Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic

[MikeMarden]

Something a little different for me- local site,  Apocalypse Airsoft in Kent had a 48 hour Milsim last weekend, theme was Police & DEA Vs. Mexican & Colombian Cartels. Have to say that this was the best Milsim (& most fun) I've attended within the past few years.

 

I was on the Mexican (Yellow Diablo's) - Given the time out on the ground opted for something little lighter, WAS Plate Carrier & all attached binned off in favour for a WAS Battle Belt & back plate system, lightened the load considerably whilst still being able to take all essentials out with me.

 

Yellow dress up kit was all EBay jobbies & all cost less than £30

WAS Battle Belt / sling system in A-TACS AU

Marui 416D Delta AEG

Jack Pyke Tundra Boots

Hero Shark "Mako" mesh bins

I always love good-looking loadouts that are different than usual. Well done, looks Ace

Thanks buddy - there were x12 of us all dressed fairly similar, we were all surprised how good the camo was, what with a decent couple of sunny day & a lush green & dense woodland it worked rather well, something none of us were expecting!

Ran a slightly different loadout today (I tend to go for consistent Flecktarn or Tropentarn and not mix, but the Bundeswehr do it - so I thought "why not?").

It was brutally hot in Dundee today, so I figured this suited the weather!

 

Inspired by some photos I've seen of the KSK in Afghanistan.

What face pro are you wearing?  I've been experimenting with cheeks welds and can't really with a paintball mask.

 

I used to use the G36C with the stock folded, but with an M4 wanted give it a go.

 

Cheers

I swapped to sawflies last month and found something rather weird yesterday... The sunglasses lenses don't fog at all, however the clear lenses do! Not nearly as much as goggles fog, but still enough to be annoying. 

[djben9]

mmm interesting...., ive only used the clear ones and mine fog the moment i put them on....brain must be over heating! 

 

I'll try the smoked lens next time

 

would like to use them if i can

I noticed the same about my Vega shooting glasses as well..

Clear lens: fogs up eventually

Grey or yellow: hardly fog up..

 

I knew I should have played with grey lenses yesterday 👿

Finally got out on Saturday. It’s been 7 months since my last time out!! 

 

Thought I’d go MC and a light chest rig for my first time at Urban Assault. Proved to be a wise decision. 

 

RM4 faired well for its first use in 5 months. definitely need to change out the rubber and nub.

You're thinking of the 'milsim' parts of instagram, not this place.

There not full seal in the way  that googles are but  arr.really large on the face   so offer loads of protection. Wont move away from my  full seal for cqb  though  I am gonna get the proper headstrap too ro keep  them tight ro the face 

 

It is a difficult one to balance , unless your going full sealed face contact goggles you ARE going to run the risk of a B.B. getting inside your glasses but at least it’s not going to be straight line contact but indirect travel across the lenses so it ‘shouldn’t’ do any damage ( may hurt like hell if it gets in to the eye space but shouldn’t be able to penatrate and do permanent damage) just a risk you have to sit down and think about and try and make a sensible decision over  .

Heard it a hundred times, as I'm sure you could imagine.  Fact is there's way too many 'hardcore milsimmers' on the gram talking about taking scalps and doing gangster shit and murdering bad guys out on the ground as part of their Recce team and they can all suck a fat one; barely any of it is tongue in cheek.  They drink their own kool aid and sit in echo chambers with other idiots who think talking that way is a good idea.  If you don't even have the balls to join the bloody raf and get an operational medal that way (and I barely count mine as eligible, I think there should be combat and non combat variants) you need to pipe the fuck down about being 'an operator'.

 

This is not a rant at you, but that's my thoughts and I don't censor them to protect the feelings of people who talk like they're triple hard but never served a day.

Don’t milsim shame me ‘brother’, I won’t be able to hold down my operator coffee, I may even spill it on my ART15 tee shirt! #milsim #oaf #hoodrats #etc

One of the truest paragraphs I’ve read on the net in a VERY long time .

This is the biggest cliche of them all but your a grown arse man running around with what’s for all intents and purposes is a toy gun (admittedly a toy that could take a tooth out or even blind someone) but it’s still a toy so please don’t give it the big hard I am , just try and enjoy the game for what it is , or if your still set on being the big hard ‘life taker’ that you talk your self up to be , go join an MMA club and THEN come back and tell us how hard you are !
