Input on my future loadout.

[kromtar]

I was wanting some input on the future loadout. It is as follows.

My primary is my ares G36C with full metal rail system, 4x ACOG sight, Optional Silencer(works really well), Battle axe M4 Mag adapter, flashlight and madbull XM203 Grenade launcher. It is held up by a one point sling.

Next Is an optional TM Mp7 on a drop leg holster. Has a shorty mag so its good to go right away without being bulky. Will have a Z-point red dot. Not sure about this yett. I think I will just carry it with my sl-8 sniper. I really dont mind having lots of gear. I like options.

My Main side arm is a KJW m1911 meu. Has a 6.03 extended barrel with a silencer to conceal. Its either on a drop leg or on a shoulder holster.

Gear
Everything cadpat. If you are a cadpat hound like me you know how hard it is to find the good stuff.
cadpat pants, elbow and knee pads, scarf, commando hat and simple eye protection
cadpat plate carrier with 4 double m4 puches, med pouch, 2 pistol pouches, hydro pack, radio pouch, bear knife(where i'm from there are lots of bears around the fields. Buddies tease me but hey when they are cornered by a bear who are gonna cry to) and a large drop pouch.

left leg panel
2 grenade pouches, 4 grenade shell pouches

one Snicker 360° Gas Powered MKII Grenade
one SY Gas Powered M67 Type Hand Metal Grenade OD SY848
four Mad Bull XM204HP King Grenade BB Shower

Most of this stuff is already proven quite well but I would like some input on alternatives.

The G36 is built weird. You want a C I presume for CQB, so switch the ACOG for an appropriate sight. If you are aiming for an outdoor loadout drop the light. Consider going for the correct G36 grenade launcher with another riffle variant. Drop the mag adaptor, reliability is iffy.

Drop the MP7 if you have a pistol. You won't use a 240 fps gun.

Pistols with a silencer are a bitch to holster.

Drop the bear knife, a bear will smack you the fuck down and tear you to pieces. A small utility knife might be interesting, but edged weapons in airsoft is a bad idea.

Replace grenades with Tornadoes or just skip if outdoors.

Careful with rhe 204s, you have a MED with those.

I disagree about the reliabilty of mag conversions. I have a battle axe on my ca g36 and I have no problems with it. my g36c also has one however I havnt takes it yet.

[kromtar]

the acog on my g36 works well in the field. I can match the range with my buddies m16, scar and such but I do also love my reflex sight. quick and easy to aim.

I havent had a problem with a holster with my pistol yet. just takes a bit of practice.

I prefer m4 mags to the g36. I can put 2 in one pouch and they slide out easily. As for the g36 they are a bit bulky and catch on things. plus everytime I go prone the bottom of the mags get cracked.

A proper g36 grenade launcher would be neat but they arent worth the money to me.

I have never been impressed by tornadoes. I have had 4 thrown right besides me and nothing has happened. True some were in grass but 2 times they were on flat land. I would like to try one that doesn't need these circumstances in order to work.

my alternative assault rifle for longer range games is my ares tavor. Has great range and power. Its just more bulky and akward compared to the g36.

battleaxe magwell works fine, grab a box of 10 e-mags from milsig or somewhere else to make it look like its using the new pmags that magpul made for the g36

g36c tweaked outdoors can be pretty good and because its still shorter gives u decent mobility through the bush

An ACOG is fine for close quarters; you don't NEED a sight for close quarters usually (just looking over your sight is good enough) and when you occasionally need to either shoot far or look for something in the distance, the ACOG is wonderful. Most of my weapons have ACOGs on them.

Also, try to avoid putting stuff on your legs, unless you play straight CQB all the time. In the woods, if you go prone or whatever, you're liable to have it get caught on something, or have mags pop out of pistols, or whatever. Even walking through the woods branches like to get caught on stuff etc etc. You're way better off with nothing except maybe a kneepad or two on your legs.

Don't waste $$ putting an extended IB and "silencer" on your secondary. It will just hang out of your holster, be a pain to draw, and not be much more accurate than your stock GBB.

You are better off spending the IB/silencer money investing in a real holster, a Serpa, Sarariland, Bladetech, or similar.

There is a world of difference between cheap and crappy holsters, and a real tactical drop leg holster. I have a Bladetech for my USP Tactical, a Safariland for my MK 23, and a Serpa for my 1911. You hardly notice that a real leg holster is there. And they never drop mags. That's only the cheap, one size fits all knock off crapola rigs.

[FoxhoundNB]

"Dropping mags" happens when you're lying prone and the mag release is pressed by the ground or by your leg pressed against the ground or something similar. I've had it happen repeatedly with a real Serpa and a real BHP, and again with an AS holster and Hi-Capa. Which is why I carry my pistols on my vest now, as do most people I know.

[wurger]

To each his own I guess. I've never lost a mag from a RS leg holster.

All of my gear is on the sides of my plate carrier and on my legs. I hate going prone and laying on a bunch of expensive mags.

I already have gotten the extended barrel and silencer.It only cost 25$. It does make everyting better. The range doubled, the accuracy is very consistent and it raised the fps by 60 (came with better bucking). I dont find the silencer to get in the way of anything. it goes parallel to my leg but once I get my new rig its gonna go under my arm instead of on the drop let. Only think I dont like about it is that every mag or so it loosens the threads.

As for dropping mags, its never happened to me. My buddies have a few times but maybe its just their guns(i'm the only one with a 1911).

I had G36s (a lot) in the past.

You will want a 3pt sling with a RIS adapter at the front. If you don't know, it's a 2-pt sling that you can unclip to make it a 1pt or move your main rifle out of the way. It is nice with the single point and all, but after a long game you will feel that the weight is too much in front. Keep in mind that you have 8 metal mags (if you are hardcore) or 8 plastic mags + your rifle + your 40mms in the front, but only 3L of water and maybe a radio in the back... that is very uneven and you will find that your whole vest/plate carrier will move forward after a little while. I had a CIRAS and it did it, same with my RRV or with anything else. If you want to stay 1pt, take a 2pt sling and hook both ends to the G36's receiver spot. Then place it in bandolier. It will let you slide your rifle in your back if you have to travel and balance everything.

Again, flashlights are useless. If you really need one, your full G36 will be a pain to work around (forget about a flashlight for night games, all it does it kill your natural night vision and give away your position). You might want to get a small M3 for your 1911 instead.

Forget the silencer. If you ever play hard (I consider I don't play hard if I don't have heavy bruises in the back), you will break your gun in two. For ranges under what a stock AEG will do, you won't see a difference with the longer tightbore. I guess at that price that it was a combo pack from some retailler... it is garbage. You are way better getting a regular lenght PDI 6.03 or 6.01 and use that. Way more constant. That is the key at ranges where you can actually aim with the pistol's sights. You need to be able to point and shoot because you know the BB will hit there.

Along the same line, forget the drop leg. If you NEED to carry a pistol, get a hard BH-type holster and weave it on your MOLLE. In place of the admin pannel or under the opposite arm are nice places to put it out of the way and save from most damages. Especially if you WANT to keep the silencer. you will get some branch under it and only notice with the pain of it entering your soft leg tissue. Plus it will break your gun as noted above.

Forget the scarf. It won't make you any harder to spot, but it will make you sweat like a pig. Also forget the boonie hat. They are technically nice, but googles will fog in a second. I opted for a beret instead. Plus almost no one use them.

The MP7, though it look really nice, is completely useless. It is not much smaller than an MP5K, but you can't upgrade it at all. It will always shoot under 300 and always will be somewhat accurate. I had both some TM and some clone MP7, with one upgraded to the top with everything possible and 7.4v LiPo... still a piece of crap. If you REALLY like the look, get the KWA gaz version, with the reducer valve. It is very gameable. But for a secondary, unless it's for a Bolt-Action sniper shooting above 400, it is useless. The reason why some people play with an automatic secondary it there is a minimal engagement distance for high power rifles, plus it only shoots 1 BB per 2 seconds if you are good at it. You are done if there is more than 2 people closing on you or if you have been spotted.

I think I will go for that 3 point sling. I like the one point but with my other guns the weight does get to you after a good day of shoosting. The g36 on the other hand, I never notice its there. Even with a grenade launcher and scope on it. FYI the full metal rail system is actually lighter than the stock foregrip.

the flashlight is just there to look good. The gun looks empty without.

I love my MP7 but you are right I've got it going at 320 fps with .20 bbs. Its got great range for a small gun but with what everybody else is packing its not gonna stand up to them. I'll find a great use for it pretty soon.

For me weight is not really an issue, Im 6'7 and decently built. I would carry ammo, gas and snacks for everybody if i wouldn't get heck for doing so haha. My g36 looks like a p90 when its in my hands. I will admit it, I am a gear whore. If I have an empty pouch I will find something usefull to put in it. But from what i've seen my setup is pretty standard to what other guys will run. Besides the grenade launcher.

Got any experience with grenades like tornados? How affective are they and whats to keep them from smashing when you toss them?
