Senor Bear Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Seemed to do the job, the ditch you can see there in one of Andy's pictures (1st and 2nd) is where he got shot out just after we took the pic, Andy was only about 9 metres in front, the group who shot him continued round from my front to my right, and didn't spot me even though I was completely exposed in the ditch. Quite pleased that they didn't hear my first shot (that missed, I was using the nbb p99 and the coldness froze the valve open), they didn't hear my second shot either luckily (from the gspec), they noticed me at the point I shot the front man though . I suppose if I had waited they would have carried on and I could have shot them from behind. If only the concealment vest came in DPM Link to post Share on other sites
The Bushman Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Nice work, but did you escape? I agree about the vest and hence why it only gets 9 out of 10 in my review. I was wishing it came in mossy oak myself Good Hunting Link to post Share on other sites

angelmaker Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I made both suits. Do you all like them or see something I could change. The range finder my spotter is using is a bushnell yardage pro 450. Link to post Share on other sites

Maveric Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Do you guys find the Laser range finders actually have enough eye relief to work effectively with goggles/glasses Great looking ghillies aswell. Cheers - Geoff Link to post Share on other sites
Trasher Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Yes, the Bushnell yardage pro w/ ESS Land Ops goggles work OK. You don't have full FOV, but aiming and reading the result is no problem. With Oakley M-frame I've full FOV. Link to post Share on other sites
angelmaker Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 The range finder in my pic is a bushnell yardage pro 450. You can use them with shooting glasses or goggles except you don't see the thing that tells you that you have a target at the top but you see the cross hairs to laz your target and the yards so it gets the job done.

TheBauer Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Same here, i use the ESS Advancer 12 goggles or the Maximumeyewear mesh goggles, and dont have a a full FOV but you can see the cross hair to aquire the target then move the range finder a bit to see the distance.

TheBauer Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 My light sniper load-out: Nice, what bag is you have have hidden under your radio and gloves? this picture made me sort all my kit out for a little photo myself; Of course i dont carry all this in game, allow to to go around giving details: TM VSR Gspec - Was original a TM VSR Gspec, pretty much everything has been replaced bar the stock and main receiver, oh and the scope rail is still the original lol. (also got a krydex adjustable cheek piece under the rear ghillie like on a m40a3 Rubber Bayonet -Occasionally used for those extra close kills, had about 7 kills with this very pleasing. British DPM Daysack -Used to hold my ghillie, going to work on its own ghillie cover so that i can be used in long games to store items in, such as objectives or food, water is stored in a camelbak under the ghillie, which is not shown, as i forgot to include it in the photo Ghillie top -The ghillie jacket i use, using a webtex concealment vest sewn into a DPM shirt, with 3d camo netting, Hessian, and plenty of vegitation hoops. Bonnie Hat -My ghillie hat, the webtex concealment vest hood sewn onto a bonnie hat, allowing no snagging and freer movement of my head when needed. Advantage Timber Boots - Real Tree boots, work better than plain black in woodland. Maruzen P99 Fixed Slide - My P99 with a shorter silencer, about as loud as the TM Mk23 Socom only smaller. ICS Black .2 BB's -For use with my sidearm the P99 12g Trip Wire Mines -Have a total of 3 of these, they are great for defense when having time to set up, again i find them useful in more longer games than the short quick games that some sites offer, they only take bout 1min to deploy each one, and good for guarding objectives and when players that trip them actually take the hit, most anoying when you see some one trip your mine and play on after looking around. 2x Mesh Goggles -Maximumeyewear.com logging goggles, 2 different size mesh, for different lighting/times of the year. both been sprayed OD/Black/Brown originally come in silver ESS Advancer 12 Goggles - Current Brit issue goggles, quite good with lenses that pop forward allowing ventilation, 3 different lenses, clear, smoke and yellow, they are nice, but still steam up slightly, but the yellow is very nice for woodland gaming, dont get used as much as the mesh due to steaming. Respirator Cyclist pollution mask - a pollution filter mask, used to protect my mouth but comfier than a full face mask. Number Clicker -Used by doormen to count how many people enter/leave for example. occasionally take mine to count the amount of hits i make, but normally dont bother as its something else to carry/do. Bushnell Yardage Pro 450 - Very nice range finder that can read meters or yards. Folding Stanley Knife - Used for cutting vegetation Hatch Replica Gloves - OD Gloves, with a leather palm used to hide/protect my hands Watch -So i can tell the time 2x Motorola GP68 - 2x 4watt radios that offer better performance to the PMR446 radios generally used by most airsofters also gives us better security and our own channels due to a license. 1x Cobra PMR446 Radio - For when contacting other users on a PMR is vital. 2x Devgru Throat mics -both have adaptors for the Motorola Radios, and 1 for the cobra radio. Belt Kit - My sniper belt kit consisting of: Left hand holster Silencer Pouch Utility pouch (this pouch is sometimes changed for a different shape pouch M4 Mag pouch (used as radio pouch) 2x Pistol mag pouches Radio pouch (used to hold 3 VSR magazines) The 4watt radios and throat mics are for myself and Staceh, Something that ive not included in the photo is my camelbak, i dont often use it in most games unless its a long long game i drink between games normally and that is fine for me. Ive also not included my ghillie trousers and i dont often wear these neither. Link to post Share on other sites
Trasher Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Nice, what bag is you have have hidden under your radio and gloves? this picture made me sort all my kit out for a little photo myself; That's a Maxpedition molle daysack knockoff, it's small, comfortable, and fits under the ghillie. Can also carry the 3L Camelbak for hot summer games. Great kitlist you have there, I see some good ideas. Realtree boots, I never thought about that.... Boots can give you away easily, the fluo orange "vibram" sign on the soles got me into trouble once. Link to post Share on other sites

CSC Maverick Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 When I cant reach with my M4: When the orange tip was still on it: I want to paint it. The ACU doesnt match my stuff at all. Im thinking completely OD green for starters. Any other suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
thewallhitme Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 camo tape. its what the real guys do. then they cam it up using cam cream to match the area. looks good though. can i ask why some people dont think it nesaccery to cam the barrel and reciever. personally i think they should be cammed before the stock.

Macragge Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'm less of a sniper role more of a spotter role. I've had this ghillie suit for about a year now. I made it myself, i think it turned out alright it's been in storage for awhile, but I finally got some pictures of it. I don't have any field pictures, hope to get some soon. I'm hoping to purchase an m14 in the next couple months, convert it into an m21 (so hard I know) and get back into the groove of things. I used to own a TM VSR-10 G-spec. I love what lots of you have done in terms of paintjobs to your rifles, and I'm interested in seeing other peoples set-ups. Link to post Share on other sites

Macragge Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Senor - Thanks for the compliment. I can't lie, I used the Bushrag.com BYO Kit, purchased for about 65$. I at first tried to dye my own burlap (and unstrung it) I got the stringing done, but the dying process wasn't what I hoped. I wasn't great at getting the colors right with my environment, so when i purchased their kit I got a little bit of everything. When I say I built it, I cut the netting, glued it on there, cut and tied my own burlap, cut the canvas patches, and sewed / painted them as well. A great deal of work was put into it, I tried to go for a US style ghillie suit, leaving the upper-back legs free, the arms free, and all of the front side free of burlap. Bauer- Thanks for the compliment man. I will try to get some pictures, but I don't live near a place to go out and pose, I only can play at field games.. which is where I don't often want attention. Especially from a camera man. Link to post Share on other sites
Echo Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Just received my ghillie suit, some quick pictures, as it is dark outside. Still has a ways to go, but for now it's good. Still needs a great deal of breaking in, hopefully this weekend. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
Senor Bear Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hide the shiny bits of your vsr (bolt handle and scope adjustment caps). Ideally, you could scrim up the whole rifle to help with your concealment. I think that ghillie looks like it will be fairly effective, depending of course on your site terrain. Note: there seems to be a large square patch of lighter material on the top of the hood that is fairly obvious. Maybe you would like to tie some darker jute/hessian into that? Up to you. Edit: that might have been better placed in the complete ghillie thread, but hey we'll let the mods decide on that one. Link to post Share on other sites
