EDcase Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I don't think its been mentioned yet, (sorry if I missed it) but I would consider essential CQB equipment to include a couple of grenades. My preference are timed ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonfodder Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 More than once I found myself taking up a defensive position and my knee landed on something soft, especially on the ground floor. Mind you it meant I usually had plenty of space on the train home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted January 29, 2021 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2021 Also, in order to look like a top quality CQB player. Here's a ProTip: Have a standalone torch. Weapon mounted lights can put you at a disadvantage for a few reasons. Mostly because it gives the other team something to aim at, thinking there's a human next to it, where's a standalone torch could be held well away from the body, and at an odd angle to keep you safe from hits. Plus you can stack up on the door and hold the torch in the top corner, blinding the other team and covering your team mates who can safely pop out and shoot past the glare.

AlphaBear Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I used to play in Leicester years ago at a place which was known as the Embassy I do believe.. It was absolutely mental. It was a disused factory about 15 mins from Fosse Park. A 3 story layout, The top floor were offices so you were darting in and out of rooms and corridors and up and down stair cases... The Ground floor was a massive open space with multiple entry and exit points and fake walls put up to provide more cover but best of all was the basement.... FCUK me! It was dark, wet, probably full of rats and the odd lightbulb that you see in horror movies moving side to side and squeaking.... When you were down there it was surreal.... You would be on your tip toes trying hard not to make a sound... Jeez looking back it was pure adrenalin fuelled orgasmic action!. I remember once running up the central stairs from the basement to the middle of the ground floor, gun blazing, bb's flying in all directions....and wallop I ran straight into a wooden wall... I went flying... but I didn't drop my Systema... hell no... I wasn't gonna scratch it lol. The top office floor was just as crazy and we did some crazy things trying to clear out the rooms... I am actually smiling as I'm writing this... And best of all was the final game known as the last stand. You'd all bunch up into the centre of the ground floor in a square formation surrounded by crates about 10 of you and then the rest of the people would come at ya... It was insane! Absolutely some of the best airsoft I've ever played. Period. In terms of BDU's people just wore what they wanted. DPM, Coyote brown, jeans, t-shirts, trainers, shorts... it really didn't matter coz there was no place you could really hide... except downstairs in the dark basement where the boogeyman lived..... he was real! Honest! He lived in Leicester in that basement!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRay Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Back to the topic of ‘what to wear for CQB’ I think camo trousers (ideally a non UK/US camo) with a black tactical shirt and black rig, shemagh and eyepro makes for a pretty sharp look. Not trying to particularly look ‘like’ any unit in particular but the overall effect is a bit mercenary which I think is quite cool. Camo has absolutely zero benefit and gives no advantage whatsoever other than camo/black/grey/coyote is a cool combination. Knee pad inserts are a must, as are gloves fuck getting shot in the knuckles!). And after the ‘should I get a sidearm’ thread the next addition will be a G17 in a chest rig.

GAMBLE Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hi @DRay! 👋 Sounds familiar what you said, then it hit me! 🤔🤪 Small reference to the Metal Gear Solid franchise! 😂👍 My video tomorrow, will be mentioning a reference to the Glock situation? 🤔 💷GAMBLE💷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRay Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 A digression from the core conversation but @GAMBLE I have come down on the side of a glock GBB because; -literally millions of options at a pretty reasonable price. -1911s are pretty ugly. -too trigger happy for a revolver. Much too trigger happy. -extra mags are pretty inexpensive. -no reasonable brownie options available. Undoubtedly that decision will change when we all get to play again and I borrow someone’s glock and decide I don’t like it and then it’s back to wondering if I can viably excuse a sawn off that is nearly as long as my M4 carbine as a ‘side arm’....

I’m not saying a G17 is a great looking piece of design, but a 1911 is ugly a sin. The sawn off is looking more and more like the CQB sidearm winner. Just how to fit it in a chest holster... 🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRay Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 @Lozart @Adolf Hamster great minds think alike fellas. Jacob has accepted my offer and pending a video of it firing later on tonight it will be in the post to me tomorrow! And that was before I saw your posts haha! a 1911 is ugly though no? The end of the barrel is a funny shape and it looks like there is a piece missing, and there is a pointlessly massive hook/thumb webbing rest thing sticking out the back of the stock. I will concede that a G17/19 looks like it is made of Lego though. I am looking forward to my P226 arriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, airsoft ones are mostly cack on account of the tiny gas reservoir in the tiny wee single stack mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
