JerseyRider Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Hi Guys, I dont know if you knwo but i am a British Armed Forces Freak (A BAFF) I am currently running a SAS Woodland type look Explanation?? It just happend lol, Got the M4 (which funny enough they prefer over the SA80), The DPMs and the Standered Issue combat vest But i dont want to persuse the same old "British" look on the airsoft field so i was looking for a differnt Divsion/Corps & Regiments I was looking at the 3 (UK) Division which is a "deployable division" which is based in the south of england (which is the closest i am going to get to Jersey) but this is just a bog standered british army look so i dunno Has anyone got any ideas (and keep it british ey ) Thanks again guys Jack I think i may of found one Special Forces Support Group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Forces_Support_Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Matt! Posted June 15, 2010 Supporters Share Posted June 15, 2010 well they currently run a modified C8 they call the L119A1, if you were willing to spend the money then i would say it would make that more SAS ish. but the m4 is perfectly fine if you not willing to splash out the money. a pic of your loadout would help or what era your looking to recreate. but being as its woodland all i can think would be comms and backpack as per the normal RAV vest and DPM's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyRider Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Yer i will get a picture of both my load-outs which are slightly different but if you watch some of my videos you might be able to see my load-out And i am looking for the current eras which i know can be classifiied like the SFSG is Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK19 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 If you look up SBS (special boat services) and go to google images there are some good ideas there. I know its not a great look for woodland, but it does offer you another perspective got a good page as well: http://www.specialboatservice.co.uk/sbs-photos.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyRider Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 The thing is with the SAS and the SBS is their loud-outs veary from soilder to soilder becuase they use what works with them Also anyone can through on a pair of DPMs grab a M4 and call them selfs a SAS renactor And my site is heavy woodland so i will need to keep it greenage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Matt! Posted June 16, 2010 Supporters Share Posted June 16, 2010 You sure?? lol as above it is a modified C8, basically a C8 SFW aka L119A1. the m4 is a pass off for airsoft ofc but its always nice to know seeing as you like the British army so much anyway get some load out pics up so we can give you some more advice couldn't really see your load out in some of the vids i watched.

Supporters Nutster Posted June 17, 2010 Supporters Share Posted June 17, 2010 And i am pritty sure the SAS in perticular use the M4, the Colt Commando modal to be excat find me a pic to prove that , and it'll still end up being a diemaco C8 just the cqb rather than the sfw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Matt! Posted June 17, 2010 Supporters Share Posted June 17, 2010 perfect example but they run a RIS rail and dont run that foresight RIS. the noticeable differences between the m4 are different barrel different pistol grip old school stock with butt pad correct me if im wrong / missed anything.

G-Force Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 The british army is changing its camo to Multi-Terrain Pattern (multicam in other words) instead of DPM so you could have a multicam based loadout. Whats funny is that the US army is thinking of using it to so its gonna be hard to tell the differance if they do change it! Heres a picture of me in my multicam kit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Oh and by the way my multicam is the fake american one but it looks very simmilar to the British, but the British is just darker and much much much more expensive so if i was you just buy the cheap one if your interested however DPM will still be around for a while to.

Its also illegial for you to own the real thing right now, too... All the stuff I've seen and a rank patch I own (which is legal to own, and you can buy freely) is all lighter, and a slightly brighter green. Apart from a desert version of multi cam ( ) which was darker and browner. Only first/front line UK units in Afghanistan get the new Multicam. Others, and those currently in the UK keep DPM. UK units on tour but not in Afghanistan keep DPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Nutster Posted June 28, 2010 Supporters Share Posted June 28, 2010 right before this annoys me any more. the british forces are not using multicam, they are using Multi Terrain Pattern (MTP) which is multicam based however its a mix of multicam and the traditional DPM multicam DPM MTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Sorry, I only call it multicam because thats: 1)How I remember it and 2)how the store clerk/QM in my cousin's unit refers to it 'multi-cam', never MTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbadon101 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Right I am going to cover a few points here. 1. MTP is the new camouflage, it is an adaptation of Crye Multicam but is a little different due to the pattern used. 2. The SAS and SBS currently use the Deimico C8 SFW (British Army designation L119A1) in both 16" and 10" variants. I don't think used the M4 officially, they used to use the M16, XM177 and M733 (amongst alot of other things) but the M4 was never to my knowledge adopted by them, and certainly hasn't been used by them in either Iraq or A'stan. 3. The SFSG use both L85's and L119A1's (due to the Hereford gun club having more weapons than shooters so the released alot to be used by the guys in 1PARA and the like for SFSG ops). The M4 is a look-a-like of the L119A1 but if you really want do do it right then you need either the L85 or L119A1. Your best bet is to either get the L85 for a brit look or get some ACU/MARPAT/USwoodland and do a septic loadout. You have alot more freedom with yank stuff too.

Supporters Matt! Posted June 29, 2010 Supporters Share Posted June 29, 2010 didnt know SFSG were using the L85 aswell as the L119A1, anyway back on track, jersey you going to get your loadout up soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a mate in the army who has some of the real stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
