Verymanynames Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 I smell a lot of hypocrisy here. Omg $2500 on a vest! What a noob lolroflcopter!!11one eleventyone This is airsoft, since when did prices ever make sense? We pay $1000 for CA M249s that perform the same as $600 star ones. We buy guns we dont need, mags we dont need, gear we dont need all the time. Airsoft is 90% about looks and 10% about functionality. Personally I think that system looks damn cool and if I had the money I would buy it. Link to post Share on other sites
Crandall Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 We're not being hyporcrits, spending $2500 on a vest is too much money, A lot of airsofters won't spend $2500 in airsoft stuff ever! Let me break down your statements compared to me "We pay $1000 for CA M249's that preform the same as $600 star ones" The Star version is plastic, and (AFAIK) has a lot more problems "We buy guns we don't need" I only have one gun, and I do need that or else I wouldn't be able to play airsoft "mags we dont need" I need all 10 of my STAR mags, or else I would die quickly "gear we don't need" I need my boots, pants, shirt, hat goggles, and my vest. My vest only cost me about $150 too for the pouchs and everything. A hell of a lot better then just a Plate carrier looking thing in multicam that costs $2500 "Airsoft is 90% looks and 10% about functionality" Every bit of my kit is used every game, every pouch has a pourpose. My new load out looks *beep*, people have told me it looks *beep* and I agree, but its comfortable as hell so Im not gonna change anything. "Personally I think that system looks damn cool and if I had the money I would buy it." Why? Why spend $2500 for a new camo system that doenst even work that well? You probably don't even have matching BDU's (correct me if im wrong) and without the BDU's, why buy the vest? I can think of so many other things airsoft related to buy instead of Crye Armor Chassis.

PariahWolf Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 <what crandell said> I can think of so many other things airsoft related to buy instead of Crye Armor Chassis. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow! self centred Anyway I think he was referrring to geardoes. If you had connections to get this vest then you would be able to get the BDUs to go with it. Lots of people have more guns than they could carry, some peoples collection probably is over $2500. I would rather have one gun and that than 7 guns. Link to post Share on other sites
Crandall Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 If you had connections to get this vest then you would be able to get the BDUs to go with it. No *beep*, but I'm not dishing out $2700 for a vest and BDU's. You don't need connections for Multicam BDU's, SKDTac carry them. PS, Why can't people spell my name? It's Crandall, not Crandell and no Crandal. Its there 2 times, one where my username is, and one on the quote box. Also, how the hell am I self centered? Is it because I personally can think of many other things to spend $2500 on? Hell, give any airsofter $2500 and see what they think. I can almost guarntee they won't think "I think I'll spend it all on the Crye Armor Chassis, which doesn't seem to be any better then other Plate Carriers besides the fact its in MULTICAM!"

Btw, even with a 600 + PSG1 held a centimeter from my chest, i think that rig is completely unescessary. Seriously, it looks like he's wearing Kevlar half-plate. ONi Link to post Share on other sites
systema Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 This is airsoft, right? What in the hell does somebody need a $2500 vest to get shot at by plastic pellets traveling at 300-500 fps? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well yeah, I mean who really even needs gear for airsoft in the first place.

Or maybe you failed to read the rest of the thread properly. I was joking about being self centred because you compared that dudes post to you. You certainly aren't the average airsofter so your view point does not apply to eveyone. Multicam is the best American camouflage and this vest must be special because it was close to be adopted by the US. It is obviously better otherwise they would not be able to sell any at that price.

Crandall Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Well yeah, I mean who really even needs gear for airsoft in the first place. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I do, I need to keep my mags, flashlight, bb's, speedloaders, water organized.

Sure its great for mildly vegetated deserts, and forests with less shade and trees, but where I play the stuff would be balls. Link to post Share on other sites

Kukailimoku Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 By "having the money" it means being able to buy all that ###### you mentioned AND a ton of guns AND the Crye stuff. But if I just had 2.5k I'd agree with you. ....and stop misspelling Crendol's name. It's not hard people! Link to post Share on other sites
Crandall Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 But if I just had 2.5k I'd agree with you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats what Im saying, people are going "If I had $2500, I'd buy this up" which is just a dumb thing to do. If I had a lot of money I'd buy one, but not if I only had $2500. Link to post Share on other sites
Verymanynames Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 CR4d411 You are the exception to the airsoft rule, someone who does not go overboard like most of us. All Im saying is that people are treating this vest like the guy paid $2500 for a burlap bag. Its a nice vest. If I had $2500 right now would I buy it? No, because I need a lot of stuff right now. But if I had $2500 and was deciding on something fun to buy this would be up there. Link to post Share on other sites

Hissing_Sid Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Is this 'congrats on earning much more than me?' or 'congrats on obtaining something illegally'? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It might be 'congrats on having a mum who can sew'.

Personally I think that system looks damn cool and if I had the money I would buy it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe in your head. Personally, I buy a gun, tune it up to 1J, stick a scope on it and wear BDUs either blagged off mates in the army or bought for under a tenner from the local surplus shop. See, when people start parading around in gear like this, people who say it's wrong or stupid just get accused of being jealous and they get told "it's his money and he can do what he wants" etc. Thing is, wear it and play in it if that's what floats your boat but posting pictures of it on a website and then worshipping it is utter boll0cks. I would be more impressed if the guy had made it himself. What else can you deduce from looking at an airofter wearing $1000 of kit?

PlasticMag Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 *groans* As for me, give me $2500, and here's what I'd get: Guarder AKS74U (assembled) -TK Twist Barrel -1j upgrade 8 proper G&P midcaps 2 RPK mags 2 STAR hicaps to fit INSIDE RPK mags 6Sh92 in VSR and I'd be done. The rest goes in the bank. Link to post Share on other sites

LoneWolf Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I think that the Scorpion MultiCAM looks and performs great, and would especially suit those in dry forests. I'm sure gonna get a pair, but maybe not from Crye, and a CoyoteBrown tac vest to go with it. Cheers, Mike ™ Link to post Share on other sites

Blazer Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 So exactly what is the problem here? One guy has $2500 and bought some gear. Another guy refuses to buy more than one gun and some BDUs etc. And the point is what? I'm failing to understand the love? Link to post Share on other sites
Agent47 Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I might have to agree. Isn't geardoism the art of going to far? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it can depend - for some people - it's fun - for others probably all that gear does serve a purpose: if you ever saw me you probably would scream "geardo" but I have it for a reason: Helmet - I need something for my head in case I fall over and I figured the MICH would cut it. RAV - Looked for a comfortable modular vest I could take off easily as well as put a lot of gear on and has the most body coverage - at this time I never heard of the CIRAS, and I didn't like my Interceptor...(waiting until the Armor Chassis is available) Pouches and mags - I'm usually the one of the last guys alive in most games and I don't know why... head cover/balaclava - in case it gets cold or some chav with the unspeakable FPS shoots me BDU - could use the pockets for holding my gloves and balaclava and other things, and to keep my kneepads from falling down...racer collar to keep things from falling down my shirt...slanted pockets for easier access... and then soon a liberator - sturdy headset that I don't have to worry about... for multicam - a camo so I can go anywhere and not have to worry about being in the desert for California...
