My water bottle is in my utility pouch (r/hand side) Zeroone STILL have not got my SA80 yet And i have scary eyes because im a scary person. TBH im only wearing them because one of my SF buddies got them for me (trops are their working dress) the pouches are completely inaccessible. I have to take the bandoleer off to get to them. the point is, i can re-plen myself in the field with essentials like mags, ammo, batteries, without leaving the playing area and without carrying a daysack. It has exactly what i need in it. I just switch stuff around when there's a l

Alliness saves lives Brother!! There are more pics of me today in the "in the field at a game" thread (shameless plug) Thanks for the compliment, i thought i'd mix it up a bit old school with the MOLLE gear, pleased at how it turned out. I should have taken the shots at the end of the day when i was sweaty and covered in dirt though, would've looked much better! EDIT: here's another one i like. This is not posed by the way. Darkchild

Ah! I see, thats ok dude Darkchild

Me? i have the same gun in every single picture. Darkchild

Me and friends at GZ today It was a hot day! Darkchild

Me, today, at GZ (minus my SA80 ) Darkchild

this is my current loadout. I would be rocking it with an SA80 by now, but it hasnt turned up yet Darkchild

you people dont understand kit procurement. A UOR is a one of contract negotiated to sate a particular need, ie the need for better optics ala the ACOG. this was purchased with no doctrine in place, no pamphlet being written, no training package, no spare parts, no spare sights to train troops outside of theatre and no promise to Trijicon to purchase anything more. the Elcan is the replacement for the SUSAT, it is a MUCH bigger contract, being developed with full support to completely replace SUSAT. (FYI, the Specters are more expensive than the ACOGs) The MOD have not spared expense in

I'll put this here so people stop PM'ing me about it. The British ACOG was supplied as you see it in pictures. The "mount" is fixed and is not removable, and was bought from Trijicon exactly how you see it. If you want a source on the mount, your only option is to ask trijicon themselves as we in the trials world dont care, as long as the kit meets its requirements. Darkchild

Sorry bud, i dont readily have access to issued ACOGS, as they are not on trial and as they are UOR kit, they are in theatre or with operational units (ITDU only has 2 of them). My personal weapon at ITDU has a SUSAT on it. @Panoptes: looking good there! I'm still waiting for mine Darkchild

I work in the one place that ALL gucci infantry kit comes through, it'd be rude not to!! EDIT: do you have any pics of your new ARES? Are they any different to the old ones? Darkchild

I will do but be warned, mine's gonna be a little different. Darkchild

Buy specter, put doctor sight on top. This is literally what the MOD are doing. The specter model is the older one with a fixed x4 mag (we didnt go for the variable magnification variant as it failed the cold weather trial and the adjusting levers snapped off on some examples). As for the Doctor red dot, its screwed in top with a little machined bracket (and not very well machined, i might add), would still be easier to achieve than getting an ACOG sight mount. When i get my Airsoft L85 (still waiting for ARES to send it) im just getting an specter and not bothering with the red dot.

nobody asked me. On a lighter note, if you want to be ahead of the curve, get an Elcan Specter, as its the next issue scope being phased in starting end of this year. ACOGs were always a UOR (urgent operational requirement) and were never going to be fully supported. Darkchild

you know those mounts were only produced in specific batches and shipped with the ACOGS. Outside of getting a real issued ACOG, your chances of aqcuiring an SA80 scope mount are next to zero. Darkchild

Sunday's game at GZ. First time somebody has caught me on film in ages! I'm at the back with the digital woodland UBACS on. The guy in the foreground is Marcus and it was his birthday. He was subject to a lot of "blue on blue" throughout the day Darkchild

Then dont post incorrect assumptions about soldiers painting their weapons. I couldn't care less about your gun. Darkchild

Yeah, because we would want our triggers, cocking handles, bolt assemblies, cheek rests, gas parts etc spray painted. Seriously, dont comment on things you know nothing about. Darkchild

surely thats a prerequisite of being an airsofter? Darkchild

Fatal, that guy to the left of you looks like his kit is falling apart. I like your rig. Darkchild

You sir, are awesome. Darkchild

I know what one you are referring to, it looks green. You must have a dodgy monitor mate Darkchild

but the cheek rest in question doesnt look yellow, or tan. It looks green. Darkchild

Dont get me wrong, im not slating your choice of gear, its just as a long term dropleg user i find your reasons for disliking them hard to swallow. Have you tried double droplegs on one belt? i find using the left leg for ammo balances the pistol holster brilliantly. Darkchild

I've never owned an omega holster so i wouldnt know, but i do know that serpas and safarilands do not budge. I've worn droplegs on multiple operational tours and never had one slip or come loose, regardless of how much I run. that's why I assume you haven't worn it correctly. Darkchild EDIT: i do like your kit though, brings a very unique look to airsoft.
