  1. Um... I hung it up under my porch and sprayed it down...

     

    Who cares? It looks good, and I needed to repaint it anyway because I actually use my stuff and it gets beat on.

     

     

     

    blah blah blah. I'm pretty sure that troops dont strip down their rifles before they paint them...

     

     

    Way to take constructive criticism!

  2. Doesn't that CAT get in the way of shouldering?

    Hmmm, nope. ;)

    Surely his question still stands? You didn't answer it, you just showed a picture of an SF soldier who does the same. To me, it looks like the CAT on your setup will get in the way of shouldering your rifle Mancino, whereas it looks like the SF soldier will be able to shoulder his weapon with no problem.

  3. CO19 use some HK416's these days according to wikipedia but can't find a pic for the life of me. I wonder what bits they put on them.

     

    The armed police I saw in Gatwick had, if I remember correctly, 16" barrel, Aimpoint, the HK version of the Crane stock and the weird HK pistol grip.

  4. Pray tell, what exactly is that thing? A quick google search revealed something about aeronautics, but I couldn't decipher all the jargon used to describe it, being a lay man. Are a pilot perchance?

     

    Not a pilot, a skydiver!

     

    Looks like a thing for automatically opening your reserve parrot chute should you be plummeting.

     

    Yup. If you're travelling at above 78mph below 1000ft. then it'll automatically open your reserve 'chute for you.

     

    Expensive, but definitely worth it!

     

    A few vids of it in action:

  5. I thought the MK7 was this thing

     

    *snip*

     

    The shape is different from the ones i posted (i.e doesn't cup outwords on the side and doesn't slope down at the the back), That said, im no expert.

     

    In your first post, the top and bottom pics show MK7's. Not sure about the middle pic.

     

  6. This was originally a Dboys CASV M4 believe it or not. Now there isn't a single part left of it.

     

    Nice rifle! I'd recommend wrapping the inner barrel in black electrical tape or similar though, to make it less obvious.

  7. Everything in that picture has been scrapped, that pic is years old.

    the next phase of PECOC trials is this month, ill tell you all when any decisions get made on kit, camo patterns etc.

    If you're allowed to, it'd be awesome if you could keep us updated with pics!

     

    Ta.

  8. Also ref the guy in your pic dough, I don't think he's actually a current soldier. That pic was taken by Edgar Brothers as part of their promotional material. I think the guy is a member of their staff.

     

    Yup, and it isn't an L119.
