HarryCBurn Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Looking to make a list of some of the best looking gear and loadouts out there, because looking cool is a big part of airsoft. For the sake of the thread, let's assume that usability doesn't matter in the slightest. A few bits I saw: Exoskel Shinguards (Something like $400 though.) Hazard 4 Poncho TF3 Vest Ian_Gere 1
Brackish Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Those shin pads are cool! Wonder if they do knee pads and elbow pads to match. Would like a cyborg lol
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted September 1, 2015 Supporters Posted September 1, 2015 If I saw someone turn up with them shin pads or that hard shell vest I would take the piss badly. Best looking kit would be a tshirt or lightweight top, combat trousers for the pockets and some sort of lightweight rig/belt. Because then you look like you are there to run around and play airsoft. With that sort of kit you just look like a girl whose scared of getting a little owwie. The only armour kit that looks good and is good for airsoft is some of the masks/helmets. The rest is just unnecessary and should be banned. djben9 and n1ckh 2
Adam3088 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 That vest looks like something you'd wear to a cybergoth rave. ImTriggerHappy and Ian_Gere 2
Supporters TheFull9 Posted September 1, 2015 Supporters Posted September 1, 2015 Not to burst any bubbles, but what 'looks coolest' is totally subjective on every level, every single person has different opinions on that. I can't see how a thread themed around that concept would work. Monty and Lozart 2

Albiscuit Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Shinpads remind me of The Shredder from Ninja Turtles ImTriggerHappy 1
Aengus Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Shinpads remind me of The Shredder from Ninja Turtles That's it my next for my next loadout I'm going to be a ninja turtle
deebo Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I really want a batman loadout! Lol I'm a bit of a history nerd anyway, but I am really starting to get drawn toward world war 1 stuff, or a british commando from world war 2
Albiscuit Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 That's it my next for my next loadout I'm going to be a ninja turtle Ninja stars vs samurai swords!!!
Aengus Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Ninja stars vs samurai swords!!! Hmm ninja stars would probably have to be foam and weight less than something stupid like 1 milligram for h&s reason
Albiscuit Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 The new shop attached to The Mall had some LARP ninja stars for sale last week, was very tempted Aengus and Ian_Gere 2
Aengus Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 The new shop attached to The Mall had some LARP ninja stars for sale last week, was very tempted How much ?
Albiscuit Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Cant remember.. Almost bought a foam poleaxe for 80 quid though.. Happy 1
Aengus Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Go on eBay buy a nerf axe/sword, get your krylon on, ???, win Happy 1
Happy Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Cant remember.. Almost bought a foam poleaxe for 80 quid though.. I once had a four foot foam broadsword that I used to use for melee kills. People would honestly run away when I charged them with it!
kriegar Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 as a larper i can tell you larp throwing weapons are generally rubbish lol, very little range or accuracy as they are too light
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted September 4, 2015 Head Moderator Posted September 4, 2015 I have a Cold Steel hand-and-a- half training sword but that would break your arm or knock you unconscious, so not much good for larping. Mind you, there would be no players not calling their hit Ian_Gere 1
Russe11 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 How about: P1904 cavalry bandolier Khaki drill service dress from whatprice glory Wolseley Pith helmet For the WW1 Camel corps look. Albiscuit 1
Albiscuit Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Russell that is a handsome looking bandolier!!
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted September 6, 2015 Head Moderator Posted September 6, 2015 Yes but the helmet takes the pith djben9 and Ian_Gere 2
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted September 7, 2015 Supporters Posted September 7, 2015 For sure in airsoft body armour is for ikkle girls, but practicality aside, the body armour from the film "Aliens" is the absolute classic TDB of looking like you're there to get some... Edit to add: you can get ex-police riot gear shin guards on ebay occasionally. Not quite as aggressive looking as those in the OP but still pretty hardcore. Oh yeah, and what about the belt rig Jack Rackham from "Black Sails" wears? But for ease of airsoft doability, you can't get much cooler than: Colonel Kurtz 1
Colonel Kurtz Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 For sure in airsoft body armour is for ikkle girls, but practicality aside, the body armour from the film "Aliens" is the absolute classic TDB of looking like you're there to get some... There is/was a pub in cornwall somewhere called 'Excalibur' i think, and the owner had a bunch of the original armor sets from Aliens out on display, as well as some suits of armor from film Excaliber. I also got to see a bunch of stuff at the LFCC this year (f*ck paying £100+ for a photo with Mrs Weaver and the power-lifter though) As for the armor linked by the OP, I'm pretty sure that's a replica of the armor worn by the soldiers in Transformers. It's basically 1 of the 2 commonly found bits when googling 'airsoft armor' (the other being GI Joe lol), and is child sized costume which has issues with the panels catching on each other and ripping off.
