DarkLite Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Advice aside though, that's a good looking kit, well done. If you're anything like me when I was 18, then you could probably sit around playing video games all day stuffing your face with milk, chocolate, biscuits and cake and not put on a single pound, so don't worry about your weight. Eat plenty of meat and do lots of airsoft, with age the bulk will come. Lucky *bramston pickle*, you. I was 20 stone when I was 18 and I have worked really hard to get down to the 16ish stone I am now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Darklite you're built like a tank, if I were to punch your chin of +12 epicness all I'd manage to do is break my own spine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sonic Syndicate Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 The general consensus is that drop-legs of any kind tend to work best when they're as high up as possible. It minimises the restriction to your leg movement/knee joints and the amount that they swing around when you're running by bringing everything closer together and just tightening up the whole rig; so if you can, get the vertical straps that attach to your belt adjusted right down short on the holster and the dump pouch. That will also create a shorter distance between your right hand and your secondary weapon, and your left and the dump pouch, which speeds everything up that extra bit.

Eat plenty of meat and do lots of airsoft, with age the bulk will come. Makes sense, I will try putting it on my belt the next time I put on all my gear. And yes, I'm (lucky) just like you were, I play a lot of video games while stuffing my face all day and still not put on a single pound/kg. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And yes, I'm (lucky) just like you were, I play a lot of video games while stuffing my face all day and still not put on a single pound/kg. If your gear permits you to do that then yes go for it. I sling my dump pouch from the left side of my belt just slightly round the back and it works well, it's a pretty common and popular setup for various reasons. A fat tank. I HAVE TO LOSE 40 MORE POUNDS. OR I'LL NEVER BE PRETTY! D: So you're aiming for about 13st? Sounds a bit too low to me if anything, given how tall you are. Or is my slight sarcasm monitor set to mega-fail again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faint Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 P90x in your loadout! is the best way to bulk up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rogue845 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Here's a WIP: I saw the cover artwork for Battlefield 3 and at first thought it looked really cool, then I realised I could do a decent impression without much difficulty. There some fine details for me to sort out, but that's all in hand, and I stripped the rig down for the weather (not wearing a shemagh on a hot day). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue845 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 There are some things that I've changed or not done, be they either for practical reasons or simple personal preference. This loadout definitely needs a PACA under it, and I'm not wearing kneepads because I hate strap on kneepads. That Cadpat pouch had been sitting in my kit bag for years without use, and I just wanted to finally use it for something. Not sure whether this could go into the USMC or FR thread, so I'll just put it here for the Marpat. Any ideas, (constructive) comments with be appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

purviNs Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Desert and woodland all at once! Land CIRAS Firstline with 6004 etc PTW M4 CQB-R upper with KAC RAS and Eotech 14.5" upper with 12.5" DD RAS and Specter DR. Gear is based of MSOB, not an impression though. And I do need a riggers belt... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greg.R Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 I posted a topic but I thought it would be more appropriate to ask it here. So I have gained somewhat of a love for MARPAT over the past months and really want to get a loadout. Problem being I cant fork out another £200+ just to get the same kit in a different colour.... So the question I bid to you is will RG go with woodland MARPAT. If not then I guess I am just stuck with ACU, not too practical for the site I got too. Any tips or will I just look like someone dragged me through a tac-gear shop backwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
league 4 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 It looks fine. Me and a few teammates have ran it with arid marpat before, but with temperate it doesnt look too bad either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
curlyboy Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I used a OD CIRAS over my MARPAT woodlands for a while and it looks ok but is not 'real' as far as look goes. curlyboy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
