Transformers! Robots in disguise!

[Trooper Cooper]

 

Anyone else think that USAF shirt is cool? I fancy one myself. Source? Or was it made for the production? :\

[Jagdraben]

I would imagine that you could do a CafePress one, easily enough. Or simply walk into any custom t-shirt place and have one made.

 

This is apparently the official version.

Recruiters give 'em away for free. Give one a call or do 50 push-ups at a local High School cafeteria. Chances are you'll get one.

I have a replica rangers vest, they are wickedly good.

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I have got a question concerning the size. Is Medium actualy a "medium" in size? I'm just wondering about this because these repro gears made in asia seems to have different standard than "average standards".(most often found on bodyarmor replicas.) How do you find this issue with your repro(milspex I suppose?) range vest?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

BTW. transformer rocks. I hope they make a sequal.

[Jagdraben]

Hey, noobling, they're making two. Wake up and read the news sometime! >

I wish someone did a 1:1 replica vest of the Crye Body Armor

[Fellowz]

There is a similar one by Krukspec http://krukspec.com/images/copy%203.jpg

 

also another guy on the ASCUK forums had had an almost exact replica made by a german company, but he hasnt told anyone whom, incase crye found out and started getting nasty about it.

 

if crye do start selling them to the airsoft market they would run around the £3000 mark.

 

so Crye either has to lift the copyright on the armour and sell the idea to a company that will produce them for the airsoft market or we need to rob Crye.

 

either way is good.

 

but if Crye sell's the design it would be well worth the money for the company who bought it, becasue there are so many airsofters who want that armour.

[Jagdraben]

If Crye makes an airsoft Battle Chassis and Blast Belt, they won't run at $6000USD, period, full stop, end of argument.

 

Oh, and the Krukspec looks about as much like the Battle Chassis as a swiss army knife looks like a Leatherman.

[Fellowz]

well one chasis costs at the least $3000 so do you think that Crye would cut that by 80% just for airsofters? no. they wouldn't even make a chasis just for Airsoft. so even if they are available to the airsoft market as RS gear, they would sell them at for the same price if not more becasue they are seperate orders and not one large contract were they would offer a discount for however man hundreds they sell.

 

As for the KrukSpec, i said it is similar, due to the front and back panel shapes. but like you said it is nothing like it.

[Jagdraben]

They would cut it by 80% because:

A-It doesn't need to be made to the same specs, and;

B-It wouldn't need to be made of bullet resistant materials, nor would it need a plate carrying pocket.

 

Would it be expensive? Yes. But it would also be among the best designed MOLLE vests on the market.

[Thorbard]

But why would they make an "airsoft spec" one?

Answer: they wouldn't. There is no point for them.

[Jagdraben]

Yes, there is: More money.

 

They can sell them to airsofters, movie studios, and Mil/LEO/PMC/anyone else who want a less expensive version of the Crye Battle Chassis, but don't necessarily need or want the additional protection that the real thing provides.

 

Remember, we're talking about a small company that turns out most of its finished products in small quantities.

[Thorbard]

Why not go ask them and see what they say?

[Fellowz]

i 2nd that.

[Jagdraben]

Because rumor is that they're working on one.

[Thorbard]

Rumour isn't really enough though, is it?

[Jagdraben]

Meh. I'll buy one if they do, I'll buy something else if they don't. You're probably better off with something else that's real and in MultiCam than in a close-but-not-very-close clone. The characters in Transformers are more likely to wear something in MultiCam by DBT, TT, or Eagle, than in a poor-looking replica.

[Fellowz]

got a link on this airsoft chasis? or any info at all? i am interested to see what has been said.

[Forze]

It'll probably be one of the protypes of the Begadi one mentionned in a post some months ago.

[Fellowz]

do you have a link?

[MinisterofDeath]

Well why couldn't Crye sell their license to produce their Body Armor just like they've sold the license to produce multicam?

 

Someone could make a non-bullet proof version strictly MOLLE vest and sell it for around $400.00 and make a killing. The reason the real deal are expensive is the fact that its made to be a level III vest.

this is my homemade version of a urban digital crye vest. still working on the crye helmet. it wasn't as difficult as i thought it would have bin to make. it took a little online research and reading my girlfriends sewing machine manual. got about 10 hours in it now. for padding i just used yoga mat. as for the plates and plastic i will hopefully cast them tomorrow

[Dentonboy]

'Transformers' indeed kicked *albartroth* (my eyes had orgasms) and the loadouts seen have surely elavated Crye Precision even higher.

 

I loved the scene where there was MARPAT, ACU, Temperate and Multicam all in a row (on the Dam) - Camo-porn!

[Jagdraben]

Here's a ponderment: What modifications were done to Capt. Lennox's 1911? All that I remember is that the hammer looked like it was a cut-down ring hammer.

[supercilious]

The guys who designed the kits in the movie have a true appreciation for military porn.
