  1. ok cool, ill pm you. must admit, i was getting worried, but i guessed it was a comms problem as everyone thinks your such a stand up guy Darkchild
  2. Hey medic23, you still havent replied to any of my e-mails, or messages. I still havent received my ACS, or any word from you that even confirms or denies purchasing and shipping said shirt. What's going on mate? If you havent got it, then send me my 200usd back, as i have been waiting months with no joy. Im sorry to everyone else to post this on a public thread but i cant seem to contact you any other way. Darkchild
  3. I dont care, i was making a vague point about posting comments on pictures where you dont know the full picture, in reply to Gadges observation of the rooftop snipers. My comments were an example of how i could come to similar conclusions. Your corrections have proved my point, see! Darkchild
  4. i never said the marksman was leading, i said the gunner should be in front of him. Actually read the post before commenting on it. Darkchild
  5. @Gadge: you cant apply conventional wisdom to a modern, urban counter insurgency. When i was in Iraq, 9 times out of 10 the best positions for sniper pairs were on rooftops, most of which are completely surrounded by unbroken walls of some kind. Short of kicking a portion of wall down (which works wonders for hearts and minds) the best fire position is on top of the wall. as for the russian recce team, they are showing poor skill by letting their marksman patrol with his sharpshooting weapon. any half decent sniper knows that you patrol with your primary weapon, switching to your prec
  6. i havent received any shirt, thats what the email was about. When was it sent? do have any way of tracking it? I dont normally have any trouble getting stuff from the US so im wondering what could have gone wrong (it normally takes about a week to get here). I hope you got right address. Darkchild
  7. Hey medic23 did you get my e-mail? i know your PMs dont work so i wondered if you received my last mail. Darkchild
  8. nice loadout Fallenguard!!! Darkchild
  9. im new to this pistol lark so i have some questions. Will this barrel fit my TM MEU? I was wondering if there is any way of removing the right hand side of the ambidextrous safety as i dont really like it. Also, i plan on getting a tightbore for it, can anyone reccomend me a good one? Thanks Darkchild
  10. I wouldve posted sooner but i was too busy actually being in the desert up until about 2 weeks ago I have no new pics but ill post these anyway (hasnt seemed to stop anyone else) Its my DDDPM, yes the camo pattern that gives you a stammer! I was wearing it yesterday at GZ woodland actually but my wife's camera is broken. Darkchild
  11. In the British infantry everybody carries a daysack on patrol. Within it you would mainly carry extra ammo, claymores, maybe a 66mm, spare bombs for the 51mm mortar etc. As well as that you would be carrying a bit of food and spare water, night vision aids, radio batteries and whatever specialist kit was required. these days ECM is also carried frequently on patrols too, so thats 3 or 4 packs full straight away without even taking other kit into consideration.

  12. Doc, if you look at his pics he has no loops on his lid. I like giving kit advice for Brit loadouts. A lot of official pictures are of posing REMFS and i dont want potential imitators to get the wrong idea. To look like a wardog you have to do a few subtle things that are different from Johnny shelf stacker that spends his tour strutting round Kandahar airfield or something. if ANYONE wants help on doing a modern DPM loadout im keen to help out, just ask. Darkchild
  13. Buzzsaw: good effort mate, just a few things that stand out as wrong to me. Ditch the rig, no self respecting grunt would wear that issued piece of ######. You best off mounting some good pouches to the osprey or buying an off the shelf lbe system (warrior assault systems are very popular among infantrymen). Put some elastic or tape round the base of your helmet to protect the cover. Cut at least the trigger finger of your gloves if you're doing a grunt impression. get some kneepads. Put your cyalumes in a pouch, only REMFS put them in their molle loops. They break really fast that
  14. why the hell do you have names on your helmets? Darkchild
  15. thought you guys would like to know that certain units in Afghanistan are being issued this plate carrier in desert dpm. I dont know why the MOD chose to go with blackhawk but i know that in the next 2 years or so all infantry should be equipped with this as the osprey has been deemed too heavy for long patrols and assaults. I personally cant wait, when the new clothes, helmet and this carrier are all on general issue, we might actually start looking like modern army finally! Darkchild
  16. not really, just because you want to be quiet doesnt mean you wont need a support weapon if it goes loud. Darkchild
  17. Looks like cielini village in Brecon to me. I was there last week, i laughed when my blokes were picking up BBs and wondering why they were laying around everywhere. I was thinking how much id love to airsoft there. Darkchild
  18. Hi, the team i regularly skirmish with use a GAYcu/TetrisPAT loadout. So i figure i should buy one, for uniform purposes. Anyone know where i can buy an issue ACS? Just to be clear i hate the cam but love the way its built, so i can live with it. Darkchild
  19. a week or so before should stand you in good stead. My team mates usually book for me but i think they do it about a week before. Darkchild
  20. Ground Zero urban at Sopley. It IS good! small games of about 40 people, fast and intense gaming with f**ckloads of pyro, i love it. It is a nice contrast to GZ woodland, which is all bushy tracks with an average of over 200 players. I heartily recommend it. Darkchild
  21. Thanks mate. Darkchild EDIT: pics of mostly me, today at GZ sopley. Darkchild
  22. looks noice, how tough is it? Here's pics of me in my darkened desert dpm taken today, more in the games/field thread. that wasnt posed, i was just daydreaming between games. Darkchild
  23. I am made of fail. My supplier is messing me around, as predicted. I know it dont mean much to you guys but i said i would do something and it annoys the hell out of me that i cant follow through on it yet. I will get to the bottom of this tomorrow, i hope its just a case of late delivery. Pics will be up as soon as i get the kit. Darkchild
