Normally I wear Navy BDUs with my SWAT gear, but this game dictated Multicam.
Assessing a possible entry point:

Moving in on the open garage door:
When this was taken, I think I was saying something like, "GET UP HERE YOU MORONS!"

Hey Erik are those actual pics of you from desert storm?
Yep. I have been looking around to replicate the kit, at least to some extent. Just for fun though, I probably wouldn't want to wear the PASGT while skirmishing.

I'm partial to the old school patterns myself:
Although I have used digital camo patterns too:
I wish I still had this kit, the only thing I still have is the helmet cover and the holster...maybe I should put something together for Airsofting, eh?

Love the Rhodesian stuff.

I just posted an OD/Woodland loadout in the "pics of your loadout" thread.

Here's my Multicam kit. Like my other one, it uses the Blackhawk suspenders. I bought the desert colored ones, but I did not like the color match so I painted them with Krylon. It was my first "gear painting" and I was pretty happy with the results. The belt is a Blackhawk MOLLE/STRIKE.
1. Tactical Tailor Hydration Pouch - I am thinking of replacing this with a Condor one because it's a little smaller than I'd like.
2. TT smoke grenade pouch - used as a radio pouch.
3. Maxpedition Tac-Tile. I have 2 of these, used to carry my dead rag, bug juice, and misc. items. I really like this product, it's a great way to take advantage of unused "real estate" on your gear without adding a lot of bulk.
4. Tactical Tailor magazine pouches. Each holds 2 M16 mags with magpuls.
5. Unknown brand triple pistol mag pouch (found on eBay), mounted on a Condor double-mag shingle.
6. Official AR15.com logo Maxpedition rolypoly dump pouch.
7. 100-round SAW pouch, used to carry BB bottles and a speedloader.
8. Cold Steel rubber knife in a SpecOpsBrand sheath. There is a Leatherman multi-tool in the sheath pocket.
9. Blackhawk SERPA holster for my M1911, mounted on another Condor double mag shingle.
10. Gimlock, used for routing my hydration tube.
11. D-Ring, used for anchoring a single-point sling. My M1911 lanyard is also anchored here.

My "Woodland" rig. Base is a set of Blackhawk suspenders on a modified SDS MOLLE FLC belt.
1. Condor hydration carrier
2. US ALICE ammo pouches (I carry 2 mags with magpuls in each one, plus a BB bottle and speedloader in the one by my bayonet)
3. Not used
4. Double pistol mag pouch. I carry my pistol in a US tanker holster with this rig.
5. Maxpedition Mega Rolypoly. I use this for a dump pouch, and it's actually a bit too big (you could carry a phone book in there). I think I will trade it in for something smaller.
6. Rubber bayonet
7. SDS smoke grenade pouch, used to carry my radio.

I wrecked a car while quarter-mile dragracing several years ago, I still have some lingering medical problems from the crash. I suffered some vertebra compression and am probably lucky I wasn't killed. I had a 3-point roll bar, helmet, and 5-point seat belt, but I was shutting down. My timeslip read 13:11/131mph. I'll see if I can dig up some pics.
A couple of years ago I totaled my van when I hit a deer. Liability only coverage too
I have full coverage on everything now. -
I wonder if this could be a good base gun for a Naboo Blaster.
-
Nice 1st Line there. PC's rock, but I have to say a nice set of web gear wouldn't go amiss.
First line?
It's my only line.

Updated since I have made a few changes.
The base platform is a set of Blackhawk suspenders (the older style) with the new Blackhawk MOLLE-style STRIKE belt. I thought that the "desert" color of the suspenders was too light, so I painted it with Krylon.
1. Tactical Tailor hydration pouch. I am thinking about replacing this one with the Condor, because from what I've been able to see the Condor pouch is larger.
2. Tactical Tailor smoke grenade pouch. Used as a radio case.
3. Maxpedition small TacTile (one on each side). For carrying small items, bug juice, mission info, medic cards, dead rag, etc.
4. Tactical Tailor double magazine pouches. Each holding 2 M16 mags with magpuls.
5. CTD molle-type double-mag shingle with a pistol mag pouch attached. Holds 2 M16 mags and 3 M1911 mags. Mag pouch is from an unknown source off eBay.
6. Official AR15.com logo Maxpedition Rolypoly, used as a dump pouch.
7. 100-round SAW pouch, loaded with a speedloader and two BB bottles.
8. Cold Steel training knife in a SpecOpsBrand sheath. There is a Leatherman multi-tool in the sheath pocket. This is also mounted on a CTD shingle, which holds 2 M16 mags.
9. Blackhawk SERPA holster with my trusty M1911, also mounted to the shingle.
10. Maxpedition Grimlock, used for routing my hydration tube.
11. A D-ring I use for attaching a single-point sling. This is also the anchor point for my USGI pistol lanyard.

The whole point of collecting is to have one of everything.
That is why I own 15 AEGs and counting...

@Vercingetorix:
MAD PROPS for not overlooking th gas block and tube! I hate it when people post pix of guns that could not fire if real.

G&P M203
G&P M16a1 metal body
16" barrel
HK53 flashider
This is a replica of the M203 I used in the Army, with the exception of the shorter barrel.

I just got this done tonight. It's a prototype I have been working on for a couple of years (on again, off again).
This particular gun was inspired by the 9mm Colt subguns made by Total Silence and similar "tactical" Colt 9mm conversions. Modifications are:
Cut-down barrel
Cut-down front sight
Receiver modified by removing brass deflector and forward assist
Warhead 9mm magazine conversion
Real steel brass deflector
Cut-down dust cover
I built the upper receiver separately and then mated it to the lower of an A&K M4 with a crane stock.
All things considered, it turned out pretty well, but I am not too fond of the gap between the upper and lower. I think I sanded that out a little too much. My test reciever also has a broken tab, which could be part of the problem.
Like I said, this is a prototype that I did basically to find out how hard this conversion would be. I am thinking of doing this to as a complete gun with a little bit more care, possibly even trying it with a metal body.

My XM177 when it was plastic, after I weathered it with paint.
It has since been outfitted with a metal body and modified in other ways:
I used pics of real Vietnam-era rifles as a reference for the paint job.
Got it a little dirty in a skirmish, which was nice. Combat rifles and gear should get dirty.

I didn't intend to have 3 cats...I had one, and my wife had 2, so now we have 3.

This early "Colt Commando" was a labor of love. The body and pistol grip are G&P and the barrel is from King Arms. A Marui XM177 provided the base.
Note the correct front pivot pin (custom made) and the real-steel slipring. I also eliminated the bayonet lug and front sling swivel mount. I am still looking for a couple of little things to make it as accurate as possible, but overall I am really loving this gun.
My Marui-based AR15 went kaflooie so I decided to transplant all of the external accessories onto an A&K M4 I got for $60. So far it's running like a champ.
My indoor/CQB gun...stock with a shortened barrel, Noveske KX3, G&P SOCOM stock, M500 taclight and a Gen 1 EoTech. The scope mount is from Rock River Arms.
I bought a Marui M733 for use as a KISS backup gun, but I can't resist the temptation to keep attaching things to it.

Custom AK Carbine built by by a friend out of spare parts...inspired by a friend's real-steel Saiga I painted it black.
To make the purists feel better, here are two of my other AKs:

Manufacturer?
Where did you buy it from?

Does anyone have a source for the Arii "Combat Sets" knife model kits? I am looking specifically for the "survival knives." I'd appreciate any help.

That Daisy Model 59 brought back some memories. I had that, the Luger, the Uzi, and the .357. Back in the 1980s you could buy PFC and replica kit guns from any hobby shop for around $75 - when the SoftAirs came out for $40 they were a steal.
The only survivors - my Model 58, now repainted as a prop, and my Ruger Blackhawk PFC gun (which is no longer with us after being parted out for an abortive Firefly gun project).

It's not. It may look that way if you are used to seeing the 551/552 series, mine is a Gen-1 EOTech.
