Stormhall Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 I was wondering if it would be acceptable in most airsoft sites to cosplay as a certain character from any anime/movie/video game franchise. Some of you may say that we already cosplay as our favorite armed forces (SAS, USMC, Spetsnaz etc...) but I want to dress like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Char-Aznable-cosplay-costume-01-/220723159504 Now I just feel I may gain some hate with the "stealth" squads so I feel it's a good frontline costume. (It will look slightly different with my belt platform and it's mag pouches attached) EDIT: I changed the link to the actual costume.
adam bussey Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 do it I am making a roy fokker costume from macross zero and I plan on airsofting in that
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted July 13, 2013 Supporters Posted July 13, 2013 Brave. People will take the piss.
Stormhall Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 Brave. People will take the piss. Some people already take the piss out of me for playing airsoft. So I'll be fine.
Stormhall Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 Brave. People will take the piss. Oh wait now I know why you said that. Wrong link I meant this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Char-Aznable-cosplay-costume-01-/220723159504
Supporters M_P Posted July 13, 2013 Supporters Posted July 13, 2013 Some sites may not like it- just a word of warning
Zak Da Mack Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Plus you'll get lit up like a Christmas tree, red is NOT a good camouflage
Stormhall Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 red is NOT a good camouflage Neither is movement which is what many non-snipers such as myself will be doing so I fail to see the validity of your point.
Zak Da Mack Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Neither is movement which is what many non-snipers such as myself will be doing so I fail to see the validity of your point. Movement is still a lot, less obvious than bright red. Red doesn't blend into anything and you can be seen a mile off
Stormhall Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 Movement is still a lot, less obvious than bright red. Red doesn't blend into anything and you can be seen a mile off My gun is already 51% bright green and I want to look cool and different instead of being another camo clad or black soldier killing stuff.
adam bussey Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 having fun while doing it is the most important thing about airsoft.
Zak Da Mack Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 My gun is already 51% bright green and I want to look cool and different instead of being another camo clad or black soldier killing stuff. ok, have fun then

meddy Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Plus you'll get lit up like a Christmas tree, red is NOT a good camouflage i use red cammo fine at hiding no problem ;D
Supporters M_P Posted July 14, 2013 Supporters Posted July 14, 2013 Yes but that's not as bright and is broken up, someone in a full Santa suit for example will stand out more than someone wearing camo gear, even if the camo does contain some red.
meddy Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 depends on environment makeup and colour and how sneaky you are. heck at halloween we had hellboy sneaking about slaughtering us all XD and his own team gunning him down a lot to when he did appear to tell us stuff. fieldcraft and stealth is all ya need .. and heck were shooting plastic at up to 100m away and heck in cqb does it matter what you wear? airsoft is what you make it ^^ what floats ya boat do it! if it don't el sparko from zero in at F&O somehere in kidderminster i think or we could all get together as the grand chav army bo ;D

Finius can suck a big one. With regard to the actual topic though, I have to agree with Ian, I liked his post before realising that the photo he'd said that about, wasn't the one I saw, since you updated the link. I can't imagine how the original link must've looked, 'cos I'd still agree with what Ian said about the new one.
Longshot Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 The team I play with, Team Bacon, distinguish themselves by always wearing bright Hawaiian shirts (and recently banana suits) just to prove the point that you can enjoy airsoft (and beat other teams) no matter what you wear. It's all about the fun. That said, I can't bring myself to do it, so I wear OD and black and have a chest rig, as a result I'm considered a 'geardo' by the rest of the team.
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted July 14, 2013 Supporters Posted July 14, 2013 I don't mind looking a right bell-end occasionally, but I'm fcuked if i'm gonna pay £100 to do it!

It was a crappy red t-shirt with some japanese writing and a picture of char aznable next to it. Great for everyday wear but not actual cosplay/airsoft material.
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted July 14, 2013 Supporters Posted July 14, 2013 Well there was a list of stuff, amongst which was the bell-end suit. I assumed that the T-shirt couldn't be the point - i mean cosplay needs more than a T-shirt, right?
