German surplus snow camo poncho from Patrol Base - tenner

- just in case it snows again

 

and while I was paying for postage:

25A fuses £3, a bitz box £1 and £4 for a set of A2A shims which are a copy of those made by SHS, including the copper ones i favour - so that when i get round to putting the airbrake piston head i recently bought into my G36 build, i can shim it while i'm at it.

 

Also got a snow camo net from fleabay - 7' x 8' £6.70 inc P&P - I mean @that price i couldn't resist

 

more fleabay stuff:

 

some 20mm & 25mm black webbing,

a little lanyard to attach a turbo flame lighter to my RICAS,

a micro torch & bandage scissors for my med kit,

an old style massive British Army scrim scarf & OD vest,

some gold plated z-type banana plugs for the 5000mAh LiPo i recently bought,

some nuts & bolts to add a sling mount & locking pin to my G36 build,

4 black G36 double mag pouches (only 1 of which i really need for my loadout but @£1.50 each it seemed churlish not to buy them all),

15m black 550 paracord (cos u can never have enough paracord),

Royal Marines arctic suit (quilted windproof jacket liner & the matching zip-side kecks) - i'm gearing up for a winter night game in hopes i'll get to one :),

and a bunch of Deans Connectors - cos i'm convinced they are the way forward.

No CIRAS, but you might like this.

 

For me from RSOV:

 

kit_0693_1.jpg

'5KU' 4" Quick Detach Ultralight Vertical Grip for 20mm Rail (-45 TypeB 5KU-111-45) ~ $18.99

- for my G36KV project

 

(lot of 4) x A.C.M. quick wind-up magazine spare keys ~ $0.07

- might turn out to be useful and for 1.1p each, why not?

 

'Hornbill Products' aluminium Air Seal Nozzle for G36C AEG (hb_5039) ~ $4.00

- for my G36KV project - I prefer the thought of metal parts where possible

 

tag_0746_s_1.jpg

'Patch Union' Small Skull morale velcro patch (OD) ~ $1.25

- again, for that price, why not?

 

'Loadout Master' W25 bulk double sided velcro cord (25mm x 500mm - Black) ~ $1.25

- I'm making a molle panel to attach to the left velcro panel & shoulder strap of my RICAS and this stuff will attach around & to the strap.

 

'Vanaras' invisible IR laser module (780nm - Class IIIA) ~ $17.20

- long term NV project.

 

P&P ~ $11.00 - lovely!

 

From fleabay:

$T2eC16hHJGkE9no8jD2fBRGVo)Y0Ug~~60_12.JPG

3 x crossed rifle badges ~ £5.00 + P&P

- I want the subdued one to replace the white one I have sewed to my DPM shirt.

 

DPM Goretex Jacket ~ £18.70 inc P&P

- not so much for airsoft as because my Bugatti raincoat got some paint on it and, as yet, I haven't been arsed to figure out how to get it off. I'm thinking acetone, but it's white paint on a black synthetic coat, so I dunno...

 

S10 Respirator Ballistic Replacement Lenses ~ £16.88 inc P&P

- bit of a fierce price but it saves me making them myself lol.

Since you're not trying to copy any existing military force or anything, I'd go for a Harris up front AND a standard foregrip, think it can look pretteh baus.

 

I am kind of basing it of the SEALs one, so a kind of SF look

Just got an email today telling me that the SRC M16 I ordered is out of stock :(

I got a full refund and I'll be picking out something different this week.

Could be a blessing in disguise. Gen II SRC guns don't have a good rep. How much was it?

 

I just bought a pair of Lvl IV ballistic plates for £40.11 inc P&P from fleabay.

 

& that is it!

 

Edit: except this...

121060210693_1.jpgVIPER DROP LEG DUMP BAG LARGE ~ £16.95 inc P&P

- it was the last one ffs!

 

but that is definitely now it!!

'Bout £150. I was after an M16 in what I call the Tier 2 price range (£100-£200) for a marine setup, but I'm possibly going to get an ACM shotgun so I can continue with the marine setup. The shotgun is styled after a Remington 870MCS shotgun and I believe that the USMC use 870s. Only problem is that the stock mags stick out of the bottom, however G&P make shorter mags for the shotguns that ACM cloned, so with a little expendature I'll get a true 870 :)

I think the US Marines now use the Benelli M4 Super 90, otherwise known by the US Military designation - M1014, which you'll probably know from some CoD game or BF3.

Problem is that the only M1014 shotgun under £200 is the Double Eagle shitface thing. I'd much rather buy something under £200 because it'd have to be painted, and I don't want to buy an expensive gun which would have to be ruined by a bright green finish.

British Army are using them as well now (hint hint Ed)

Nick, we've had those for years now

The double eagle tri shots aren't bad, for the price they're well worth. Cheap usable weapons

I know D=

 

I'm not much of a shotgun guy though. I'm also put off by the fact it's a pump shotty in airsoft, but a semi auto in real life. I'm all about authenticity as you know and shotguns just aren't real enough.

 

I imagine the airsoft one is made of some horrendous paper light plastic too.

What about this Tac?

Under £200 and it's a Benelli M4 Super 90.

 

Even I'm tempted at that price tbh... Even if it is plastic =[

 

It is out of stock though... Plus I've never even heard of CAW...

I had the double eagle M3 version of the tri-shot and it only worked on .12s, with virtually no accuracy. I'd much rather have the ACM M3 and use it in some sort of special forces/law enforcement setup, I'm not very interested in having a totally realistic setup gear wise.

edit: Ed, CAW make stupidly expensive clones of weapons, they have an ICS MGL clone for £300. Mosquito, better known as mosquito moulds, make tiny RIS mounted GLs (http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/mosquito-molds-m203-mini-launcher). The shotgun you linked is just an expensive version of the double eagle weapon. The double eagle version has the exact same metal:plastic ratio and it's about £90 cheaper .

CAW are not a clone manufacturer. It stands for craft apple works (i think)

Their revolving launcher is not a clone of the ICS, it's much older- and looks nothing like the ICS

They focus more on niche items- launchers etc.

 

As far as i now, they dont make stuff anymore, atleast I havent seen anything new from them- atleast not the UK anyway.

Their shotgun ed linked to again is not the same as the double eagle one either.

I've thought about it, but the right parts aren't available yet, plus I'd rather drink bleach than touch a V2 gearbox again for a long while.
