PynkPanthyr Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Pretty much everyone is rocking tan or multicam for the body armor and pouches these days, pretty much the only dudes who still have rg are some stb and rasp dudes. Link to post Share on other sites

sbe6287 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Just got my Khaki EPC in the mail. Gonna put soft stuff in to replicate soft armor to make it appear more like an MBAV. What should I put on it for pouches? Link to post Share on other sites

Lone_Bullet Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 ^^ Shat he said. Primary mags, perhaps secondary mags, small medkit if big games ( if not, small medkit filled with in game snacks ) and medium/small utility pouch for extra BB's, battery, perhas hop tool and small flashlight. Go light. Link to post Share on other sites
Chain Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Largely Rangers do not use side arms...so no secondary weapon mags to be had (yes there are exceptions like AR, SL's, or anyone else who wants to carry one...but mainly Rangers don't use them)....And don't put snacks in a first aid kit..that's retarded. If you want to carry stuff like that, put it in a utility pouch. By "and only what you need to carry," I'm speaking in terms of stuff Rangers would practically carry on a mission. -6+1 mags. -IFAK -Sustainment gear (water, food, etc. METTTC and depending on what you want to carry. As he said, go light..) -Coms (but not everyone gets coms, so it's not the biggest deal if you don't have it. Most guys DO have coms though, so it should be a thing you might consider looking into) -Mission specific gear (breaching shotguns, Halligan tools, Roping gloves, PRL's, white lights for SSE, flashbangs/munitions) For me, BB's in loose bags ruin the immersion factor for any airsoft game (apart from the fact that we're shooting at each other with quiet inaccurate pea shooters). If you're on some sort of a hike into your objective, and you glance over to get accountability of your guys and you just see/hear bags of BB's rattling...that's stupid. Some of my kits I run a mk46/48...and to hide my BB's (because lets be honest, don't compromise your capabilities just to look cute) inside real M249/MK48 nutsacks...that way the bags are compressed (don't shake)... and when you look at a guy carrying more ammo, he's actually carrying "sacks of 5.56 or 7.62" rather than just loose bags. Just some thoughts --Nick Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 My god, Chain, that's called a practical joke. 'Life sustaining snacks'?.... I can't say you need a fully equipped IFAK when going CQB/FIBUA, since site HQ is in many cases around the corner so you could as well get some snacks into that otherwise unused medkit. Seriously, lighten up. Link to post Share on other sites

Gigueand Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Can anyone give me a rough time-table for when certain gear was being used. For example, I understand that Khaki MBAVs and multicam uniforms are standard for 2011(?)-2014 RG MBAVs and multicam uniforms were standard 2009(?)-2011(?) RG MBAVs, RG RRVs and ACU prior to this? No idea where the RBAV, CIRAS type stuff falls other than neither are currently used and don't seem to have been used for quite some time. I've been browsing through this thread as well as some similar threads on DevtSix and GearWhore, but since photographs are rarely annotated and tend to crop up time and time again it's difficult to get a grasp on what equipment was being used in what time periods.

OverKiller93 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Here are some pictures from last week, so this is about as current as it gets. Keep in mind downrange gear will be a lot different than the gear they use to train back in the states: Edit: Anyone have any idea where to get RLCS shoulder pads? I can't find any for the life of me. Link to post Share on other sites

Pkekyo-Nor Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 He is. Putting snacks in a first aid kit is so colossally retarded, I'm quite frankly baffled anyone would come up with it. Link to post Share on other sites
-MOOSE- Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 If you have an IFAK pouch you should definitely keep some form of First Aid kit in there, because even while airsofting, serious injuries could occur and in that case it is a good idea to keep your medical gear free from other items that are not that essential. I would recommend every airsofter to keep a First Aid kit with them just in case someone were to be injured, and I hope that does not happen. If you are in need of getting into your medical kit, you do not want to take the time to seperate the other clutter you have in the pouch. That alone is a good enough reason to keep a pouch specifically for medical gear. Any other kit can easily be placed in another general purpose pouch. However, it would be good of some members to explain their position on what such a topic rather than just saying that it's retarded, even if they think that it's common sense. I'm not trying to moderate this thread, as it is not my place to do so, but there should be more constructive comments and criticism here. After all, I do not think that anyone wants this forum to turn into MP.net or Lightfighter.

AG1212 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Depending on where you are airsoting, carrying a first-aid kit is pointless. I know in Ireland most sites won't be too far away from a hospital, so you're better off not touching the person until help arrives. If you are remote, I hope to god you have some sort of first aid certification (remote emergency care here), otherwise you might just make things worse. So what's more retarded than having snacks in a first aid kit? Having a first-aid kit and attempting to use it when help is nearby and on the way and when you have no clue what you are at. The staff on site should have a first aid kit anyway, and should have some sort of training. /rant. Link to post Share on other sites
