swat loadout

Wolfruin

im thinking of doing a swat loadout for next year i know very little about swat loadout any advice ?:D

Zomg Okay

Have you considered Wikipedia?

i have but we all know that some gear doesnt transfer to the games easily i thought best to ask my peers

Zomg Okay

Well, the Wiki article on SWAT has a list of guns they use and most of them have airsoft equivalents as far as I could tell. The pictures would also be useful for judging if a certain camo, vest or whatever worked. It's a good starting point if nothing else.

as a grounding, Black loadout and MP5 or similar gun, also M4 carbines are sued sometimes, or M500 if you wana have some fun
Black SWAT tac vests are easy to get, black balaclava and a black helmet, then get some black goggles, like proper ones, not shooting glasses. You can either put them on the helmet and wear shooting glasses or actually wear the goggles but they may fog up very quick.

I'm just curious; why do you want to do a SWAT loadout? I mean if you're not aware of anything SWAT-based, then what has you hankering for a loadout based on them?

SWAT-team style impressions are pretty handy; black clothes, black vest, balaclava, helmet and you're done! Of course if you want to be totally accurate then you're looking at considerably more effort, and money :P

I should point out that fogging shouldn't be a major issue if you opt for X800s.

Ok black isn't exactly what SWAT units are currently issued 80's and early 90's maybe most US SWAT teams wear either OD or Tan flight suit style set ups or bdu's with a Mich helmet ,the vest maybe tricky the ones I've seen seem to be a mix of a otv crossed with a ciras vest with deltoid protectors ,throat mics and matching knee and elbow pads with either a blackhawk serpa or safariland holster ,finish off the look with ess or similar shooting wrap around glasses .
In saying that LAPD swat use navy bdu's/flight suits paired with black vests and helmets .personaly i like the Canadians swat black vests over grey bdu's/coveralls or propper urban digital camo for something a little different

Could not disagree more and just sold my ones for this very reason, with any set of goggles it's about the playing conditions and direction of your breath

If like me, a person is going to use a balaclava with no opening around the mouth (as SWAT do), fogging will be an issue and even with vented face masks / goggles, they still fog :rolleyes:

However, there is a mesh visor insert available for the X800 style googles, not sure where to get them and was fed up looking

I play with X800s and a head wrap around my face. Little or no fogging.

How lucky you are and for me, they just would not stop fogging
