This is my current load-out so far. I am working on completing my MarPat load-out and I am going to be making a Gillie Suit too.

These are some pics that I took to show my current tan team load-out in its entirety. It is not an impression of any real life load-out that I know of. This is just my gear that I use. The sniper rifle still is going to make people face-palm and dry heave, but other than that it's pretty decent IMO. I'm planning on getting a new rifle soon so this summer I won't have an ugly rifle, but a bad-ass Ares AW-338. Soon my all gas load-out will be complete.[Insert maniacal laughter here]

These pics are just composed of some action poses. Also, I am wearing my everyday shoes instead of my boots so don't fault me for it.

Thanks for the input. I actually am planning on getting a Mich helmet and a tan load bearing rig eventually.

I will be getting a molle Rig eventually, but my airsoft budget will be pretty drained after buying the sniper rifle. So I'm going to have to get a tan cross-draw vest to complete my MarPat load-out until mid summer when my cash flow starts flowing again. I will be able to buy a helmet and CT Mp7 holster and some other gear along with the cross-draw vest, but I won't be able to get the molle rig until mid-summer.

Does anyone have suggestions on a good molle belt rig. I want to be able to crawl around easily, so I have to get mag pouches and other gear off of my stomach. Some people at MIA don't really understand the needs of a sniper and are just suggesting plate carriers and CIRAS. Some even have the audacity to try to steer me away from sniping, what nerve.

But, last summer I did do a lot of crawling around and found that the cross-draw vest didn't really hurt my ability to crawl. And It works just perfectly to fit all the gear and mags I have so the vest hasn't really been a hindrance on the field. I use them well so I don't have a problem getting another vest in tan. Then overall my gear collection will be a little larger when I get the molle rig which will be cool. It is always nice to have a good assortment of gear.

I will be making a Gillie suit so I'm going to use the tutorial fuzzywolly made for making them. So thanks in advanced fuzzy I'm sure your tutorial will help to make building one for myself a fun and painless experience.

Honestly, just get a battle belt, and H-harness to go with it.

Here is a link to the H harness, and the battle belt is attached to it in the pictures. It is what I would use if I was in your situation.

That is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks for the link. I still am going to have to wait to buy the rig because I also have to buy all the pouches for it and that will get expensive.

Does it have a place where I can attach my drop-leg holster for my MP7?

I'm sure it does. It has a belt in it, but you just need to find a spot to access that.

Awesome.

Hey! What does everyone think about me painting my MB05 with a winter camo. If I get a gas sniper rifle I will need a spring rifle for the winter and I think everyone will appreciate not having to look at my ugly and non-functional camo paint-job.

Not unless you run an HPA system on your rifle, that would make it more consistent than any spring rifle out there even in winter.

I know, but over at MIA some guy told me I needed a spring rifle for the winter. But, still even if I don't need a spring powered winter rifle I think it still would be nice to have one and my old MB05 wouldn't look hideous anymore.

Click to expand...

Shouldn't you need to just use the drop-legs with your pants belt anyways? I find it just gets in the way when attached to your load bearing gear.

Well it sort of helps me to have it attached to my LBE because the weight of the holster is supported by the gear and thus the weight is transferred to my shoulders. I don't like when the holster is attached to my bell because it then sits lower on my leg and then it makes my pants waistline sag and it is uncomfortable on my skeletal hips. LOL. That sounds weird. ???

Update: Well my black Friday shopping is done. Bought everything I wanted to get. I bought the cross-draw vest too. The only thing I need to get now is a 650mm 6.01mm dia. TBB. I think I will get the Madbul barrel because they're decent and are sold at reasonable prices. I just need to find out where I can buy one.

Im with Scarecrow on the drop leg issue. I have run many different rigs from IBV's to Plate Carriers to H-Harnesses, and have tried both with the drop leg attached to them and my belt. What I found when attached to my rig is that yes, it was easier to keep in position on my leg, but it led to a much more restricted field of movement and faster fatigue because I was constantly pulling my shoulders down when my I moved my thigh.

The solution for pants falling down and the drop leg slipping would be to run them tighter.

Just my 2 cents

EDIT: Dangit!!! I forgot that I was browsing older topics and necro-posted... sorry guys...

Thanks for the input, but I haven't really ran into that issue myself since I adjusted the length of the attacment point so it is comfortable for me to use.

I really like the get up! However, dont you think you should paint your gun to match your Digital?? Just my opinion.

I just might have to repaint it then, but probably not digital since I don't like the pattern on my guns.

I recently went with this paintjob for the winter games I attended:

I also just repainted the rifle for a 261 player event. It just sucks that I didn't get to do a full paintjob, all I had was it primed in hunter green:

aaron2269 · May 3, 2011

Yeah I'll eventually paint the red parts a darker color, but the paint I used is from an artshop and I'll have to go and buy some more. I like the type of paint because it doesn't wear off.

aaron2269 · May 4, 2011

It was the camera that made it look so blueish, but it isn't a very good color to begin with. I need to get a can of paint that is more of an OD color. When I do a full repainting the rifle will look a lot better.

There wasn't that much veg to use and I didn't have any bands to secure it with anyway, but I will bring some and veg it out next event.

The wilderness was still pretty dead, so the ACU actually did blend in quite nicely. I was picking off ghilled snipers a lot and I don't think any of them got me out either.

When the pic was taken I was raising hell for the other team. I was attacking a ton of buildings and barriers. I must of hit 3-4 of them and I kept more heads down too. I was doing all the work while a group of my comrades were just chilling out behind a wall. I was having a lot of fun until I was eventually spotted and shot.

aaron2269 · May 30, 2011

I repainted my rifle...again. I just did a dusting of light tan and ruddy brown over a dark green base-coat and I used some veg while painting to create a pattern. I will finish by putting some veg on it at games and I will be either painting or coating in mud the red parts of the rifle.

What do you all think?

aaron2269 · May 31, 2011

I used to think it was edgy. Anyway I am going to paint over the red in the very near future. If I don't paint it I'll give those parts a mud coating to cover them up.

aaron2269 · Jul 4, 2011

Thanks for the tip. The next time I paint my rifle I'll use 2echo's guide. It is similar to what I've been doing but much more refined.

I'm saving up for a battle belt and H-harness. Right now the cross draw vest is what I can afford.
Anyway I think they look tacticool.
