uscmCorps Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Anyways, all you guys with NVG mounts and all, do you actually have AND use nightvision for airsoft? Or do you just get the mounts to look milsim? I'm thinking I should get a helmet (MICH preferably, the one with no ears- 2001, right?), and I was just wondering if you guys get the NVG mounts just to look cool and milsim, or if you actually use NVG for airsoft. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The majority get it for looks. Not many people can afford the NVG those mounts were made for. I'm sure some do have NVGs for it, but they're few in number. Most night games I've seen people using NVGs are typically Gen 1 or Gen 2 NVGs because they're usually much more affordable (and they don't use these mounts). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank! If I get a MICH, I'll probably get an NVG mount.  Oh, btw, does anybody know of a good place to get a replica MICH for a somewhat reasonable price? And what are the good brand MICH replicas?  Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agent47 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) You must have a hard time deciding which one to wear <{POST_SNAPBACK}>  He probably juggles them and then when he loses control of them the one that lands on his head the right way is the one he's gonna wear  medic I'm assuming your 2002 has a real deal wilcox on it?

chillindrdude Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 still need to add IR strobe/counterweight pouch in the back... Â but here's a sneak preview! Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAYALA Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 WOW, all these helmets look the sechs.... Anyone know where I could buy an ICH in the US? I'm not a big fan of ordering from overseas.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poorieuser Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) Forgot to post these here I think. Â EDIT: The glue doesn't look so bad irl. Just the flash I think. Edited August 30, 2007 by poorieuser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loe Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) why use hot glue, when e6000 or shoe glue is much cleaner. may not dry as fast, but has better hold. Edited August 30, 2007 by Loe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raabhimself Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) Is your cat ALWAYS there? Â BTW nice helmet but why do you have the IR/IFF slanted? Just wondering. Edited August 30, 2007 by raabhimself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAYALA Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 WOW, all these helmets look the sechs.... Anyone know where I could buy an ICH in the US? I'm not a big fan of ordering from overseas.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry, I meant IBH, anyone know where I can get an IBH, I already have a bowman headset, I'm itching to get an IBH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poorieuser Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) 1)Because I have 500 glue sticks in a bag somewhere. Â 2)Those pictures were all taken at the sometime lol. Guess the flash makes it look different. I put my suitcase away. Now the cat wants nothing to do with me haha. As for the IR Square, I just slapped it on for the pic and wasn't paying attention. It's on correctly now fwiw. Â 3)Any of the Hong Kong sellers have cheap IBH's with the NVG mount now. Got mine from WGC. Boomarms, RSOV, and a couple others have them as well.

Loe Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 well ive noticed a lot of people do the hot glue, about 90% even military guys do, must of been easy to access for most. Like i said, id be affraid it would peal off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chillindrdude Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 is P-E-E-L...not peal... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poorieuser Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Lol. It does peel a bit if the AC is up high in my room. When I'm at a game in the heat or what not it works fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
