The 'What have you just bought' Thread

This:

Then add velcro and pads to the cheekbone areas like this:

The velcro on the nose bit is because my nose is big enough to rub on the mesh, so the velcro loops are more comfortable.

yea, have that one in my cart already, but wasnt sure if it would fit me well... but ill go ahead and get it

I made the pads out of a couple of bits of camping mat covered in some nylon. The velcro makes it easy to wash them, because if you just stick some foam to the inside, as I did with my first attempt woodland colour mask, it absorbs sweat and stinks but is a right ballache to actually clean. The pads move the edge of the mask out a bit so you can wear pretty much any eyepro and it wont cause problems with the mutual fit.

Tip: stitch the the velcro to the cloth before sewing the shape of the cover.

Congratulations on getting one of the best pistols you'll ever own mate haha
I have a loadout based around my socom - think Sam Fisher's loadout from Splinter Cell: Conviction but with the MK23 instead of his FN. Very fun for CQB sites.

On topic:

Recently brought some more jute, spray paint and old camo trousers. Going to revisit my ghillie project.

Never played conviction, having just looked at it on google just now I wish I still had a 360 lol. You got pics of that loadout happy?

 

[Happy]

It is literally just a pullover jumper, black combat trousers, a single sling molle bag, holster, mag pouches on my belt and rubber knife. Simplest loadout in my collection naturally and also means I don't spend forever kitting up in the safe zone. Recently found out the bag I use is big enough to hold my new kwa vz61, so that is there if I need to "go loud" but 90% of the time the pistol and some sneakiness is enough - especially at night games.

No pics though since I never seem to be around where the cameras are when using it. Proper splinter cell style - I'm just that good (I wish haha).

 

[kerby91]

What holster do you use for the socom then? As I cant seem to find one to fit haha

Viper universal holster at the moment, but I'm getting one of these:

Wraps around the pistol so can usually accommodate most pistols. Very handy considering the size of the mk23

I've been doing some T&E for a small spanish holster company that do airsoft Mk23 specific kydex rigs; Phoenix Tactical on facebook. The main business is actually D'Eagle and Mk23 holsters.

Don't think they're very cheap but they're custom hand made and work very nicely. Thought I'd mention it for the readers & lurkers out there, I know a lot of airsoft guns are rather poorly served in the holster department.

Bought a bottle of propane from Amazonia in case i use more than expected over this weekend (two days, one of them at an indoor site which is very fast-paced), spent £7 thinking i had a good deal.

two bottles were in the box

thats 4 times the usage of green gas for less than one bottle cost

 

[Sam_G]

Ordered a new set of magpul mbus for my CQBR.

And also picked up my new team camo. Full set of Vertx Kryptek Highlander.



Will get a decent Loadout picture on Sunday and show you all.

Yea, guns here are great; holsters are crap. Kydex holsters are great, thats what Safariland's are made of.

I bought a Firefox 7.4 2300 mag lipo for £27 . I went to the shop for mags because I was having misfeeds and the guy said my 9.4v nimah battery is shit and isn't powerful enough for the gun. I wish I knew this when I bought my gun but I can use shitty as a back up I suppose.
