Supporters Ian_Gere Posted May 8, 2014 Supporters Share Posted May 8, 2014 Just to clear something up, MealZ, that's a GP-7 bag - the GP-5 bag is long and thin. I use a GP-5 bag as a dump pouch and a GP-7 one to carry my ghillie veil. External kneepads are great for kneeling in wet mud etc., much better than built in which cannot but wick up water into the cloth. Not necessary, but wet kecks all day are a bummer if you can't change. ronnyjodes and CaptainSwoop 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted May 8, 2014 Supporters Share Posted May 8, 2014 My knees got kinda messed up in basic training, during just a couple of days of the final exercise they went from absolutely fine/standard spritely teenager, to barely being able to squat. Always having a weapon+webbing+bergan on then dropping to kneeling many many many times without any pads (on top of the monkey running and other larking about) and spending a long old time in the kneeling in general. I was fine at the end in every other respect (apart from stinking badly) but I genuinely felt like an immobile old man when I tried to drop down to reorganise some stuff in the bottom of a locker. Took them probably 3 years or so to go fully back to normal. For airsoft it's all about the Crye style setup to my mind. I've got a few trousers with the internal foam/neoprene but then you're just wearing through the trouser itself whenever you kneel, so having a foam pad with a plastic cap on the outside not only means the pads will last a long time but if they eventually do wear out you spend far less money. They can be occasionally tricky to position just right, but they're always somewhere in the correct sort of area; pros and cons to all the different arrangements.

MealZ Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 that's a GP-7 bag - the GP-5 bag is long and thin. That's odd then, it's what my GP-5 mask came in, are you sure? Ill link another photo showing a better view of the same bag... (not my photo) Ian_Gere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickona Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Happy that scene is about the fact his trigger safety (ie not putting his finger on the trigger unless he's shooting) is better than the guns safety so actually proves the other point that your finger isn't your safety as you're not safe by holding the trigger like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's wearing eyepro and the gun is probably not loaded. Airsofters get all butthurt about 'trigger discipline', they're toys, no one's gonna get hurt if he NDs.

I dont think it has to have a round chambered but the gun must be cocked before you can safety it. At least thats what I though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted May 13, 2014 Supporters Share Posted May 13, 2014 can't engage the safety on a standard armalite with the hammer in the forward position, needs to be cocked, loaded is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
