Spetzcong

Load out is M4s? Does this mean you'll be hanging up your beloved P90 Gatling?

Good luck with the team.

Gatling

andy_g

regards andy:cool:

Gatling

sci-ops

Gatling, all the best with the new team m8. As much as I would like to enlist in what would essentially be my preferred type of team (American etc...) I am in college on Saturday's for the next 3 months or so. Besides, I just purchased aload of the acu gear (or will be, the wife is in New York next with a shopping list ) and don't have the cash to purchase some woodland just yet.

All the best though. Like the patch, even if it ain't quite the finished article.

Gatling

sci-ops ,you join in anytime in the future ,its going to take a while to get everybody kitted out in the team loadout

Gatling

due to a total feck up on my behalf ,myself and andy g couldnt makes todays session , but we will both be there next week with 4/5 team members,if any one wants to join

You maybe should consider widening your choice of weapons to create a better team

Gatling

loadout is based on the USMC Force recon teams.
M4A1.
Kimber II 45s .
M4O siper rifle .
M14 marksman rifle .including the EBR
M249 .

thats the current Recon loadout ,thats we are going with

Weapons don't make a team better. Give 10 fools M249s against 5 experienced players with the rifle they've trained with and my money is on the rifle, not the saw. Just because the weapon selection is limited doesn't mean it's bad or wrong or even restrictive. It means that if that person isn't used to that gun, they'll just have to start from scratch. Expanding the range means lack of coherence between weapons as well as lack of uniformity. Force Recon don't chop and change their selection to get more recruits, why should a team basing themselves on it.

Thanks for the offer mate i would except i just got the P90 and some Russian camo, and ordered a bunch of hi caps lol

Gatling

worth a try. vests are undecided yet ,maybe just chest rigs and camel packs

penguin-o7

just an opinion but camo should be the same but vests should be personal preference.

Gatling

recritment this saturday ,will also need a few hands to set up a base in HRTA ,paul gave permission a couple of weeks ago to put a new base some where in HRTA still deciding on where best to place it

Cheeky monkey

fix up the bus and make your base mobile

Gatling

was thinking that already want to mount the jet ski on the roof to use as an observation post

NakedDex

If you're doing that, I want the motor out of it first. I'd hazard a guess I could get it going.

Masada

what you making the base out of gatling?

dex by the look of that ski i dont thik its ever gonna be running again.,lol the hovercraft would be class though, it only uses a 2 cyl engine and is pretty basic to run.,

Cheeky monkey

ok guys heres the plan for saturday Dex you get the jet ski working, Richie you get the hovercraft working and gatling you make it bus look like this

NakedDex

You'd be surprised, I've pulled out jetski motors in the past that looked like hell but after a good clean and some tlc. The hovercraft is doable too. The skirt is intact for the most part and all the fingers are in place. The fan cowl is solid but a new rudder and pair of thrust destroyers. Easily made. Then engine would need a new mount and all the decklids need replacing. Again, easily fabbed. I'd need to see underneath it to check the piping is ok to the float ring and the skirt itself. Throttle would need to be re run for the new engine and the steering could do with an overhaul. It's functioning as it stands but the push/pull bars are sagging, they need bracing and protection.

With the right materials and a few hands you'd have that up and running in a few days

LOL., the third dimension from the turtles.,lol,

what ya say we get the hover craft up and running and dont tell anyone dex.,lol.,:D

NakedDex

Hate to tell you this mate, but they might hear us coming!

It'd be a great defence system though. Park it's arse to oncoming fire and the backwash would blow the bbs away or off course.

Masada

lol., yeah i hadnt even thought about that actually., would be untouchable.,

NakedDex

The hover craft wouldn't be hard to do up. If Paul was up for it I'd be more than willing to help doing it. Prop engines aren't a million miles from what I do for a living anyway. Depending on how powerful it is I reckon you could sit 3-4 people in there including the driver.

That'd look bad ass with a pintle mounted M240 or M249 on it hurtling down the field.

Site-Ops

Lads.... I wouldnt mind joining up as one of the 12 apostles.... Maybe not one of the main 6 but a casual might suite until I get permission off the War Dept to be excused full time. women... cant live with em. Cant live with em.

i'd gladly offer my m249 for mounting

been everybody is off topic ,this is what you want ,

You able to afford the fuel requirements for that?

NakedDex

Yeah, that's what I'm making in my garage. I snuck a pair of CFM56-7a engines out of work in my back pack the other day. If it doesn't work I can always flog them, one set of fan blades alone is worth half a mil.


I would genuinely spend some time getting that thing up and running if it was viable though. I'll have to have a look at the underside and pressure test it. However, there is one stipulation.

Whatever team I'm on, has dibs on using it.

I'm not spending weeks repairing something that's going to mow me down.

Masada

I saw that thing in action in a documentary once., its a beast. although i think their putting them out of service.,

NakedDex

They're replacing them with a better model. Those ones are horribly inefficient. They actually use two jet engines to power the props on the back and the air cushion underneath. The newer ones are getting better engines that provide more thrust for less fuel. They're also reconfiguring the deck as far as I know. They want it modular

Gatling

being its a marine assault vehicle ,RECON troops will be availble to mount beach head assaults and or general skirmish duries,
must be in the off topic thread

NakedDex

Agreed, might be a good idea to have this all moved.

Gatling

anyone see the russian caspian sea monster now that would be an ideal project if you could find a garage large enought and 8 jet engines to build one ,that or do a firefox and hmmmm careful wording here "borrow" one from russia

hoplite

Ikranoplan or something like that they called it. You might have a job turning it at HRTA the field is not big enough

Gatling
