Belladonna Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Belladonna, isnt that just a variation on the UMBRELA Merc in the 2nd RE film? Anyway, Decided on Black Turtle neck top Black watch Cap Flectarn Parka OG Combat trousers Magnum hi leg boots Chi Com chest rig & AK47S for a short G3 and 58 Pattern Belt order(no yoke) for a long with a berreta in a PLCE Holster I think that would be a decent mix of Hard as FCUK and Effective soldier no as they wore night tiger pants grey bdu shirts, black flackjackets, with black SAAVs over, youll see what i mean R Link to post Share on other sites

Ubeswardog Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Danke. So have you got the gear or know where to get it? I know where to pick up Tac tigers, however it may take a month or two to get to you. You can pick them up at Tiger Stripe Products' website. They're used to large orders, so smaller ones will more than likely take a while to get to you. As you can see from this pic, they're perfect for night ops http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/ube...EStactigers.jpg Link to post Share on other sites

darkchild130 Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 In my experience a lot of Mercs (as opposed to modern PMC types) tend to wear either the camo of the former nation they belonged to or the camo of the country they are fighting in. As they are not limited by kit restrictions in the same way as militaries or even PMCs, its pretty much pick and choose what works for you. For a late 90s woodland loadout i would use an omega style vest, dpm shirt and trousers, junglies or lowas depending on the weather, shemagh and wark kit depending on weather, OD flight gloves and whatever headwear you want. Mounted to the vest i would have a webbing belt with a couple of ALICE mag pouches, buttpack and a pistol holster of some description. weapon-wise i would have an early m16 variant or if possible an xm177e2, with a browning hi-power for a sidearm. Basically, one of my close friend's dads was in the Rhodesian SAS before working in sierra Leone in the late 90s. In the pictures i have seen he is wearing pretty much what i described above, as are most of his comrades, with a mixture of m16 varients, G3s and a couple of sawn off FN MAGs for weapons. It looks uber cool! Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
Gliderrider Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 guild: i think yous confused, the merc loadout i said id try, isnt that and no, i have stars, Alice, and jill loadouts R My mistake. I wasnt sure if you meant you had the stuff from other loadouts but hadnt put it together as one ensomble or you were going to go out and get it.(What with you being a student I thought that unlikely.)

SpoonMan Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I think that I'm going to go with something like this for my pmc load out: 5.11 pants in Coyote black Patrol Fleece 5.11 ATAC boots Black Hawk patrol cap An easily concealed waist holster for your pistol, probably a Black Hawk Serpa holster And dual drop-leg platforms for magazines and whatnot For the gun I'd probably use whatever is easy and comfortable for me to use, and would work with the environment I'm in. For CQB style combat I'd use an mp5, and for woodland a g36 or m4 variant, but nothing too bulky. It is illegal for a PMC to use the camouflage currently in use in any country, so try avoid doing that. Link to post Share on other sites
StarMonkee Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Thats my old PMC load out. Replaced a few items from it now though Got new Multicam pants on the way, have two plate carriers a CB and a multicam one. Still have my wonderful shirt from topman Link to post Share on other sites
SpoonMan Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I like that one Starmonkee, it looks pretty effective. You could also add a chest rig to the loadout that I posted pretty easily. I didn't do it because I wanted to keep it as fast as possible. Link to post Share on other sites
Gliderrider Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 My name is syd, and I am a kit wh*** any way, to business, I’ve been thinking about an S African Merc impression since I read Unscathed, about a Mountain & Arctic warfare cadre Major trapped by the rebels and Op Certain death, about Op BARAS, to rescue the Irish rangers held by the west side boys. I remember reading about the Merc’s serving in sierra Leone in Combat and Survival back in the 90's, but I can’t decide on a load out that is defiantly Merc in west Africa/ Sierra Leone so any suggestions would be welcome. I was thinking DPM Tropical’s or US Jungle OG's but I want to stay away from one solid nation, the same problem with a green T shirt and the two different trousers. The only solution I can see is DPM Tropics trousers, Green/Khaki shirt with "Wild geese" rank on the epaulettes. I'm trying to pick up an SA chest rig, and Thinking again of an AK74 or Early colt carbine, backed up by a 1911, but what to wear. Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 problem is? on a skirmish field you look like just another airsofter in mismatch kit, at best, a vuagely whatever nation loadout... R Link to post Share on other sites
Gliderrider Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yep, hence my in decision. "But I really really wanna mummy. Can I please mummy." It's going to have to stay on hold till I can afford a hind isnt it? Link to post Share on other sites

mikoyan99 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 There was an ex-czech air force one on ebay a few months back for £23,000, in airworthy condition, which is fantastic for an aircraft of any type (except, perhaps microlights). Problem was it was pick up only from the czech republic and you had to get the weapons deactivated by yourself. What license is it you need in this country for a 12.7mm gatling gun? We did actually consider hiring a chopper for one of our special games, but it turns out it's illegal to fire weapons from an aircraft without permission from the CAA. cheers, matt Link to post Share on other sites
Gliderrider Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Well an FAC says no expanding ammo, so the 4 X rocket pods are out. Didnt they also have a few MI-18 Hips in sierra Leone apparently cost a million each for EO, who gave em to SLA as part of the contract. I think one of the main questions about most of the S L issue was why did NATO/UN persuade SL Gov. not to employ Mercs. post Sandline, but the military support took another 24 months to arive in force. Wouldnt BB's get sucked into the rotors in the down draft? Link to post Share on other sites
