Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic

If it’s a real one you got an absolute bargain! 


I really did. Has the Bible verse on the side, moulded trademarks, and the tritium illuminates in the dark... There isn't a fibre optic nor batteries. Guy was ex army and selling as it was old... I assume it is about 20+ years old, not that it looks it. Came with a La Rue mount which I am not convinced is 100% genuine, but am no expert. My brother bought the LAW mounted ACOG off of him a few months later for about the same and made a lovely profit on it.

Wouldn't mind knowing who this "guy" is so I can grab a bargain myself!

 
Is mixing mtp and multicam a big no-no? My PC is genuine multicam, but there isn’t really a lot of options for multicam uniform that isn’t the likes of Crye. You can get a full set of army issued mtp uniform on eBay for £60. Crye multicam trousers are £270 on their own. Is there that much between them pattern wise?

There really isn't much difference at all, I mixed MTP and multicam when I ran that loadout and everything looked seemless

If the enemy is close enough to tell if you're wearing MTP or Multicam then something has gone wrong.

Honestly who cares? If some guy wants to shame me for mixing my camos then I'll kindly tell them to f*ck off.

i couldn't care less if an individual gear snob doesn't like it. I'm thinking more in terms of Milsim and how strict they are with camo patterns.

They'd have to be pretty stuck up to deny you access just because the pattern is slightly different. Goes back to my point about being close enough to tell. I reckon unless you pointed it out nobody would be the wiser.

Where have you been looking?  There's tons inbetween if you want actual multicam for a whole bucket less money than Crye.  I do often tell people to get MTP anyway when I get asked because you can't beat it really in terms of maximum value for the money.  However I know personally I've reviewed and written about lots of options in the middle that are pretty well priced and come in real multicam fabric for those who specifically want that for whatever reason.

Leo kolher's good, tru-spec, sometimes 5.11 and there's a few others. As with a anything if you've not dug in to ebay/forum classifieds/FB groups for other gear you'll miss out.  Cryes get sold for well under half retail all over the place; which is still a lot obviously but again a much better price than retail.  Purely as examples I've got a couple of MC items listed for sale myself right now and they might not be your size but if you look at the prices you'll see what you can get if you just take the time to look around (saying this to anyone reading the thread btw, not just yourself).

Anyone who would care about a mix match of camouflage deserves a punch in the face.

Yep, this. Plus surplus US Army OCP now increasingly available, from Euro sellers too. I prefer it to MC tbh. 

 
I’ve never been to a milsim that differentiates between MTP and Multicam, even the truly hardcore end of the spectrum where uniforms were very specific (Combat Airsoft Group) no one would have raised an eyebrow.  

As always, the ‘rumours’ of how elitist and exclusive milsim is are worse than the reality that it is a really inclusive community of people who just want to get something a little different out of your Airsoft experience.

This is my "competitive" loadout.

It's light, carries what I need, blends in well (too well actually) with our environment (maritime pine forests with lots of bushes), it's not too expensive..

Clothing:

-A-tacs FG BDU (branded SBB but I believe it's from propper or tru-spec, I may be wrong though)

-A-tacs FG boonie (still SBB)

camo neck wrap (calling it A-tacs would be blasphemy)

-Mechanix originals in MC

-Crispi GTX boots

-Helikon Cobra belt

Rig:

-Helikon-Tex TMR in A-tacs iX

Backpack:

-Decathlon Solognac 20L in their camo pattern (resembles kryptec mandrake)

Eyepro:

- Vega Holster ballistic glasses

Comms:

-Midland G7

-Midland bowman

Knife (utility)

- Gerber Bear Grylls Paracord Knife, I swapped the orange paracord it came with with a temporary blue string, will replace it with some proper paracord..

@Skara I thought atacs fg was lighter greens in colour than that from looking at pics on the interwebs. Certainly looks a lot more Arid wildlands than i thought.

I had been thinking about getting some Atacs fg to replace my current tan stuff for woodland games. But not so sure on it now.

Me currently. Yeah i know. In the words of Arnie 'you (me) are one ugly mutherf*!$er'
