kasaran Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 I may have a problem. Every time I think i have all the rifs I want or need something happens to add more onto the list. I wanted an urban sniper so brought the bulpuped svd, ASP SVU. So with a russian gun I brought some russian camo and gear to go with. As a result of that I have now been looking at Ak74U's most notably the cyma version as its £100 for the 1 joule version on TG. Anyone else find random developments or purchases suddenly give them the urge to buy rifs that didnt originally intend on buying? Eventually this will annoy the missus....

But I only have one uniform which is a French F2 CCE type. Influenced by my love for the Famas. It seems to work really well in this country especially in the autumn and winter (Probably because of the extra tan) Unfortunately I am very gun centric so I use money for those above any other uniforms. I do have three types of vest/carriers depending on the situation. I am determined to get a black/urban style kit next year though as they would suit the MP5 and P90!
EvilMonkee Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Oh I have this problem. I buy RIFs based on what loadouts I want to run rather than the other way around - primary problem of being mainly a historical themed airsofter.
Supporters Gepard Posted December 17, 2018 Supporters Posted December 17, 2018 I tend to buy the kit and then the gun later but yes, I do have a bit of this problem. Been looking at Gorka suits recently for a Russian setup.
Guest Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 I own lots of pairs of jeans and too many band t-shirts. I might have a camo hat knocking around somewhere ??
Mr Gold Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 a nice man Utd shirt so we can all shoot your ass will do ha ha.

Russian SF look increasingly like UK/USA SF with Multicam which is disappointing as part of their appeal was always the weird camos etc.

Still got bits to do on my British one so spending even more money on this is not something I'm all that eager to fall into. This is what I'd be basing it off of though. Shouldn't be too difficult. Looks like a KP-3 helmet, Smersh vest, Gorka 3, some Blackhawk! kneepads and an AK.

Anyone else find random developments or purchases suddenly give them the urge to buy rifs that didnt originally intend on buying? Eventually this will annoy the missus.... HA! Yes I too suffer a similar affliction. Perhaps reversed. I see a rif, I buy a rif, rif need's sling/holster, then pouches, then belts/vests & Repeat. I don't follow any specific unit at all. I simply use what works, and I have more piled up that doesn't than what does! I run 3 camos (plus more I rarely use) and have multiple rifs which must blend visually. I do try and stick with OD/woodland webbing as it means I can wear it with pretty much any given camo. Each rif has it's own webbing. Partly because they're rarely cross compatible rifs (MP5 mag won't fit in a stanag pouch etc..), partly out of function (role specific perhaps so gear is attached to different locations), partly because it's fun (variety) and mostly because time goes into 'getting it right' so I don't like to change it once set. They all work with all the camos. I'm only happy if the camos are a perfect match - not too big a deal if surplus but if third party then it's a gamble. Worst for me has been Tiger Stripe. So many variants and brands. I like the old vietnam style but as it's basically a third party camo and it's been a mission (don't buy seperately at different times is key - get it all and get it from the same place at the same time to insure a match). I have tried to stay away from Rusky kit as it's a blackhole for the wallet. I do have an AK though... and I'd like a K6-3 or similar. So I cringe at a new rif, as it means new kit 99% of the time! It's a lot of fun though... lol
Pdubyuh Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Buy a new gun, build the loadout round it, thank god everyone uses multicam these days.

Supporters Druid799 Posted December 17, 2018 Supporters Posted December 17, 2018 Yup me as well ! Problem I have is every man and his dog is running MTP/MC kit these days so I go for the more ‘obscure’ or older loadouts , do like the older Russian camo patterns (especially the funky ones) only thing I do is I always badge them up with Ukrainian badges not Russian (as I support the Ukrain in there current struggle ?) or just old UK/US kit .

Supporters Rogerborg Posted December 17, 2018 Supporters Posted December 17, 2018 If I get some long stripey socks and a bobble hat for Xebusmass, I guess I'll have to get a gold plated HPA hi-capa to go with them.
FreeFrag.UK Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Some of my kits are inspired by real world counter parts but then I'll also happily throw on a pair of jeans, t-shirt and my carrier/rig. At the moment I've got an AKMS which I'm toying with the idea of getting wood furniture for but then I'm also trying to work out what the latest Russian loadout would be to accompany said kit. I was going to run it with a railed hand guard originally but I've been led to believe I was given some poor information. I've found researching Russian stuff to be a big pain in the backside so at present my AKMS comes out with the jeans, t-shirt and tan plate carrier.
Wo1f Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 This works both ways for me. I buy a gun and then need a loadout for it, or I buy some gear which ‘forces’ me to buy a new gun.. or i I do what happened the other day. Played the first metal gear solid for the first time in years the other day and ended up ordering a Colt SAA.

They don't really use the AKMS anymore apart from maybe a few in the SF units. Stick with the quasi Insurgent look and you cant go far wrong.

The load out I was hoping to put together wasn't a current load out but one from just prior to it falling out of use. My understanding is that some units, such as VDV, were using it during the second Chechen war.

kasaran Posted December 19, 2018 Author Posted December 19, 2018 Yeah. LCT are a bit too much. Cyma 74u is a good price. Only other temptation is the ics as then i can get it from firesupport whose shop is like a mile from me. But the ics 74u is twice the price. Definately want the wooden front grip mind. So long as its not orangey coloured. But i guess i could colour coat it with wood paint?

Trying to get my hands on a CM.048M for this very reason. Its a nice feeling and looking gun which shoots straight but also doesn't cost me a liver!
emilianoksa Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 I bought a WAS universal holster but the pistols I have are all known for dropping mags in this rig. They are safer in Nuprols. Should I sell it unused for 25 quid or save up for a TM HK45? ? I like the holster and I like the HK45, but even so. In some ways I'd rather have a TM Glock 22. I have plenty of WE mags for one.
