I expect I'll be taking a standard MOD issue deployment bag, should carry everything I require for a weekend quite comfortably.

yeah there is info about clothing and sleeping - but nothing much about carrying

Yep just been added to the facebook group now and I have been put on HAS-MAD team!

Just me'n'thee then. There may be one more - Brit Tac said if a certain someone wishes to accompany me on HAS-MAD he can.

Could be just about even Formed Arces vs Freedom Fighters.

I suppose a member of SFSG could support his UKSF mates... bring 'em tea... talk about their feelings... pass them tissues when it's all going wrong... :P :lol:

Oh yeah, they do not allow DMR's over 370FPS locked off to semi or not - all AEG's and pistols are max 370, only bolt action rifles can be upto 500FPS. You can use electric/electronic detonators added to ordinary pyro - when I asked about this I said "not modifying the pyro, just making a glow wire touch the fuse", so by "yes" I expect they mean, like everywhere else, no modified pyro's but a device added to the fuse only is ok - additionally they said that you must have line of sight when you set one off and you cant put them in tight spaces like stairwells.

Lets get some practice making IED's, my brothers - PM for easy instructions on how with minimal expense.

Ah Talbert i miss my issued hold all, they were pretty damned useful, robust and versatile.

 
haha yeah, I have managed to fit all my mags/accessories/clothing etc... into it and I've still got some room! Rather good tbh! Due to that, i always take that to skirmish and that way I never forget anything

So....and forgive my excitement / boredom at work...but I decided to get a load-out together already. SO, I remembered Denzel Washington in Book of Eli and thought that would be quite good to copy (sorta)

Here are the pics.....

However, my concern now after doing all that is its not really 'Syria' type fighter...its more 'end of the world' or 'Kosovo' type freedom fighter PLUS as its also in May...the above clothing may be to warm?

Plus side is...I haven't purchased anything just yet and the boots are my normal skirmish boots

Side note - Weaponry, I will be using my AK 103 and Glock 17 and I'd love to finish the above loadout (should it be OK) with this (funds allowing!!!) - http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-shotguns-and-grenade-launchers/ktw-ithaca-m37-sawed-off-shotgun.htm#.UphqpcS-2-0

What do you think?

A lot of the Syrian rebels are wearing modern civvies, so I think you'd be alright with that gear. I'm planning on a few thin layers so I can strip off if I'm too hot / put them back on as needed. Just been having a look for some brown/tan/khaki/light grey Goretex kecks, in case it's wet. I don't mind being rained on on my head and upper body, in fact it can be quite nice when I've been pushing myself and getting a sweat on, but wet kecks is a whole different kettle of fish, as are wet feet.

but if I can finally get one in my size:

if it's looking like it might be really cold and wet, maybe:

and a DDPM cover over my usual bergen with a DDPM basha to wrap my sleeping shite up in. That's the plan so far anyway, but I'll have to see what Goretex kecks and islamic clothing I can pick up in the January sales.

Oh yeah, and one o'these buggers:

You know what I am having issues with....all the 'rebels' I Google are either wearing Green or US Woodland or Black clothing all of which we aren't allowed to wear :angry: :angry: :angry:

I was thinking of picking up a cheap poncho but again, they are all green!

 
Yeah, that's what made me think of the rubber mac - I have a poncho, but it's DPM and the only other ones I've seen are green. I think it's just Brit Tac's tradirion - the tan team are the baddies :lol:

 
Ian, what is that scarf wrap thing , I wanted one for my last milsim but couldn't give it a name so ended up googling Jedi robe or similar lol

 
Ian, you actually asked about pyro? Did they say anything about blank firing tripwires etc? I've had my eye on a couple and I'm just waiting for an excuse to get some!

 
They said you can't let them off in confined spaces like stairwells and that when setting off remote det IED stylee bangs you must have line of sight. Dunno if that disallows trip wire det, but probably not, eh? Someone should ask specifically though.

I've only just discovered 12g Alarm Trip Mines the other day - looks excellent, but I dunno about using shotgun blanks - seems a bit excessive, even if they're allowed. I'm looking into .209 primer adapters to use instead of the whole 12g blank.

 
There is an alternative, the door mines are a length of tube that hold a .25 http://www.socomtactical.net/airsoft-accessories-ammo/pyros-and-grenades/door-mine-booby-trap-or-alarm.html, although if I knew someone with the expertise to turn metal they could make an adapter for the 12guage to fit the 9mm's I use in my BFG so I was only carrying 1 type. On their rules they say only 9mm and below. I'll send over an email in a bit and see what comes back from it. Was thinking that a servo could be used to set them off remotely as well.

Yeah, socomtactical was one of the places I found. The thing with those door jobs is that attaching a servo to it is modifying it... insurance... my hole.... bla bla bla...

It may be possible to do it by attaching the door trap to a piece of wood and then attaching the servo to the wood also, so it's not modified in any way. Just an arse that they use .25 blanks.

It's the same with the 12g type. I'm pretty certain that a large M8 size castle nut with the thread filed down a bit would accept a 9mm blank and placing the castle side down would create holes for the gas to escape through - just a case of placing it carefully instead of a 12g blank. I'm sure your mate could make adapters exactly the same size as 12g blanks for any calibre we might want - 9mm, .22 rim fire, .209 shotgun primer, or .25 and make an adapter for Dynatex grenades and another for Ohshibooms so you could run everything on those... but unless he carries public liability insurance for his product, neither Brit Tac's, nor anybody else's, insurers would cover it's use at their events.

I've fired off a few emails so I'm hopeful at least one will come back with a solution. I'll let you know what a gwaan...

 
More places have been added to the event. It's 120 per team now and HAS-MAD only has 10 left so if anyone was interested before but didn't get it sorted before it was full, now's the time to step up with your £25 deposit.

It's in May ffs! Plenty of time to work out the logistics & details.

 
Hey Sgt, I'm on SFSG currently, probably will stay that way unless they are looking for people to swap. I'm on my own as well which is not great but just the way it is. Might ping off an email to them and see if they want to move me. Although I don't have any insurgent style stuff, not least of which are my RIFS which are all US or UK issue style.

 
looking at photos from other events it doesn't seem to really matter if you're rocking the syrian rebel look, or if you're just wearing tan and a black and white shemagh... loads of tricked out M4s on the 'red' force.

 
The one I was at we had rebels with more 'shinies' than the seals :P
