I found myself on Arnies again after god knows how long. While I still have my plate carriers, I really got into LBVs mostly due to playing some Milsim West games from time to time. The rig is a FirstSpear Padded Patrol Harness, pouches are mostly Tactical Tailor, and the butt pack is Velocity Systems.

O that game was fun indeed. BFAs in the rain are awesome!

Here's my newest rifle, a JAG Arms PHX15 Recce. This one is a bit different for a special use but it's using a lot of the same furniture.

No doubt, scalable/modular panels is pretty much the new norm. The problem with the industry is that most companies force you to buy their proprietary designs. The design from Advance Dynamic lets you retrofit older plate carriers or newer carriers that don't have the modular feature.

I've done quite the 360 with my gear. I started with a CIRAS, got a Banshee, switched to a Strandhogg, "upgraded" to a JPC with a Hogg cummerbund, downgraded to an SOHPC, and now I'm using an old Eagle Plate Carrier.For some reason I really like the design and simple features that my EPC offer.
To keep up with the Jones's I'm using a new cool piece of kit from a new company called Advance Dynamic which lets you retrofit older plate carrier designs to accept modular/scalable panels.

As a NATO guy, out side sucked. I think I was there when I heard that guy say that. I was dissapointed to say the least. Even as a BFA I called getting hit several times cause it was awesome.... the laughs we had playing dead was hilarious especially at our COP when you guys constantly attacked.
-
So I find myself at an interesting crossroads with my kit. When I first started I wore a fully loaded CIRAS. Shortly after I ended up wearing a battle belt with some pouches. After that I loaded up my battle belt and making my vest slick.
Nowadays I'm wearing more and more kit on my vest again and less kit on my battle belt to the point that I only need to wear a leg rig and a holster. Do you guys find yourself consolidating kit back to a 2nd line vest again? -
I was one of only two NATO BFAs (Pittiful lol...) and it was pretty cool to see Russian dudes playing dead when I "shot" them. The BFAs are mainly there to add to the immersion factor of the game.
-
I've been happy with it so far. I've kept it stock and it runs like a champ using an Echo1 Lipo.
-
Some gun pron from work. The base gun is a VFC VR16 with some Madbull rails.
-
I had some spare Magpul rail segments lying around so I ended up tacking one on my Echo1 Bolt to try to replicate a Krinkov optic mount. It's not perfect in the least bit but at least it's solid and relatively straight. Just right for airsoft lol...

Frogfish... me and my co-worker attended this MSW game with the intent of kicking back being BFAs in the rear. Our Ranger Platoon Seargeant came up to us and said, "You're BFAs? Good, you're the only two. I have responsibilties for you." lol... Our Platoon leadership ended up using us as an LMG element to support and cover the other squads. Yea we were the only two BFAs splitting 800rds between us... NATO just like in the Warnords felt like an encircled unit the whole time. I heard stories RusFor had boxes of smokes and grenades, NATO was lucky if 10 were available per platoon lol...
In the next event if we can go, we're brining more ammo and much much louder blanks.Sigma I think that was my buddies platoon, 2-4. They were supposed to be deployed on PB/OP Chimpo but were called back because of lack of action/visibility. Sounds like you guys missed out on a epic night fight. That fog was knarly.

Fun game for sure, definitely spoiled my Milsim expectations for any games. MSW4Life!
-
Hey Sigma! I raise you an undermanned, underequipped, and determined NATO BFA element! NATO was so homeless at this event...
Saw this gem of a video of me doing a mag dump on some RusFor!

I might, but some new laws in CA are making me second guess that decision. Apparently CA SB199 passed requiring ALL airsoft guns be bright florescent colors. Depending how bill fairs on the Governor's desk, I'm probably gonna quit and focus exclusively on realsteel.
-
I really fell in love with this tiny little AK. I like it a lot more than my RD AK47. The only change is the integrated light mount I made using a Magpul MOE Illumination kit. I think I'd like to add an Magpul STR stock too.

For some reason I think the contrasted Multicam with the grey looks cool. As for my team, the only requirement now is some type of grey uniform. The gear is open for whatever. Generally we have CB and RG for gear colors.
-
A mockup for my team as we have decided to wear grey as our color. I think it looks pretty awesome, it would be awesome had Otte Gear and Crye made stuff in grey.
-
Frak yes, so hard to get one too... but soo important for 1pt sling capability.
-
The closest I can clone a 7.62 Krinkov. The base rifle is an Echo1 Bolt.

Some shots of my Banshee loadout from a weekend pick-up game with my teammates. Good times for all and continued positive reviews for the mod I made to my Banshee.
and a shot for the ladies on the forum *cough cough*

Yea don't do it yourself... I'd advise drilling holes into a helmet as you compromise it's ballistic qualities. Can you exchange it?
-
I just picked up this little thing, it's the Echo1 Bolt. It's perfect for CQB and since I've already had gear for an AK, it made sense to buy another AK for indoor/CQB fields and games. I was very satisfied with the performance that my Echo1 RD700 gave me at my last outdoor game, I feel the AK Bolt would be perfect for me.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do paintjob wise, if at all. For the moment the gear setup works for the basics that I need. I managed to scrounge up enough parts from my leftover RS bin to finish the gun.

My Banshee as I've run it for the past year before I settled for a FirstSpear Strandhogg. Overall the vest fully loaded weighs about 30lbs or so with mags, water, and armor. I still use it from time-to-time. The shoulder strap mod I made helps the vest perform a lot better than the factory buckles on the straps.
This is a mod I did to my Banshee to fix the shouldering problems I encountered with the factory buckles. It was easier and more comfortable to shoulder a rifle with the shoulder straps being as low profile as possible. To accomplish this I cut off the plastic buckles and replaced them with ITW G-hooks. The G-hooks are stamped steel making them the lowest profile hardware available. Adding Banshee shoulder pads, the whole vest feels more comfortable, stable, and practical.

The Joker is FirstSpear’s answer for Jungle warfare. It’s even jumpable. But you’re definitely right, it sucks they stopped the Patrol Harness. Basically an H-harness from the Blackhawk and Eagle era.
I like the Velocity Systems rig, but it’s basically a modern ALICE belt system. Plus the pouches from the system are really intended for use with their belt. A good example is my butt pack, it has two d-rings I thought we’re mean for rigging kit but it’s actually where the suspenders for the belt system go. So previously on my Patrol Harness the pack would sag badly, worse when stuffed. I ended up rigging it securely with some webbing snaps ITW makes and it’s rock solid now.
