-Drake- Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Thank you, as I've wanted to say, it's just a game, but perhaps I should go with a less.. controversial ( ? ) impression. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do a civialian contractor impression or something God only knows why u wanted an IRA impression setting the contravorsial issues aside they basicly wear DPM and a pair of jeans heck half the rentals i see wear the same......

Skarclaw Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I'm not sure where I stand, sure dressing up as a terroist for a game may not be in the best taste, but at the same time, actors act as terroists in films often for our entertainment. Link to post Share on other sites

Cyber Soldier Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I forgot to mention, if you want to do an impression of IRA, Unionists or British Army when the fighting was worst you'll want Thin Lizzy blaring in the background Link to post Share on other sites
Vice Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 It hasnt been mentioned much, but you're forgetting the crucial part of the loadout, Guiness and a nasty attitude. I did a picture to help you see what you should look like. Note the PKM and guiness, two weapons you should not be without. Dont forget the balaclava too Link to post Share on other sites
Onechance Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 My putfile isn't working May be something to do with the photos being took with a mobile? I do not support the IRA in any way or form, this is jusy my impression i did like in a minute See below Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I have absolutely no problem with someone going for an IRA loadout, or indeed any loadout. It's fancy dress at the end of the day. Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyMoFo Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 ill happily second what Pablo said, plus you can do any loadout and offend someone... for instance, when the US have had thier fair few freindly fire insidents in Iraq, the families of the british people killed could be offended by someone doing a US loadout... similarly if a family member of a US troop who was killed in a freindly fire insident by the British then they may well be offended by a British loadout... my point is not everyone is going to be happy... may i point out that the IRA are past tence (i sincerely hope) so your first post is a little wrong. also, i recently watched an RAF training video, which portrayed the IRA as wearing old dpm's with balaclava's or dpm trousers with black fleecie tops, or jeans and dpm tops, or a mix of both, and balaclava's all round, or shamaghs (sp?) and AK varients..

madnuke Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I think theres a line to be drawn, the IRA killed a hell of a lot more people than on 9/11. I feel this is bad, just down the road was the Manchester and Warrignton bombings, in the Warrington bombings children died it made the IRA in a very negative view. Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 The RAF killed a helluva lot more people than that too during WW2. Wouldn't stop me wearing their gear (and my dad was in the RAF and the Army). We dress in a military style, ergo we look like the military or paramilitary. These people kill people - for various motives. No matter what you wear, you look like a killer. I know that most people don't join the military in order to kill people, but they are still joining an organisation that kills people. If you accept that it's okay to dress like a soldier in a "legitimate" state military, why not in an "illegitimate" non-state paramiltary? It's just clothes, after all.

Jagdraben Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I think theres a line to be drawn, the IRA killed a hell of a lot more people than on 9/11. I feel this is bad, just down the road was the Manchester and Warrignton bombings, in the Warrington bombings children died it made the IRA in a very negative view. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And the Marines have killed women and children in Iraq, execution-style (actually, the investigation is still on going). That's not going to stop anyone from wearing MARPAT or MCCUUs. (There will be an edit shortly to deal with the W-SS comment.) EDIT: Really? That's a revisionist theory! Perhaps the US Marines believe they are fighting to make George Bush's Oil Baron backers even richer...Oh, wait.... Cheers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> History is nothing but a series of revisions gained through newly looked at evidence, with new political views, and new theories. Given the main recruitment method used ('Come kill Communists!', 'Save the Fatherland from the Soviet Union!' and 'Save the World from Communist Oppression!', and so forth) and the attempt by the government of Estonia to build a monument to the soldiers of the Waffen-SS who died trying to 'save' them from the Soviet Union... it's probably a safe bet to say that a great number of them were in it to fight Communism. It's only fault (from a certain Ann Coulter-esque view) is that it was born a decade too soon. If the Waffen-SS had been born in the 1950s, it would have recieved funding from NATO, and be lauded in the movie theaters to this day as being an organization of heros and freedom fighters.

PlasticMag Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 What the hell is the problem with the IRA loadout? I have a Talibani loadout, and if someone wants to bleat about it being insensitive, it's just a game and they need to get over it. Welcome to life, lesson 102 - people won't always like your choices. It's up to YOU to make them, and for others to tell you what an idiot you are. Go for it, do a nice simple IRA loadout (not hard, really) and post a pic up on this forum, because I'm looking forward to it. To all the people complaining about the IRA, I think they're poopies too, but ya know what? I don't care if he dresses as them, as long as he understands why people would object. *edit - Poopies? WTF, word filter! Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Simple as this. The question asked was "how do i make an IRA loadout?" Either straightforward answers please or i'll lock this. Link to post Share on other sites
PILMAN Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Ok back on topic if you want to do a terrorist loadout this is what most of Hamas wears, I think it should give you a "general" idea if you really want to go forward with it. Link to post Share on other sites
The Waco Kid Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I think theres a line to be drawn, the IRA killed a hell of a lot more people than on 9/11. I feel this is bad, just down the road was the Manchester and Warrignton bombings, in the Warrington bombings children died it made the IRA in a very negative view. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unlike before when they had been considered cuddly lovable rogues who could be trusted to look after the kids & do the ironing. Why would being dressed as a "bad guy" of any type be considered unethical in an airsoft GAME? Do a "Armed robber" loadout that would be identical but with out any inferred ideology attached. Just don't dress in Dutch football kit. Link to post Share on other sites
Cyber Soldier Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Those Hamas pics are quite interesting. Generally speaking though the IRA aren't as well equipped or trained as Hamas militia. edit: Spelling Link to post Share on other sites
dezshearer Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Right, i personally don't see any problem with doing a "terrorist" load out of any kind, be it Middle Eastern or Western/European. As long as you don't take it seriously.. Besides, they're pretty much all the same. A mix of army surplus, civi clothes and an AK. But remember this, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Edit: spelling Link to post Share on other sites

Pablo Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Sooooooo, to answer the question: Black balaclava DPM's Pretty much any gun. Hey, I've been known to wear that combo! Link to post Share on other sites
dezshearer Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Okay, on topic, you got it.. Jeans/Plain Colour Fatigues. Camo Smock/Jacket of some description Balaclava or Baseball cap & bandana/necktie thing Random footwear. Any sort of rifle is acceptable, but an AK or UZI would look better. Just a bog standard terrorist loadout, they're all the same. There's no point in putting a label on it. That's just asking for trouble in my honest opinion. This thread has just annoyed me quite a bit, it's a tad insensitive, but i'm more annoyed about people talking about the paramilitaries (whatever side) from this country when they actually have no idea what they are talking about. This thread should probably be locked to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites
