Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic

i didn't know the chair force was using MTP has every one been given it since i left also so i love the retro helmet net B)

Well, it'd be a bit silly from a logistical point of view for only the army and marines to switch and the rest of us still be wearing DPM.

Some photos from today's "Big Sunday" at Skirmish Airsoft in Mansfield, day after the night game. My first ever airsoft weekender.

Shame I don't have my Oakleys, UBACS or Bowman headset yet, this photo could've been much better:

It's the site's Facebook page cover photo though, so I'm quite pleased about that

My forum patch is clearly visible this time too, so no moaning about it, Ian lol.

 

[MZKaleem]

Ed what radio you got?

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Just some basic Motorola thing. TLKR T6 I think.

The bowman I'm getting is a lookalike, not the real deal.

 

[MZKaleem]

Ahh, I'm thinking about getting a replica bowman and PTT for my radio, just some cheap Binatone off amazon! bowmans look awesome!

 

[craig]

my webbing and pack for NAE everything for three days

 

[jcheeseright]

that's a LOT of mags!

 

[craig]

yeah well its only over kill when you run out of ammo and i don't plan to run out of ammo 15 low caps 5 hi caps 3 sig mags 5 40mm's 2 canteens of water 1 canteen of ammo a colt 25, m92f and p226r all in all 13kg 16kg when full of ammo

 

[jcheeseright]

I'll post mine on wednesday when my new shiny belt arrives.

 

[jcheeseright]

So it's not quite wednesday... but here's what I'll be taking along to the NAE, excluding clothes, obviously...



Looks like a lot of stuff, but when packed away it's actually a surprisingly low profile set up.

nice one lad a lot more modern than my one, nice to see some one else is bringing a repair kit

Mate, as an audio professional let me just tell you what I call the company you have just referred to - Belongs-In-The-Bin-Atone.

To be fair to them, their gear does last, but I wonder if that's because people try their best not to use it unless they have no other options so it doesn't get the same amount of wear'n'tear as kit that you love. The problem is that they appear to believe that the best balancing act that can be achieved between cost and quality involves sacrificing decent shielding, which results in interference, ie hums, hisses, and break-in from transmitting radio/wireless equipment.

Anyway, the Z-Tactical Bowman-copy headsets, one of which Ed will soon have, are good, reasonably priced and look cool... I'm also happy enough with the Z-Tactical PTT with the 2.5mm TRS jack for Motorola Talkabout series and XTR446's (which also fit Cobra MT series).

BTW, does anybody know of any patches which say "Chairborne Infantry" on them?

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Here's some photos of me from yesterday's game at Skirmish. It's surprising how much better my loadout looks compared to last time when all I've done is add an MTP UBACS and a headset.

 

[M_P]

I don't get on with helmets but with all the rest of your kit, it definitely looks the part

 

[Namaco]

I don't get on with helmets but with all the rest of your kit, it definitely looks the part

Gotta agree the helmet looks a bit weird on Ed xD I think a cap would look better lol

 

[Cerbo Knight]

I dunno, I kinda like the helmet. It adds to the look imo, but only when it's actually fitted properly and it's not swinging around getting in the way... that's why I don't wear my helmet

The rest of the loadout is very nice too, I'm warming to multicam... Gotta get my own loadout sorted soon.

 

[Ian_Gere]

I think it looks cool, Ed, helmet included. Obviously you still need to sand the rubber to a matte finish and I reckon you should add the band too. If it doesn't fit properly, tell me and I'll sort it out for you.

Oh, and you need a coyote dump pouch instead of black :-D

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I've got a massive list of stuff I still need lol.

If I get an MTP or Multicam dump pouch and my Oakley hard knuckle gloves ever arrive then I'll be happy with it though.

But I still need a pistol holster and pistol mag pouches, the correct knee pads, the correct boots, the correct helmet, a CamelBak and the correct rig lol. Basically the only parts of it that aren't going to change are the UBACS and trousers.

I still need 6 more Emags as well, 'cos I'm still running with 6 STANAGs and 6 Emags.

Around the end of October/November when I get paid I'm planning on getting the Ares spring AWSM .338, as well as finishing the L119 project, so I'll probably have a whole new loadout in the works before I've even finished this one lol.

In short, it's not done yet lol.
