Mhmm the second guy in the house has a pretty pricey looking helmet cam on there, so probably not airsofters, but good inspiration to build off of

[bishop84037]

they do have orange tips though. i'm guessing it's a real unit in training.

[Deus Ex]

As I send earlier probably blank fire simulators

[bishop84037]

or maybe simrounds. airsoft with extreme pain!

[Deus Ex]

Never heard of aim rounds, what's that

[rankross1]

simunition uses the fire cap from a real bullet but instead of all the gunpowder and well lead, it uses a compacted chalk dust or some kind of paint and maybe a little powder, hurts like hell and only has the range about 1.5 of a paintball gun, police use them though because it allows you to use your real firearm as long as you swap out a bolt so you get a better level of realism.

I didn't think of that (our armed forces use yellow ones) so it could be either

[bzager1]

The American armed forces don't use orange BFAs either. Red ones boxy ones on M-16s, Yellow boxy ones on M4s, Red tubular ones on M240s and 249s, and the M2 has this three armed basket thing that fits over the whole barrel, and usually isn't painted at all. The orange tip on the end of the guy's carbine is not any BFA I've ever seen. The orange magazine baseplates on the sidearm would seem to indicate some sort of training only, so it's possible they're using simunitions...

[Limey]

Looking at it again the stock on said guy on the left's weapon is also orange so I'd have to agree it's genuine and they're using some kind of training weapons like simunition

Except that they aren't wearing any sort of eyepro or face protection, if they're doing force on force with sim rounds like that they're stupid, and even if they're just rolling in to shoot paper targets ricochets can come back at you in a hurry. Those sim rounds hurt like crazy because it's still a metal projectile, and it's still being fired out of a gun (admittedly, by the force of the primer alone, no gunpowder) it would have no problem taking out an eye, a tooth, or an earlobe. Where did you find this picture? Perhaps it's a dry run before they do it with simunitions?

I think they are wearing eye pro....it's hard to see due to the angles but I think it's there....

So we can all conclude that flacktarn looks best with other flecktarn, and looks alright with ACU right?

[Deus Ex]

Yes that is right it looks better with ACU

[ratmaster]

flecktarn for flecktarn only or another flat color like od or something but why would anyone want to ruin fleck with acu.....

IMO this. If you're using flecktarn to help concealment then I can't see how ACU will not stand out. Conversely if ACU blends into your AO then flecktarn won't

[AirsoftComrade12]

Okay this is coming from someone who uses flecktarn and has friends who use ACU, and OD.  Please for the love of what ever high authority you believe in don't use flecktarn and ACU; I've seen it done and it looks horrid and will not help you blend in.  Flecktarn is dark and spotted (Fleck in German means "spot") versus ACU which is very light and obviously a digital pattern.  Flecktarn looks very funny with just about anything other than more flecktarn because  it really is a dark pattern and darker than even most people realize as it's made for the forests of Germany.  It even looks funny with OD because OD is still very light in contrast.  As for finding your gear, if your going ACU cut flecktarn avoid the ACM knock-offs.  I believe a previous poster had mentioned a name brand producer of ACU cut flecktarn.  In addition actual German made Flecktarn can be found reasonably priced, although it use to be cheaper.  Either way it would still be in the sub $50 for pants and a parka w/o liner.  Then were you thinking like a full vest type set-up or more of a web-gear or chest rig set-up?  I can't vouch for any full vests as I don't care for them and have never used them but if you can hunt down a new or used Bundeswehr issue/issued web-gear set they are excellent; they're what I use.

[bishop84037]

i agree that the 2 should not be mixed whatsoever. but if you insist on mixing german and and american camos, might i suggest a wustentarn uniform with a multicam plate carrier? at least both are shades of light brown.

[Pigjiggin]

Idk bout you guys but what airsofter spends $800 on a helmet alone?

Someone with an obscene amount of disposable income.

[To be Marine]

Or one less kidney.

[bishop84037]

that would be the most hardcore airsofter ever, giving up vital organs for more gear. there's a guy here in utah who comes close, i think his callsign is preacher. this man uses his military pension to pay for all the gear for his team. not only that, but he's old and has breathing problems, so he comes out with an oxygen tank in a very large molle pouch on his back.

The "fire cap"?  So long as you swap out a "bolt"?  Are you twelve?

If you want to know more about Simunition, read it from the actual manufacturer.  Not some kid on the internet who doesn't know what he's talking about.










OP:  Wear whichever camouflage you like with whichever camouflage you like.  Just because your average fifteen year old wants to dress up like a super-cool Army Ranger, does not mean you can't throw your kit together any way you like.

Thanks for the advice, but there's no need to be a world class douche about it cause Ok enjoy your day

Oh sorry i didn't know what the fire cap is properly called, blast cap maybe, really i don't care. Check under products and AR15 conversions there is a bolt conversion kits so how was i so wrong to say swap out the bolt.
