And yes in a way. He was raised by wild dogs in Chernobyl, hense his stunted growth and facial features. Unfortunately he is only good for knawing at the enemies ankles, as you can see in the photo before, his loyalty is useless (bloody wild dogs). I have tried riding him many times but we won't get into that. He has never taken a hit in his life which really f***s everyone off. During early stages of training I named him Horse hoping it would help, but now we just call him Dog. We love him though.

Memphisbelle238 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 A kit somewhere in between speed and milsim. It's my milsim load bearing equipment mixed with my Austrian Summer blouse, M81 trousers, cheap kneeps, Adidas Gazelles (Supplementary Mockbas), and my personally modified scrim boonie. The gun is a VFC Avalon I've modified to be a Colt SMG. Game Cam and StayOnTarget 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Marauder211 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I have finally got myself an Osprey mk4, bloody hell this thing is heavy! The camel back pouch is only temporary (from my assault vest) so if anybody can direct me where to get a british army camel pack (MOLLE on) that would be epic! (Yes those are power rangers douvet covers, i've had them since the 90's lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagpieTactical Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 When you say heavy, how heavy are we talking out of interest? This isn't directed at you, but it amazes me watching reviews of airsoft guns when they complain about the weight of them. They are probably all lighter than the real firearm, and that's before you add a mag of real rounds into the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that it's heavier than what i'm used to, my assault vest is a lot lighter by comparison. This has a lot more material and with the two bottles of 3000 bbs, 5 magazines (fully loaded) and various other objects invluding 3ltr water bladder. Luckily it doesn't have hard armour or real steel ammunition because it would weigh a ton. It's actually quite comfortable though and distributes the weight really well.

I ran an OP last May with soft armor. I may never skip leg day but after about 3 hours I took them out. Not fun. Even when we do work with SF/Army guys (we always kit up the same as them to prove it can be done) I hate using plates. Makes me love putting on my airsoft kit - way lighter by comparison haha.

Army gear is very practical outside of airsoft and military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The osprey system is bloody heavy to start before you even put any kit on it BUT and this is the crucial bit , if it’s a properly sized and fitted to you you just don’t notice the weight , it just feels right . Ive seen loads on the field with ones that are obviously too big/small and I’d think there the ones that feel really really heavy to wear once fully ‘kitted out’ .

Never had an issue with wearing webbing and load carrying equipment in real life. There is a lot to be said for carrying stuff lower down and letting your pelvis take the weihht rather than your shoulders and back. My comment about airsofters (mostly YouTube ones) finding airsoft guns heavy just highlights the fact we are using toy guns, as IMO they are always lighter than the real thing.

Oh god yes ! Nothing makes you hate life more than being on your absolute chin strap AND having to lump a fully loaded assault rifle across open uneven ground , T’was mainly an SLR for me with a sterling chucked in the mix every now and again! 😫 lukeB and MagpieTactical 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
