Sorry came across slightly wrong as the above poster alludes. Not all Civvies are 'mongs' just to clarify! I am referring to those people running around all badged up to the nines with various insignia that they haven't' earned.
 
Mack - Sure, most cap badges/insignia/rank that Joe Public are aware of take a lot of training to earn and therefore it irks me greatly that people think they they can just slap it on.
 
Also, technically the Uniforms Act is still in force so wearing uniform you are not entitled to is a criminal offence, but obviously not enforced.
 
SamG - That's precisely the sort of thing I am on about I am afraid. As an ACF instructor fine, wear it then but once you are out, no. You may have been badged PWRR but never completed basic Infantry training or served with the Regt proper, therefore I don't believe you should wear it.
 
But as with anything opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.
Back to the topic and I will shut up.

So here's my first load out completed! I know, no marks for originality, but I like MTP, didn't get to use it while I was serving and it's the same with the M4 platform, so here it is! Kinda inspired by SF type load outs, some of the stuff was pretty pricey, some was cheap, some was free or I already had! Hopefully won't need to spend any (much) more on this, it should keep me going for a while!!
 
For those that are interested the plate carrier is a Warrior Assault System DCS and the helmet is an Emerson FAST PJ advanced type, my rifle is a WE Tech HK 416D GBBR with a few mods and a fair bit o' pimpin'!!
 
All comments and banter gratefully received!

Some pictures in game of my gear, using a rental gun still waiting for UKARA

A few bits I've acquired, I'm new to airsoft so I'm pretty happy so far, got multi cam ubac and trousers,

Do you find the mag pouches restrictive on your SAAV, Nick? I bought one in US Woodland camo before i knew my arse from my elbow and couldn't get it to work with any mags except STANAG so i sold it.

I'm considering buying some modern Russian summer boots -

...they look pretty comfortable and at £56.73 posted the price isn't such a kick in the bollocks!
 
But I'm also wanting to get a Russian pistol I can skirmish anywhere, so probably a WE TT-33 (which will come in at about a oner with a spare mag posted), although I am sooooo tempted by the Gletcher Grach, but it would need valve mods on the CO2 mag/s to bring it down to 1.1-ish Joules and it has no hop, so it really would be £200 almost wasted - sooooooooooo pretty tho

yup flash hider glued on and gun is in 2 halves right down middle
 
One of mine jammed very quickly using them cheap free pack of 50 bb's
so had to open her up coz jam rod was useless - yup learnt hard way....
DON'T use them cheap 50 or 100 bb's you get in with lame ar$e guns
they are even lamer than the gun - a bollock ache to put back n all, screws
all look like they will strip and fit back properly, like a crap disposible lighter
you use it for little while and just chuck it away in the end
 
Luckily brands like G&G & ICS give you a bag of 500 or 1k of proper bb's
but them tiny bags of cheap bumpy jammy bb's go in bin or have use some
possible decent looking ones in my CO2 pistol - 400 to 450fps yeah that bb
is coming out the other end for sure.....
plus you look like a nob with it.....
OnlyBBGuns do it it mainly in black with just a touch of blue but alas gun is
still crap like I said and though it seems good and could be ok perhaps.......
 
NO IT IS CRAP and you wish you saved your money to buy a £100 G&G

Just back. 1900 ish players was Urm interesting. For me and my personal view I would say I experienced much less cheating than last year. But with that number of people on site and playing just getting anywhere involved a huge firefight. Lots of bottle necks on the paths. My team played Saturday most of the day then only about half of us went out Sunday for an hour or two.
 
After Only really playing the pit and milsims this year the number of two tones I saw in evidence spoiled things somewhat for me. Not because the player wasn't as good but sometimes it made things awkward for PID'ing targets. Eg. Delta (white tags) with orange two tone (orange is bravo) patrolling towards you. Can only see the gun as it's in front of the tag leading to blue on blue. Or you are sneaking through the brush and the guy down the line with the two tone gets spotted which gets you all shot.
 
There was lots of good sportsmanship on show. I did a sneaky patrol through the ferns next to heartbreak and got 8 others in the back With single pistol shots. Each one either patted me on the shoulder, shook my hand or congratulated me as the went to re spawn. A guy apologised for putting a full auto burst into me from about 5m away.
 
The social side of it is second to none for the airsoft games I have gone to. But unless they find a way to better coordinate the teams and keep the flow going I probably won't go go to many more. Our team is talking about maybe doing every other year and trying some of the other weekenders out.

haha my mate had one of those until yesterday. it broke on him and he couldn't actually get the flash hider off so chucked it out of his window and the flash hider popped off lol

I think you need new friends before he turns into the next Jack the Ripper.

i remember a kid who unknown to him i remember from having done youth work where he lives and i remember him punching me in the balls... fun kid... anyway he came to our site and proceeded to shout orders at everyone and scream cover me when he came under fire(thats what happens when you give orders, you give your position away....) lets just say i may have left wide gaps for him to be flanked... lol
 
then you get at the like of our last 'milsim'. 3 entrances into the enemy controlled ground. i was one of our sides team captains and we were supposed to be the quick response. anyway the 3 gates got efficiently shut down by the enemy. me and another regular were the only ones left at one of the gates as everyone kept probing to get through the others. eventually the defenders wondered off looking for kills and glory at the other areas leaving a skeleton force, and my team mate went for it. when i noticed he was away i followed. between us we cleared the site and finally managed to take down some objectives. and all down to the player that chose the harder path and was patient and skilled at it. respect for them over those who just go for glory....

Worst Pratt I ever met was a guy who before every game would brief our team as to how to play that game to best effect. He spoke with assumed authority and oddly spoke with a hatred as if the other team were genuinely the enemy using phrases like "I don't want these cnuts to go home thinking they beat us" and stuff like that. Most of us ignored him but a lot of the younger guys would listen. He even refered to them to they're face as CANNON FODDER to allow the better players to be more effective.
Seriously, this guy needs to find a girlfriend or something because airsoft is clearly taking up too much of his little life!!!

In my opinion the best players tend to be the quieter people who've played for a while, they'll have a couple of mates possibly with them and have spent good money on decent kit but generally keep to themselves and aren't the loud obnoxious morons that fill so many sites. I don't like to generalise but in this instance I think it's just about right

There are always the ones who have bucket loads of kit and seem to change guns for every game. We have one at Skirmish. Nice guy and all the kit and advice you could ever wish for but in the game he's always shouting do this and do that, while he is in cover. Being ex-Forces myself, I find that when the game starts I hold back and see whats going on, make my decision and stick with it. If I get hit, I take my hit and learn from what I did wrong. It does make it easier if you seen where you got hit from and the guy is camping. Revenge is sweet. A good thing happened the other month though. We were playing the fort on the attacking team and everyone was bunched up. Seen as it was kill the VIP, both teams were in attack mode, which is always good. We had a quick huddle for QBO's and ended up advancing in extended line, pick your cover if it gets messy and pick and call your targets. It worked upto a certain distance and we broke down into pairs and chose an entry to go into the fort. One foot on the ground and all that, fire and cover.
This was one occasion when people were a little stuck and stayed with the plan. More often than not it goes out the window, but when it works it makes you feel good and gives other people not used to the game an incentive to come back.
That's my take on it anyway.

The good players(and marshals) are definitely the ones that make Airsoft as enjoyable as it is. The second game I played someone lent me his M4 for the day plus a stack of mags. The game after that another player lent me some mags and lent out some other kit to people who had forgotten bits and pieces.
 
As much as I get pissed of by players blatantly not taking hits I definitely think the amount of players that just want to have a laugh and help people out outweigh them massively.

You tend to meet the best sort of players in WW2 games. Last game I went to, our squad was trying to keep the right flank of the other British squad safe and they were taking fire from their left flank (where the Americans should have been). We therefore swung round to outflank the Germans on the right. A head pops out of a bush right by us and asks us very politely if we wouldn't mind not trying to outflank them as the German side had a few people drop out due to illness and gun malfunctions.
a ). He could have taken us all out as we hadn't seen him.
b ). In what other type of airsoft game would such a request be considered
c ). Why can't the Americans stick to the plan?

Those players that stick in my mind are the selfless ones .. those who do little things that make your day that much more enjoyable .. those that will lend you a spare mag, ammo or gas in the middle of a firefight to help you continue .. those who stay behind end of the day to help clean up a site, sweep up bb's, collect rubbish to put things back ... those who help noobs with gun problems or queries .... those who give you a sandwich or sausage roll when you have forgotten your lunch box or food .. these people are the ones who will always be the best players to me, the often unknown people will think of others before themselves in order for others to enjoy their day just a little bit extra.

probably coz people were amazed it could actually get across the car park
lucky kid got a good one I reckon

Bet granny is strapped full of C4 too
