Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic

[MandalShArK]

Nice but I prefer the classic tiger stripe ?

I just want an impression loadout without spending silly money on exact detail.  The shirt, pants, boots and webbing cost me £61 ?

And its not the only loadout I have... More to follow... ?

If you want something a little more Accurate and still at a good price, head over to soldier of fortune, its good kit for airsoft and a little bit more period correct, not 80's commercial Tigers   and, it doesn't break the bank.

Sadly people fall into the COD Black ops trap of SOG using tigers when in reality SOG Rarely used Tigers across the fence, (generally used when they where on Hatchet force/SLAM Company duty or on the range at a FOB)

Issued kit was standard Jungle Greens with labels removed, some teams sprayed black camouflaging lines on them to break up the shape, then later on ERDL Green Dominant camo was used as well .

At the end of the day, wear what you want, I'm just providing an accurate description of kit actually used.. and by all means check out our website if you're interested in learning about SOG, we have some damn good interviews with Veterans.

One with Jim Bolen for example. http://www.modernforces.com/veteran_jim_bolen.htm

Admittedly I've been considering a Vietnam themed load out (due to lack of a decent SLR) but unfortunately I've not been able to track down a decent M16A1.

I've seen a CAR-15 variant which is very short along with a sliding stock (not the usual buffer tube design seen on later rifles) but I've not come across any information on whether it saw action in the wild.

I suppose it's something I'll have to do a lot more research on before sticking my hand in my pocket.

@EDcase and @MandalShArK - both excellent kits. Admittedly I'm a sucker for the original M60.

That's the Colt Model 607, not that many were made and it saw very limited action in Vietnam, it pre-dates the XM177E1 by a year or so.

It's not..

Look at it. It's got an A2 upper for a start.

Cyma makes a decent /passable m16a1 now mukka

@Neptune - It does indeed appear to be a Model 607 I've seen. Admittedly I like the look of it as it's something very different to what I've seen in use elsewhere. Despite it seeing very limited usage (from what I read last night it was more or less a prototype that just saw limited trials) it at least makes it an option.

I had spotted the Cyma although I've not read a lot about it and I've not found it available in the UK. I was going to order it from TG the other week, however, I have reservations due to reported shipping issues.

As a further side note (apologies if this is derailing the thread, please advise if so and will take it to its own thread) I noticed SoF produce a Vietnam era flak jacket. I realise these were a bit patchy in terms of use due to the jungle conditions but this is something I'd definitely be looking to incorporate into any potential kit.

He wasn't referring to your rifle, but a different one, which is the M607.

I wasn't talking about mine either ?

Yeahhhh oldschool MGC plugfire and not mine to paint sadly

I'm not really sure why you quoted me then? The 607 doesn't have an A2 upper. I quoted the post by Freefrag which was talking about the 607.

Think I'm just lost here. ??‍

Just be as historically accurate as you personally want to be and let other people do the same.

Don't be a russian-gear-forum obsessive crazy person, there's already too many of those.  Years ago I gave some kid an actual heart attack by just commenting how I liked useful things like some areas of pic rail on certain parts of an AK.

Building a lightweight belt loadout out of what’s in my gear cupboard in anticipation of being able to get out and snipe some people..

Pretty much all Blackhawk pouches, I discovered the Well magazines fit perfectly in a double 40mm pouch. 
 

If it doesn’t work I’ll probably just throw all the bits I need into a claymore bag and roll with that instead!

Travelling light there fella.

Where do you stash your mags.

Nice and simple though?

I was using a 900 round hi cap mag and had 1, 300 hi cap in my pocket. Just in case... lol

 

[SheriffHD]

First game with h my new chest rig and top. It's hard to find good clothing when you're a big guy.

Vest is a he Emerson gear MK3 filled up with 5 nuprol 30-120med caps (really love these mags)

The gun is a cluster of parts. Put together. 

G& P receiver - cyma gearbox (with rocket gears and shs motor) - nuprol bocca m-lock rail + bocca silencer - madbull 6.03tbb - winpro rotary hop - patrol base unbranded buffer tube and outer barrel - magpul MOE stock clone.

Never really had experience tecking on a gun so building everything up from scratch was fun and nice to learn gun lasted all day without any issues.

All in all I'm happy with my load out for now but I would like to get a GBBR next.

This load out has (the self designated) title 'raider' 

Kept it simple and cheap(ish) this is for a weekender where 'civvy' is an option, the bag is mostly for food, cook kit and hydration as we are kinda ammo limited.

The grab bag is an absolute divine piece of gear, love the capacity and load bearing and as it sits beneath the rest it is pretty stable as well.

Trying my kit on quickly just to check the fit while I'm out of the game. Everything needed to be let out (again). Please excuse the state of the room, lol. We had our second kid 2 weeks ago and our 1 year old likes to run around trashing the place and making out with his reflection.

Did some final changes to my helmet, I mixed and matched two caiman mandibles (a tan and black), the black one with shorter struts so it sits closer to the face and I can actually aim down my eotech.

I'm not sure if I should use the Tan main part of the mandible instead of the black, I'll post a comparison pic soon.

It's because I don't really like the colour of the tan on it, looks very plastic-y.

There's a Foliage Green model of it that I might get and try that with (rest of my kit is all ranger green / multicam).
