Airsoft with ghille suit!



I don't have one but I have planned to make one for a looong time!

[Nathan_Alexandrov]

You're not the only one, I'm trying to find a ghille poncho to go over my kit.

To be honnest i dont like them pull over ghillies, they stick to everything (yeah i tried) But it works as long you got the correct version, those ghillies you fasten to your jacket like a cape is much better, when your hiding you lie down at the stomach, so you wont need ghillie there anyway ;D

Was at a game today and i forgot to take some photos, but i gotta say, reddot on the AK74m is not bad at all, would recomend everyone who can to get one ;P

I'd love a few matches of airsoft once in a while, sadly it's illegal in the Netherlands and therefore there's no occasions to do so nearby. Wehrmacht M41 uniform with Stahlhelm and an MP40, like Johnny.  :cool:

[Nathan_Alexandrov]

I'm using a basic kit currently, Black BDU with a Tan Tacvest (Picture in the topic somewhere), I'll be changing the blacks to a Multicam UBACS shirt and Combats.

[shitix]

Thing most people do wrong nowdays in woodland skirmishes is to use black vests or overalls, its like wearing an orange shirt and shouting "I'm over here!" :P 3-4 guys had that at the skirmish today, took 'em out quite fast as they were easily spottet :P Natural colors is allmost a must, doesent have to be much, a plain OD BDU works just fine :P

Currently i'm using the AK74mn, it has 410fps compared to the MP40 that has just under 300fps :P
Going for a soviet partizan camo gorka (pretty much a copy of the old Waffen SS camoflage type.)

Except the Waffen SS camouflage is original and looks slightly better. Don't disappoint me, son.

Indeed, but then comes the price and the quality, the ss camo is expensive and only replica (meaning quality isnt as good as the original ones) The Partizan camo is orginal and has an acceptable price. Good quality, looks pretty much like same with a little more modernised design However if i have Soviet Gorka i only need to get m40 tunic to have two complete kits ;D

Well , this whole airsoft seems interesting for me, and i was looking around for weapons + gear.. but before i gona buy something i would like to get an opinion about one weapon wich is :


Colt M4 Navy Commando -  Schmeisser AR-15 Tactical



with energy of 0,5 joule it cost 65 Euro , Do you think its enough to start with Airsoft?

Cause i dont really want to spend shitload of money for something that i havent done yet :P

[shitix]

That my friend is just a waste of cash, sorry but its the truth :P You should get something that costs a little bit more then so. And you should allso look for guns with arround 1 joule or more (100m/s). AGM, A&K, JG and G&G has some decent nice starter AEGs.

[Nathan_Alexandrov]

You'd be better off finding a site that rents equipment out firstly.
Also Shitix I hate you, over here the AEG Limit is 380, Snipers are upto 500.

That's true. Original Waffen SS and Wehrmacht tunics of just regular soldiers in good condition costs at least 700 euros. Not to mention that higher ranks sometimes hit 25000 euros on eBay. But then again, it'd be a shame to wear those in airsoft battles, where they have a chance of getting dirty and messed up. They were worn by true heroes in most cases and over 70 years old, true war relics of the ( to me ) most intriguing war known to mankind. Something we'll never witness again in first person, wheter we'd want to or not. Anyways, to get back to the subject; original uniforms shouldn't be exposed to risks that you'll find in, for example, airsoft battles. Reenactment would be fine, to an extent. I personally own an authentic M41 tunic. Some say it's a replica, others say it's real. If it'd be a replica, it'd be a really old one, and if it'd be a real one, it would've been custom-made at a taylor. I would never expose it to the risks of damaging it, though.

I'd also like to point out that there are A LOT of replica companies that produce German WWII equipment and clothing availible. From Italia to the ''original factories'' in Germany (which apperently hasn't stopped making them). The quality varies. My drillich tunic doesn't have the lining inside of the jacket that you'd find in the wool jackets. I don't know if any drillich tunics had these linings at all, but if mine's a replica, it's a damn good one, despite the fact that it doesn't have these nice linings. The quality on mine is just superb and I believe it was made in Germany. I'm sure if you were actually looking for quality replicas, you'd find them. There's plenty availible, from cheap to superb quality.

But then again, I don't know how tolerant the Norwegian citizen is to fans of the Third Reich's military sector in general. In the Netherlands, there's enough tolerance for there to be at least three very professional and crowded reenactment groups, however, I know that it differs a lot in countries. I haven't seen a reenactment group in France, just to give an example. If there's enough tolerance in your airsoft group, then why not go for it? They were designed by Hugo Boss and they look far superior to any other country's uniforms I've ever seen. By the way, if you're not Johnny, keep in mind that we're both fans of the German WWII Wehrmacht. militarily speaking. If the Russian stuff would go with an M40 tunic aswell, then you could indeed combine the two and have two different sets using stuff from, primarily, one of them. After all, it doesn't have to be extremely accurate in airsoft. It's not like you're actually reenacting a Wehrmacht or Waffen SS soldier in airsoft.

I own a few original Soviet parade uniforms personally, considering getting a commissar uniform for winter games, currently my savings are going to one of these...

What do these go for nowadays? I have a few Soviet/DDR officer caps, which I bought for 10 euros each. Soviet stuff tends to be the cheapest in terms of price nowadays. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Show me the caps, I'll value them for you, they go for anywhere between 10 to as much a 900 euros.
