Archive thread 13- Paddy UKs Walt hunting thread.

[Paddy_UK]

Hi there! My first post here, i've been a lurker for quite long enough I think! :)

I'm an airsofter from England in the final year of my degree in Computer Systems Engineering.

So here is my loadout of a British army paratrooper, I hope you like, though any comments or so on on how to improve would be very welcome!

Thanks all,
Paddy

Here are my two favourite:

Bye for now!

[Sabre]

Is that a utility strap under your belt? You know that is meant to pass back through the loops on the pouches, not fasten at the front?

BTW. If you ever fancy ditching plastic for lead:

http://www.army.mod.uk/para/4bn.htm

Just don't ever mention airsoft! p-)

[Bill Hearst]

Well, i like that stuff! Alright, the background could be better, but the pics are okay for "gear Pics"! ;)

The only thing you should change (together with the utility strap) is the bungee. It should be unter the loops on the side of the pouches! ;)

Btw: I've got a general question about the Diemacos within the british forces: Does the SA80 bayonet fit on that Flashhider or use the lads with an Diemaco the US M9?
Or don't they use any kind of bayonet?

[Sabre]

Never mind!

EDIT

[Paddy_UK]

Thanks for the replies so far! What were you going to say before you edited, Sabre? I really don't mind, whatever it is!

[Sabre]

It wasn't about you mate, it was in response to Bill's post, then I thought I ought not to post it.

Nothing big, nothing offensive! p-)

[Paddy_UK]

Ah right! Well, you mentioned about the utility strap; I've actually got one round the inside loops on the pouches to hold them all together, but I find using a second utility strap as a 'belt' like that helps to hold your ammunition pouches down when you're running?

[Sabre]

Ok...bit unnecessary though. Must be a pain to do up every time. Must restrict your leg movement too. I'd bin it.p-)

[Lerch]

Very nice! I think I'll have to cut down my jhat after this weekend :P

Do you not have the straps all done up on your helmet? I see the webbing hanging from the one that'd go to the back.

[bluffcove]

bont attach bungees to your ammunition pouches, it closes them.

let the ammo pouches bounce against your legs - or else fill them with heavy things as this stops them bouncing (I recommend magazines)

[Vince S]

Got this for 40$ (Cad) shipped from the UK. Cost me about 9 times more in shipping that actual price LOL

[Paddy_UK]

I don't have any bungees attached to my ammo pouches? Or are you talking to somebody else?

[Lerch]

I don't have any bungees attached to my ammo pouches? Or are you talking to somebody else?

I think he was just giving some advice not to do it...just in case you think otherwise :P

[Fergie]

BTW @ Paddy, is that a para helmet you've got, or a standard MK6? I'm guessing it may be a para helmet due to the chin strap. I've still got an old para helmet which used to belong to my dad kicking around somewhere, the old fibreglass type though, might dig it out sometime.

If your going for the para look, you might look at geting yourself a para smock (especially since your from UK, can get cold at times), and scrimming up your lid with a scrim scarf, or a helmet net.

Also, about the utility strap around your webbing, if you are set on using it, get one which does up by buckle at the front, so you dont have to weave it through every time:

http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/dpwst1nx.html

PS, what bergen/patrol sack you using?

[Paddy_UK]

Yeah, it's a para helmet. Why would I get a para smock? I know they're issued, but a lot of blokes in the regiment use windproof smocks too. As for the scrim net, I don't think all paras do that? It's also a Berghaus Munro.

[Sabre]

Why would I get a para smock?

Cos it's Airborne!

As for the scrim net, I don't think all paras do that?

Only the good ones.

p-)

[Sabre]

@ Fergie: Finally and airsofter who can set up webbing.

Might have something to do with your old man being in 3 Para mind. You going to follow in his footsteps?

[Paddy_UK]

Lol! You seem to know what you're talking about, are you in the paras?

[Sabre]

I have an insight into para mentality! :)

Beyond that I don't think there's any point in posting personal info on the web. It's easy to claim you're something you're not.

I often ask this, but what reasons would you have for not joining up (say the TA) but still having enough interest to spend your dosh on this kit? Just wondering.

[Fergie]

@ Fergie: Finally and airsofter who can set up webbing.

Might have something to do with your old man being in 3 Para mind. You going to follow in his footsteps?

I'm definetly thinking about joining the army in a few years, about 80% sure on regs, but definetly TA if I don't go full time. About joining paras, i'm not sure I have what it takes, but it is a possibility if I get my act together and start aiming towards it. If not airborne then probably an infantry regiment, not really keen on going with the engineers, gunners, sigs etc.

[Paddy_UK]

Ah, I guess not then. I didn't really spend that much on the kit, the only things I bought were the smock and the boots.

[Sabre]

How did you get hold of the other kit? You didn't pike it, did you? p-)

[Paddy_UK]

Add the daysack to that list too. Work it out mate!

[Sabre]

Stab........?

[Fergie]

Ex-army friend?

[Fergie]

I'm an airsofter from England in the final year of my degree in Computer Systems Engineering.


On second thoughts, I'd be guessing OTC?

[Paddy_UK]

Neither, oh and Fergie..I lied about that, sorry.

It's amazing to see how people can offer advice on a subject which, as has just been shown, they don't have the required knowledge of to do so. I appreciate the helpful comments given to me by some of the users on here, but please, just relax about the details. If "only the good ones" have scrim on their helmets, I guess I should hand in my notice now.

Remember, the details are not in necessarily in what you wear, but how you wear it.

[Sabre]

Steady on mate. Not wanting to have an e-bust up, but by your own admission you are the only one giving out false info. Advice is always just that, take it or leave it.

As for my posts, putting a 'p-)' indicates that you're not being terribly serious, and that readers should take the comment lightly.

[Fergie]

Paddy, what are your views on the Munro patrol sack, I've heard good reviews about them, but could you give me an un-biased view on it? Just i'm getting sick of the daysack pouches off my bergen, and they are falling to bits aswell.

Cheers, Fergie

[Roger Rabbit]

Only the good ones.

p-)

Seconded.
Scrim on helmet looks ally.

Paddy, you look far far too clean.

[Paddy_UK]

Looks ally? Wearing scrim on a helmet is down to personal preference, personally I don't like it and to go even further; the 'in-thing' to stand out from the crowd now is not to wear scrim on your lid, handy eh? Are you a serving soldier or reservist, Rodger Rabbit? (I'm going to assume you are since you used that word :))

As for looking too clean? Not entirely sure what the crack is with that comment, I wash my kit and clean my boots when they're muddy..looking after your kit is a basic skill mate. My garden isn't particularly a battlefield either.

To Fergie, they're really, really good daysacks, if you get one..my advice would be to get a zip opening sewn into the top pouch, that way you can access it from both sides. As standard, it's a bit hard to get your kit out of it without whatever else is in there falling out. Otherwise, I wouldn't use anything else. You can compress them right down too if you're not carrying much.

[Sabre]

Paddy, what are your views on the Munro patrol sack, I've heard good reviews about them, but could you give me an un-biased view on it? Just i'm getting sick of the daysack pouches off my bergen, and they are falling to bits aswell.

Cheers, Fergie

The issue daysack is better than a Munro IMO. They are more robust and have a greater capacity. You can get brand new ones off eBay for around £20. Also, as you're affiliated with the military, you can ask a serving friend to exchange it when it's knackered.

[Fergie]

Cheers Paddy and Sabre on the info, @ Paddy, I think what r rabbit meant was that ur combats are very new looking, which is no bad thing btw, but if your going for para look, go onto ebay, and look for a pair of old faded combats, or some nice bright jungle combats. However, your current trousers will become faded over time, so its no big deal.

[Royal]

You look just like a real paratrooper, but why the windproof not a para-frock?

[Paddy_UK]

Fergie mate, I'll put it simply; I'm a serving soldier who came on here to take the piss. I thought you'd realised that by now. It actually turns out that the piss-taking had to be limited as I was expecting much more idiocy in the posts I received. So thank you for showing me that airsofters are not all idiots, like I first thought.


Incidentally, the new combats don't fade like the old ones do, so you're stuck looking like a joe, unfortunately.

Royal, I don't like para smocks, the cuffs annoy me, it's issued to everyone and the pockets are wank.

Finally, that's why I use a Munro, the issue NI sacks are too big for what you'll need, plus they don't look as hard. You just can't fit one in the lid of your bergen.

[Royal]

Nine pics taken in the back garden, walting it up with a Chairsoft M16, you must really want to take the piss badly. Why no wings on the shiny new smock?

[Paddy_UK]

Yeah mate, I did. Don't wear any identifying features on my field smock, plus currently not with an airborne unit.

Good photos eh?

[Roger Rabbit]

Yeah mate, I did. Don't wear any identifying features on my field smock, plus currently not with an airborne unit.


So whenever you're not with an airborne unit you remove your wings?

[Paddy_UK]

Nah mate, only bought the smock a few months ago, not got round to buying a set of wings to go on it. Not much point doing so at the moment.

[Roger Rabbit]

A few months...
When did you do pcompany, must have been fairly recently judging by your age.

[Paddy_UK]

Many years ago, RR.

[SamHamam]

My money is on an each way; either OTC or ACF AI.

Either way he's a fraud. (I think that Walt is too benign a term for people like this)

Plus his mum could do with getting Ground Force in.

[Paddy_UK]

****ing LOL!

[kayaker]

Paddy,
how much did you put down for your C7?

[Paddy_UK]

It's not mine mate, apparently it was about £350.

[Psycomore]

@ Sabre: i've seen your mega ally setup of your LBV & plce pouches in the beltkit thread :) & i was wondering how much other mates of yours have that, or a similar rig?

I was also wondering the terms of non issue gear such as webbing and body armour in the regs, i assume tht its down to your CO wether you can wear such exotic gear or not?

Id be pretty Pe'od if i wernt allowed to use mine lol & have to make do with the cr*ppy plce yoke!!:fork:LOL

Generally, you can use whatever's appropriate to task. A lot of folk use the PLCE because, let's face it, it IS good. An assault vest or chest rig is a lot better when working in vehicles, but can be problematic when using a bergen i.e it won't support the bergens weight. A general rule of thumb is in the field you can use almost anything as long as a) it's DPM b) it's IRR and c) it's not taking the piss.

My Pl Sgt and Pl Cmdr are pretty easy on the kit that's used (the only hard and fast rule is NO WEB-TEX - it's SOP's now).

Sometimes you have to use issue kit when you are on courses, or if you are instructing recruits for example. Body armour, you wear what is issued (if it's issued).

[Imshi-Yallah]

My garden isn't particularly a battlefield either.


Really but what about all those young men who were raped and killed there?

Royal: weren't you called a walt by some yank a few months ago? Funny when they get it wrong.

[Sabre]

So Paddy, did you just rent the airsoft rifle?

Seems like a lot of effort to get a rise out of airsofters, especially as you seem to have the attracted attention of mostly non-airsofters.

so in your eyes would this be acceptable in "most" units? Although its not all dpm. BTW ive already posted it in this thread i know.

You can get away with it if it's ok'd by the powers that be. As a joe/crow you'll use issue kit and once you're in if your 1up/2up decide it's issue all the way then that's it mate. I think the LBV trend just came about because the yanks were swapping over to MOLLE and the 'surplus market' was flooded with them. I just jumped on the bandwagon. They're good for having the extra space, but nowadays with wearing CBA all the time it doesn't really matter if you just use the issue yoke. You don't really need extra padding as the CBA takes the weight.

For courses (ie junior/senior brecon) it's issue kit all the way. I've managed to cobble some spare stuff up so that I have a 'regulation' set in case anyone kicks up a stink and to use on courses.

Cheers mate, I'm getting emotional here.

how come no WEB-TEX?

[Sabre]

Cos it's shyte.

[Imshi-Yallah]

how come no WEB-TEX?

Because it is only allowed for the SAS or higher.

cheers mate, i only bought it because my SAAV was p!ssing me off, so i saw your rig & a few pics & vids of paras showin em off. Plus i find the beltkit much better! I wouldn't dare wear any non issue gear as a recruit tho, thats just asking for a suicidal beasting LOL But im only a space cadet atm so regulation gear doesn't mean f*ck all p-) You can wear wotever you want aslong as your trousers, shirt & combat jacket/smock is British.

No, but there was a webtex one that fell apart on its way to you.

[Fergie]

Paddy,

Mate I really do feel sorry for you, u push E-walting to new extremes! It really does seem a bit sad that you got all dressed up in some nice ironed combats, borrowed an airsoft rifle from a friend (bit ironic that, borrowing an airsoft gun from a friend to take the pis$ outta them?) an got some person who has a lot of spare time to take some pictures of u, just to get a few sh*ts an giggles (if that...). I'm sorry, but i've just left cadets, and am joining up soon, an even i think ur a fcuking A class walt of the highest order, wonder what ur muckers think of you..

Sorry if i'm going a bit OTT, but this has really pissed me off

Fergie

[Paddy_UK]

I used a self timer, this was all off my own back. Glad I achieved something then huh?

Fergie, when you do join up, I wish you all the best in doing so, well done; maybe you'll understand the mentality a bit more and see why me and my mates got a laugh out of all this.

[Imshi-Yallah]

@Fergie:
Please please please please go airborne...

Because they need your hardcoreness.

[JAILER]

No, but there was a webtex one that fell apart on its way to you.
i believe it:)
i have gone back to using my issue vest

[Fergie]

@Fergie:
Please please please please go airborne...

Because they need your hardcoreness.

Please fcuk right off u little sarcastic ****... When you stop wearing badges that u haven't earn't and pretending ur fcuking rambo, then come back and take the pi*s outta me.

:lol:

Best of luck mate. Sounds like you're on the right track.

@Paddy:

Mate, I don't think your scheme has had quite the impact you expected, but it's been amusing for me at least.

[Imshi-Yallah]

Please fcuk right off u little sarcastic ****... When you stop wearing badges that u haven't earn't and pretending ur fcuking rambo, then come back and take the pi*s outta me.

Oh noes, I am undone.

I wish I could one day reach the heights of the cadets.

Oh by the way, what badges am I wearing? Your stalking skills must be amazing.

[Paddy_UK]

Sabre, no it's not. I was looking for many more "You should be wearing a para smock and you should have your wings up".

Ah well, it certainly has been interesting eh mucker?

[Sabre]

It's been 'different'.

Now it's time for a brew.

[Fergie]

Paddy, i can kinda see your point, i really do get annoyed also when i see some of the guys on here with para lids, wings and got knows what else they've scabbed off fleabay which they could never earn in a million years. To be honest, the only airsoft weapon i own is a spring one that cost me £50 about 2 years ago (which is currently broken..). But there are some guys also that arent that bad on here, which is why i got kinda pissed.

No hard feelings mate

[Hydro]

Oh by the way, what badges am I wearing? Your stalking skills must be amazing.



I can see....sewing...campcraft...and...is that...yes, it is... knot tying!

[Paddy_UK]

I don't hold grudges, anyway there's something good on telly that I'm missing because of this. All the best.

[Sabre]

Sharpe........?

[California Joe]

Hahaha. Well if he actually is a real deal it certainly was a backasswards way of entering the forum. A real soldier taking airsoft pics so airsofters will point out the discrepancies in his uniform and he can giggle, then instead, actual soldiers post the majority of the responses. Wouldn't that make him a reverse airsoft Walt?

[Paddy_UK]

Got it in one, California Joe.

[California Joe]

It's like a double negative. :)

[Adam Wilhelm]

He´s Super-Walt. p-)

[Fergie]

Oh by the way, what badges am I wearing? Your stalking skills must be amazing.

It wasn't that difficult to stalk you mate...

Stay tuned folks!

Paddy,

I hear that you've got a penchant for the M9 - do you reckon that it's better than the old Browning Hi Power? What did you reckon to the M4 when you were using it in the Province?

[Roger Rabbit]

I've got a few questions for paddy_uk/tomm/mav
Firstly nice post on arrse(http://www.arrse.co.uk/cpgn2/Forums/viewtopic/t=48629/postdays=0/postorder=asc/start=4515.html), apparently you turned up to go walt hunting here but your background is a bit fishy.
On arrse.co.uk you said in 2004 you were a PE teacher
I'm currently working at a comprehensive school, beasting children for fun.

They like me to call it "P.E" Very Happy
Now you are "on leave between postings". What happened, leave and join up again?

You say you are Mav a moderator at http://www.pukf.net/ in this thread
http://www.arrse.co.uk/cpgn2/Forums/viewtopic/p=376393.html#376393

where you claim:
*Holds you to that, i was indeed, 2nd para.

There are only three real battalions

1st
2nd
3rd

4th para TA wankers.

Welcome to the forums mate, hope you enjoy your stay..
I've yet to hear a serving or ex para refer to one of the battlions as 1st or 3rd always as 1 para or 4 para...

Here you are
*Has become a cadet instructor now
http://www.pukf.net/forum/index.php?topic=20.msg664#msg664
So what is it, PE teacher and cadet instructor, or serving soldier on 4 weeks leave between postings.

In september 2003 you had served almost 7 years in the army
http://www.pukf.net/forum/index.php?topic=20.msg757#msg757
but here in april 2004 you've now served 9 years. My maths isn't brilliant but neither is yours apparently.

Me neither Huey, after serving nine years in the Parachute Regiment, I really wouldn't know

And this
In NI (during my latter years), we only carried pistols Undecided, I had my rather nifty yank M9 Beretta though
http://www.pukf.net/forum/index.php?topic=102.msg2976#msg2976
Right, having been in the army for almost 7 years, not many people call the weapons exactly by their "proper" names, we called the M4A1 the M4, and the L85A1 the SA80, and the L86, the LSW?
Yer a Jock though, Grin we actually used the Yank carbine in combat!
http://www.pukf.net/forum/index.php?topic=20.msg775#msg775

A side note, i have heard the word "yank carbine" being used alot!
M9 and M4's in the British Army?

Someone else posts this on your forum and you dont see anything suspicious about it?
So anyway we are on this major live fire excersise thingy in Wales right, when all of a sudden i feel something hit my stomach - not hard, just like a bouncy ball hit me or something, and i see this bullet lying on the ground, the bloke standing behind me gets one in the neck, again it bounces off, next thing everybodys running round in confusion because we are all getting hit by something, but nobody is quite sure what, well eventually someone puts 2 and 2 together and realises that everybody getting hit by misterious flying objects and bullets without casings lying round on the ground are somehow connected.

Turned out later about 5(or whatever) miles away they were doing a part of the excersises involving the Machine Gunners firing on targets beyond visual range with the help of spotters right, and the bullets were flying all the way to where we were because they were firing these bullets uphill, and we were on the other side of the hill, so they were like curving over the top of the hill, and falling to earth were we were... well actually a bit in front of where we were, we were actually copping the bounces of the bullets.


Oh and this gem
Myself, if i ever used a blade in combat (which only happened once, it disturbed me) it was Black Beauty (a KA-BAR knife), designed for killing, longer and not shiny silver!

I'm willing to admit i'm wrong and apologise, but at the moment i reckon you're a walting****

rofl Remind me to never have Roger research me. That's why I always claim I've never done a damned thing. It's easier to remember.

Go away.

Airsofters & paintballers don't piss in your yard, so don't come and piss in ours.

Like I said in a PM to Roger Rabbit earlier on, to which he's not replied yet; It's almost a shame that once somebody is accused of "being a walt" that people will always use what they read and see to support that statement. I would be the first to admit that I did "walt it up" in my internet past and spout **** like there was no tomorrow. All the crap about M4s and M9s is just that and I've admitted it since.

But I am not a civvy chunt, nor a chippy cadet AI. I do my job for my mates, my family and my country and I wouldn't give it up for the ****ing world. And sure, back in 2003 when some of those posts are from, I tried to keep it to myself for a while, I'm sure I wouldn't be the first bloke to lie about his military career in the name of "PERSEC".

At the end of the day Roger, Royal et al. If you want to believe I'm a walt, crack on, it's really not going to affect my life. What does annoy me is ignorance, if you are gonna do your research, do it with an open mind and with an objective view on your findings, or else some day you might really get bitten in the arse. Alas, however there's no way I can prove what I do, I'm not giving out any personal details, I'm sure you will understand where I'm coming from on this one.

[Roger Rabbit]

Below is the PM Paddy sent me

Mate, you've done some serious digging; well done, you found out a lot of info.

Truth is mate, I've done my best to hide my real identity on the internet, which is why you see a lot of conflicting stuff. Additionally, if you know what the maroon machine is like, we do our best to glorify ourselves in a variety of ways, pretending to be gucci than we really are is one of them, definately.

I'm not going to divulge much information because I don't know who you are, but the teacher stuff was a lie to avoid admitting I was a serving soldier, the cadet instructor part was a simplified version of my current posting, which I just finished.

To be honest mate, you can think what you want and there's no way I can really change that and there's no way I can prove anything short of giving my full name and service number, which I'm not going to do. I don't really care that much.

Have fun,
Tom "Paddy"

If you ever were a part of the maroon machine then you've done enough to be proud of without spouting utter bollocks. However that doesn't seem to be the case. Myself i remain unconvinced you were ever a part of the maroon machine although i don't doubt you have served as a soldier in some form (at the very least as a cadet instructor) your still a **** for being a walt.

[Paddy_UK]

Yeah, I know, but I can't change what I did or said in the past. Hell, that was four years ago and a lot has changed, as you might imagine. So really it is a bit 'unfair' to use the past as an argument for trying to make somebody look like (even more of) a ****. ;)

[California Joe]

You probably don't even have a cool '70s porno 'tasche. Wait'll Chops gets here. Then you're in for it.

I find this all rather amusing.

The 'prank' (or attempt thereof) didn't go quite as planned, did it? rofl

[digrar]

It's time for you arse blokes to get out of the kiddie forum. Feel free to participate in the other sections, leave these poor pricks alone.

Forum Rules (http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1554)

8. Don't insult the airsofters or video game players in their forum section. A separate section was setup specifically for hobbyists to separate the real from the non-real military people and events to alleviate such problems.

[Vince S]

Because I'm stuck in Canada...

Poor excuse Lerch ;) As a canadian you can join in every Commonwealth army (or am I wrong here?)

As for myself, I joined the Canadian last summer but failed the medical test. My knee was too ****ed up to allow me in... Now I finished college and one day I might go back, but not now.

Are you sure you speak English? Pal, it was a joke, I couldn't give a rats arse what this guy is, if he's for real good for him, if he's not than he's a strange kinda dickhead for posting any of that in here. I am an American and Chops is an Aussie and the '70s porno 'tache is a running joke between us. Para chic from the old days. When you sober up perhaps you'll get it.

As for the rest of you, like Dig said, don't come in the airsoft forum and slag them, the majority of them don't bother anyone and they, as a hobby, have sh*t to do with this.

I was under the impression that I had to be a British citizen to join the British Army...:P

I'm fairly sure Canadians can join the British Army.

I'm fairly sure Canadians can join the British Army.
I am totally looking into this!

[Sabre]

Mate, just join the CF!

They're doing as much as we are and getting a fairly good deal out of it. It would be much easier to join the CF than the British Army, just speaking logistically. Joining up is enough of a change without going transatlantic in the process.

@ Paddy: As far as this thread goes I think you hoyed the grenade, but left the clip on!

Better luck next time, and as Dig said, the rest of the forum isn't like the airsoft section, so stick around if you want.

[The Evil Doctor Faustus]

theres loads of canadians in the forces (uk that is) God knows why, especially as i heard a dirty rumour that the canadians had the best paid army in the world. Quite a few of the ones i know were ex-CF themselves, apparently threaders with the lack of deployments - then a massive afghan deployment takes place........hehehehe - good effort plastic yanks

[Imshi-Yallah]

Canadians can definitely join the BA but as others have touched on, the old motive of adventure seems a bit of a moot point with the current size of the Canadian contingent in Afghan, their willingness to kick off with the Taliban and the bent of the Harper Government.

Cushier pay and conditions plus just as much chance to get sunburned as in the BA is probably a winner in most people's books.

One bit of advice is whatever you decide to do don't leave it too long.

Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission and all that.

Fergie: You still haven't educated me on what I'm walting as?

If I remember rightly, it was you who started this small, pathetic dispute, and I merely retaliated.

I don't ever recall calling you a walt of any kind, I just associated you with being a sad, overweight airsofter.

If you are a serving soldier, then I take this back completely (contrary to what it may seem, I have lots of respect for HM forces, with many of my family having served, and me hopefully in a few years), but I don't regret having a go at you about your sarcastic comment earlier on which started this whole thing.

So lets act grown up shall we, and just drop this.

Cheers, Fergie

[Imshi-Yallah]

Nah mate, I wound you up over your childish behaviour.

I'm not an airsofter for the record, I just surfed the laugh wave from this thread.

You do yourself no favours by being outraged on other people's behalf "mate".

[Fergie]

Just one question, but why do airsofters need anything other than a small patrol pack and webbing/assault vest? I may be being an ignorant cnut, but I didn't think airsofters stayed longer than a day out?

Cheers, Fergie

[The Evil Doctor Faustus]

airsoft, reason and logic are all Mutually exclusive entities, a bit like purse and showers ;)

[Sabre]

Howay lads, best call it a day before the powers that be descend on here. This part of the forum is for these guys to talk about what they talk about without interference. Although it was originally just to get the soft air talk that started to encroach on real world discussions a few years back out of the rest of mp.net. It works fine normally, don't fcuk things up.

[The Evil Doctor Faustus]

its only banter, nothing malicious - i apologise if i offended anyone

[Sabre]

Don't worry about me. I couldn't give a sh*t. Just trying to avoid a mega-bust-up. ;)

[Bill Hearst]

@Fergie:
There are some MilSim Guys, which prefer to do 24h or more hours operations - completeley "In-Game" so the game never stops until the end of operation.
Of course that's a small group of airsofters, but an existing one! ;)

[The Evil Doctor Faustus]

Don't worry about me. I couldn't give a sh*t. Just trying to avoid a mega-bust-up. ;)

thats very responsible of you. ill just sit and wait til deltawhisky comes and gives me *more* infractions


As for 'MilSim'.....is there no end to this Airsoft?!?! maybe one day theyll solve international conflicts with a gentlemanly game of airsoft; the loser still feeling the ignominy of defeat, but without the awful sacrifice. The winners also get a nice shiny trophy......airsoft is the future!
