/reason which most people find it hard to contend with, i.e tearing them a new one... I've had too much coffee and been awake for too long to make perfect sense lol. It was meant as a jestful compliment

I've just read they were in limited issue with Canadian and British Paras (incase you ever fancy one Russe), but yeah the point still remains. It wouldn't be beyond the realms of reason that a soldier could get his hands on a shotgun and use it also.

Its good to see someone wearing ALICE webbing at the correct height UTJ, two lads at my local have theirs hanging down under their arse and the belt undone, don't know how they manage to run in it lol

Whats the idea behind the charging handle mate? Is it to make it one hand dominant or just an extended handle so it's easier to grip? looks good though.

Yeah, go with the denim Russ, just wear a underlayer when its raining and then you'll A ) not have to feel wet denim B ) stay warm and dry

My ALICE set up in its current configuration, will be adding 2x Ammo pouches, another compass pouch and a medical kit.

Youtube video of it : Tutorial en Francais : http://droopaille.forumgratuit.org/t51-m72a2-lance-roquette Looks a pain in the arse without access to a machine shop, hell, even with one its going to be alot of work to do all that!

Its a shame you're using a real one as I have a plan for a trap door in the middle which opens, you pop the moscart, grenade, whatever you fancy into a chamber which opens, and then you press a button like on the real thing, activating either a spring loaded firing pin or an eletric actuator (havent finalised the design) to set of the grenade. I saw a French guy who made an inner barrel for his one, and crafted a small aluminium arm which applied pleasure to the grenade's firing button when he pressed the corresponding button on the M72. I had a link to his tutorial but it was all in french and Google translate couldn't tackle the website or anything of the stuff he was talking about if I copied and pasted it in.

Been after one of those for ages couldnt find any in the uk for less than 300, I'm going to make my own, just getting the second pipe so I can start. Pocket nerfs fit I've heard and are about 4 quid each.

Youtube "UCAP Sandpit Amphibious assault" , they sometimes run milsims and have had an amphibious insertion before ( the site has a lake in it ) which was pretty cool. I've seen sites that offer air, mortar or arty support via radio, the idea being you radio command, then this is passed onto marshal I am presuming, who then either pop smoke, or wait for targets to be designated via smoke before setting off pyrotechnics and declaring everyone within a certain radius or not behind certain cover dead, dependent on the support used or if they decide something was a direct hit on a bunker.

Just a heads up about the airsoft show, I bought my ticket before I knew better so will see you there on the sunday, but I hear its full of idiots such as JustBBguns who are trying to impress the neighbouring shooting show, who are all in tweed and flatcaps, so take anything you hear from the stallholders with a pinch of salt.

Yeah I was thinking about the MOD restrictions putting a hold on that. I think one key thing will be getting cover and firing positions set up well, my local site is absoulutely shocking as far as thats concerned, everything thats meant to be defended has no firing points that are of any use and it just makes play frustrating, basically if you go inside a building you will end up dead because you cant react to contacts lol. You'll have to find a balance between cover/firing postions being useful and realistic but also (as unlogical as it would be in combat) balanced which is the hardest part. Theres a fine line between them being useful to the occupier, and impossible for the attacker to take .

Tier 1 (I believe) who are a well established mil-sim company pay collectors to drive their vehicles around for the weekend I think. Don't quote me on it though, it may have been another company. I think you could do with looking up the Berget events, something like that in the UK would have people travelling from all over! I also think a good realism feature would be securing rights for players to dig foxholes, build up their own little emplacements within reason, and have them filled in after the event. There is a site in wales somewhere which allows this IIRC, would allow you to allocate field engineers into the teams, perhaps even have a few .50 cal's made up and allocated per team but this would be expensive. Would you be able to get your hands on Comms? Tier one signs out raidos to sections I think, giving each section a radio man which helps with the immersion.

I do the same with my ALICE gear RE the paracord UTJ, it's actually was Special forces used to do also to save on weight by removing all metal clips and replacing them with paracord equivalents, also helped with noise lol.

Almost had an excuse to start a Brit kit then but they don't have my size in stock, wallet is relieved!

40ml Tin Dark Oak Gloss Varnish - £3.09 posted Buggers duped you there Ian, they sell the same one in my local pound shop I picked up a tin the other day for a project I'm working on!

Very nice Russe! By the time you get the proper netting and some Hessian on there, no one will be able to tell!
