Azulsky Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thats the accepted rule but i think its unrealistic to think the military supply chain is that static. You look at the right pics you can find contradictions, which is something that is done at the armorer level for one insignificant reason or another. Only thing to worry about in airsoft is the mk18 spraypainted logo and the a1 lower(which you can get over because im sure, im sure there are still some around if they are still refurbing them for new mk18s as well as other CRANE projects at some point in the past) CRANE does a bunch of different projects for a number of units SEALS VBSS EOD Its not out of reason... So im not just stirring the pot....found this Link to post Share on other sites
BaBaBooey Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 A Mk18 is a complete gun issued to VBSS teams by CRANE. The Mk18 however sits on an M16A1 lower, as designated by the by the sharper cut receiver pin tabs, and CRANE markings on the right of the magwell. The Mk18 also uses a RIS, the CQBR uses the RAS. There's a lot of other cosmetic differences, but they're quite sublime, i.e like the rounded nature of the stock release, or the LMT being on only one side of the rear BUIS. Sort of. They'll put it together with whatever parts they can get. Thats the accepted rule but i think its unrealistic to think the military supply chain is that static. You look at the right pics you can find contradictions, which is something that is done at the armorer level for one insignificant reason or another. You are correct sir.

BaBaBooey Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 hah, it's amazing how you guys are unflinching in your sameness concerning gear setups, but there's a wonderful sense of 'loose justification' on when guns are right or not. Someone asked, I answered. Whatever. And we appreciate it (at least I certainly do). My intention was just the opposite...as far as I'm concerned you can assemble whatever gear the way you want to and call it whatever you want to. Carry whatever weapon you want to and call yourself whatever. I've got no more hate in me. Everyone seems to have a good time so it doesn't bother me the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 There is a difference between Knowing what is orthodox kosher Doing what is reasonable. I think the first one is very important but in the end you have to be a bit more realistic about what you are trying to accomplish AKA, unreasonable for a average person to go head hunting for an M4 lower when its so obvious what he is trying to roleplay Link to post Share on other sites
xEnterSandmanx Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 ... So im not just stirring the pot....found this VBSS or SEAL? And what holster is that? I think the strap across the chest is for a backpack. **Edit: SEAL's training foreign fighters? Link to post Share on other sites
