Stormhall Posted July 13, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormhall Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Da Mack Posted July 13, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Supporters M_P Posted July 14, 2013 Supporters Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longshot Posted July 14, 2013 Share 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.

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 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
