Who here has based their load out?

AGB_Ghost

Who here has based your load out on a famous army or Special forces or a fictional character

if you have who or whom was it and what is your load out and when was it bought?

for example i based one of my many loud outs on Ghost from MW2 i have the skully,hoodie,gloves,holster,glasses

and i had an old SAS based all black BDU gas mask outfit that i sold ages ago but i miss it

I have my loadout based around a GSG-9 look. But not 100% accurate.

FunkBlaster87

Roughly based on afghan-soviet loadout. Although don't have the correct boots etc...

Blazer

Never knew it but mine's based on the USMC
M4 with Beretta M9 as backup plus I have the marpat uniform as well which is really excellent for forestry.

Shanewalsh

Hamas!

BeardySi

Fictional here - specifically Imperial Guard from Warhammer 40k...

Puding

mainly multi period russian, vdv afgan and vdv flora 90s along with generic modern russian { non specific unit }, went with this area as it is not that common a lot of reference material is available and it relatively easy to source genuine items at reasonable prices

have a idf impression as its simple and practical

working on a ksk and us ranger impression ( well have to have at least one non greenside kit list )

johnciall

not 100% accurate but it's based on the the U.N.I.T. Loadout from Doctor Who, just need to get a cap badge for my beret

delta-boy

I fell in love also with the modern day era US. Ranger loadout. I've got some help from Zaitsev on Arnies Airsoft and also on AirsoftForum.

Its still in the works but, and I'm torn between soft-shells and MultiCam combat shirts. xD

Killinator

US Army Ranger, circa 1993(Black Hawk Down).

I made a thread about this a while back but dealing mostly with teams.

We wear Russian Digital VDV uniforms and use modern equipment in a VDV recon unit's light infantry loadout. Similar to this photo, but much more modern and 21st century:


There are photos of us in my signature.

Spetzcong

British Army temperate loadout. Just need one more utility pouch to complete my PLCE webbing. Would like to build a current British Army Afghanistan loadout, but I don't have the funds

Next on my list after that will be an early Vietnam USMC or a Vietnam SF Military Advisor loadout, with a GBB M14 but that'll be a long time in the making

The early advisors just used OD fatigues so you can do an impression by cutting corners and then add to it with time if you're stuck for funds. OD fatigues (but make sure they're the VN milspec ones), webbing belt with pouches/canteen, and if you're doing USMC, a crap-hat.

The GBB m14 though ... can't help you there :P


As for my own load-outs; I need to search boards for a particular picture first before I start.

Puding

Does said picture contain a stoner and a pair of jeans
?

Lemming

I've a bunch of load-outs, ranging from the anally accurate to the "throw on jeans and webbing belt and call it scruffy-soft";

Period Accurate:

Vietnam:
I took inspiration for my infantry look from a couple of different films; most notably Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Hamburger Hill, & We were soldiers, and of course the TV show Tour of Duty.

My SOG/Seal inspiration is taken from a photograph (see below) taken in Vietnam, of a SEAL holding a Stoner 63 LMG. Whilst I've also taken a bit of inspiration from Tour of Duty (Season 3), most of the inspiration was taken from the photograph.



Thank you to Puding for finding that picture in this thread.


WW2:
My WW2 impression is a work in progress, namely a British 6th Airborne paratrooper during Operation Market Garden (inspired very much by "A bridge too far" and "The longest day").

I can field a US infantry look at a pinch using my VN greens and the M1 helmet with either my Garand or BAR.

WW2 specific kit (even repro) is incredibly expensive; hence why the British airborne loadout is still on-going.

Iraq/Afghanistan
I've the makings of a UK DDPM Iraq/Afghan loadout. Need webbing and osprey armour vest to complete. Oh, and a Gimpy, yes please!


Generic

I have a generic US special forces load-out using US tri-colour woodland BDUs and I also have a pakka (sp?), so I can run around in jeans, with "body armour" and a USP Compact for some 24-inspired giggles.

I'm interested in gathering together a russian look; both georgian conflict, and if I can find the money and time; a VDV afghan look.

No, that's the other picture with about ten guys, levis, and the world's supply of squad support weapons (I was very jealous) :pac:

Not to mention the world's supply of jeans. Is that not an incredibly silly thing to do? Wear jeans into a jungle?

Apparently not ...

At an educated guess; judging by the silly amount of firepower the above team were carrying, that may have been a SEAL team operating in somewhere like the mekong delta off riverine patrol boats, where stronger material such as denim might have been a bit more robust/comfortable/etc. when jumping on/off all manner of metal.


Edit: Not so sure on my educated guess about denim and patrol boats; from further reading the SEALs just did pretty much whatever they wanted - mixed & matched kit to look as unconventional to the enemy as possible and add to the "wtf?" reaction.

However, the unit in question can be found here in another photo beside a river dock, albeit in different attire Wiki link

Interesting read: clicky; and do a search for "denim" for first entry point.

Puding

from my understanding they where used because the bdus of the day just where not as well made as know and could not stand up to the abuse the seal put there gear thought

Sod'o swords

Well i have an US Army themed loadout, full acu and interceptor. Then a Germany bundeswehr based loadout, though the g36 is now tan...

Then I have my Italian loadout, which i hope to get an FNC for because it's the closest i've seen to an AR70/90 out there, unless there is one and i'm blind.

Otherwise my loadouts are just bits of gear i liked and threw together.

Next in line is some form of Russian loadout!

MWoods

I was gonna get a load out like the Rangers in Black Hawk Down. Lack of money however forced me to abandon that idea

r0n0c

Thinking of doing one bsed on Adrian Shephard from Half Life:Opfor although running around in a gas mask would be a bitch as well as limit visibility

CaptainCook

I based mine on Ravenwood from Jericho TV series. They are utter scumbags. These guys make Blackwater look like the salvation army.

I've based my new loadout on a US Navy Seals Team. I got the idea from the movie Tears Of The Sun. I got most of my BDU, Vest etc from ehobby asia.

Several really, UKSF, UK regular forces Russian MVD (had vdv) US PJs (Based on one of the guys that went down in the real events of the perfect storm book and movie as a tribute, separate pj book i forget the name of), Close protection loadout is based on a photograph of a woman I saw in Iraq with a brit firm, cant remember the name, will find a photo, hunrdreds of loadouts, mostly nobody specific.

SNAKEDOC

the book is so others may live. great read would recommend it to anybody.

Firekitten

Thats the one... Brilliant book, makes me respect those men a lot more knowing how far beyond the call of duty they go. (no not the game you nerds)

Firekitten

the whole safariland fetish is only due to the geardo navy seal fanboys :P

more sf units, pmcs, and leos use serpas now due to the simple faster draw, uninterupted.

but meh, its personal choice, you like it, cool, i prefer to spend the extra (um, more than twice the price of the serpa) on stuff like booze... and toys... and yeah ok shoes... *facepalm* every little helps! rofl

oeb

Bah, serpa. Half the people I know with a serpa also have no paint on the slide of their sidearm.

VIVA LA SAFARILAND!

I never even knew the seals, pmc's blah blah... used them. Wasn't the buying point for me. Price was.

Will put up a pic later of what my current kit is

That's the way it should be, I hate clean, unscratched, un marked paint, it makes things look tacky. Scratched and paintless pistol slides ftw!

Oh for gods sake look what i started

Tada! Excuse the crappy photo. Was taken in front of a mirror

Not really based off anything but love the old school woodland

WOW you look shocked to realise theres a camera... afraid of it eating your soul?

OEB: Busted... safarilands also grip the slide in the same manner as any other holster does except the bodiless ispc ones.

you want your gun to remain perfect box condition? Dont use it.

If you want it to stay in your holster, along with the magazine in the gun, buy a decent holster, the solid frame ones are best for that, safariland, fobus, imi, or blackhawk. I just PREFER blackhawk serpas for thier draw design, i find it comfortable and fast.
