Reincarnation... Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Possible, but I doubt it. He probably wouldn't go "hey I'm going to reload now even though I still have ammo." When given the opportunity to reload/top off, why won't you? You have to check out the choreography of the scene to really understand the context. I really suggest watching the movie, cool movie imo. Anyways, less OT, more custom gear. Anyone have any tips on working with kydex? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richwatts2002 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Possible, but I doubt it. He probably wouldn't go "hey I'm going to reload now even though I still have ammo." Its called a tactical reload!!!! if you know your low on ammo in your mag you reload regardless & move the empty mag to either your empty mag pouch or as in the movie discard the mags for fresh full mags! no professional knowing that they were running low would let there weapon fully empty as a full reload means having to go thru your stop weapon checks! & anyway its a movie so the fact that they did a reload was frankly amazing considering most movie weapons have infinite ammo while in a fire fight!

DarkLite Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Possible, but I doubt it. He probably wouldn't go "hey I'm going to reload now even though I still have ammo." Better to have 15 rounds now than 6 rounds now and 15 later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gooberz Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I see. Of course, it's not like a fresh round has to be chambered or anything like that. The Cleric Sidearm isn't actually a Beretta in the movie, it fires straight away. If I remember correctly it's treated as though it's automatic at some parts. It's a scifi movie, they even use a WA2000 as a shotgun. Real life rules (I suppose "Physics" would be a better term) don't exactly apply to films. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lizzard Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 When given the opportunity to reload/top off, why won't you? *snip* Of course, but it would appear as if he's reloading during the firefight. In that situation, it wouldn't make as much sense to pull a "tactical reload" in the middle of a firefight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gooberz Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Of course, but it would appear as if he's reloading during the firefight. In that situation, it wouldn't make as much sense to pull a "tactical reload" in the middle of a firefight. If you haven't seen the movie, he's essentially DANCING THROUGH A HAIL OF BULLETS. Realism isn't a big deal, it's sci-fi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unit 318 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Doesn't that velcro make your cheek uncomfortable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spiggy_ Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Modified Arktis 1602 side with pals molle: during the work: End with pouches: During a pause of the game: I added 2x2 magazine pouch and a foldable spentmag pouch instead of the usual Arktis pouches. This let me keep the pouches higher than usual in that side (and to go in kneeling position easyer) keeping the vest a little low (to have easyer access to the back pouches).

Gooberz Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 My local Wal-mart actually had some. Probably not as tough as the real deal, but alot cheaper. Back it with canvas or cordura and it's good to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Jon Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 whipped up a custom concealment cloak type affair: and in a more natural setting, perhaps i should have added more green: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lerch Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) Got a friend of mine to do some work for me Sewn pockets on the upper sleeves of my field shirts. And velcro to the pocket flaps of my rainjacket. Maybe not new to you guys, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on my base with this stuff done Edited September 17, 2009 by Lerch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Jon Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I can still see you... its almost like im the subject of the photo. although yes in hindsight it needs more green. then again airsoft is a fashion show, and no one else has it, i guess that's a positive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wilfire Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 New bag hot off the sewing machine. First bit of kit I have made my self. Quite pleased with it despite the rubbish stitching in places. Designed to hold the few bits and pieces I need for a CQB game, a few spare MP7 mags, a radio and some pyro, nothing more, nothing less. Despite how it looks that long mp7 mag doesn't actually stick out the top as far as it appears to. Might add a bit of padding to the strap on the shoulder area. Undecided about a zip at the moment, as I don't plan on using this for every day stuff and when playing I need quick access I have left it off for now. If any one is really interested I'll post a guide in the project section of how to make one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 may I suggest velcro closure rather than going for a zipper? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
