TheFull9 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Was over at one of the raf reg squadrons on camp today, saw a poster up on a wall detailing fully the new upgrades to the L85 package, not sure if it was bang up to date but here's a full list of the changes that I can remember: -ACOG 4x scopes with specialised mount and attached docter style reflex sight. -Railed handguard -Grip-pods -Laser/torch unit as standard to go in a similar place to the current screw-on model (presumably a new 20mm mount version) -Vortex flash eliminators Apologies this isn't really DPM related, but I figured a few people might be interested in the details.

RSM Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Vortex flashiders? Whats wrong with the old one and how does that affect bayonet fixing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) No idea, custom flash eliminators are more of an American civvie shooter thing so I couldn't tell you what the effects are in terms of recoil/flash/noise without looking them up, but I'll guarantee they wouldn't have spent the money on them if there wasn't a case; the standard one is a pretty ancient design to be honest. Shouldn't affect bayonets I don't think, the lug that it clicks in to is part of the barrel, the flash holes won't line up any more of course, but maybe they're looking at new bayonets as well.

tom lawson Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Vortex flashiders? Whats wrong with the old one and how does that affect bayonet fixing? The vortex's eliminate a lot of muzzle flash, which is obviously an advantage at night. I guess they might have to tweak the bayonet, and BFAs as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doc_newstead Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I've got a photo of that new L85 on my phone. Didn't have an ACOG the one I used, but had all the other shiz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uba Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Pic from today´s games. Had a little high-speed-low-drag setup going there, tho it was due to the fact having only 2 magazines for WE. Notice also the face camo (being the first of May I had to make up some kind of mask). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Just thought id throw these in from while i was in cyprus on our village assault The fire team i was in and me reloading Me and my section 2IC after the assault Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grand'pa Cthulhu Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Could you help me identify my vest (bad picture, sry), it seems similar to this vest only difference are the top pouches, is it a older version general ops vest? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lerch Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) The first vest is actually a Dutch assault vest, made for the Marines IIRC, but it is favored by British troops, notably the Para's. The second vest looks to be the same type, but customized with, among other things, grenade pouches on the right side and a utility pouch on the left.

random guy Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 couple of pics of the start of my dessie gear going to add an osprey, ugl and a pair of dessie boots and a dessie helmet cover too hope you like, RG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Well its a good start, the end result should look pretty good. Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Might want to tuck the shirt in though, and tighten up that assault vest. Looks a bit messy, but it's otherwise good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 If you're going for an osprey you might want to consider the desert UBACS as well, always a good combination. Definitely with Darklite on the vest, looks like you've got a few straps and pouch fastenings dangling in the breeze there, a bit of tape or zip ties should sort you out nicely; putting time in to adjusting your LBE is always a worthwhile investment. Looks like a good start though mate, keep at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
backlash13 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 which Molle, vests/etc work well with the DPM Under armour shirt? I just find that in summer it can be way too hot to be running about with the jacket on, although ive never played in just a shirt, are they any good with the sleeves rolled down? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lerch Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Sleeves...eh? More often then not, you always have your sleeves rolled up. In hot weather you roll the sleeves one or two times, but nothing past the elbows. As for vests, the UBACS, it's made for body armour, so any body armour will work with it.

backlash13 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Sleeves...eh? More often then not, you always have your sleeves rolled up Cadets has that imprinted in my head, but to protect my arms in airsoft i wanna roll them down just wanted to know if its any good?

Lerch Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Wait...my mistake, rolled down... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I could swear I've always been taught roll the lightweight jacket to above the elbow... haven't regularly worn greens in that long I forget, but I think that's right. Anyway, of all the times I've worn CS95 it's (unsurprisingly) not often been hot enough for short- (shirt? I've heard different pronunciations) sleeve order so mostly sleeves rolled down, it's perfectly comfortable. Gives your forearms a respectable amount of protection from the undergrowth or mid-day heat; if you're like me and instantly burn this being fairly handy. Personally I think UBACS are best with full plate carrier type gear, with chest rigs and the like you end up with the t-shirt material showing which I find looks a bit gash, but that's only my opinion.

backlash13 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 What i want to get is this from flecktarn. Its cheap and i want a molle setup, but because of the design an under shirt is out of the question. Unless you know of any cheap molle, OD, plate carriers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I've got a BULLE MLE myself and I'd say just run it with your normal CS95 lightweight jacket to be honest. Gives you all the MOLLE capacity you need simply and cheaply, very easy to get on and off to. Really UBACS came about because of the need to wear large armour plates in combat theatres, there's no such requirement in airsoft, hence UBACS with plate carriers are more a style choice than anything I reckon. As someone starting out (which I guess you are) then BULLE stuff is a sure bet, it's not the cheapest but if you only buy 1 rig to use for every game it will last you far longer than you need before you inevitably buy something else. A standard set of 95s with some basic, sturdy boots and an MLE Harness is exactly what I'd have started with looking back now with hindsight, funnily enough it's almost precisely what my younger brother did get at first.
