lovecraft25 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Whats the significance of the Boyi announcement on Airsoft News? I though Boyi-Dboys-Kalash were the same thing and they have had a steel 74U out for a while now? Or are those accessory parts? Look at the handguard Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Aye, that she does. CYMA, would you believe...I'm going to be swapping out parts on her though, putting on actual AKM grips, metal reciever, etc. I bought it off Belladonna, and all I've done to it so far is swapped out the front sight post, how it looks is down to her handiwork. we have a relationship built on AKs Link to post Share on other sites

Sturaiku Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 If I remember, some use Russian rubber (?) tourniquets and wrap them around the stock. Link to post Share on other sites

The Crunchy Bunny Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I hate to say it, but the paintjob on that AK actually look kinda good. Has that battle field improv spray job about it. Whats with the Flecktarn Drop leg holster? Link to post Share on other sites
Troubadour Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Its probably what he could get his hands on. If you ever see field pictures of Russian soldiers, they are pretty rag-tag. Link to post Share on other sites
neros131 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Its probably what he could get his hands on. If you ever see field pictures of Russian soldiers, they are pretty rag-tag.

CAPAIRMAN Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 The underfolder has a fair bit of up and down wobble, but it's still not breaking anytime soon. Really just preference, though I'd probably get the full stock if I had the choice again. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mean any disrespect ,but when I see combat photos where in a 5 man squad there are 5 different camouflages and what seems to be very little standardized gear. I am gonna call them "rag-tag".

PlasticMag Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 You do realize there's 4 or 5 different units in the pictures, right? And that it's not one unit? Looking at the entire photo set, each 'unit' has a distinct kit list. And, if you want to get even more pedantic, most of the ones using non-Russian equipment aren't Russian.

neoptolemus Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Not to be an *albatross*, but here it goes: OH NOES Look at those idiots with their stupid western styled AKs... Oh wait, those are Russian troops. Owned. Technically the first picture you posted is not of a Russian soldier. The pictures you went to the effort of linking too (hotlinking from Bratishka? tsk tsk ) are in fact from a recent anti-terror competition held by the CIS countries. Teams from the members' federal services (KGB or FSB) competed in a number of exercises including marksmanship with pistol, rifle, etc... I don't really see who is being owned. If this is your evidence for use of railed AK's, it's not particularly strong. As this is a competition, decisions of the teams would be based on the peace time, non-combat context. Pictures of teams Alfa and Vympel in the field indicate they're not really on the rail boat. If you feel compelled to justify putting all manner of ###### on your AK, that's kind of sad. You don't need the internet to approve of your purchases. Or Bratishka for that matter. Also, what is a "western styled" AK? Is there some sort of crazy paradigm I'm missing? If the VDV ran around with Eotechs would that make your day better? Baffling. I hate to say it, but the paintjob on that AK actually look kinda good. Has that battle field improv spray job about it. Whats with the Flecktarn Drop leg holster? Russian commercial equipment companies produce a lot of different patterns as you're probably aware of. One of the lest commonly seen ones is a variation of the flecktarn. It's printed by Splav, SPOSN, and I think Modox too. The holster he is wearing could very well be an APS drop leg produced by one of the aforementioned companies. I'm not too sure if it is in fact domestically made, but there's a good chance it is. Its probably what he could get his hands on. If you ever see field pictures of Russian soldiers, they are pretty rag-tag. Kind of a generalization. And a rather unflattering one too! Fineally. I just got bashed at a game for just having that same rail and EOtech on my Ak. =/ Unless you were dressed as a Ukraininian or Belarusian (or whatever country the soldier is from), the picture doesn't really justify having it. Still, you should have clocked that person in the nose for caring too much. They were probably doing maneuvers, ones that don't involve shooting. No need for a magazine then. I don't mean any disrespect ,but when I see combat photos where in a 5 man squad there are 5 different camouflages and what seems to be very little standardized gear. I am gonna call them "rag-tag". Ok, go ahead and call the premier anti-terror teams in Russia "rag-tag". The diverse range of uniforms was because it was a competition! Different teams needed to distinguish amongst themselves for the benefit of the judges as well as each other. If they all dressed the same (I'm sure you would have liked them to be in multicam ) it would be kind of hard to tell who was who. And for a picture, here's a photograph of Vympel, in the field, with suprisingly boring AK's: Link to post Share on other sites

I just want to have another go at this The two-tone uniforms that the FSB teams are wearing are actually commissioned. Yes! It is not standard practice for the manufacturer to produce them as seen. They are requested for production! Additionally the armor costs roughly 1400USD (offering level IV protection) and the helmets (offering total protection of IIIA in excess of 2000USD. The armor package alone for these specialists is in excess of 3500USD! Rag-tag indeed! Link to post Share on other sites

my_plague_666 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 OH NOES Look at those idiots with their stupid western styled AKs... Oh wait, those are Russian troops. i have been completely and utterly Owned. who cares? they still look like *suitcase*. this is airsoft, we care about the appearance of our guns, soldiers dont. if bolting something onto their gun that will minutely increase their battlefield effectiveness or up their chances of survival at the cost of the the gun's appearance so be it. in the airsoft world it's not life or death, and thus we can afford to leave our AKs plain and pretty. oh and after reading neo's posts i just had to fix your post anyhoo, MOAR PICS! i'll start. newly weathered VFC AKS74 (no sidemount), partizan suit, SMERSH rig, 1x RS converted izzy bakelite, 1x RS converted izzy plum and 2 east german bakelites . hopefully sorting out my afghan kit and a tourniquet after pay day scotch brite pads are great for weathering folks, very controllable and less scratchy that sandpaper or wire wool.
