Har har har you guys are SO funny. Hard to tell that Christian was actually joking since the sarcasm didn't pick up right away. Hey anyone else notice how great of a job Diamond Back Tactical is doing at ripping off every damn gear company out there...I mean..the list is getting pretty damn long. As Christian pointed out to me the other day, nothing they make is OG.
Title:
Post by: Airsofter1 on February 23, 2005, 11:08:36 PM
Diamondback isn't the only one, other gear makers do the same as well.  There is only so many ways to make a mag pouch.  Usually is the little things that set certain brands of gear apart.  Like some spiffy attachement system or ultra cool method of retention for mag pouches.
Title:
Post by: busta_cap on February 23, 2005, 11:37:55 PM
Yeah..I just think its funny because they're ripping off BHI but making the stuff 10x better! Has anyone used or seen their quad pistol mag pouches?

Actually, YOU were the one saying that during one of your incredibly enlightening AIM conversations.  I was saying the opposite.

Not only do I love it when you put words in other people mouth, but it's great when you f*ck it all up! :lol:

With regards to them ripping off gear, they don't.  Gear is gear, and BattleLabs stuff is a good mix of MLCS/RLCS-inspired gear and some innovative stuff like the 6004 adaptor.  It's simple busta, if you don't like their gear, don't buy it!  

I'm sure DBT will do just fine without your patronage. ;)

I seem to remember it being me saying something like "It seems like alot of Battlelab stuff seems to look just like other companies stuff" And you agreeing But ooook christian. I'm not putting words in anyones mouth anyways.

With regards to them ripping off gear..They do! Other than what we talked about(which was the way their attached to the webbing), they do it, and sometimes are just downright horrible at even trying to hide it. Its like they rip off the tags of a product already made and send it down to the sewer... I can think of one specific example off hand. Last year they started making their "Sensitive Site Exploitation bag" Which is just a Reece Gear(Maxpedition)Dump pouch. Another would be their single M4 mag pouch...Resembles that TT single M4 mag pouch just a TINY bit now doesn't it? ;)  Yeah there are only so many ways to make gear, and I would go with the BL stuff over TT because its got, in my opinion, a better fastening system. They do have some nice pouches and ideas of their own. But simply put, most of their gear is borrowed ideas from other companies, and sometimes has a slight twist to it.

Yes, the BattleLab Sensitive Site Exploitation Bag http://www.store.yahoo.com/diamondback/ ... itexb.html (http://www.store.yahoo.com/diamondback/batsensitexb.html) is a copy of the Maxpedition Medium RollyPoly http://www.maxpedition.com/product/prod ... lypoly.htm (http://www.maxpedition.com/product/product_rollypoly.htm), which is a copy of the Recce Gear Dump Pouch designed the guy over at Military Morons.  BUT, that is a version inspired by the Duty Evidence Pouch made by Eagle Industries http://www.eagleindustries.com/images/p ... AGNIFY.jpg (http://www.eagleindustries.com/images/prodimages/P_DEP_MAGNIFY.jpg) which was copied by Blackhawk (of course) http://www.blackhawkindustries.com/uplo ... CPC1BK.jpg (http://www.blackhawkindustries.com/uploads/product_images/71CPC1BK.jpg) .

That slight twist (as you put it) in a pretty innovating thing IMO.  It made the basic idea much more versatile to me - I bought one after all!

Have you ever held any BattleLab M4 pouches yet?  If you did you probably change your mind about their "stolen" designs.  It would be more than their fastening system you would think is better.

But it was first made by Recce Gear.  You see, little buss, not all gear designs are made original.  

The Paraclete RAV seems pretty innovative.  Eagle, DBT, and other smaller companies like Patriot Precision (which used to be TAS, you'll understand later) have based their releaseable designs on it.  Paraclete designed it?  Well, it was based upon the AWS releaseable vest (now called the CQB vest).  Everything down to the quad pistol mag pouch by Paraclete is almost a sure match to the AWS design.  Is Paraclete ripping them off?  I hardly think so.

Here's the interesting thing that I don't really understand.  TAS (which is now Patriot Precision) used to make interchangeable, replacement back panels for the AWS vest.  TAS changed into Patriot Precision, and now has  their version of the releaseable vest called the DAV (Direct Action Vest), which is similar to the Eagle RAV design in certain places, which is a similar vest to the Paraclete RAV, which an improvement upon the AWS vest (for which they used to make back panels).  See how it comes full circle?

No one's ripping each other off here, except the Asian airsoft companies.  Funny, I didn't hear you complaining when you bought your AAV replica made by G&P Laser Products.  Point Blank didn't lose you as a customer when you bought a knockoff vest, they'll do just fine!

Yes, the Maxpedition Rollypolly was licensed by Military Moron himself.

There are only so many ways one can make an upright utility pouch or an MLCS-style mag pouch.  Shit, you guys whine about companies ripping off designs yes go out and buy Guarder Interceptors or JTech DACH rigs.  First one I see wearing a knock off MESA vest is gonna get his ass stomped by my wife. :)

Blackhawk outdid themselves this year when they copied the SpecOps Brand Packrat/BDU Organizer, stitch for stitch, and a thing called the RIT Litter, which was designed by a Glendale Fire captain, made by Diamondback, then ripped off by Blackhawk.  I mean, even their marketing blurb is ripped off.  I've spoken to that fire captain and he didn't give BPG the OK.

Those two items were the straw regarding Blackhawk for me.  I am working hard to replace their entire STRIKE line of gear with US-made items from Specter Gear, Esstac and Tactical Assault Gear (which is upfront about copying gear, but at least it's US-Made).

Good luck with the ESSTac line, Tim.  I really like his designs, and would definitely buy it from you!  Keep us posted on that.

Most of the ESSTAC stuff I get will be Multicam, and perhaps others if he can keep up with production, which seems to be a constant issue with smaller gear makers.  Specter Gear and T.A.G. gear is also looking pretty good, though TAG is doing more a sandy Tan color than a true CB.

I just ordered a Russian Grad-1 tactical assault vest in Kamysh it was designed for the elite (Spetsnaz) units. For those of you who dont know what Kamysh is it looks  some what similar to a tiger stripe woodland, only a little more brown in my opinion.

Chest rigs offer quicker reloads than a drop leg platform ever could.  Its just too far away from your rifle to be effective.

And Im not 100% sure why everyone wants to use drop leg holsters when, unless you are wearing body armour a belt holster is MUCH more comfortable and gives you a faster draw (if that even matters).

My 3-point sling always got in the way of my pouches on my chest rig, but I guess I never looked into alternate types of slings either.

I would always just end up dropping my spare mags into my BDU jacket, where they always rattled around.   :(

I have the same problem and so do alot who have chest rigs, you just have to find the right sling for you..Which I am still doing. You could have also gone with a simple 1Pt harness.

I use a piece of 550 cord through a snaplink.  It's by no means sexy, but it works!  Right now I have it through the rear of my M4 stock, but I'm getting one of those 1-point plates for in front of the stock to make it easier.  

I think it's funny how much money guys spend on high-tech slings, only to let their AEG hang on it during breaks and re-spawns.  Seriously, how often do you need to sling your rifle in airsoft?  I don't know about you guys, but my gat spends more time at the low ready than hanging from a 50 dollar piece of nylon webbing.

If my AEG does go go down, I am more worried about fixing my 1000 dollar weapon than my ability to kill someone 30 feet away with my sidearm!

Yeah, I really need to check out some of the other sling options, but the thing I liked about my 3-point is that you can just toss it around your back when you have to climb stuff...

Now I know you're all laughing at me... but it happens... sometimes you have to climb...  [smilie=armata_pdt_27.gif]
Title:
Post by: creed_DET5 on March 01, 2005, 03:39:33 AM
True.  And not just for climbing cliffs, either.  Fences, for example, make a sling useful, unless you pass the weapon to a buddy or leave it on the ground.  So do steep hillsides - going in both directions - and climbing up/into structures.
That said, I generally partly unsling my weapon when I go into action.  You can point and shift the weapon better in order to accomodate unconventional shooting positions or obstacles.  And it's also good practise for Real Life.  You won't find anyone - one hopes - grabbing your gun muzzle and yanking on it hard during an airsoft CQB evolution, but it's a viable and effective tactic nonetheless.  If your sling is looped around your body and can't be gotten rid of fast, you're likely to become suddenly dead as you are dragged forward by your weapon onto whatever your opponent has waiting for you.  If you can let go, then the odds are better that you will still have your distance and your balance, he will have your weapon by the wrong end, and before he can correct that you can return the intended mischief with your sidearm.  Also, despite the bungees in many modern slings, barrel-thumping some guy is a lot easier if the weapon is more or less free.  Trust me :-)

Has this happened to you before?
Title:
Post by: RickEJ6 on March 01, 2005, 07:07:30 AM
I use the exact same set up as you sarge. I looped some 550 Cord through the sling mount on the stock and tied it off, and just snap it to my gear. It works nicely and costs under $10

Post by: creed_DET5 on March 01, 2005, 04:10:48 PM
Haven't had anyone try and grab my rifle, but I did have to barrel-thump some goon not too long ago.  It was kind of half-a**ed, because my sling was looped around my back, but it did the job.  I've tried the same move with my airsoft gun, and despite the bungee inside the high-speed Mamba sling I have on it, I only got about three to four inches of travel.  I'll be getting a single-point sling when I convert my current airsoft M4 to a short-barrel CQB gun, though.

Depending on what you bought from Lightfighter, be willing to wait a few months or so to get it, because as everyone knows they are always sold out;)

I'm not entirely happy with Lightfighter.  They've spiffed up their site a good deal, but they still haven't adden an "In Stock/Out Of Stock" indicator on items like many other sites have.  My experiences with them were not good, and unless I get credible evidence that they have improved their service I won't be using them again.  However, they are a good place to spot cool gear before tracking down another vendor that has it, or even getting it direct from the manufacturer.

God, man! How many rigs do you have? It's like.. are you walking along the street, and think.. "hey, I think I'll buy this: http://www.lightfighter.com/index.asp?P ... trCompare= (http://www.lightfighter.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=104&strVarSel=679,650,655&strCompare=)
"

Is that what it's like?!?! Cause if so.. I'm jealous.


No, actually I was playing in my first AA game, which happened to be a CQB event at the Cajun House.  I was using an LBT chest rig over PT armor and thought, "you know what, it sure would be nice to consolidate all this kit into one rig.  A cumberbund would be nice too, like the AWS vest."  I saw the RAV on LF and made up my mind.  I mentioned it to Hector (Raven1) who told me about Mark (stoneaglewolf) and how he can stich like a madman on a budget.  We talked, and used Raith Paraclete (read:  REAL!) RAV as a pattern for a non-releaseable Modular vest.  We changed a few of the dimensions, designed a few pouches, and I left Mark to do his work.  A few weeks later, I had my own rig just as I had imagined.  CAG D Boy got one in woodland, and I got Smoke Green.  I ended up selling it to some Japanese dude on ebay for a ridiculously high price.

Here's the funny thing- I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH GEAR!  If you want to talk gearwhores, talk to TheRev, Airsofter1, and Raith!  I discuss gear.  They own it.  Betwwen the 3 of them, there's enough Cordura to span the globe three times over.  Airsofter1 had so many BHI pouches at once, it damn near filled a small office-sized room in his house!  No, seriously.  

I was labeled as a gear whore from the start, due to the small ammount of knowledge I had on the subject.  In reality, the most gear I've ever had at once was a SPEAR BALCS, SOTech Hellcat and some other odds and ends.  You see, I like to buy quality, and I give it the "toolbox" approach - the right tool for the job.  Now that my gear is not only for airsoft, I put more though into it.  Gear failure sucks, especially if your life depends on it!  Buy quality gear and you will:
a) learn to appreciate it's quality when you use it.
b)  support gear manufacturers that don't suck.
c) never have to worry about it failing.
d) have no problem making your money back should you decide to sell it.  After all, the best way to learn about a rig is to buy one!  Ask busta.  Modular body armor may be cool, but isn't always practical in every situation.  I assume that's why he sold his G&P FSBE AAV replica.

About me being rich. . . naw!  I have to sell something in order to buy new.  That's where the quality issue comes into play, I always make my money back so I can put it towards my next rig! 8)

Post by: busta_cap on March 18, 2005, 01:05:54 AM
I got rid of that body armor because, it was ARMOR! It didn't flex well at all and I have a hard time getting around in it, no biggie, got rid of it and only lost about 20 bucks. The weesatch I have now fits me good and is very comfortable even when weighted down alot.

I picked up Ron's hellcat a few months ago and thought he had lead in there at first! The damn thing must have wieghed atleast 25 lbs without a hydro source.

Post by: studdermonkey on March 18, 2005, 01:12:09 AM
I think I have too much gear for one wear. My bianchi holster is a belt holster, and no room for it on the webbing... obviously. And, on my right side, I have the SSE. So, I need the dropleg converter ( http://www.copsplus.com/prodnum2206.php (http://www.copsplus.com/prodnum2206.php) ). This means.. MORE GEAR! Damn! And I just put most (not the hydro, or dropleg mag holder on) of my gear on.. pretty heavy. Not like 25lbs, but it's got to have a good weight to it. I'll need to practice.

Seriously.. anyone up for another hike? :-D

He's since added some Paraclete pouches, as I recall.  I know because they used to be mine, along with the 'cat.  

I humped that rig for 2 days up and down the hills of Tehachepi without problem.  Heavy, but a rock solid setup!  Sure the straps are unpadded, but the are 2-inch "seatbelt" webbing, quite comfy!

Post by: studdermonkey on March 18, 2005, 01:53:40 PM
So.. does everyone know that strap behind the vest? I believe you have one, AZSarge.. the one that goes around your back on the bottom of the vest. I'm finding out I'm too skinny for mine. It's all the way adjusted, and the thing still wobbles like crazy.. theres like.. 2 inches I need to take off. Is there a way I could get another strap, prefferably OD.. that's adjustable?

Post by: busta_cap on March 18, 2005, 02:08:56 PM
Nate, cut it and sew it back together, or have someone do it for you. I know Nate(phx) did something like that with his weesatch, hes smaller than you!

Damn you guys need to put on some wieght! Alright here is what you do...

1. Get a soldering iron and cut the rear strap in the middle, it will cauterize as you cut so no fraying

2. Grab a big ass needle and some poly thread and go to work, gap as much as you have to, or you could always go buy some more webbing.

The new production of hellcats, like what I have(got it in August) don't use the seatbelt material anymore, it is just 2inch Cordura, not as comfortable but still not bad, just takes some getting used to:)

Also studdermonkey,
I have the same problem, as do many people that wear the hellcat, since it is made to be worn over a plate carrier.
I just adjusted mine all the way tight, then overlapped the buckle and remaining strap and wrapped it in 100mph tape.  Ghetto, but it gets the job done.

Ok, but you have to admit that at one point you had a RAV, two MAVs (one Tan, one OD, both identically loaded out with Paraclete pouches), a Lightfighter RAID and some other goodies.  Quite a collection!

Besides, the fact that you own a REAL MS2000 qualifies you as a gearwhore. :P

Shut it. This here is 120-125 lbs of pure muscle! And are you saying cut through the webbing, and all? Cause, that'd suck. And I'd need someone else to do the sewing for me. I'm not a sewing person.. at all :-D

Just cinch it up as tight as they will get and tape the excess with some 100 MPH tape.  That's as high speed as it gets!  In addition, if you ever want to sell it, you won't have to worry about those mods you did to it.

I'd suggest getting some woodland BDUs and maybe some nice kneepads.

The woodlands and Alta kneepads are already on my list(pre lc4 list that is). Hey for anyone who knows Alta kneepads, is the Altalok buckle system the best of the three?, besides velcro and pull thru?

EDIT: Those are my "Little vietnamese kiddie made gloves". I can't wear the ESS NVG's in most applications because they seem to fog alot with me(my eyes sweat alot)but they are perfect for CQB or when a complete seal is needed. The Romer II's are actually allowed at LC this year because they do not have any openings for BB's to get in.  8)

Now if only the little american sweatshop workers would get my BL stuff done I would be much happier. Expecting the rest of my kit in "4-6 weeks". :cry:

I prefer the Altalok buckles over the velcro.  Quicker don and doff, and easy to adjust on-the-move.  

Try removing the foam from around the vents on those ESS specs.  It helped with me, and alot of guys have done the same with good results.  Expect to lose any dust filtration, you know for all those hooah Air Assault raids you do! ;)  About the Wileys, John Lu never took into consideration the "open-frame" (read, breakable) design of the Romer IIs.  I'd plan on some other form of protection for 2 reasons:
1.  You are a minor, and he might require full-seal goggles for you youngins.
2.  If this has happened twice to CAG D, I'm sure it has happened to others, and if John get's wind he might not allow them for play at LC.  LT Jordan used them last year, as I recall, so the decision might piss some people off, but it would be for the best.  Then again, it's YOUR eyesight...
Title:

1. I already did that with my NVG's and they still fog.
2. LT jordan plans on using them again this year
3. John lu already gave me permission to use ballistic eyewear as long as it surrounds the eye.

Post by: azsarge on March 19, 2005, 01:39:30 AM
4. BUT, Neither of them are aware of these defeciencies as far as I know.  They might think twice if/when they find out.  (Hopefully it isn't when their vision is at stake!)

PS, "surrounds the eye" is very vague.  In the past, a complete seal must be made to permit it's use by minors.  A goggle, pretty much.  Some events went as far as to require a full-face mask for minors.  

Wear them or not, it's your choice.

Well, the thing is, if you get a breakage in the field, and you have to switch out, that means you have to take them off. If one of those refs sees it, you might be in a bit of trouble. I just wouldn't risk it...not worth the trouble.

I have the BattleLab one, not the TT. Major real differences just being the DETLOC and Nattick snaps vs Malice clips, I'd imagine only the DETLOC makes a difference.

BUT Matt, I'll bring one of my shingles tomorrow...No room on my rig for it right now.


I just got a triple 9mm BLCS pistol pouch via fedex, I am very impressed, although the DETLOC is a VERY tight fit around my para mags.

I have a pair of pants I got from a Danish soldier in '97 that look just like that. Is that one pixelated? If not it is either not that new, or VERY similare to what they have been using since the mid-90s. If it is the same, it is just the same as the german flektar but with different colors. (Danes are quick to point out they were using flektar BEFORE the germans) If it is flektar, there is a version in 2 or 3 color (I can't remeber which) for use in the desert which is fairly new.

Looks good Greg, I will probably end up leaving the outer inner mag pouches on my satch empty too. Do you think you could do a favor and measure the length of those shoulder straps? I know they MUST be longer due to having the triglides.

Go with the BLCS line of pouches, you won't be dissapointed.

Do you think you could do a favor and measure the length of those shoulder straps? I know they MUST be longer due to having the triglides.


I don't wanna get them out because they are nicely packed away right now. But if you cinch the rear plate carrier up so that the shoulder pads touch both plate carriers, and let the rest of the shoulder straps hang down the back, there will be about 6 inches hanging past the bottom of the rear plate carrier.

I spoke with Gene at High Speed about this.  He said the straps that are shipping with the new version are longer..but since he was on the other line he didn't know off the top of his head how much longer.  

I am guessing, without knowing how big Greg is, that the straps are about 8" longer than originally.  HSG will be making up new straps to sell as add-ons within the next several weeks.

Well, everyone heard me bragging about what I got from CopsPlus for my Bianchi M12.. which, is a dropleg extention and a quicksnap feature. The quicksnap is soooo cool! I can grab that thing outta hte holster as if it was just suspended in air! And the dropleg, besides lookin a bit goofy at the top, is just plain cool. It's so secure.. secure to the fat around my leg that wobbles when I run, so the thing wobbles as well.. besides that.. the thing is perfect!  :twisted:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/ ... ropleg.bmp (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/irishman0556/Gear/dropleg.bmp)
Theres the quicksnap on the P.14. Ignore my sock, damnit.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/ ... opleg2.bmp (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/irishman0556/Gear/dropleg2.bmp)
Theres the whole dropleg with the crappy photo. It was a dark room  :cry:  
Anyways, I love this damn thing. All together, holster included, runs about $100. So worth it! I just hope it fits the glock fine, because if not.. that will just suck.

Dunno why it wont display the images, so screw it. Click the links!

Post by: busta_cap on March 29, 2005, 05:40:56 PM
Holy sh|t where is a camera when you need one! One thing I have to bitch about with the satches are the back plate carrier being uber long. So when you got plates in it, the rear strap is still lower than the plates....But it helps because no hydro carrier will extend below it, although they could have added more webbing, tell Gene that next time you speak with him Tim!

BattleLab Sensitive Site Exploitation Bag.  Same as RollyPolly mid-size, but made of non-shellac-coated Cordura (the MAX RP seems so goddam stiff!), has bult-in PALS attachment (rather than MALICE clips) and sans ghey MAXPEDITION tag on the front.  Cheaper by a few bucks as well.  I like mine better than the MAX version, even though it came after the original.  They also omitted the slik-clip, which serves little-to-no purpose, IMO.

Maxpedition gear really leaves alot to be desired.  It will last forever, but that just means you will have some strangely-designed civvie gear even longer than you wanted it! :lol:

I like my RP although I don't think I'd get anything else made by Maxped.
Title:
Post by: TimW on March 30, 2005, 01:34:28 AM
The slick clips is so that you can attach it to a vertical piece of webbing, such as a pair of suspenders, or the bottom portion of the shoulder strap of a Camelbak Thermobak or such.

I own and use a fair amount of Maxpedition gear, surprisingly.  I started carrying it because folks wanted it.  I now use the Fatboy as my daily "possibles" bag (and to sometime carry my gun if I am being a bit more discreet).  I recently pulled a Falcon out of inventory to evaluate for a while and, so far, it's not bad.

It's not designed as military gear...it's "civilian" gear that's been beefed up.  Though you guys might not like it, I've sold a LOT of it to guys that are currently deployed, especially PMCs. Top sellers are Rollypolly, Baby Condor, Proteus, M4, M2 and large radio pouches.

I recently sold 15 Fatboy packs to the military office of a foreign government.  For what it's designed for, it does it very well.

But, of course, I am biased.
Title:
Post by: azsarge on March 30, 2005, 01:47:34 PM
I understand, Tim.  I just think there are better pieces of kit, that can do the job better.  Between the SDS tac bag, 5.11 accessories, Battle Lab E/E bag, and a few other discreet items, I don't see the need for the MAX gear.  

I understand the draw of using gear "inspired" by ,ilitary gear, but why not just use the stuff like that that's made by the big gear makers?  Most of the more popular makers have items that can be caried for everyday use, so I don't see the need.

Then again, I suppose it's exhilarating for Joe Civilian to carry around his Glock 17 with 10 mags and not have anyone else know about it.  But to me, I just don't see the need for a Man-Purse.

Ok, I just got my new AK mag pouches in from Tim W (Practical Tactical). These things are simply badass. You can have a Fastex, and/or velcro.. theres a piece of velcro that can fold over the other piece, so it doesn't catch on the flap if closed.. making them only fastex. Or, simply adjust the fastex to where it's all the way tight.. and it's only velcro. The only thing I don't like is the color.. it's the same material (or so it looks) as the Bianchi M12.. it's OD for sure, but a bit shiny. Still works perfect.. Thanks for the reccomendation, Tim!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/ ... setup2.bmp (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/irishman0556/Gear/Aksetup2.bmp)

On the rig now:
STRIKE 2x pistol mag pouch (soon to be changed to some 4x pistol mag pouch)
STRIKE Large GP pouch (small for standard games)
STRIKE Small radio pouch
BattleLab 2x SR25 mag pouch (will hold my two AK hicaps for LC4)
BattleLab SSE pouch
HSG 2 4x AK mag pouchwes (or 6x m16 mags!)

That's what I will wear to LC4, I'm sure of.. for standard games, I'll ditch the SR mag pouch, maybe, and use the tiny GP from BattleLab.

Funny angle on the pic though; it looks like that rear plate carrier is 3 times the size of the Harness.  What's with these "adapter straps" you speak of?  The rear carrier should just connect to the main harness.
Title:
Post by: gixser13 on April 08, 2005, 08:43:34 PM
In a perfect word they would, But unknown to me till yesterday I found out it wont.



STRIKE Adapter Kit

The adapter is necessary to attach the 37CL41 STRIKE Plate Carrier Back to either our 37CL01 STRIKE Recon Chest Harness or to our 55CO00 Commando Chest Harness. One-inch side attaches to the shoulders of the plate carrier back, and the 1.5-in side attaches to the buckles on top of the chest harness. Kit has color matching buckles and is adjustable for length.
Wt: 0.25 lbs(http://www.blackhawkindustries.com/uploads/product_images/37CL64-ALL_1.jpg)

Only 50% of the gear Is BHT. Also pictured is 2 HSGI Dropleg subloads,
my maxi(lol) CSM dump pouch and a couple of battlelab pouches

Post by: azsarge on April 08, 2005, 08:52:23 PM

But why not just swap the female fastex buckles with 1-inch buckles?  Then again, for 7 bucks I think you made the right choice.

I have no idea what the M12 holster is made of, but Gene at High Speed uses only 100% corn-fed, free-range, cage-free Cordura in the production of this material.

As for it being shiny, well, get off your ass and go get it dirty. :)

Thanks :?:
Title:
Post by: TimW on April 14, 2005, 09:06:08 PM
Gixser, not sure what you meant.  BHI screwed up the mating of those two items from the outset.  They actually had, at one point about a year ago, the setup that didn't need adaptors for the waist belt.  The only thing necessary was some adaptors for the shoulder straps, but those came with the rear carrier.

I am at a class all day tomorrow, so I won't see any replies until the weekend.

Here's some more stuff I got since my last post-

TAG pistol mag pouches

TAG attachment system
(http://www.angeltowns2.net//cnsc1rtr/satch/satch-Images/5.jpg)

TAG upright utility pouch (large gp)
(http://www.angeltowns2.net//cnsc1rtr/satch/satch-Images/11.jpg)

Current setup- 2 pistol mags, gp, id panel, moved rollypoly (it's going on my 1st line, though)
(http://www.angeltowns2.net//cnsc1rtr/satch/satch-Images/persec6.jpg)

Back view- SDS Sandler hydration carrier with another id panel. It holds a 100oz bladder, has lots of pals space.
(http://www.angeltowns2.net//cnsc1rtr/satch/satch-Images/7.jpg)

The SDS hydration carrier can be worn normally or the shoulder straps can be woven onto pals webbing. This thing also only costs $20. The material is sorta similar to what they use on the I-RACK.
(http://www.angeltowns2.net//cnsc1rtr/satch/satch-Images/13.jpg)

I got a mini rollypoly that I'm putting on my wasatch's backstrap. It folds up to be totally unnoticeable, but can be unfolded to hold a Nalgene bottle.
(http://www.angeltowns2.net//cnsc1rtr/satch/satch-Images/8.jpg)
(http://www.angeltowns2.net//cnsc1rtr/satch/satch-Images/10.jpg)

The bib sucks to have up when the *satch is being used as a chest rig, so here's what it looks like when it's folded down.

It might be ok if it's being used w/o anything in the plate pocket. It's just a bit tight to squeeze your head through. Not a problem once it's on, though.

I saw Marks kit at the Florence game, and it is very nicely made.  I was surprised at how "clean" it was.  Top Notch stitching, name-brand materials, well-though out design, it's just nice all around.

You are really getting good at making this sh*t, Mark!  With this design, you basically took the best features of an LBV88, SPEAR ELCS, and a 2-piece MAV and combined them into one kickass patrol setup.  

I bet my CSM wouldn't even notice that thing ISN'T issue!

Post by: stoneaglewolf on May 18, 2005, 11:04:59 PM
I made that one 100% from scratch. To be honest I never even looked at any other designs for this one. I only used my old issue LBV and just layed out everything I wanted to be able to do with it curtesy of you guys who posted as to what they wanted in their gear.

Although I haven't produced everything yet, but the design also allows for the addition of plate carriers, and a modular collar system that will offer a floatation system, or a releaseable system.

As a side note I'm also designing a modular pouch that contains a 2.4ghz video receiver and 7" Flat Monitor with a padded PALS pouch which will receive video signal from the rifle of a scout up to 500 ft away. I am working on boosting it more but it might be fun for airsoft.  If I get it working maybe I'll let Mikey play with it.

And...the funny thing is, you could have gotten the same stuff(better) for less money....Ever heard of the BLCS line?

I know...it took a bit of adjusting to get it just right  ;)

I did check out the BLCS line, and the stuff came out to be about the same price, actually. The stuff looks like it'll work fine for airsoft, and a friend's cousin used one as a sniper in Iraq, and it worked for him just fine.

Is the BLCS stuff only sold at Diamondback tactical?

Yeah, BATTLELAB is DBT's brand. BLCS gear will actually take more of a beating than BHI shit, and keep on going, alot of guys are "switching" over so I have been hearing. Besides, nytaneon feels like it got washed in super glue. Nice kit though..

Yeah, I have changed over to a hellcat, and Ive liked it so far.  I have yet to run it through actual range work (or game time) due to my current lack of an AR15 or Airsoft gun...

I like it alot so far.  Extremely simple, nothing that I dont need and everything that I do.  Just trying to figure out a hydration set up that will work like I want it too. Rick

Hmm.. what you gonna put on there? 9 mags (3x3), hydra, and what else do you have room for? I imagine radio pouch, and etc..

And it looks like you need something, like cardboard to fill it up with.. or am I wrong?
Title:
Post by: Long Trang on June 21, 2005, 07:53:55 AM
At most i have room for a triple pistol mag pouch up top or just leave it and put a patch over the velcro.  I could put a radio pouch on the back of the hydro, but i probably wont sincei never use one.  I already made some mock  sapi plates out of cardboard to help stabalize everything.  When my sister gets back home with her camera ill get some pics of everything.

Nice kit, Marine!

That WILL look great with your MCCUUs, since CB is what all your USMC bros are wearing.

I have some 1 inch open cell foam that I used in my FAPC that you are more than welcome to.  Drop me a PM if you want some.  It's a bit more comfy than cardboard and offers the same support for the outside of the kit.

Chill I no longer play. But I still use it to shoot the dogs that hopped the wall. Been biten many times defending my livestock. Its not the greatest thing but with marbles inside, it works like a charm. I really dont care what ya think about the other Pbers, I didnt buy a 20in barrel and sit back during games. So chill out I had them now they are being sold. I learned some where, I played under my friend's fathers command, umm you really dont want to piss a ret. medic off. So safety was a big factor in our games. One screw up, they hog tie you and use your own weapon on you. If to say damn that hurt, know wonder thats how pissed they got.

I have too much stuff, which team B.O.S. has the other half. Unknown count of aegs/handguns.

Solved the problem of being Tac Vest less.  I picked up an Infinity Tactical vest from the JT, it came with a 3 AA bat LED flashlight(brite as hell) and a Tactical 440 Stainless Knife..about 10" long.  that all cost me 44 bucks!  Helluva deal!!  The vest is fully adjustable(I am a big guy) and connects to my Tactical web belt, and Infinity tactical thigh pad leg drop holster.   Go by and see the tac vest at JT if you need one..it sells itself!.  Will post pics soon.

Nate, what you need to do is go over there and tell everyone you are a teenage airsofter.

THEN, show them your gear you have created.

That will be sure to notch up another non-assclown airsofter on the boards.  The opinion of airsoft is getting better over there, but if you show up with some high-speed homemades, it will go over a bit easier.

Post by: studdermonkey on July 01, 2005, 07:32:31 PM
Ehrm.. sorry..  :oops:

Anyways, I got a new sewing machine a few hours ago, and wanted to test it on something new..

This fucker should take TONS of abuse.

Modular Subload

(http://img124.echo.cx/img124/8532/mods32kt.th.jpg) (http://img124.echo.cx/my.php?image=mods32kt.jpg)
I just threw some random modular crud on there. This would be one hell of a heavy subload!

(http://img124.echo.cx/img124/9238/mods22gd.th.jpg) (http://img124.echo.cx/my.php?image=mods22gd.jpg)
Just the back of it. No true biggie.

(http://img124.echo.cx/img124/103/mods10hy.th.jpg) (http://img124.echo.cx/my.php?image=mods10hy.jpg)

It's got a built in pretty deap pocket, which truly is pointless.. seeing as how, having a heavy enough subload.. you need to keep the thing tight against your leg, making no room for anything in that pocket.

I've decided my gear looks cool when the webbing is two-toned with 2 inch Coyote Brown(ish), and 1 inch Olive.

This isn't all that great, but it was just a quick test for the sewing machine. Which, isn't industrial but it's got a strong optional walking-foot deal, and TONS of options (that I'll never use).

And I know you guys love my shitty cellphone pictures! It was either a nice digital camera, some Coyote Brown material, or the sewing machine.. The cameras last on my list. Having the stuff is better than taking pictures.. of.. what I wouldn't be able to have.

You started sewing what, like a few weeks ago?  Now you are churning out HSLD MultiCam gear like nobodies biznass.  I AM impressed.

Keep up the good work, and try to learn from everything you sew.  That way, if it sucks, it wasn't a total waste.

And remember this about you "mistakes". . .there's always ebay!  (MC gear is HOT HOT HOT!)

Title:
Post by: studdermonkey on July 02, 2005, 12:21:39 PM
Well, my machine isn't industrial. So, I can't take as thick as I want. I use Poleyester. I was using something else, but that sorta.. crapped out easily. Ask Ben about that one ;-).

And, I use a tan thread for one side, and an OD-ish thread for the other side. It looks pretty cool, and both blend pretty well. Since it's not as strong as I want, I usualy make the stitching length pretty low, and do a Zig-Zag stitch wherever needed. But, it'll be way better.. since the machine I have now can go through 10-12 layers of cordura without hesitation and has a hefty walking foot.. it'll be way easier.

Plus, it's quiet. So, I can stay up to 2-4.. a thing I couldn't do with my old machine!

In fact there are many differences between his and DBT's.


But I do like his placement of the Fastex buckles over DBT's placement.

The reason I think it looks like a Low Vis rack is becuase of the size. This is quite a bit smaller looking than a hellcat. The mags don't seem to go in as deep, and it isn't as long(in the picture, the Hellcat would almost wrap around nate, becuase it does to me, and we are roughly the same size.

Sweet set up man.  I wish I had the skills (or at least the time to develop them) so that I could tailor stuff to my needs! Im stuck w/ a hellcat that almost touches in the rear and has 3 feet of extra webbing (they really made this thing to fit EVERYONE) hanging off the back.

Very cool, Nate!

I had a Hellcat for quite some time, and currently own a LV RACK.  This is like neither one of them.

Nate, how many passes do you make when stitching down that PALS?  I don't know if your machine is cabable of Bar-Tacking or cross-stitching the webbing, but if not you should make at least 5 passes for it to have decent stength.

About the buckles, have you sought out coyote hardware?  Supply Captain has some 1.5 inch in Coyote and FG 504, and I'm sure you can acquire some larger sizes.  Colored hardware will give it a nice touch!

Thanks for the compliment. I gotta wear it next game!

Before I make the next one, it'll have CB hardware, and etc.

And, on the webbing.. what I do, is I do a stretch stitch (which is like ---, but 3 times over itself) and a Z stitch, as close as I can get on every part that needs it. It'll hold pretty well.. it has, on everything so far. And if it can't take my abuse (yanking items off of them, instead of doing it patiently) then I don't know what can. Hell, the Wasatch has webbing that's starting to become iffy.. but the webbing on the back of my pouches are fine, so far.  If you don't think it'll work, give me other ideas.

Post by: TimW on July 24, 2005, 11:40:13 PM
PALS webbing really doesn't mean any more than 3 or 4 passes, depending on how well you know how to set up your machine and what weight thread one is using.

When all I had was a Singer 500 (1950s vintage home machine), I used a simple zig-zag stitch for my Frankensling, and used 3 passes with straight stitching using #69 thread for PALS webbing and never had anything fail.

The number of passes increases strength, up to a point....after which the laws of diminishing returns come into play, since you are perforating the material a lot more, but perhaps not making it any stronger.

No, I don't know what that limit is.  I am still working my way through the Parachute Rigger's Manual, v.1, that I got from Paragear.  More info on sewing than I ever thought possible.

Oh how much i love DBT and there customer service.  I was having a pretty crappy day so i thought id treat myself to a new pack and while i was at it i traded my Oakleys for a smaller pair and got a larger plate carrier since the other one was to small.

Gotta love the GSA pricing too, saved a good amount of money.  8)

Yep, it's a good pack.

I had one for awhile, but ditched it because I didn't like the straps or the fact it's a top-loader.

Regardless, it's well-built and has more than enough PALS for a top loading pack.  It will serve you well!

Now I'm absolutely in love with my Eagle RAID :)

Sure, it's possible.

But the reason they do it is because it's so God damn comfortable that you keep adding more and more pouches to it.

2x Pistol Mag Pouch
CSM Dumper, with bad pattern!
Eagle Plate Carrier, small
ESSTac GP, small

I got some legit kit.

I have some items I sold that haven't shipped out yet, including a FAPC, with IIIa armor cummerbund, and a neat pouch layout with chest-mounted 6004.

Probably the most rare item I have is a Dynamic Designs Light Threat platform.  Rare because I don't know of many guys who would spend 200 bucks on what ammounts to a very lightweight MAV with X-Harness.  Of course, I got it for free. . . :P

Now, in a few more days, I'll have the sexiest gat in the state of AZ!  Any guesses?

I was thinking of getting their mod or high risk plate carriers, to play with. But, they're expensive. Don't get me wrong, for a damn good reason they're expensive, but it's still money that could be used on something else instead of a rig that's not multicam.

I think everyone should post pictures of their modular gear, just because I like looking at gear! Seen or unseen!

I was thinking of getting their mod or high risk plate carriers, to play with. But, they're expensive. Don't get me wrong, for a damn good reason they're expensive, but it's still money that could be used on something else instead of a rig that's not multicam.

I think everyone should post pictures of their modular gear, just because I like looking at gear! Seen or unseen!

I'm elite!


Dynamic Designs gear is unlike any I've ever seen.  

Is the LT rig worth $200 to me?  Hell nah!  Then again, they did not custom design and produce for me from the ground up like the did for the original "customer".

Although, it IS custom fit to my body. 8)

I did not recieve the LT for use in airsoft, but rather my daily work.  As soon as I can get some pics taken, expect a review on LF.

How do you like that AAV replica, gdaqb?  Is that a coolmax lining or just black cordura?

One thing I like about the Guarder replica over the G&P is the fact that it has the attachment point for the collar armor.

G&P has had a replica AAV out for 3 years, dude. :roll:

Post by: gdaqb on October 10, 2005, 08:38:45 PM
AzSarge: Ummm i have no clue about the coolmax or cordura. But I do rather like this, at first when I put it on I found it to be rather warm and retained a lot of heat as War Savage said earlier. But I found after wearing it for a while it distributes weight so well and supports itself, I almost forgot I was wearing it. In all its a very comfortable vest, and another reason to get Guarder over G&P is the stichting is much higher quality. I read around before buying this and many people said after a year their stichting was falling apart.

Gantaliano: airsoft extreme has them here in the states, thats where I ordered from and the vest came to around $101 shipped.

Whatever gear you have, nothing beats the new fad - Eagle Plate Carrier! AND GUESS WHO STARTED THAT ONEZ!

Mine on the left, Daves on the right.

Hot stuff!

If so, I think I may have to buy into the fad.

I got my Eagle PC right after Nate, and it is one of the most comfortable rigs I have owned.  I forget it is on most of the time, not sagging down into my hipps, or tugging on my neck.  Tightens perfect to my skinny ass, no swimming like with most other rigs.
Nate, I will post pics here soon, to keep you from going crazy...even though you have seen it many times.

Here's a homemade sling I put together a while ago...I used olive drab tubular webbing (load-bearing stuff, made for climbing and very comfortable) and hardware painted OD (buckles were foilage green before). It attaches to the stock by simply using a girth hitch, so it'll go on to most stocks and will not slide around. The sling quickly allows the use of weak-hand shooting as well. The buckle is there so you can easily remove or attach the gun without removing the whole sling. Total cost = about $5

I had the G&P one for a couple years a never had a problem with it.  In fact, it was better made then some of the "real" gear I have used.  However, I suppose they could have QA problems and I just got lucky.

To me it looks more like the Specter Gear Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT) Sling, but with the Frankensling attachment pigtail.  Both of which are good designs.

The G&P AAV that CAG D had did not have webbing attachment points inside.  It also used woodland cordura rather than black, and all webbing was OD.

It was built very well and used good materials.

edit:  I stand corrected regarding the attachment points inside.  I just looked at some old photos, and they are there on CAG D's AAV.

Question, which is closer to the real deal: the G&P or the Guarder copy of the FSBE? I know Guarder puts out an interceptor copy while G&P does not so there is no question there. There is a price difference of about $20, and I need both to make some patterns, just wondering which to go with.

Nice job on the sling....always the low hanging fruit on the stitch-bitch tree. :)

As for the Eagle plate carrier, I have them in stock...right now, 2 in khaki and 1 in OD.  On my website under protective equipment or modular vests.  I throw in free shipping if you mention you're an AA member.

It's just do damn ugly!

Hector, 2 more days baby!  

That hotness shall reign supreme,
Upon any who dare challenge my team,
It shall fight with a vengeance whilst in the Green,
As it will while amongst the sand,
For together,
We will fear no man,
Whenever it's brought they will stand in awe,
And marvel at the deadliness of MY SAW!

After this weekend, the fields of AA shall never be the same. . .

COUGH COUGH COUGH DAVE.....OH COUGH COUGH!!!  :lol: Not saying I cant afford it, just that I would rather put that money towards my guns. Anyone who has met me knows the quailty I put in my guns.

I didn't buy yours. For just about the same price, I'd be able to get one from DBT with the fresh Curdrua smell! Which, I DID!

But yeah, R.A.I.D. is the way to go for an all around pack.  Never used it for airsofting, or school books, but it worked great for everything else!

Believe me, you don't want a chick that likes that kind of stuff. ;)

About the Coyote Tactical upgR.A.I.D., it's a MUST.  The framesheet is rigid and comfortable, and the waistbelt is the best design I've seen for a 3 day, although the DBT design comes close.  

The matching hardware is purely cosmetic, but looks very nice.

David, you need to get those CT patches done, and throw one in with ever RAID mod you do so guys can put it on the pack!

Yeah, I know it looks a little goofy (pads were a little off) but I find I can access everything a little easier when it's a little lower. So I added another strap that goes around my upper torso to make it a little tighter, and it works great that way. Besides, I'm like eight feet tall it it looks better.

2.  It is riding a little low.  If there was armor in there, you'd want it up higher.  It's not going to go low enough to cover your junk, so don't bother! :lol:

I just thought I'd post something that I modified a while ago since I'm bored out of my mind. I noticed, on the crye precision web site, the combat pants kneepads were up, all the way, right next to the pockets. Not two inches lower. On MM, and on all the A-line setups I've seen, they're 2 inches lower. And, for me.. I needed to pull the webbing (adjustment) on the combat pants up, two inches, for the kneepads to sit correctly. But, when I do that, the bottom of the pants would rise too much and look a bit goofy. And, I hate doing that. So, I modified my pants!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/irishman0556/Gear/DSCF0227.jpg)

I also adjusted the elastic, to where it sits exactly behind the knee. Reason being,if I crouched or ran fast when it was made by crye, to wrap around the muscle, it would rise to sit behind my knee, and the pants would ride way too high. I still need to work on it though, it rubs the skin too much. It's tough bein skinny.. nothing ever fits.

What did you do to modify them? did you remove them and resew them higher? I hear you about having nothing that fits...
Title:
Post by: studdermonkey on October 30, 2005, 05:53:53 PM
I removed them, moved them higher, and to the inside a bit more.

And yeah, you having the same measurements as me probly have the same problem.

The one thing I learned from black gear was, it makes you really easy to spot while you're running around. It's good for SWAT stuff, but not for forest or desert action. But don't go spending a ton of money on gear before you know what works for you.

Actually, it's not. Most of the more forward-thinking swat teams are wearing either plain OD or some sort of camo. Black is just around because of tradition.

A partial fix for SWAT black gear if you're cash poor at the moment..

Get some Krylon camo paint at Walmart. -Make sure it's the "Dries in 12 minutes or less" lacquer kind.

Get some tan, green in the "Camo" and a can of either flat white or tan..

Hang the BDU's and gear on a clothesline. Using the lightest color first,  spray in some spots, lines, ..anything to break up the pattern. Use the white/tan and then spray over that with the darker stuff. A little white showing isn't bad, but it's mainly used as an undercoat to the other paint.


Don't be stingy with the paint. You want it to get in the fabric otherwise it'll wash out in a few launderings.  let the whole thing dry in the sun for a few days. You want all the paint fumes to air out.

Go play. enjoy. The main problem with black gear is it stands out. Even at night, it's darker than shadows. In the desert in daytime, adding a slightly lighter breakup pattern will work well when you're behind cover in brush or near trees.

Don't spend a lot on clothing. If you play hard, it'll just get torn up anyway. Look for cheap BDU deals on used stuff. AZ Sarge posts it for sale once in awhile.

I moved some shit.  Don't be A-holes.

Now, back to the gear discussion. . .

If anyone needs some gear, let me know.  I have some stuff I can get rid of and I'll sell it cheaper than anyone else if you need it.  I got all kinds of stuff so the best thing to do is let me know what weapon system you have and we'll go from there.

I don't have anything black except for boots.  All my shit now is shades of green.  Smoke Green, Ranger Green, Sage Green, Olive Drab, Woodland, And some ACUs.

I have everything from ChiCom rigs to a Paraclete RAV, so let me know if you have questions about gear or want to buy something.

Between Raith, Airsofter1, and myself, it's pretty safe to say that we've had just about every type of high-end gear there is.  Ganef can also make you something custom, but it will cost you!

Ok, so I go to David's with a rig in mind for my buddy.  He just bought an AR and hates carrying his 6 mags in his pockets.  His birthday is coming up, so I figure what could be a better gift than some CT goodness?  

David and I talk for a bit and I describe what I need.  He shares his plans of execution, and I get a pretty good idea of where it's going and what the final product will look like in my head.

Then, I see these pics today and am pleasantly surprised once again by the professionalism of his work.

Most of that map pouch project was like I said an example of the capabilites of using vinil. I have a lot of ideas on the doc, just waiting for some materials to roll in to get them rollin out...

I have a similar hydration pack Matt.  Where did you get yours?

Here is a set up of mine.  It is a veritable rainbow of green as it is brands of nylon gear.  My hydro pack is hard to see as it is buried underneath several other pouches.  I also dusted the carrier with some krylon khaki and OD to subdue its green color some.  Also take note of my clean carpet.

I think that anyone who needs a 3 day pack should get a RAID.  It's the best all-around military pack.

No. LF took (or takes) some MC orders. I ordered a multicam one a while ago. Not sure which one this is from, seeing as how I only screwed around with it for the pictures. But, if anyone wants my LF MC order, tell me within two or so months, or I'll just cancel.

Here's a sling David and I made.

It goes across both shoulders and attaches to the rear of your rig.  Its completely adjustable and ambidextrous.

(http://members.cox.net/raith/sling01.jpg)

It has a disconnect with a fastex buckle that floats on the sling and automatically centers itself when there is weight on it.

(http://members.cox.net/raith/sling02.jpg)

It attaches on to the back with long MALICE clips and has webbing on the front that you can place pouches over.  The adjustment is on the right side in the back.

(http://members.cox.net/raith/sling03.jpg)

The disconnect attaches to the weapon with a QD sling swivel, but could be made with whatever type of attachment is necessary.

(http://members.cox.net/raith/sling04.jpg)

I like it quite a bit so far.  It seems to distribute the weapon weight over both shoulders equally and since it attaches on the back, it might offset some of the weight of a hydration carrier or whatever you might have on your back.

I suppose this setup might even work attached to a belt, but I suspect it would not be as useful and comfortable as it is on a torso rig.

Post by: TimW on December 07, 2005, 02:10:04 PM
That is a lot like the V-sling I came up with about 1-1.5 years ago, except for the "hooking to the back of the vest" connection...mine used the "D"-rings on the shoulders.

The only thing I might suggest would be to put a S/R buckle up in front to facilitate emergency release.  Though yours is big enough that it shouldn't need it, it might come in handy.  It was a requirement on a front opening vest like the MESA.  Yours wouldn't work on a MESA, SpecOps OverArmor or IBA given the lack of it 'opening up'

I think it would work, Tim, you'd just need to take more care when donning and doffing.  Of course, the weapons must not be attached when doing either.

That looks very nice, David and Matt.
Title:
Post by: TimW on December 07, 2005, 04:01:00 PM
My intent wasn't to be negative with their idea...I like it a lot.  The back attachment they've done distributes the load/weight of the gun much better than mine does, for sure.  My only issue is that, especially with a front opening vest like the MESA, it would be a pain in the ass to put on (IMO) without some sort of "opening" like I did with the V-sling...when I am trying to put on a 25 pound MESA, I don't want to have to 'be careful' donning or doffing.  

What about an emergency where one needs to ditch their vest?  How careful can they / should they have to be?

Just my opinion on an otherwise great looking piece of gear.

Post by: Raith on December 07, 2005, 05:55:33 PM
I had the vest that it is on in the photos in mind when I thought how we should make the sling.  

You' re completely right, Tim, and there are rigs that you could definately not use this sling with, like split front rigs or releasable vests.

As it is right now, you can ditch the weapon two ways - With the fastex buckle or the QD swivel. (Fastex is faster and easier)

I didn't want to put a release near the "front" area because that would mess with the way I set it up to be adjustable.  Again, it was made with the Spartan rig in mind.  Perhaps a fastex buckle could be made to serve as the adjustability (Due to the ladderlock qualities of it) and release point as well.

Food for thought, I suppose.

20 and some change.  It is larger than my VX4400, but I can take legit pictures with it and it was dirt cheap.

I got it from the Verizon Government program.  I also got a calling plan for a price that would make you cry.

It's not for airsoft, dude. You'd hardly ever use a dump pouch other than to collect airsoft mags, I'd think.

DBT.  I think the CSM-style is a better design for a dedicated dump pouch, though.  DBT makes one now, called the "SSE Advanced Bag".  I "might" get one, but I'll probably just have one rolled from CoyoteTac.

Now, enough jibber jabber.  Here's my 2nd Line kit.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/cagdboy/Mk182ndline.jpg)

It's an Eagle Industries MLCS Rhodesian rig, in MJK.  On it, left to right:
-CoyoteTac "Mockingbird" Icom radio pouch, with an Icom F4s
-2x CoyoteTac Frag pouches
-2x MSP M4 mag double doubles
-CoyoteTac "Jumping Cholla" Releaseable Utility pouch (not pictured)

On the straps we have a CRKT M21-04, and a Pryme speaker mic.

The sling is a CoyoteTac design.  It's the same sling pictured on Raith's TAG Spartan kit.  It is the best sling, ever.  EVER!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/cagdboy/Mk182ndline2.jpg)

On the back is the CoyoteTac Hydration carrier specially designed for the Eagle RRV.  It attached with fastex at the top, and wraps around the lower back strap of the chest rig to secure it at the bottom.  

The 2 vertical straps are the ends of the sling.  My commo wires and hydro tube is a mess, but it works and is very comfortable.

The heater is my Mk18 CQB R based on a Classic Army M15A4 C.Q.B.

Not new.  Take it apart, degrease it, sand the washers with fine sandpaper, reassemble with blue loctite and lube it with CLP.

Never had a Big Dog.  I don't like combo-edges and the M21 is one of the few CRKT that don't have one.  It has a deep belly also and can be used for chopping.  I cut the tread off 2 steel-belted radial off-road tires at Pathfinder AO the night that place earned it's name.  

I'm not going to feed you some bullshit about how I went home and it still sliced tomatos, but it was sharp "enough".  I was surprised it held an edge that well for being AUS8.

Greg got a pack a while back, the SDS Tac-Bag. I liked it alot, and I wanted to get it. I was going to get a different color, because the SDS colors aren't as said. Example, Greg got black, which is dark blue. I ordered one in Grey. It came in black. :(

I like the pack alot. I don't have as much use for it as Greg does, other than the fact that I get the pride of having a pack that's meant to have a cooler purpose, in a school where I'm surrounded by Vans and JanSport packs.

I got up this morning, and theres a package on my chair. I was excited. I tore it open, and there it is.. a black SDS Tac Bag. I thought, "Oh, man. Gregs gonna be bummed".

I loaded it up with a few books, it'll hold what I need for school. And, as for the range, well.. it's got 3 double stack m4 mag pouches in it (with ranger plates on real mags, not airsoft, for the record), which the last one, towards the top, won't hold any.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/irishman0556/Gear/DSCF0302.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/irishman0556/Gear/DSCF0303.jpg)

The last image is showing the last mag, pushed all the way in as far as it'll go. The retention for the mags won't work too well, without ranger plates or with. But that's obviously no big deal, since theres a zipper there. This is my only real complaint, which is to saying the pack is good, because I never post anything good about anything at all.

Theres a few things I didn't know about the pack, like the back is lined with something like Kydex, to keep it stiff, then padding (Which is pretty cool padding), and the areas to route the camelback tube throughout the top strap.

I like the pack because it's a single strap, which is what I wanted. I went through a DBT 3 day, Eagle A3, Invader Zim bookbag (I like the show, so what), and a RAID. They've all got good purposes, but this one fits the needs of a senior in highschool and/or freshman in college. And I don't need any of the other packs. Just something cool for 3-4 books.

I rate the pack a 7.5/10, I like it alot.

The Tac Bag is probably the only thing I'd ever buy from SDS besides a helmet.

If their packs were say, HALF of the price they are, I might consider one.

The TAC bag doesn't look like cool guy gear, so it's cool.

They're out there, Tim.

Regardless of what you consider "affordable," some of them just may end up costing as much as a real FAL.

It's one of those rifles that hasn't really become popular yet, and I doubt it will ever become popular like an M4.

Coming from Asia, where the obsession is on SEAL-commando-Delta-sniper-recon-Rangers, the most popular weapons are the M4/M16, MP5, AK types.  "Foreign" battle rifles such as the FAL, and even stuff like the G3 and L85 aren't as popular, although the latter two have been produced in quantity.

I've only seen that one website where the dude took the GBB FAL and turned it into an AEG.

I know that my quest is unlikely to bear fruit, so I'll either settle on an M14 or M4....someday.  Got too much other stuff to buy first.

Post by: Gantaliano Hoff on January 18, 2006, 07:13:41 PM
Speaking of TAG here's my new gear setup. I've used it in a couple games now, but I never got around to putting it up...and I figured it should be put up for public scrutiny.

Ok. I wanted a plate carrier and of course I wanted the Eagle. However as I'm sure a lot of you know, that particular brand is very hard to come by. So until I can get my hands on the eagle, I opted for the TAG Plate Carrier. It works well for me. It's very comfortable and has a lot of room for a lot of stuff, as you can see.

Front
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/Gantaliano_Hoff/Airsoft%20Pics/P1010431.jpg)

Back
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/Gantaliano_Hoff/Airsoft%20Pics/P1010432.jpg)

The colors are a little screwed up, but I'm planning on possible dusting it with some other colors to get rid of the big fat OD.

The pouches on it are:

Front:
-4 Double M4, Tactical Taylor (I would've got battlelab ones but loops on the front made it ideal for carrying CO2 cartridges for my howler launcher)
-Single M4 Pouch (holds my sidearm)
-2 Pistol Mag pouches, Tactical Taylor
-Small utility pouch, Tactical Taylor
-Medium utility pouch, Emdom
-Grenade Pouch, Blackhawk (no comments from the peanut gallery please)

Back:
Hydro Pouch, Company unknown :?
Med Pouch, Tactical Taylor
Radio Pouch, Company unknown...

I suppose you could that the Hydro and Radion pouches are, shall I say...hand-me-downs...

But anyways. There's my kit. Notice I wasn't wearing it for the pic...

Post by: Raith on January 18, 2006, 07:37:18 PM
First off, its Tactical Tailor, not Tactical Taylor.  Tactical Taylor is this eight year old kid who has a M1 liner and thinks he's kitted out for war.  He might be your nephew, he might be the neighbor's kid.  But he thinks he's all that, but he's wrong.

Your two mystery pouches are of Battlelab manufacture.

Post by: Farslayer on January 18, 2006, 07:45:07 PM
Okay...I really don't know a lot about gear, so be patient.

Are the plate carriers basically vests, molle or otherwise, that carry ballistic plates or do they go over other vest that cover plates...
Title:
Post by: azsarge on January 18, 2006, 08:10:37 PM
Benn, a plate carrier is a vest (molle or otherwise) that carries a ballistic plate (like a SAPI).  They are meant to be worn alone, or over a soft panel carrier.

Hoff, I'm all for chest-mounted pistols, but that angle is going to cause alot of problems.  TT makes an adaptor that allows mounting of pouches at 45 degrees.  

Another option is the BattleLab 6004 molle adaptor and a 6004 holster.  I ran one of those all weekend at Irene III with great success.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/cagdboy/chestpistol2.jpg)

Since it was mounted on a rigid platform, there was very little "slop," and it did not interfere with shouldering my rifle.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/cagdboy/chestpistol.jpg)

The idea is to have the pistol readily accessible for a smooth draw.  The way you have it mounted, that's not possible.  Just something to consider.

The only "rig" I have is one from CQB solutions:

(http://www.packrat-toyz.com/images/CQB/CQBOperchescarr.jpg)

I put that on first, then the pack over the straps, buckeling the small fast clip accross my chest.  It worked great.  I also wear an large Blackhawk butt pack attached to a web belt that I keep my ghille hood in.  I have a TT FRS radio pouch that I place either on the back of the pack or the front of the rig.  It all fits comfortably.

I have a couple Eagle Plate Carriers w/cummerbund in stock...small/medium in Khaki.  OD on order.  L/XL in Khaki and OD on order.  Also, have 2 CIRAS Land rigs in stock, Khaki. One Medium, the other Large.

Benn,  thanks for the kind words.  Maxpedition makes some tough gear, though I know some folks don't care for it since it's not Cordura-brand nylon, and the Teflon coating that Maxpedition uses makes their nylon stiff.

The plate suspension is very cool.

I think the lower flap should cover a separate pocket for general use, though.  For a pack this small, the easy access it affords is not very helpful.

Looks good though, and I love the PALS straps and smaller size.  It will work well for airsoft.

Finally, got my vest finished from Coyote Tactical. Used it in yesterdays game (as seen in last pic). Awesome fit and convenience for placement of pouches. Good job David!!

Eagle FSBEII pack, with my modular waist belt that 'kinda' helps with the weight. The pack is the perfect size. The raid and AIII were too big, I thought.

I KNEW, some day, that the loop velcro on the belt would help. Today was the day!

Propper chest rigs worn correctly (not sagging or floppy) I have found to be far superior in cumfort to vests. They also keep things on your chest away from your hips that can cause wear and strain. Chest rigs have an appropriate amount of realestate so that you dont overload yourself with tons of BS that you realy dont need on you.

Think about this: mags are heavy, instead of having a bajillion mags consider the max amount that you have ever needed in a heavy engagement and only cary that many, and instead of the other mags carry a way to reload. I carry 9standards = 612rnds with 3times that in reloading capability, my rig is lighter I can move quicker and I have never run out of ammo.

I completely agree, I have an Eagle Universal chest rig SKD version.  I have room for 8 AR-15 mags, 4 pistol mags, a radio pouch and a nalgene pouch.  



Its nice and simple and it forces you to pack light.

Question for all you LC vet guys, will my rig do for LC or does it not have enough room?

That is a great basic rig, but it has drawbacks. You still need hydration which cant integrate, the rig has a lot of mag space but just dosent have the pals realestate on the side to add a GP that you will be needing.

Well right now I carry 1 nalgene bottle, which has been "ok" for the past few games.  I haven't been dehydrated yet, but I'll probably pic up a plate carrier  or something related eventually, probably from you cause your gear is very nice.

One nalgene wont cut it in the summer. Get a millitary camelback (ambush) and we will work with that. Even plate carriers have their drawbacks, but integrated hydration is realy the way to go. At large events, sometimes comfortability outweighs the "cool" factor. My rig at the last LC event rubbed my hips raw, the one I made for Irene was fantastic.

Just got it in tonight....2 days from HK. I'd ordered a pair of mag pouches and a radio pouch expecting this thing to arrive sans pouch. Surprised the hell outta me when I pulled it out of the box and it was covered in pouches already. The base color is a bit lighter than true desert marpat but I don't care. I added the radio pouch to the back left shoulder. Not sure where I'll place the two mag pouches I bought though. :)  My new gun should be on my doorstep tomorrow.

It looks the same, the top anyway (- obvious lack of camoflouge) but the name tossed me off.  CT MOPP?  Is it the same or similar to the military JSLIST?
If so, I f***in' love it compared to the old MOPP suits they had, though the elastic band over the nuts was a little awkward to secure/remove sometimes.

I actually still have the top and bottom in 3 color desert, I may even have a totally sealed one...Have to dig around.

It's an VLTOR stock.

It's half the weight of the std A2 stock, allows me a couple of sling attachment options, and holds batteries for my lights.

It's not something I would ever buy, but it works ok.  Still too fuckin long, but I'm not going out every day and getting into gunfights, so the best shit goes to the guys that do.

Every other Romeo in the 82nd has a 9 in a shoulder holster, but I like the idea of a 203 for when we go out on a DART mission.

Funny, that I end up getting this, but they can't find a way to get me a light mount or an Aimpoint.  I'm a firm believer in mastering Irons before even being allowed to LOOK at optics, but after 40/40 on both the 300m and 203 ranges, twice, I'd say I qualify. :roll:

In the end, it's more important that I have the tools I need (BDAR kits, SNAP-ON, and a MILTOPE) than the tools I want (M4, ACOG, ANVIS).

The usual Chuckwalla pouch -

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/deathrag01.jpg)

A death rag made of ripstop nylon.  The edges are doubled over and stitched so that they won't unravel.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/deathrag02.jpg)

Its tethered with some paracord so that it can't escape.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/deathrag03.jpg)

It also has a square of velcro to stick to your hat so that it won't fall off or blow off.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/deathrag04.jpg)

I was tired of losing death rags, so I figured I'd get one that I couldn't lose.

This is perhaps the most advanced death rag ever. :P

thats the same size pouch as is on the back of the hydro. i used to wear it on the front of my weesatch just like in pilz's picture. as long as you're not afraid to lay down on whats inside it, it doesn't get in the way when going prone. I also took all the retainers out of my weesatch, the mags stay in place when prone.

Yes that's the benchmade Nimravus. Good piece I can say. The sharpest blade I ever had since my Paul Chen Katana  8)  :D

A few of us got them, but I don't carry a fixed blade other than the ASEK in my DART kit.  It's an Ontario, IIRC.  If you get the chance, pick up one of the Benchmade autos.  One of my top 5 favorite folders.

But, now you're going to have to tell us about those heaters.  :)

If they are both GBBs, where'd you get the fully trademarked slides?

No bro, read the AR670-1 again.  In the section about posers, it says that the SF tab ALWAYS must go below unit-affiliated tabs, such as Airborne tabs.  The only exception is when wearing the Delta Force Recon tab. :lol:

At least he got the Shit-Head patch right...

The Special Forces Tab is always worn above the Ranger Tab

The SF and Ranger tabs are EARNED tabs where the Airborne is NOT.  The Airborne tab is always worn in conjunction with a specific unit patch and the unit TO&E must authorize the unit as being on airborne status EXCEPT for the 101st Airborne Division.... historical reasons and all...

Not everyone with a SF tab will have a Ranger Tab... its not part of the progression in SF....

You don't HAVE to go through jump school to wear an airborne unit patch (there are a few legs in the 82nd.... someone has to cook and do laundry after all....)

Dont wear these tabs if you have not earned them......

I can count on one hand the number of jump-schooled guys I've met from the 82nd.  Those guys that do that laundry, cook the food, and do the paperwork are about 82% of the 82nd.  

Someone told me they're just not sending guys to school for any reason these days.  Even some infantry guys haven't been yet.  It's just the way it is, I guess.

Now, I wear the All American on my right sleeve, but the closest I'll ever get to jumping is walking off a C-17. :lol:

Ian, you wear unit patches to airball games and airball patches to war.  Now I've seen it all.  :lol:

Post by: -MAD- SARGE on July 06, 2007, 03:55:14 PM
Made by Coyote Tactical of course, I thought it was about time I put it up.


(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m168/madsarge1/Gear006.jpg)

(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m168/madsarge1/Gear004.jpg)

I have finally used this rig long enough to warrant a review.

This is an integrated rig for the most part.

Modular Chuckwalla, Dual M4 Mag pouches x 4, Icom pouch, Modular dump bag, admin pouch, and Hydration carrier all in my favorite color, coyote tan. The coyote tan works well when dirty, it almost takes on the color of the local dust/dirt and blends in well.

It is pretty light, no armor to restrict my mobility. I can effectively perform light rock climbing easily, low crawl, slide, roll and can perform just about any task with this rig. It wears comfortably and is fully adjustable, though if your a big guy the shoulder pads may be a too short as it was made for me.

Amenities, chuckwalla is great can hold 6 pistol mags, has a general storage area, two inner slit pockets to hold paper, pencil, ID ect. The zippers are big, easy to operate and very quite. It also has your general quick access map pouch or death rag pouch, however you wish to use it.

Mag pouches are very easy to use due to the retention system and the fact that pouch is not overly tight with mags in. The retention flap comes down about an inch below the Velcro allowing me to easily grab and open the flaps to pull out a mag in almost one motion. The large pull tabs are nice too.  

Dump pouch could be a bit bigger, can hold 5 mags effectively when partially synched up to retain the mags. Though if the bag was any bigger I think it would be too big and would get in my way. If I am down 5 mags anyways, I am not having a good day.

Admin pouch has Velcro across the whole front area, with a Velcro retention system, the two pull tabs on top make it very easy to open. I only place small items or papers in here since it is close to my chest. If the items are too bulky they "poke" through and just bother me whenever I move.

The Hydration carrier is your standard carrier but is integrated. It is covered with Molle for any attachments that I may want to add, with a Velcro area on top for ID.

Overall a great rig for me. I can move in this rig and can carry more stuff than I had in the past. Such as more snacks or a small lunch, note pad, pencil, maps, keys, and more ammo.  I still have to decide if I want to sacrifice lunch for ammo but I know I'll use the ammo and I won't use the lunch. Snacks will do.

Ok thought I'd try to post a real loadout and try to get some feedback on it. I tried it out and it worked great. Still can't do a complete reload with the P90 on the run yet. I plan on using this with my German H-Harness(Utility+Bpack). Utility for spent Mp5 and Utility(molle) for new. There is also a plate inside the front to stop sagging. Everything has a use. All Standards and getting a box of 30rd MP5 lowcaps.

2 P90 Pouches
3 BH Pop Flare-easier than standard P90 pouches
1 Utility
2 Pistol Mag pouches(speed loaders)
1 Hydration Carrier w/o bladder

Yeah, it's a good thing the military doesn't use it or there'd never be any left for airsofters! :lol:

Uchiha, what kind of plate carrier is that?
Title:
Post by: Uchiha Itachi on October 29, 2007, 09:28:17 AM
Its a Condor. There was an Officer in Discover or Times wearing the ACU version of it. I don't remember which.

I don't have any problems with it. It has a wide waist clearance so it doesn't ride or chaff. All the weight is placed on the shoulders.

Do you like all the weight on your shoulders?

It's one thing I hate about my armor.  Loaded with all 4 plates, a basic load of 5.56 and 40mm, IFAK, and other shit gets goddamn uncomfortable strapped into a Chinook for anything over an hour.  Footin' it is a bit better, but still shitty.  I'm talking about my Interceptor, btw.

I've found that rigs with an internal cummerbund that places a good portion of the load on the hips is the most comfortable way to go.  I actually run with my MARCIRAS w/plates for 3-5 miles with a good bit of comfort (on my shoulders, anyway!).  Granted, there's nowhere near as much stuff on it versus the Interceptor, but you get the idea.

I agree, that if the rig doesn't HAVE a cummerbund, then it's more comfortable loose on the sides, but then it's not very stable.

I really don't see why anyone would run an armor carrier without a cummerbund given the choice.
Title:
Post by: Uchiha Itachi on October 29, 2007, 12:36:55 PM
It does have a one. Idk why it doesn't absorb the weight but it isn't a problem. It more or less keeps the carrier from swinging. It may be due to my size the CB doesn't work right or that the CB is primarily attached to one side and to the front by a 3x5 strip of velco. But I don't think It will be a problem seeing it won't be carrying as much gear as you do.

When fully loaded you can see the velcro take nearly all the weight up front(on the shoulders). Which is why I had to put a plate in it to stop the sagging. That with the gun in the back the carrier Vs slightly. Clears the helmet easily enough.

I know it's an Airsoft forum, but I get a chuckle when people post stuff and call it a "real loadout".  :)

Next, why are you sporting an MP-5 and P/PS-90 mags?  Just what are you going to do...buttstroke your opponent?  In real life, sure...but in an airsoft game? :)
Title:
Post by: Uchiha Itachi on October 30, 2007, 10:49:01 PM
Nah its just my backup incase something happens to the P90. I don't like pistols so I don't carry one. Remember I'm not a real soldier nor claim to be, so to me its as close as I'm gonna get. I'd be buying stuff like Tactical Tailor not Condor and whatever the Hydration carrier is.

If it was a sliding stock the MP5 wouldn't be visible, but I don't have one of those. The P90 fits perfectly in there. If its simply to stupid I can always remove it, thats why I asked for criticism.

Post by: Ganef on October 31, 2007, 09:40:05 AM
From experience, keeping your backup on you may seem like a good idea but you may end up lugging it around for nothing.
Trust your primary and leave your seccondary at the FOB or the cars during a game, but leave it ready to go. If you need to switch guns, call yourself out, go back to the cars or FOB and make the change.
Also, it would be wise to have a backup that uses the same mags as your primary, that way you dont have to switch that part of your kit out.
You are on the right track to stay away from pistols, concentrate on your primary. Your mags also seem off centered to the right a bit, are you left handed?

Ambi, thats the reason there is nothing up above a certain point. I tend to go around things to the left so I put the mags on the right. For my backups I tend to use the H-Harness + Stackable G36 style mags. I used the MP5 since it was the 2nd smallest gun I have.

CT does good work.

Get a in-focus-un-obscured-by-bushes picture of your kit  , and explain what you are wearing and why it is sexy to you.

We all have to start somewhere.  

Here is some of my kit that I've set up to suit my needs here.  
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/cagdboy/DSCF0673resize.jpg)

Eagle Industries unless otherwise noted.
MARCIRAS, Khaki
-2x 9mm pouch (carries leatherman and surefire 6P)
-Coyote Tactical Quad 40mm pouch
-2x Double M4 pouch
-Michael Bianco IFAK w/foldout kit, Combat Application Tourniquet, Cinch Tight, 10x10 HemCon
Medium ESapi and IIIa soft armor inserts on the sides (I don't like to run the ESBI APM2 sideplates inside)

RRV, Khaki
-Icom radio pouch
-2x 200rd SAW Drum pouch
-Medium Esapi in the chest
This rig is for the SAW ammo I'm never going to carry, but the pouches hold M16 mags, too.

ESBI Sideplates

Bullets, 203 rounds (2x HE, 1x GRN Marker)

Hydration pack for the RRV

Kifaru Marauder, OD.  I fucking love this pack for 1-2 day trips and general use!  

Oh, and my COMTAC Liberator headset.

The CIRAS is the shit, bottom line.  I'm very fortunate to be able to wear it, because I hear the IOTV isn't all it was cracked up to be.  I also have an IBA, with all the BS but I've been wearing the CIRAS lately and will continue to do so until I come home.  It's not comfortable with the sideplates inside, but it wasn't designed to use the sideplates I have, the way I've used them.  It's much easier to don than one may think considering the side entry.  

I probably will never use the RRV here, like alot of other kit that I was issued.  

Rockin the CIRAS returning back from a 3-day outing:

Don't you think that's taking it a little far?  Maybe I would feel different if I have served, but I would wear a US Army tape to show my respect for those who have served and for that final touch on my uniform.  

It's seems like we are taking this whole "you haven't earned it" thing a little far.  Don't get me wrong, I agree on rank/patch but not even US Army?  I have the absolute highest respect for those who have served but it seems to me this is a little much.  Most backyard/part sport players often wear replica jerseys of their favorite player.  Now, I am by no means trying to compare a basketball player to somebody who served, however I don't see them complaining about you not earning the jersey.

For most of us, airsoft is a sport.  All he is doing is wearing the uniform that he respects most.  I don't see why that is a bad thing.  Once again, I can understand your point of view on the rank/patch but is it possible to pay my respects to those who have served without offending them?  A good friend of mine just shipped out this week.  He has gone airsofting numerous times with me.  He could care less what you are wearing.

Plus, in this case, he's 15.  I don't think ANYBODY is going to believe him if he says he served.

I'm not trying to disrespect those who have served, it just seems to me you are being a little touchy about this.  Maybe I would feel different if I was in your situation.  But I'm not, so this is the way I see it.

I'd replace the Army patch with airsoft or something and get a team patch if you have one.  

Not that i care, but some get upset with kids who wear stuff like that.  even though, when i was a kid, back in the 70's, i bought an old bdu top with patches and everything, even the wrong name and wore it.  never once got confronted.

I served and was involved in some pretty high energy stuff.  He's 15, if he wants to wear a patch thats fine, don't beat up on a kid because he is excited about the military, a specific branch, or even a specific unit.  These kids are the defenders of our old sour assed future.  Let him be motivated, don't discourage him.  He may serve, and serve honorably, might even be the next Audie Murphy for crap sake.  He won't if he feels that all vets are a bunch of bell ringing chest beating look at me an what I did bunch of knuckleheads.  I do not wear any unit marking rank or any of the insignia that I earned but that is my choice.  And in this wonderful land that we live in if he wants to role play a specific unit that is his choice.  That is what we vets all raised our right hand to defend.

Off my soapbox now....

i have a few patches that i'd like to wear just because they are from groups that i admire and would aspire to becoming.  i don't because of this exact issue.  Is there any consensus among the veterans how one could display admiration and pride for a specific branch/division/etc without claiming inclusion or service? It could be something as simple as wearing the patch sideways, or on the bottom of the shirt or sleeve instead of the shoulder, or chest.  Obviously you're not going to make everyone happy with any idea, but is there a way not to offend "most" while showing your support and idealizations?

Let's put it this way. Think of it as going out to a military bar. If you walked in to a Marine bar with a force recon patch on your hat you can guess what would happen.

Just don't bother man, it's not worth the greif you'll get. Airsoft has more than enough patchs available, some pretty cool. Just get some of those and leave the rest to the pros ;-p

Edit: If you ever wear anything like this we'll make sure you never play Airsoft in AZ again!

I'd recommend ditching the "US Army" tape too.

Don't you think that's taking it a little far?  Maybe I would feel different if I have served, but I would wear a US Army tape to show my respect for those who have served and for that final touch on my uniform.  

It's seems like we are taking this whole "you haven't earned it" thing a little far.  Don't get me wrong, I agree on rank/patch but not even US Army?  I have the absolute highest respect for those who have served but it seems to me this is a little much.  Most backyard/part sport players often wear replica jerseys of their favorite player.  Now, I am by no means trying to compare a basketball player to somebody who served, however I don't see them complaining about you not earning the jersey.

For most of us, airsoft is a sport.  All he is doing is wearing the uniform that he respects most.  I don't see why that is a bad thing.  Once again, I can understand your point of view on the rank/patch but is it possible to pay my respects to those who have served without offending them?  A good friend of mine just shipped out this week.  He has gone airsofting numerous times with me.  He could care less what you are wearing.

Plus, in this case, he's 15.  I don't think ANYBODY is going to believe him if he says he served.

I'm not trying to disrespect those who have served, it just seems to me you are being a little touchy about this.  Maybe I would feel different if I was in your situation.  But I'm not, so this is the way I see it.


That's cool man.  I just said what I would do.  I'm not going to reprimand anyone who has a different opinion than mine, and I'm not necessarily saying he's being disrespectful.  I just said that I wouldn't do it, and if someone were to ask me, I would recommend that they do the same.

We have to be strict on this topic because too many airballers wear patches they don't earn and it causes animosity between us and mil folks.

Airsoft is about honesty and having fun. Wearing rank, units, insignia you don't earn gives the sport a bad name.

I can understand how this can be a touchy subject, but isn't freedom of expression in our country one of the liberties that people in the military are fighting to preserve?  I will wear marine clothing simply because I have friends overseas fighting right now and it reminds me of the sacrifices they have made for our country.  It is definitely a sign of respect for them in my opinion.  I would have to agree though that leaving out specific units and ranks is a good idea.  To me that seems more like false advertisement.  Other's went through a lot to earn those rankings whereas just displaying a U.S. Army, or Marines patch shows more of a respect for all who have served in the military.  However if you want to avoid the argument all together, just find another patch that you like  :).

i don't because of this exact issue.  Is there any consensus among the veterans how one could display admiration and pride for a specific branch/division/etc without claiming inclusion or service?

Please do not ever let Firehead or I catch you with a sideways "All American" patch on the sleeve.  You want to show support?  Get a patch made up that says "82nd ABN Groupie!" or go join.  

I really can't help but laugh at you guys who say you wear certain shit to show support.  You want to look cool, admit it.  There's nothing wrong with  that.  I wear what I wear because I like it.  I didn't wear a RAV to "show support" for the 75th Ranger Regt.  I did because I liked the vest.

If you really want to show support, wear a unit patch.  Wear rank, skill tabs whatever, but DO NOT, EVER wear it in public and/or try to convince people that you are in the military, or have earned shit you haven't.  

And you'll never have to worry about a military guy getting sensitive about your outfit.  It takes a thick skin to do what we do.  More than likely, we'll just make fun of you.

I don't plan on acting dumb on the airsoft field (The only place I would where my BDU's) or say that I earned the stuff on my jacket. I just bought it cause I'm trying to look more realistic when I'm airsofting. And like azsarge said, "DO NOT, EVER wear it in public and/or try to convince people that you are in the military, or have earned s*** you haven't.
And you'll never have to worry about a military guy getting sensitive about your outfit." So really their is no problem. And again, I'm only 15 so people won't think I'm in the military when I'm not.

Well I think to sum it all up, it's your choice.  You don't have to listen to what these guys who have served/are serving say, as long as you recognize their point.  Do whatever you feel comfortable doing, and just be prepared to deal with whatever criticism you may take on the field.

Post by: Sergeant First Class Keenan on December 02, 2007, 08:18:50 PM
Real quick before we get back on topic.

You can add me to the list of members that you don't wanna be a poser around.

If you wanna wear U.S. ARMY and really cool unit patches, tabs, badges, Give me a call 602-377-6322, As alot of people know around here I'm a Recruiting and Retention NCO for the Army National Guard.

I've got the Active Duty First Program now to I'll put you in the Active duty Army and you can earn your 82nd, 101, 3rd ID, 1st ID, 10th Mountian, Ranger, 58th Trans, 377th whatever patch, LEGIT. oh and you could end up with 60K bonus!

If your not willing to call me TAKE OFF THE PATCHES.

And as far as wearing the Marine Corps uniform, I don't care if you wear the MARPAT cammies, just don't wear the EGA or the U.S. MARINES name tape.

I will beat you to death myself bring you back and kill you again if you wear either of the above with out earning it.

The proudest day of my life was earning the right to claim the title Marine. I will never forget going up the REAPER and on the top my Drill Instructor, Drill Instructor SGT McGuire awared me my small Eagle Globe and Anchor and welcomed me aboard, It was then I knew that no matter were I went and no matter how it turned out every Marine was my brother I was then part of something larger then myself.

To this day when I hear the Marine Corps Hymn, or see the Eagle Globe and Anchor I still question if i deserve to be held to the same legacy, the same right to the title, as the Marines who charged across Belleau Wood, landed at Tarawa, raised the flag at Iwo Jima, endured the Chosin Reservoir, Marines like my father who held on for 77 days at Kha Sahn, and the Marines I served with, charging up through Kuwait towards Baghdad.

You wanna give your respect to a service member, say thank you.  

You wanna wear MY uniform ENLIST.

Okay just my 2 cents. Please back to the subject.

After reading what Cpl. Keenan said you better just play it safe and not wear any of that stuff period.

You're probably going to be seen as a poser anyway if you do that. Mil-spec monkey has a bunch of cool patches that you could buy. They are usually done in various color schemes so you'll be able to find one that matches whatever you are wearing.

I don't tend to post Pictures but a broken leg and the utter boredom that follows during recovery allows me the time.

I resently purchased an SDS Warrior of ebay.  Looked like it had been to Iraq and back, the harness looked as though it had blood stains even.  Well I ditched that infavor of the Ops-Core X-harness. I also treated the helmet to several flavors of Brownells Alluma-Hyde II

1. Base coat of Desert Sand
2. Touches of Olive Drab
3. Patterns in Coyote Brown and FDE

Pay attention kids, THAT is sexy gear!  It even looks like  he fuckin USES his kit.

One recommendation for the brain bucket - Skydex pads.  I've used the MSA, OA, and Skydex pads here and the latter have the best comfort.  In the cold, and it gets cold as FUCK here, they stay soft unlike the other 2 I've used.

Nice choices in kit, bro.  

If you need a NVG bracket, I've got you covered.  It's not a Norotos, but equally High Speed.  Drop me a PM.

The mounts I have won't work with a PVS-7 or -14.  Well, I have one that will and it's staying on one of my helmets.

The PVS mounts fucking blow.  Granted, the other mounts I have are composite and metal and are fragile, but the cast pot metal POS PVS mounts break when you look at them.

The shit I have only works with dual-tube NODs.  I do have several setups though.  
-Mount w/battery case built in (special batteries) (aka HGU "Ski Boot" mount)
-Same as above but uses AAs
-Standard mount, with specially-wired liplight battery pack (2xAA)
-Standard mount, with standard Battery box (4xAA)
-same as above, but with the AERIAL (Aerial Machine & Tool) standoff block

I also HAD an adapter for the PVS-ANVIS mount, but I can't find it.  I have so many types because I was looking for the perfect mount solution for the dual-tube NODs before they got locked up.

I'd take a pic of it all, but some are sealed in an ISU90, some are in the States now, and some are still in my B-hut.  When I get home and get them all back, maybe.

So, if you're looking for the PVS mount, Malicious Ind is the guy.
Title:
Post by: iBAWLS on December 13, 2007, 10:54:50 AM
Thanks for the info on the mounts, When I am ready I will let you guys know.

Glad you like the gear, and it is very well used, but still in good condition. Not as well used as yours I am sure, but about once a week.  It is still in good condition because it is not some condor nock off crap.

Buy cheap buy twice.

The Sordins are litterally brand new so they will stay black for a little while. I don't want to void any warranty just yet.  Took them out to the range and they are great, can't do any tactical shooting yet but after my leg heals it's back to airsoft and 9mm target practice.

I think he means "what kind of NVG brackets for the MICH / ACH?"  ie, PVS, ANVIS, HGU Skiboot, ITT, Wilcox (Manufacturing), Wilcox Research, Norotos, AWS, etc.  They ALL make mounts for the TC2000 style helmet.

There are more types than I can count.  I have a couple of the most popular types, except for the Norotos mounts.  We tried to order them but I doubt we'll see them by the time we leave, IF the order even went through.  

There are some VERY cool new NOD mounting solutions coming out.  Hopefully there will be a few examples at SHOT this year.

It's better than my first kit.

M80, make sure that you don't start buying more expensive gear until you think about what is really practical, and get some input, and hopefully even try some different stuff.  A lot of gear looks bad ass but is bulky, or uncomfortable, or just doesn't seem right.  The simpler (and the easier), the better.  Your pistol belt is a pretty good start, it should help you develop a little bit of a feel for what you do/don't like, and what you think you would like to improve upon.  (Also, perhaps just as important, what really doesn't need to be improved upon)

I need the one for the AN/PVS-7B and AN/PVS-14, with the J bracket so that I can use someones PVS 4x replica after I steal it.  Actually, I need a TC2001 also, so if you got a spare size L sitting around the hanger let me know bro.

Well, first of all, there is no "e" in HANGAR.

But, the funny thing is, I happen to have a SPARE side-cut brainbucket (made by one of the big contract companies) in my office locker right now.  What timing, huh.  Pretty sure it's a large, too.  Let me see what I can do about bringing it home.  It needs to be cleaned up a bit, first.

SO, you don't need just the bracket, you need the bracket, rhino mount, AND J-arm?  

I hope it's not MY magnifier you're speakin of! :lol:

That he has, my friend. The rig is a Blackwater IO plate carrier with cumber bund. He made the ammo panel on the front*, i believe the admin, radio pouch, and the 2 smaller pouches next to the admin.

*i bought several, but only have one on there cause my parents got me triple panels from tactical tailor, and the rig from SKD. So now what do i do?

And yes, it is a start.  This loadout will hopefully last me until then end of next year at which time I'll probaly buy a true U.S. Marine loadout before I begin playing any AA games.

Yes, I will probaly have to lose the cat considering he probaly weighs more than my replica. :lol: ...maybe the orange tip too, I did just pick the replica up yesterday though, so haven't had any time to do much except unsuccessfully attempt to get a stick battery in there... :?

I think you gear looks great.  Functionality is very personal though.  You have to decide what works for you and you won't know that until you use it in the field.  If it is modular and it looks like it is you don't have a problem.
Title:
Post by: Ares on December 27, 2007, 08:22:42 PM
correct about functionality.

An example of the things im looking for would be that i used to carry all my magazines with the spines facing the right. Someone suggested that they face the left and after some "getting used to" reloading from the rig became a lot easier. Another would be that someone told me, i should really be using a different radio and mic. which i agree with.

Out of personal experience can anyone suggest that something be in a different place? or replace something entirely? things like that
Title:
Post by: -MAD- SARGE on December 27, 2007, 08:36:32 PM
Yeah, make or get some mag pulls.

Hard to tell but do you have a hydration carrier on that rig? If not add that to the list.
Title:
Post by: Ares on December 27, 2007, 08:42:16 PM
of course. i have the reservoir, all i need is a carrier in MC.

about the magpuls, I figured out a way to mod the plates to work with the G&P midcap. but im scared of ruining good ranger plates, and even more afraid of stripping the threads both on the bolt and on the nut in the bottom of the "guts" of the mag. i cant decide if i should go the "badass" route and use all ranger plates, or go the safe route and use standard magpuls.
Title:
Post by: Pheonix 797 on December 28, 2007, 11:39:18 AM
Paracord magpuls. Cheap, easy, effective and make you look like a do-it-yourselfer! (Chicks dig it)

i did the paracord pulls for a while, but i think i like normal magpuls the best so far. better than ranger plates...

Is it just me or is your drop leg holster on backwards?

I also highly recommend boots and/or a boonie/hat. Something to get the sun and debris away from the face. Nothing worse than getting your goggles stuck in a bush you are going threw. Also those type of shoes don't provide any side support or heavy traction in loose dirt. I fell once while wearing a pair similar to those because my foot sank and the other hand to grip. Haven't since with boots.

Post by: BLKKROW89 on January 03, 2008, 07:53:53 PM
I appreciate your concern but i ran track and field for 4 years and tennis shoes to me are alot better to run in then boots. And i also have a pair of running shoes im going to be using i just took that picture with those cause thats what i had on.

But as far as i think that holster looks to be on correct to me?
Title:
Post by: Uchiha Itachi on January 03, 2008, 08:03:43 PM
To me it looks like the handle is pointing in the direction you are staring. The handle should be facing opposite of the direction you are staring.

That way when you draw your sidearm your hand and fingers and already in place. The way you have it you must turn your hand 180 or with the opposite hand. It works on chest holsters since you hand is already turning into position.

I also ran track and field and 'yes' tennis shoes are a lot better to run in, BUT, you will twist or break an ankle much, much faster in them running over uneven rocky terrain playing airsoft.  Most of the players who have been at this a long time will highly recommend boots.  Hiking boots even....just something to provide ankle support.

We're just looking out for ya bud.   Other than that......nice setup.

I appreciate you guys looking out for me but i just can ever get the feel for boots i have tried them going camping and i do a lot of hiking through tunnels and high adventure stuff. I really do appreciate it though guys.

i was going for like the bare minimals is there anything i dont need? right now i am running 10 mid caps? Could i Lower it down to have 8 on my chest and one in the gun? so a total of 9 not 10 getting rid of one mag holder? And Maybe getting rid of the chuckwallet?
Title:
Post by: Uchiha Itachi on January 03, 2008, 08:24:30 PM
Mags size depends on style of play and who you play with. I only use 5 P90 standards but have 2 speed loaders on standby. If you play and shoot alot keep the extra magazines. If you find yourself not using 2-3 magazines don't carry them next game and see how it goes.

As for the boots I am the same way. I never wear mine outside of airsofting so I just bought the Converse Side Zipper "combat" boot(with H. toe) in tan. Saved me from getting a 4 inch nail through the foot and I have never had a traction or foot injury since.
Title:
Post by: Farslayer on January 03, 2008, 08:28:01 PM
Like Cajun said, get a light pair of hiking boots at the minimum for ankle support.

If you are right handed, your holster should be on your right hip or thigh if wearing it down there.  If you are left handed, try drawing your side arm the way you have it...it won't work. :D

What kind of boots did you previously try? You might be suprised with some of the newer "tactical" boots (the funky hybrid looking ones). Many offer the comfort of running shoes, but provide good ankle support, and keep debris out of your footwear. Altama, Bates, Blauer 5.11, and Converse are a few companies making these style of boots. Heck, even some of the cheapies are decent. Some even feature a side zipper, makes gettin' them off when you're tired a lot easier. Gore-tex lined boots are awesome if you ever encounter snow or water in the field. I've seen many of these boots going from $40-$100. I'd consider that very reasonable for one of the most important pieces of gear. My boots have saved my ankles many, many times. I am kind of a clumsy oaf though.  But heck, that's just my 2 cents. Really the best method is go with what's comfortable. Ultimately, experience is the best teacher.
***Many apologies for the off topic post, that is, the utter lack of showing off sexy gear. I figure discussing it might be excusable.***

Good point, Vince. Although I have a cheapy pair (Major Tactical, $44.95) with a YKK zipper that I've abused for more than a year now and held up pretty well. They are the same ones that many of us Saguaros wear. But they're being made with plastic eyelets (instead of metal) as of last month, so I wouldn't recommend that brand anymore. Vince is pretty accurate in his statement though, i.e. the zipper, no matter how well it's made, will always be a weak point.
Title:
Post by: Vince on January 03, 2008, 10:58:59 PM
I have some Magnum Phantom2s (that I got for free from Magnum for being cool like that) with like, good construction on the zipper, and it still failed.

I read about it, and it's the opinion of those more enlightened with better credentials than myself that sidezips are good for like, police patrolmen, and that's about it.

seriously, its much safer, and NOTHING is more comfortable than a well worn in pair of boots. Running, climbing, whatever, it can all be done very well with a good boot. And for the love of pete put your elbows DOWN :lol:

I had a pair of Altamas that I wore the shit out of.  

They were so comfortable when I broke 'em in.

Then my PSG told me I couldn't wear them anymore because they were getting a little worn down.  Depression sunk in soon thereafter.

A comfortable pair of boots can't be beat for when you need the kind of support they can provide.

I volunteer with Phoenix Fire, and let me tell you the zipper is a blessing when you get a call in the middle of the night and you are groggy, disoriented, and have only 60 seconds to respond to dispatch and acknowledge the call.

But like I said, that's not airsofting.  My duties typically involve standing around, as opposed to hiking through rocky terrain.  I wouldn't wear these boots airsofting, but I absolutely love them for what I use them for.

You could always go with some lace-in boot zippers, though I've only seen them in black you may be able to find other colors.

like a train wreck, my friend.

and to the subject of my barrage, dont take it personally man. I guess i dont have room to say much, i mean, we all started somewhere.

P.s. An addendum to my post of the new rig.

I have Magpul PTS ranger plates on order, and need a little more spending money before i can get a water carrier for the back. Looking into upgrading radio equipment as well.

I removed the second triple panel on the right hand side and replaced it with a double by CT. I then added another double to the center. This keeps all my ammo more centralized, and lets my sport more CT gear  8)

I moved one magazine from the remaining triple panel and replaced it with a bb loader, placing the displaced magazine into the new double on the front. The result: equal ammo capacity with more central/left side ammo draw. The DOWN side is that it feels a bit fatter.

(http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k236/juturna485/Photo-0006.jpg)

I might place the radio on the open slot left by the removed triple, this will let me get to it easier.

Post by: Uchiha Itachi on January 04, 2008, 07:35:52 PM
Ok I did not mean to start a topic on side zipper boots. I own a pair and they work fine for once a month airsofting. Will they break? More than likely but until then they work fine for what they do. They will probably break at the very top where I have noticed it gets stressed while moving. They included velcro to help but I doubt that little piece can support the force my legs are putting on them.

Yea this pair;
http://www.lapolicegear.com/codetabo.html (http://www.lapolicegear.com/codetabo.html)

They changed it to "tactical". The only problem with mine is that I ordered 1/2 a size too big. And I was to lazy to ship them back, they fit fine.

I bought them near the death of SWPB and used them last week. They still look and smell near new.

Took me 3 months to find this thing stateside, its not one of those Ebay ones. This was made in Germany and issued and a non X style top which are found on ebay.

Underneath is the snow camo and a "G" authentication stamp. Now to find a Tasmanian vest....also the converse boot in underneath.

It can happen.  Had one pair and will never own another pair again.  The zipper broke near the ankle where it takes the most stress and at the time I didn't need to be worrying about a broken boot.  God I love 100mph tape, worked well for several days  :)

That was the only part that failed on the boot, the rest of the boot had a ton of life left on it, never again. They have their usefulness but wrong boot in my case.

i would have to agree with the Marine Corps boots, they got me through boot camp, MCT, MOS school.  I love mine to death. i don't have the steal toe ones to heavy in my opinion to do PT with.  But they work great and stay hella comfortable.  They don't fall apart either, they got through the crucible fine. the only problem is that they are expensive, especially the Danners i'm looking at right now damn near 200 dollars but will last for ever and are the most comfortable things I've ever worn. waiting on my uniform allowance.

I have the same cover on a replica helmet, except I have the older version with the OD on the other side, but genuine nonetheless.  They are meant for the German style kevlar helmets, but I find the older German helmets to not look so hot.  Their new ones with the IdZ get up are nice, but of course, to get one and to finance it would be more money then I would be willing to put into a Bundeswehr impression.  Its a lot easier doing general KSK lol.  

I had the TT (Tasmanian Tiger) chest rig I think you were referencing.  It was ok for G36s, I prefer a fully decked out webbing set than I did that.  Sorry though, I sold it before I moved here.  If you like chest rigs/vests, I guess it would be pretty nice.  If you are referring to another Tasmanian of some sort, then I guess it does not apply...

Oh the helmet is fake. I could have gotten a real German Kevlar helmet but that would just be overkill. Besides, the KSK is now starting to use MICH style in limited numbers.

When I go to AA style games I tend to wear the full setup with the Flak Vest. But I've found my carrier(molle) is to big to be in combination with the Flak Vest. Also European magazines do not fit will into most molle pouches, you can get specific but a chest rig would be better with a full loadout of 11 30rd g36 mags. This is the rig in question, its not authentic(tacgear) but still will work none the less;

Just remember, even though that isn't "official" gear, the KSK have had a history of providing themselves with their own kits depending on allowance and of course location.  I have yet to see more than two similar sets of pictures of KSK wearing the same thing.  Their kits change often.  The Bundeswehr or the GSG-9 on the other hand adhere to a strict kit.

My team (well I am the only one that lives in AZ, I just moved here from NY) are based upon the air operations platoons of the KSK, and we found, with some creative liberties since its imitation, not replication, we could use most rigs available generally to airsofters.  Even beyond the web rigging (which I use) and IdZ setups.  

www.flecktarn.co.uk (http://www.flecktarn.co.uk) is a good place to get whatever you want in flecktarn, albeit its shipping from UK so its a tad expensive.

My german is a little rusty to say the least.  Its cool to see a German-themed team way out here in the desert, I am part of the team Oct Luft (spelt wrong before I ever joined sadly), a KSK airborne based group from NY.  Its cool to see someone rocking something other than US traditional :).

Get a set of fake plates. Also, find a way to make soft armor(closed cell foam sheets maybe?). It will fit ALOT better, and it will look better to with it all bulked out.
Title:
Post by: Whiskey11 on January 15, 2008, 07:25:21 AM
the fake plates will have to wait unless they are really cheap and come in size XL = (I've only seen mediums)  Closed cell foam as in the stiff camping mat stuff?

They make size large plates, which will fit fine in that vest.  Some 1/4" foam and that would help fill it out, but you could probably just get away with just fake plates.  The easy way to go if you can't find those faux plastic plates is to just cut a thick piece of hard foam about 3/4" thick in the shape of a SAPI plate.

Ok so I thought about it and the lashing from TimW about being stupid with gear so I focused on being as close to the real thing as possible. I also remembered Vince's comment about Primary and Secondary so I got around it with a drop leg system. That way my stand down time is cut drastically when/if my primary dies.  This is how I broke it down;

1) Black Pouches to contrast the balaclava. I noticed I was getting hit in the neck and chin area over all others. The pouches give a secondary target and slight confusion of either if I am standing or kneeling.

2) No radio yet but I'm not sure if I should get one. I do have a pouch on the back to place it and use a throat/headset setup. No cords would be in the way of the sling.

3) Utility as a canteen pouch and the German H Harness as a dump pouch for spent mags.

4) Shemgh to protects my jaw/teeth and in the P90 keeps the sun and sweat off. Gloves are random, they have emergency lights on them.

5) Thats 11 G36 Star 30rds and 5 P90 standards. Like I said I tried to keep it as real as possible. Which I why I left the flak vest on but the boots are tan. I will eventually switch to black.

Am I missing anything or is anything stupid(other than posing but I don't know anyone else that airsoft milsims)? like always advice is appreciated and sorry for the crappy camera.

Unless flecktarn is so good that it can dim any oncoming light, I can't quite make out the detail since it is low-light, take some flash pictures!

But from what I can tell, its a pretty good setup.  Are you going for German realism?  If so what type of German setup?  Or are you just going for something that works?

Also, were you the other guy at OP: Black Horse with flecktarn on in my team?  Or am I still confused since moving here...?
Title:
Post by: Uchiha Itachi on January 24, 2008, 10:14:42 AM
Ill retake them today, the camera I used really sucks. Even with the flash it can't pick up detail.

The first one is a more KSK loadout being light and fast.  Only keeping the essentials.

The second one I was going for IDZ. Which is why I have the double hydration carrier and low sitting pouches+flak vest.

And yea that was me. I really haven't been to any events since then.

EDIT: Best pictures I could get. Crappy camera, added a shot to show the contrast with the balaclava and mag pouches.

Post by: Altered_Soul on January 24, 2008, 12:21:46 PM
Cool, I was the guy on your team wearing the short-ops KSK stuff with the MP5.  

KSK stuff is fun and fairly easy to reproduce since they basically follow a per-situation kit, based around either Flecktarn or Tropentarn of course.  They even use MOLLE stuff when they find it usefull.  The whole IDZ system is proving very useful to them, they are using both that MOLLEish system and traditional German Webbing interchangably now.  

Going for a Bundeswehr look is tougher, since they are strictly set kits mostly.  They currently still use the webbing, but of course the IDZ sets are becoming common.  Expensive as hell though.  Its 400 dollars for just the vest (no pouches, no armor, just the vest and interior pouches), and about 50 bucks a pop for pouches.  

What vest are you using in the lower pictures (again I can't quite tell with the camera quality)?  I am looking to get an alternative vest to switch out with my webbing.

Thats the one. I think cheaperthandirt has it for less. I combined it with the bottom one to mimic the electric components on the back of the real one. I would have used a thinner vest but they don't quite have the thickness of a real IDZ vest, this one does. To get it over the Flak vest I just had to remove all the flak parts. I also do have the webbing on, I just wearing it under the vests.

DiamondBack Tactical is an excellent company. I don't like a lot of HSGI designed stuff. Internal mag pouches aren't the best way to have them, the centurion from HSGI has an attachable cummerbund with internal mag pouches if you do like it that way. talk to TimW at practicaltactical.com for more info.

The pouches are big enough for 5.56, 7.62x51 or 7.62x39 mags.  As you can see, it's a little bit of a stretch to make the flaps work with the AK mags.

As for making one "built" for .308 or AK mags, not gonna happen.  He builds these for guys going to the sandbox, and carrying AK mags isn't a priority for the units that are buying them.

My "old" gear -

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/toad01.jpg)

Chuckwalla utility pouch, 4x Dual M4 mag pouches, radio pouch, & dump pouch.

I've actually had most of my "new" stuff for almost a year now, but its been quite a while since I took any photos of it.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/everything.jpg)

The biggest changes I've made is to use open top kydex magazine pouches and two radios.

Although its difficult to see at all, there is a modular chest rig underneath all the pouches.  It is very straightforward.  The body of the rig is mesh for breathability and has no map pockets or anything, because I didn't want any of that.  I like the 2" unpadded seatbelt straps because they are simple and cooperate well with my camelbak sitting over them.

A photo of my old rig that was underneath the pouches in the first picture.  I don't have a photo of the new one,  but this is similar in its simplicity. -

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/toad02.jpg)

Back to the new stuff -

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/dumppouch.jpg)

Detail here of how the dump pouch is secured to the waist strap so that it doesn't shift on the around.  I run my dump pouch on my left side, because I'm right handed, shoot right handed, and drop my mags with my left hand.  Also, because of this, I have the buckle positioned on the right side so that the dump pouch can be as far "forward" as possible.

I have, upon occasion, considered moving my dump pouch to the center of the waist strap to position it so that I could drop magazines into it with my right hand if I was shooting left handed, but as with a lot of things, its kind of robbing Peter to pay Paul - My regular usage of the pouch would suffer just to allow a slight advantage to a situation I'm rarely in. (Reloading with my right hand)  Not to say it doesn't happen, but I can always ditch the mags on the ground.  Not to mention the fact that my Camelbak might stick into it a bit, reducing the size of the mouth of the pouch.

Lately I find myself dropping magazines onto the ground much more often than putting them into my dump pouch, (At least, in the immediate moment) but I still want to have one on me, as I use it for other general utility options.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/radio.jpg)

Radio pouch.  I use two ICOM F4S radios.  They are positioned on either end of the chest rig.  I don't use the other radio all the time, typically only at large events with multiple radio nets where I need two radios. (depending on my position)  I have some tape around the shock cord to hold the cord over the plug on top of the radio to keep it secure.

As a point of interest, the radio pictured is sitting backwards in the pouch, with the face pointed towards me when I wear it.  This is so that the antenna is inboard and doesn't poke me in the arm pit.  My other radio sits "correctly" in its pouch because the antenna is already inboard.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/headseth250.jpg)

The radio on my left side is my primary radio and is connected to my LITE II Headset, which is shown here on the right.  This headset is similar to the Bowman PRR headsets and the basis of the Cavalvy Elite I/II headsets.

The item on the left is a H250 handset.  More on that below.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/u94plug.jpg)

Here you can see my PTT assembly.  There is a disconnect between the PTT and the headset.  I got this setup, because I wanted to be able to change out headsets if I wanted, or attach two radios to one headset. (Something I've since decided against)

The PTT bites pretty hard into whatever you put it onto, so I've had a strip of 1" webbing added to the shoulder strap so that it doesn't tear up the strap underneath.  I'm considering rearranging how I have this setup, as I'm worried that it will interfere with my open top magazine pouches below.  So far, no difficulties, but it seems to me like it might be asking for trouble.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/h250.jpg)

Another shot of the H250 handset.  You can follow the cord to my 2nd radio on the end of my rig.

At first, I thought the H250 handset was kinda gimmicky, but after using it, a really cool thing happened.  Having an aural and physical separation between the speakers for my radios improves my ability to use them tremendously.  With one radio and speaker being on the left and one being on the right, it is much easier to discern between them and seperate whats going on mentally, even if they're both receiving chatter at the same time.

I wanted to hook two radios to my headset, but now having seen other people with this setup, I don't think I'd like it.  Both radios talking into one ear at the same time seems like a mess to me.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/singlemag3.jpg)

Open top kydex lined single M4 magazine pouches.  I carry 8 total mags on my rig and 2 reside in these pouches.

Drawing magazines from these pouches, for me, is much faster than drawing a mag from my other pouches.  Ideally, when I reload my weapon, I grab a magazine from one of these pouches and slap it into the gun.  If I've got time, a magazine from one of the other pouches is placed into the open top mag pouch to make it ready again.

These pouches have a kydex liner to make them stiff enough to hold their shape without a magazine in them, as well as provide enough retention to hold the magazine in place under activity.  Some loop velcro inside lets the magazines slide in and out.  The velcro is merely the correct texture to provide friction and a stand off against the kydex - There is not matching velcro on the magazines.  I really like these pouches.  The retention strength is enough to hold the mag in upside down, while running, etc without being so much that it is difficult or slow to extract a mag when you need it.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/singlemag.jpg)

Here you can see down into one of the pouches with no magazine in it.  You can see the kydex and velcro liner as well.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/chuckwalla.jpg)

Chuckwalla utility pouch.  On the front wall of it, you can see the six pistol mag loaders.  Each one has an individual slot to go into.  On the back wall, you can see the XL BB loader, multitool, and whistle.  The back wall also has a zippered pouch for stuff I don't want to lose and some grommets for tie downs.

What you can't see (I didn't think to take a photo of the bottom) is the spare radio batteries, GPS batteries, goggle fan batteries, compass, and whatever other stuff I have during a game - like a bag of BBs, granola bars, etc.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/deathrag.jpg)

Death rag.  Typically I have a square of loop velcro on my headgear and so my death rag stays where I put it.  I also put a lanyard on it so I definately won't lose it.  The death rag is lightweight and folds up nicely so it fits inside the chuckwalla.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/hydrationcarrier.jpg)

Here you can see my hydration carrier.  It is a Camelbak Thermobak 3 liter.  I run my hydration carrier separate from the rest of my gear.  One of the things I like the best about the Thermobak is that it has a zipper running along the right side.  This zipper allows me to have the drink tube exit the carrier on the bottom, so I can run the drink tube up under my right arm, which is how I prefer it.

The Thermobak is pretty simple and carries only water.  I've contemplated switching to a Camelbak Ambush (or similar) to gain a pouch on the back for additional storage, but typically I don't find myself missing any said storage.

I run my hydration on the right and my commo on the left.  Initially, my rationale was that I didn't want to get my commo items wet, but using nice stuff, it can take it.  So realistically, the reason is more along the lines of the fact that my PTT is more in the way of shouldering my weapon than the drink tube is, so I run the drink tube on the right.

Hope this was informative.

Not for airsoft, but something that definitely has served me well.  Here are a couple of my helmets.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/cagdboy/DSC04504re.jpg)

It's an MSA TC2000, with Skydex pad upgrade and ANVIS NVG mount and battery pack.  Nothing exotic.  I put the new paintjob on it AFTER I got home.  When I wore it in the mountains it was just Green.

The skydex pads are leaps and bounds better than the MSA, ZAP, Gentex and eve the Oregon Aero pads in that they DO NOT get hard in cold weather.  They are also softer and don't soak up sweat like other brands can.

For the front mount, I had to disassemble it to drill the mounting hole, but that's it as far as modifications go.  

The velcro on the left (where the flag is located now) was where I mounted my EVO Helmet Camera.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/cagdboy/DSC04505re.jpg)

The battery case is a standard ANVIS box, with dual compartments.  When one set runs low, flip the toggle switch to the other side for a few more hours of runtime on your NODs.  It's a heavy and bulky power system, but balances the helmet.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/cagdboy/DSC04507re.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/cagdboy/DSC04509re.jpg)

Regular issue Protec "Ace" helmet with ANVIS mount and my re-wired battery pack.  As you can see, it only uses one of the ANVIS battery holders in a Mike Light battery pouch.  This was a DIY deal, and it's MUCH lighter than the box setup, although I did sacrifice some runtime.  Alot of guys still run the box on the back of their Protecs.  

The velcro is for any combination of Green LED liplights, X200, helmet camera, or IR devices.  I can't find my IR lights, and I put the X200 on my M&P.

Here are the 2 with my vest and armor package.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/cagdboy/DSC04515re.jpg)

It's an Eagle Industries MARCIRAS.  The armor is Custom Armor Technologies LT-3A Level IIIa soft armor (I didn't have this in Afghanistan, but the issued Frag-Rated stuff) and the Ceradyne BALCS "Ballistic Upgrade" Level 4 plates.  The best triple-curve plate money can buy.

I'll be sure to take pics of my plate carrier w/ cummerbund and Rhodesian Recon rig when I get it back.

Got in my imported MFH "CombatVeste".  According to the company, this is a civilian version of a CIRAS vest used by the German military in some units.  I think its just a cool copy of the CIRAS in flecktarn, that was well priced (even with German shipping), and came with the things I wanted for use with my SCAR.  I have my full webbing rig for 100% milsim.  Aparently some German units do use CIRASs, from certain pictures, but I am quite sure they are the real deal, as they are NOT flecktarn.  But hey, this thing is cool looking, and it serves the purpose I want, so whatever.  Ugly ass shoulder-pads removed, although they are funny looking...

(http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/607/picture013jx1.jpg)

without the pouches:
(http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/1504/picture007cb4.jpg)

For some reason ImageShack refused to load the pictures of the back.  But I am sure many of you know what a CIRAS looks like.  There is a long radio pouch on the back, but the good stuff is on the front.  Oh and removed the SWAT patch that was way out of place...
Title:
Post by: azsarge on February 21, 2008, 03:17:49 PM
That's kind of cool, actually.

The German MOLLE-type stuff I saw was a bit different with regard to PALS spacing/size, but it was the same principle.

I did see some French SOF types with OD MARCIRAS a few times, and the Dutch guys were rockin them in Khaki.

Cool stuff.

Thanks.  You may be thinking of the IdZ (Infanterist der Zunkunft) prototypes that the Budneswehr is considering to replace the older Webbing system of modular attachment.  It uses 1 cm (as opposed to 1 inch) webbing, both vertical AND horizontal (for stiffer weaving or horizontal placement of pouches).  Therefore MOLLE pouches don't work on an IdZ without making fingers bleed but IdZ pouches work fine on MOLLE vests.  

Mine is a copy of the CIRAS clearly, while the IdZ is a bit more unique, and is not really like a CIRAS.  I was thinking of going IdZ for a diverse gear set, but then I weighed the difficulty of aquirement of a real military versus the civilian version thats stuff pretty difficult to aqcuire in the States, along with the obscene price (350 dollars for just the IdZ vest, plus pouches puts it around a 600 dollar plus foreign shipping cost...).  

I kind of wanted a more American based piece of gear (Weesatch, EAGLE PC, etc etc) with MOLLE so I could sport a different gear set for my SCAR I just got.  I figured it would be nice and easy to use my German webbing for my G36, and then have a separate LBV for my SCAR, so in a game where I had the chance to utilize both, I could just change out the gear instead of having to deal with changing all the mags out and that fun stuff.  

This MFH CIRAS though was a good find, as I wouldn't have to compromise my love of Flecktarn and I could still pretend that I was MILSIMing KSK units which have been photographed with OD or CBish CIRASes.  Its build quality is pretty good, and the webbing is well spaced and stiched.  It will require being broken in as a whole, but that is standard with Cordura from experience.  

Oh, and if you ever want something like this and can't get it stateside, never buy from the UK, buying from Germany is cheaper, both on price for gear, and for shipping.  UK shipping is absurd.

Post by: Twitchy Konigkeit on February 21, 2008, 09:04:04 PM
hey thats pretty cool, i was thinking about getting IDZ, cause we use the old webbing still, and thought we could be hi speed while staying original with our German based group. which i think we are one of only a few, cause i know some try but its only like a flak jacket and a pouch...no webbing or anything. and some people just buy flecktarn and put on what ever kind of rig they like...maybe more hi speed but not staying with the look.  Anyway before i get really off track.  Where did you get the vest? i may look into something like that, because IDZ is really expensive.

Here is my(read: azsarge's) rig:

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh317/Firehead158/SAWRig.jpg)

Eagle RRV
-2 Eagle SAW pouches: obviously, to carry my combat load. Two drums of 200 rounds each. I love these pouches, if I'm carrying an M4, I can just throw those in there, or two of the smaller 100 round nutsacks.

-1 Paraclete smoke pouch - carries my smoke. I kept it centerlined to keep it more protected from getting slammed into stuff. I also keep it there becuase thats where you have the most dexerity, so i can go straight into the pin pull, and throw.

-1 battlelab triple pistol mag pouch: if I happen to be rocking a pistol, I got 3 spare mags. Also, if someone else ends up needing them, I have spare.

-1 Battlelab small GP - carries my NODs. Nice and out of the way, but easy to get to if I need them during low light operations.

This picture isn't as "nice" as Raiths, or anything like that, but its simple and it works, just like my rig.

Thanks for letting me use this, azsarge, its a fuckin' killer piece of gear. One of the best I've used.

EDIT:
Now that I have time to post. Altered helped me find it stateside. It cost me a little less than a CIRAS pouched would. I just got it today and it only took me a few minutes to attach the pouches. They are similar to Molle but are 1cm and have no button closures. The vest has amazing weight dispersal compared to my Molle which constantly dug into my sides. It came with enough pouches that I don't have to buy more + 2(another dump and Mp7 holster I believe). It also has webbing panels tucked underneath. Well worth the money I saved up for it.

To complete my IDZ loadout all I need are some EPS-21s and some Black Boots.



 The German IDZ.

the IDZ is pretty sweet.  I thought about buying some, same with my group, but its way to expensive.  where did you buy it? flecktarn.co.uk? tis sexy. i still sport the old school webbing.
Title:
Post by: Uchiha Itachi on March 25, 2008, 09:36:25 AM
A guy on Arnies was selling it. The tag says it came from Multi-Design.de but its the same version and this one came pouched. With the Bundeswehr constantly changing the vest this would work fine. I'm gonna try and get an outside picture with it on.

I only have the basic H harness set since I didn't like it. It never stayed in place or fit right.

EDIT: I'm also kinda on the fence about the EPS-21s. Even though they are IDZ issued I can't get replacement lenses. Unlike the $20 replacements I can get for my ESS. If I break/crack a lens I'm out $120+ and another $120 for a new pair.

Post by: Altered_Soul on March 25, 2008, 12:30:59 PM
Nice man, very nice.  I am very happy that since I decided to bypass it due to having a full rig (and then getting a CIRAS for the SCAR), that someone I could at least see has gotten it.

Sweet deal dude.

Also, I would just stick with the ESSs.  Goggles are not a 100% milsim thing (nor did I buy my ESSs for milsim, they just rule).  I wouldn't worry bout that aspect.

SARC's kit is awesome, but it weighs a hefty amount. I can't imagine it with the plates in. Fortunately, Airsoft isn't quite as "rigorous" as getting shot at for real. Definitely falls into the sexy gear category, though. And the paint job he's done on his CA M4 is great. Ya'll ought to take a look when you see him.

Post by: Kurn on April 28, 2008, 11:48:01 PM
Here’s my current setup.  The rig itself was made by Coyote Tactical, while the pouches are a mix of Paraclete, CT, and Recce Gear.
(http://members.cox.net/kurn31/gear/rigfront.JPG)

I run my Camelbak tube under my left arm.  The hydration pouch has side ports, and the tube is routed with grim locks and Velcro/elastic.  My radio ends up under my left arm and my dump pouch (folded up in the picture) hangs under it on some long malice clips.  On my right side is a modified Chuckwalla, which holds my BB loaders, spare batteries, and glasses.
(http://members.cox.net/kurn31/gear/rigside.JPG)

It consists of four parts: the front, the two sides, and the rear hydration carrier.
(http://members.cox.net/kurn31/gear/blowup2.JPG)
(http://members.cox.net/kurn31/gear/blowup1.JPG)

The front flips up, and the inside is lined with Velcro to keep the sides in place.  This makes it very easy to put on and take off.  It would also be very easy to switch between two different front pieces (say one with M4 pouches, and another with AK pouches).
(http://members.cox.net/kurn31/gear/rigflap.JPG)

The rig also has a small bib.  It’s big enough to hold two M4 mags side by side (an AK mag is shown in the picture).  I use it for maps, power bars, and other small flat items.

Not 100% accurate, need USMC Sand Wind and Dust Goggles but they are not ANSI rated so bleh... also need an LC-2 Buttpack and a Cateyes band for the Helmet.  Currently waiting on the Woodland BDU and helmet cover.  I May decide to get an LC-2 buttpack but I dont really want to right now.  There is also no chance in hell I'll buy an M16A2 to have the proper weapon for the Era so I guess another thing that I'm going to look the other way on.

Replace camo with an AK mag chest rig and I wouldn't be able to tell you were American.

Funny thing is that 6 color top is made in another country, it only has breast pockets and also has epaulettes.  The reason I took the camo top idea is that most modern Mujahideen incorporate some form of camo and most Afghani men wear vests (as seen on the majority of Soviet invasion era Mujahideen).  Lastly though, I figure wearing either a tan camo or green camo top makes it easier to identify me on being with one side or another for airsoft.

Alright, I have almost finished my FAPC. All I need now is either an Admin Pouch or 40mm Pouches if I get an M203, along with a dump pouch and a dropleg holster.. I will have pics of the full loadout tomorrow, but as I was sick today I decided to change up the PC a bit. Here is a pic of what I have so far:

(http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Hendrix2247/IMG_1145.jpg)

List:

-Ranger Green DBT FAPC
-CB Hydration Carrier/Pack
-T.A.G. Triple Double Mag Pouch (holds six mags each)
-OD Duty Belt (not shown)

It is very simple, but the mag pouches my 10 M4/M16 mags, 2 speedloaders, and a flashlight. In the hydro carrier I carry an extra set of cammies, 3 1,000 round bottles of .23G BBs, and a pair of 8x binoculars

Nice, thanks for the heads up!

Falling out due to what you are saying makes sense.  I also heard that after a while some of them can irritate the inner ear pretty bad to which the response to the pain would be to pull it out partially as well.

If you ever have to carry around a SAW, you aren't going to want them on your sides like that, its going to get in the way. Trust me. The best way to run a SAW is to have in on a seperate rig, not attached to your body armor, IMO.
Title: Re: Showin off that sexy gear....

Title: Re: Showin off that sexy gear....
Post by: Ganef on August 26, 2008, 10:56:35 AM
Carrying a saw effectively in airsoft is much different than carrying a real one. The mags don't need to be replaced to be refilled with ammo. I found it the most effective to carry gp pouches with bags of ammo and spare batteries. I carried a saw in two LC events (5 &6), op irene 4 and balkan hammer I.

Be sure you have the necessary equipment to repair a boxmag in the field, they can be jammed by sticks and leaves that fall into them during loading. Also lubing the box periodically needs to happen. I also carried 2 m4 mags in case of an emergency when my box mag failed in a firefight.

Use what works, don't change your setup unless there's a practical reason for you to do so.

Here's my project I started yesterday in an effort to make a more comfortable rig.
Pics are kinda fuzzy- taken with my blackberry.

It started as some bulky (unsure of brand) rig shown here, with all 5.11 add ons. ( they had a sale at AZTAC lol )
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/ihakari/100_0003.jpg)

I removed the back part, which was too small for my neck and added shoulder straps I had laying around by sewing them to the fastex buckles.
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/ihakari/mainchestback.jpg)

I cut the 3 adjuster buckles off, and sewed the 2 lower parts into one fastex female end for a lower support and looped the top back to the main front strap
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/ihakari/cumberbunorig3.jpg)
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/ihakari/cumberbun3to1.jpg)

finished sewing all parts together, and this is what the front looks like
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/ihakari/mainchestfront.jpg)

here is the finished simplified rig without the camelback attached
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/ihakari/final.jpg)
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/ihakari/proffront.jpg)
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/ihakari/profback.jpg)

my question is, should I try to integrate the camelback I have into the shoulder straps, or just put that on first under the vest?

let me know what you think; Sexy or fugly for my first attempt at modding gear.
Title: Re: Showin off that sexy gear....
Post by: Pheonix 797 on September 03, 2008, 06:18:13 PM
I'd leave the Camelback as-is from a practical standpoint. If you ever decided to use it for anything else unless you plan on buying a second one it's on your gear period.

The mod and gear looks great, the camera phone (I think) does not!

Just got a pair of Oakley SI Desert Gascans with Black Iridium lenses.

Pretty sweet. The icon is an OD IR flag. I like the Gascans. The full frame makes them less transparent to the wearer than say, M-Frames, but, they are a little more comfortable. M-Frames pinch my nose and the temples kinda pinch. These are very relaxed, but, also kind of loose. I dunno if they are meant to see airsoft combat.

Goes well as pictured with tan LT hat.

So many acronyms.

Eagle Industries CIRAS Maritime in Coyote Brown
I bought the wrong color pouches (Light OD i think????) so it kinda throws off the color (That's what you get for going cheap on a good vest). It's bugging me so I'll replace them soon.

Thanks for the complements guys, she thanks you guys too.

The vest is Coyote Brown, rather it better be, it was special ordered because I wanted that color. It is much darker then it looks there, the mismatched color pouches and the bright flash throw the color off in the pics.

It looks khaki to me as well, but with the lighting, its hard to tell.

In my photo above, this one -

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/spartan02.jpg)

My dump pouch is khaki (MJK) and the vest is Coyote brown.

The contrast is probably incorrect, however, as the MJK appears darker than it does in sunlight and the coyote appears lighter than it does.  With several colors in that photo and me not remembering what I've done to manipulate it, its hard to say.

Bring it into the shop and I can tell you for sure.

I'm looking for a new pack to use for drill. I like the Eagle A-III pack so far, how do you like it? I need it to carry a set of ACU's, boots, 2 belts, 3 pair socks, 3 under-shirts, 1 set PT gear, notebook,1 bath towel, toiletries, while im not using them, keys, cell phone, glasses, water bottle and it must have the spot for my nametape and rank (which i know the A-III does) Do you think your pack could do that? I'm betting it can, I just want a user's review.

Ok, well, to start off it is quite pricey. I paid $150+ shipping. But its worth it. The main pack has a sleeve for a hydration pack but can be used for various items, and the space in the main pack is quite large. Then theres a second smaller but still quite large compartment and then the front zipper pocket which also is quite large. I use mine for a number of things, such as school, range bag, groceries 8)  , but i bought it mainly as a bug out bag. Where ever i go theres always a set of tools, about 50-100 rnds of xm193 5.56, some spare magazines, some medical supplies (as I'm diabetic), lots of AAA/AA batteries, and generally 1 or 2 MREs though i don't have any left, their so good :mrgreen: Also I must say Eagle did a fantastic job with quality, its tough as hell. Plus, if you run out of room, buy pouchs and add on. I still need to buy a small first aid kit, and various survival type items before its a complete BOB. Like I said its tough and can hold alot. yesterday it supported 2 jugs of milk, 2 2 litres of coke, all the stuff that was in it before hand and there was still plenty of room. I was going to buy a 50$ knock off 3 day bag, but I'm glad i bought realdeal stuff, never again will i buy cheap, knock off shit. Few more pics: The rifle is real. Still waiting on my patches :(

I got mine from SKD and they were awesome, i accidently shipped it to my alternate address in Michigan and they told me or who ever recieves it in MI to mail it back and SKD would pay for shipping back and send me another bag to my AZ address. They were class A. They had the best colours in stock too. Op Tactical is also quite good. Triad Tactical isnt bad either for this bag. If i ever get another loadout going in another colour I'm buying another one of these bags, I love mine, it goes everywhere I do.

Ty,

Its really good quality and thicker than a normal BDU since its mountain weather stuff. Only weird thing is the hip pockets don't have pouches, both sides are just holes  :-k .

Red: No.

How much did the entire MAV setup cost? I'm going to be running the Eagle Industries CIRAS setup I got, but I'm always looking for something lighter. I also picked up a pair of Alta knee pads in OD and a set of Tru-Spec TRUs in OD for the event.

I picked up a MAV complete deal and was able to convince the good guys at TT to let me swap in G36 pouches at the proper discounted price, so my MAV set was a couple tens more expensive than the "normal" sets.

I got it all directly from TT:

MAV complete: http://www.tacticaltailor.com/mavvestcomplete.aspx (http://www.tacticaltailor.com/mavvestcomplete.aspx)

Bib: http://www.tacticaltailor.com/mavbib.aspx (http://www.tacticaltailor.com/mavbib.aspx)

X-harness: http://www.tacticaltailor.com/xharness.aspx (http://www.tacticaltailor.com/xharness.aspx)

And the other single items I got:
MOD Hydration Carrier: http://www.tacticaltailor.com/modhydrationcarrier.aspx (http://www.tacticaltailor.com/modhydrationcarrier.aspx)
40mm Pouch: http://www.tacticaltailor.com/40mm4rdm203panel.aspx (http://www.tacticaltailor.com/40mm4rdm203panel.aspx)
and I actually got this off of Arnies, but its a great radio pouch: http://www.tacticaltailor.com/radiopouchsmall.aspx (http://www.tacticaltailor.com/radiopouchsmall.aspx)

The G36 open tops are just Condor M14 pouches from ASGI.

Again, the Bib/X-harness combination adds MOLLE real estate, comfort, and Hyrdration carrier options, but it runs it really low, well below the chest.  So if you don't mind that, its a great combination.  The X-Harness is a necessity though, the Bib is, in my opinion, expendable.

This is the "Showing off that sexy gear" thread, not the "give us a list of your gear" thread.

I do have some questions for you, though:

1.) Why TWO IFAK pouches? What do you need 2 first aid kits for? If you are using them for utility, get canteen pouches, those are great utility pouches.
2.) Why a PASGT helmet? Get an ACH replica or something.
3.) Why get tan SAW pouches? All your other gear is in ACU, why are you going to deviate from that?

Post by: deathbydanish on November 13, 2008, 01:53:50 PM
whiskey, is that an SDS OTV cover?

I've seen some fairly inconsistent coloring on all the OTVs I've seen, some look more of an earth brown and some look like a light khaki. But then again I'm guessing maybe it is the inconsistent lighting and different cameras that produce such a variation on all the OTVs.

Yes it is.  All the CB pouches are SDS as well hence the reason why there isnt much color variation.  However I've seen very few CB's that are identical even between manufacturers.

He's already standing, if the chicken wing is going to give his position away then I think the person spotting him has health issues :)  It's not a bad stance but the arm should be lowered unless you are shooting at a quickly moving target.

Post by: Exarach on December 01, 2008, 04:55:54 PM
You can't see it in the photo, but I am wearing a P90 drop leg mag pouch, which holds those rediculously large mags. I have used the same vest for a while, and it the "cheaper" kind, which only holds M16/M4 mags, which was fine because that is my primary gun. I also have invested in the first factory box mag, which allows me to use a M16/M4 mag, and hopper with the P90, so the M16 mags still hang around on my vest. I will probably swap vests soon as well, since I have a MOLLE II FSBE replica coming in the mail shortly, more pics when that gets here.

Post by: sonjamichelle on December 19, 2008, 10:02:32 PM
The cummerbund is the part that goes around your waist, the side flaps. The side flaps are actually a separate piece from the vest. It slides through a flap in the back of the vest. In the center rear where the two flaps come together is where you'll find the laces to make the cummerbund tighter. Then when you bring the flaps around to the front you can adjust their placement on the velcro.

I got the Plate Carrier Combat Set http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=4196 (http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=4196) It came with 2 double M4 pouches, MOLLE dump pouch, utility pouch and a simple hydration carrier with bladder. For $110 it's not a bad deal and is a good starter platform.

As far as setting up the pouches, that's pretty much trial and error. My setup has changed about six times in the past three weeks. Each time I figure out a little better way to place the pouches. I originally had 4 P90 pouches on the front, 1 M4 pouch on each side, dual pistol mag at right breast level. Then the gadget pouch on my left side to the rear and another single pistol mag on the right side to the rear. I couldn't get into the gadget pouch very well and the farthest pistol mag pouch was a pain. The P90 mags were ok, but they made it tough to lift the front flap to secure the velcro. I changed it up after a few skirmishes and some experience with where the pouches were and the problems I was having with each one.

(http://sonja.tx0.org/Vest/full_view.jpg)

As you can see, I got rid of two P90 pouches, moved one of the M4 pouches to the front and the dual pistol mag off the front to make room for my radio. It was tough to use tucked between the pouches and my bear. And my name and rank were obscured. You can see the hose from my hydration carrier fed through the shoulder pad. Keeps it from getting snagged or hanging loose.

(http://sonja.tx0.org/Vest/front.jpg)

A closer view of the front. The P90 mags loop into the bottom most row of MOLLE on the top section and then extend down past the bottom of the vest. They look unweildly but they're not too bad. Then there's the dual M4 pouch. I can carry 4 M4 mags or 6 MP5 mags. The top flaps are adjustable. The flaps can be removed, they're just velcro'ed in, but I would keep the flaps to protect the mags from falling out and debris. The top most two MOLLE loops are vecro for attaching name, rank, unit patches, flags, morale patches, etc. Not having the pistol mag, gives me more room for my radio (Motorola GMRS/FRS T5000). And now you can see my name and rank.

(http://sonja.tx0.org/Vest/front_velcro.jpg)

The map pocket on the front (where the P90 and M4 pouches are secured) lifts up to expose the velcro that secures the front of the cummerbund. This velcro is absolutely the strongest I've seen!!!!!

(http://sonja.tx0.org/Vest/front_buckles.jpg)

The reverse (skin side) of the front plate. Not much here, you can see the two buckles from the waist strap. I have these tied together so they dont get in my way. I don't use the waist strap because I have a small waist. The flap with the button, held in place with velro folds down to allow access to the inside of the front in order to insert an armour plate. The button flap holds the front flap (also a map pocket) that covers the front velcro that secures the cummerbund when you pull it around you.

(http://sonja.tx0.org/Vest/rear.jpg)

A shot of the rear. I don't use the hydration carrier that came with the combat set. I opted for the MOLLEHydration Carrier (http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=2699 (http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=2699)). It has two pouches, 1 top 1 bottom for additional storage along with the main hydration compartment. I keep extra glasses, couple of small tools, webbing, D-Ring and emergency food (or MRE). Attached to the MOLLE on the lower compartment is the utility pouch from the combat set. I keep a few first aid items and a pocket mask. The mask is a medical shield for CPR.

On the left cummerbund flap I have the MOLLE dump pouch (from the combat set) that is my mini first aid kit. I'm a Firefighter / Medic in the real world so I like to be prepared. ;-) Then the gadget pouch. This was part of the Tactical Utility Leg Platform (http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=1871 (http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=1871)). Pic of that later. I keep extra bb's, spare batteries, safety briefing and a few other small items. When on me, the first aid pouch sits under my left arm, the gadget pouch sits on my left front.

On the right side you can see the other double M4 pouch, dual pistol mag pouch and a single pistol mag pouch. The M4 pouch can hold 4 more M4 mags or 6 more MP5 mags. The pistol mag pouches hold 3 speed loaders.

(http://sonja.tx0.org/Vest/rear_straps.jpg)

The inside of the rear, again not much here. Another velcro flap exposing the opening for a armour plate. You can see sticking out of the right side one of the waist straps. I just tucked them into the cummerbund pocket.

(http://sonja.tx0.org/Vest/cummerbund_pocket.jpg)

A shot of the cummerbund pocket. The laces and elastic portion of the cummerbund is tucked away in here. I have the above mentioned waist straps tucked in here as well to keep them out of my way. I don't want to take off the pouches in order to pull the cummerbund out. But with a bit of wiggling, the cummerbund slides out of this pocket to expose the laces and elastic.

(http://sonja.tx0.org/Vest/belt_holster.jpg)

And finally my belt, drop leg and dump pouch. That's the OE TECH Belt Mounted Recovery Pouch (http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=1839 (http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=1839)) Same as the Spectre but half the price! This pouch will hold at least 12 MP5 mags and probably 10-12 M4 mags. The top has a semi ridged band that holds the pouch open just enough to drop the mags in without opening any flaps. There's an adjustable loose cover that keeps the mags inside. The whole pouch folds in thirds and vecros up and out of the way. The Tactical Utility Leg Platform provides the MOLLE attachment for my holster (http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=3552 (http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=3552)), two single pistol mag pouches and a small flashlight pouch. The tactical Duty belt comes with two pistol mag pouches that I use for two more speed loaders.

All in all it's a nice setup, somewhat pricey but I stretched the expense over several paychecks.  ;-) The great thing about it, I can change the pouches around to suit my style and my weapons. Like I mentioned before I've changed the configuration at least six times now.

Yes it's the Condor vest. The buckles probably don't bother you because you probably don't have an hourglass figure  ;)

Its better if you pull it really far down in the front. Otherwise you can only button the first button and it will hang even lower.

Title: Re: Showin off that sexy gear....
Post by: Raith on February 11, 2009, 12:23:47 AM
I took some photos, so I figured I'd do a small write up -

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/commo04.jpg)

2x ICOM F4S and batteries

The ICOM F4S is a 4 Watt UHF (440-470MHz) radio.  I have 3 batteries for each radio although each battery seems to last all day for the most part.  They are 9.6v 1450mah NiMh batteries.  The battery attaches onto the radio and is about 50% of the total size and about 75% of the total weight.  The batteries come with detachable belt clips, but I don't use them for the most part, as the pouches on my gear a sized for them without clips.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/commo01.jpg)

TEA LITE II Headset with lower cordset and ICOM F4S Radio

The TEA LITE II Headset is similar to the Bowman PRR headset and the Cavalvy Elite/Elite II.  The base headset is manufactured by Davies and assembled by Television Equipment Associates. (TEA)  The headset downlead ends with a U-93 plug which goes into a lower cordset made up of a U-94 push-to-talk, (PTT) some coiled cabling, and terminates in a standard ICOM plug.  There is a clip on the PTT to attach it to your gear.

One of the reasons that I wanted the LITE II over a comparable TCI offering is the option of having the U-93/U-94 junction inline with the radio.  I wanted to be able to remove the headset and leave the lower cordset "threaded" into my gear.  There is an earpiece cover for loud environments, but I've found it to be almost useless for me.  I have removed the top strap on the headset, as I've found that it does very little in terms of securing it to my head.  This headset gets the most amount of usage by me.

At one point, I wanted to get a lower cordset/PTT that was capable of having input from and output to two separate radios.  The issue with this is that there is only one speaker on only one side of your head with this headset.  This leads me to the next item -

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/commo02.jpg)

H-250 Handset and ICOM F4S Radio

The H-250 is a handset that has a speaker, microphone, and push-to-talk button built into it.  They usually come terminated in a U-229 connector, but this one has a standard ICOM two pin plug.  There is a clip on the back of the handset to attach it to your gear.

I use this handset when I want to use my LITE II headset and two radios.  I usually clip the H-250 to my right shoulder.  This simple aural separation does a wonderful job of letting you keep which radio is receiving straight.  The human brain is very good at distinguishing directional noises, and having a physical separation of radio output to left and right ears allows you to keep track of each.  Its not easy, but it is possible to listen output from both radios at the same time.  This setup has worked very well for me, and while I haven't ever had a dual radio setup outputting into one ear, I've seen others do it with poor results.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/commo03.jpg)

MSA Ranger MICH Communication Headset with 2x U-94 PTTs terminating in ICOM connectors  and 2x ICOM F4S Radios

The MSA Ranger MICH Communication Headset is built around a Sordin Supreme Pro hearing protection headset.  It has a microphone on a boom to pick up what you're transmitting and 2 cables to plug into whatever PTT that you are using.  In this case, I'm using two MSA manufactured U-94 PTTs with standard ICOM connectors on the other end which plug into the radios.  Each ear cup has two speakers, one lets you hear external noise while suppressing loud noises (such as gunfire, explosions, etc) and the other speaker handles the radio input.  The radio plugged into the right downlead outputs into the right earcup speaker and the left downlead into the left earcup speaker.

I have the gel seal earcups which make a tremendous difference in terms of the comfort of the headset, especially over a long period of time.  

The Ranger MICH Comm headset was something I'd wanted for a long time without any real reason for having one.  I finally picked one up late last year for much less than I thought they'd go for.  Hooray ebay.  Finding the ICOM PTTs was the real trick. :)

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/gearphotos/everything.jpg)

Here is a photo (from a different set) of the chest rig I use and how I'd have the radios, LITE II headset, and H-250 handset setup.  You can see the ICOM radios in their pouches on either end of the rig, and the H-250 going to the right (as worn) radio.  The headset is hooked to the other radio.

Yes because nothing beats M4s and ACUs or posting gear that you don't use when you play. I wore the below EVERY time I played regardless of the heat and I NEVER complained. I can't say the same for a good deal of the people I played with....

I'm not saying US gear sucks but it's not for me.

That was probably the most authentic IDZ/Bundeswehr loadout in AZ. That was a real IDZ(civilian which now belongs to AlteredSoul) and everything was made in Germany(including the Dual Optic). It was missing the Gentex EPS-21, Eickhorn KM2000 and gloves.

Just an FYI to all that are interested, alot of their camo patterns are back, as well as some of the ballistic plates.  I think they remove items when they're out of stock...

You are aware all the flak can be removed making it just a normal vest? The older versions where also kind of bulky but considering they use IDZ plate carriers or Ãœberziehschutzwesten there won't be any new ones. My later model was much more compact even though it was the same size as the old one.

Also I forgot to tell you ISFK, I often wore the webbing under the flak. That way the pouches don't flap around and get caught on trees...unless there is a cactus within the tree cause that was just painful.

people typically put admins up there, they are good for their utilitarianism and there are different types/styles. could try 40mm grenade pouches if you have a M203 or maybe Frag or flashbang pouches or maybe even pistol mag pouches, but anything else would probably get in the way of a mag change.
Title: Re: Showin off that sexy gear....
Post by: Joslyn on May 29, 2009, 01:17:17 PM
The thing is, with the Gen. 1 FAPC in Medium Size, the top of the Admin. pouch has nothing to secure to. I have a buddy that also rocks the FAPC, what he did was sewed (spelling...?) velcro to the top/back of the pouch, which helped secure the pouch to the vest, via the hook/loop fabric used for name tapes.

I might try that, if I decide to go the Admin. pouch route, or I was thinking something along the lines of this:

http://www.diamondbacktactical.com/Batt ... 6C229.aspx (http://www.diamondbacktactical.com/BattleLab-Low-Profile-Pouches-P2926C229.aspx)

or

http://www.diamondbacktactical.com/Inje ... 2C229.aspx (http://www.diamondbacktactical.com/Injectible-Meds-Pouch-SmallPatent-Pending-P2072C229.aspx)

(I figured I would just pull the hard vial protector out, and use the pouch as a slim admin. "jerry rigged" pouch)

That is a really cool hat, I've seen one before.  People have killed people while wearing that hat.

Don't ruin it by wearing to an airsoft game.

I've posted this RAID pack before but I have had it for a few more years now and I’ll add it's a good pack for light duty.  I installed a quality hip belt, which allows me to carry a bit more weight for longer periods of time but anything more than 40-50lbs and this pack will probably leave you wanting something more sturdy and comfortable for those longer hauls.  It's an excellent day bag to carry any basic gear you would need for a few hours or for a day hike. At one time these packs were very popular but I still think RAID's are cool.

Hi guys! I have finally acquired over 90% of my full loadout for 2011! Figured I would post up a detailed list, and snap a few fast pics to share.
Enjoy! Either by awing or laughing, your choice!

**WARNING Objects in mirror may appear fatter then they actually are..... emphasis on may.....  :D
That moustache is the icing on the cake.

Pictures of my newest pack taken on a recent vacation.

It's has gratuitous molle real estate and boasts a large main compartment capable of holding more than enough stuff for a weekend out of town.

The pack was made by Ganef and is of excelent quality.

I've found that my chest-rig i've had forever works best for me and is comfortable aswell. I dont find it crowded because everything on it has a purpose and i've used the same setup for so long. I wouldn't mind trying out a Battlebelt setup in the future.

I know some people who hardly change their loadouts because they are so comfortable with them. But you know what, why mess with success, if it works great for you, I say stick with it. Me on the other hand, I'm definitely a gear whore, it'd be weird if I didn't divorce my rig every year or so in favor of a newer one.

I don't see how you can wear all that, it looks way to crowded. haha I'll stick to my lightweight gear.

You wanna talk lightweight? I use a duty belt. You've probably never heard of them. Tac vests are too mainstream

#'Softhipster
Ha! I wear boots, skinny jeans, and a camelback with a spare mag in it.
Gotta say this. If it calls for it, I use a t-shirt, jeans, a speed loader, a co2 pistol, alllen wrench, and spare c02 cannister, fuck yeah!

I painted my Emerson Ops Core/Fast Bump replica helmet today. I think it turned out really well. Maybe in the future I'll add some sort of pattern to it.

I used Krylon Khaki and just took off all the hardware on the helmet and covered the velcro with tape. The method of painting the helmet is called "dusting".

Newest addition to my "high speed low drag" cowboying kit. MSA Sordin Dual COMM headset with HARRIS PRC PTT's. Purchased brand new for $310 came with the headset, batteries, three PTT's (two standard, 1 coiled), and two MSA 3/4 pads.

(http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2837/9946948403_5e7c41c169_c.jpg)

coiled wire is used when I'm a vehicle commander.
 (http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7388/9947073264_8ae9e2a233_c.jpg)


Obviously I had to remove the crown pad and "mimic my pads to resemble the FAST OCC  set up
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7429/9947007684_1cd2476b41_c.jpg)

has very low profile headband to fit inside most helmet
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7389/9947103223_5b239b9b9c.jpg)

fits very snug in my medium LWH, optimal size is obviously large for a more comfortable fit.

Newest addition to my "high speed low drag" cowboying kit. MSA Sordin Dual COMM headset with HARRIS PRC PTT's. Purchased brand new for $310 came with the headset, batteries, three PTT's (two standard, 1 coiled), and two MSA 3/4 pads.


Nice setup. Hot as @#$% in the desert, but nice.

Thanks. Yes actually, ebay seller amountainman is very reasonable, and for you grunt brethren currently down range he does ship to FPO/APO addresses (that's how I was able to get mine). I run Harris AN/PRC-152/117G/119F (mostly 152 since I'm billeted as a FTL) and occasionally a Motorola AN/PRC-153 (rarely). the Harris radios are terrible in my opinion, because if you get a FRO to load it wrong, COMM goes to sh*t, but then again COMM was never a strong suit in the infantry

Thanks, yes it is but unfortunately my unit didnt go back down range to Afghanistan this year, instead we got sent into the Pacific for jungle warfare UTP's.

My girlfriend just got me one of the coolest pieces of survival and evasion tools out there on the market for my birthday. It's called the Operator band, and rightly so; it was designed by a level C SERE graduated ODA Operator working for RE Factor tactical. I'm providing a link to the actual product because it's the best $50 I think my girlfriend has ever spent on me. For those of you who actively go outdoors I highly recommend purchasing this piece of gear. There are videos on the page to give an in depth description of the actual band and what components are (P51 can opener, fishing line, 550 cord, #8 fishing hook, handcuff ket, snare wire, fire starter rod).

After updating my role as a support gunner, I decided to modify my kit as well. Got a slick plate carrier underneath of an eagle industries H harness- great for weight support! Helps with lugging an m240 around.

FDE/A-TACS. This is my fourth loadout, preceded by the FDE/Blue Jeans AR57 loadout last year, the UCP M4 loadout from years ago, a loadout I called "The Reporter," and the green flannel shirt and ninja mask from my preteen years.
