LightningCh Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 It's a Jackal Ghillie suit by Jack Pyke Retailers online are showing its £100+ I got it preowned when I bought the VSR 10 and MK23 in the bundle I posted here Where he got it from I don't know though. I paid £600 and got kryptek mandrake stuff, action cam, and all sorts lol. Duff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Pre made ghillies suck imo.. Most of the times your surroundings won't match the ghillie shape/colour making you stand out more than a pink t-rex costume.. I made one, took me ages to find the correct colour tones and arrangement to make it work, but at the end of the day you couldn't see me within 20 feet from you..

Oh I do agree, this will probably stand out really badly at Stormforce it's 100% more for "looking the part" lol. But with the distances Stormforce offers, you will either be easily visible, or way too far away to be seen lol. But I'll be the only ghillie wearing player anyway so I'll stand out for that reason alone lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skara Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hooked it on the back of my car with a cinder block on it and went for a ride on a dirt road, then dumped it in the mud several times.. The first time I wore it I couldn't bend lol.. Ditched it after selling my vsr10, I was so tired of sniping that I couldn't even look at a magnified optic without the need to drink bleach xD While it's true that a well made ghillie has a lot of natural material on it, the base tone must be somewhat similar to the environment, otherwise it's like trying to hide a black bear in the arctic..

It makes me sad that you've got a £1200 optic and a manky looking bit of lexan on a rail mount protecting it The objective lens 'cavity' has room for a protective insert!

Has the Bible verse on the side, moulded trademarks, and the tritium illuminates in the dark... There isn't a fibre optic nor batteries. Guy was ex army and selling as it was old... I assume it is about 20+ years old, not that it looks it. Came with a La Rue mount which I am not convinced is 100% genuine, but am no expert. My brother bought the LAW mounted ACOG off of him a few months later for about the same and made a lovely profit on it. djben9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wo1f Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Is mixing mtp and multicam a big no-no? My PC is genuine multicam, but there isn’t really a lot of options for multicam uniform that isn’t the likes of Crye. You can get a full set of army issued mtp uniform on eBay for £60. Crye multicam trousers are £270 on their own. Is there that much between them pattern wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes back to my point about being close enough to tell. I reckon unless you pointed it out nobody would be the wiser. Wo1f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a full set of army issued mtp uniform on eBay for £60. Crye multicam trousers are £270 on their own. Is there that much between them pattern wise? Where have you been looking? There's tons inbetween if you want actual multicam for a whole bucket less money than Crye. I do often tell people to get MTP anyway when I get asked because you can't beat it really in terms of maximum value for the money. However I know personally I've reviewed and written about lots of options in the middle that are pretty well priced and come in real multicam fabric for those who specifically want that for whatever reason. Leo kolher's good, tru-spec, sometimes 5.11 and there's a few others. As with a anything if you've not dug in to ebay/forum classifieds/FB groups for other gear you'll miss out. Cryes get sold for well under half retail all over the place; which is still a lot obviously but again a much better price than retail. Purely as examples I've got a couple of MC items listed for sale myself right now and they might not be your size but if you look at the prices you'll see what you can get if you just take the time to look around (saying this to anyone reading the thread btw, not just yourself).

Supporters jcheeseright Posted February 26, 2018 Supporters Share Posted February 26, 2018 I’ve never been to a milsim that differentiates between MTP and Multicam, even the truly hardcore end of the spectrum where uniforms were very specific (Combat Airsoft Group) no one would have raised an eyebrow. As always, the ‘rumours’ of how elitist and exclusive milsim is are worse than the reality that it is a really inclusive community of people who just want to get something a little different out of your Airsoft experience. 18 hours ago, Wo1f said: i couldn't care less if an individual gear snob doesn't like it.
