In the UK the most common term for Vacuum Cleaner is Hoover. Hoover is the brand name that stuck, in the same vein Armalite has become the sort of catch all for rifles that look very much like a member of the family. We cant include the scar as its come from a different lineage altogether. The similarity is the world gun markets response to the fact that US armed forces procurements would rather buy rifles that are very similar to operate to existing units instead of paying out for retraining the entire armed forces to use a different system. Shame really as I find the setup on armalites t

Supprised me too as its bloody gorgeous! What work was done to create it?

14 mags isnt too bad tbh, i'm a fairly conservative shooter, and I go out with 8 midcaps atm (moving up to 13 soon), and have to reload a couple of mags on the long afternoon games but a full compliment should keep me going without having to carry spare bb's and loading kit. I could use hicaps but, hicaps rattle. It takes me longer to wind on a mag than it does to reload, I could wind whilst firing... but that means im not really concentrating on firing. 40 mags though?!?

Where can those be bought? I've looked high and low and have yet to see a sniff of one.

This is the odd thing, I thought standard issue was G36 licensed copies? The use of G3's here pose all sorts of questions. I think i've also found my next project gun

The coveralls where from www.ansontactical.com. About 60 quid, and a replica of one of thier lines of assualt suits.

Its called "Pugachev's Cobra". A tail slide is where you fly upwards until you run out of energy and then free fall backwards. And yes a Russian fighter has crashed into the ground whilst attempting a Cobra at an airshow ( performed the manuever at too low a height and didnt have enough energy at the end to recover )

now now. They're kitted out like that because every round is a potential life taker. Those guys are carrying 15 potential deaths each in there, 30 in total. Every piece of lead that leaves the barrel through the business end has so much depending on it that taking away the instinct to blart away through 30 rounds on auto has been removed at every step of the way.

Kit still very much WIP. Getting a Pop-stud SWAT vest soon, a better balaclava, and a drop leg MP5 pouch, PASGT Helmet and maybe some goggles. Oh and some replica SAPI plates to replace the very large books in my plate carrier

No that's a hernia...

I would say looking at that picture and looking at the many other pictures of merc's in Iraq (yes merc's, PMC is just another layer of spin). That what a contractor is wearing makes no bloody difference at all. An insurgent see's something like the poor lad pictured above he'll see a westerner armed with western equipment and clothing... he could just as easily be special forces, hell if your deluded enough to think that America is run by the devil and that what your doing is allah's will you could probably think he was a regular. I would imagine a contractors personal loadout would be

Heres the final armpatch my lot at Team SLAG have agreed on... all we need to do now is find somewhere nice n cheap to stitch them.

Crazy innit... its almost as if thier designed to do that.... Abelis btw... that look sweeeeeeet. I'm incredibly jealous at the moment as i've been dieing to jump into my German Winter Camo's for a skirmish bloody boring British weather.

OOOOOH OOOOOOH this must be the new Glock Escher I keep hearing about

Photo's of me and my team prior to and at Lightfighter Urban in Sheffield.

The KSC Mk.23 requires its own special silencer. The mount point is larger than the standard 14mm. Oh and you cant really be quiet in airsoft when someone gets hit they usually say something on the lines of "hit" or "OUCH!" or on occasion "AAAAAARGH ME NADGERS!!!".

Im still at a loss as to describe how cool that look is. One of the best i've seen on these forums. Oooooh theres an idea... Arnies "what am de best gear?" awards.
