China Made Airsoft Plastic Molle 2X 7.62 Magazine Pouch x 3 ~ £31.50 inc P&P - Fleabay

- I bought 1 pair last month to check them out & they hold L1A1 mags perfectly. With 1 of the rubber bands taken off they release them too! (Actually you can get them out with both bands on, but not easily, and taking 1 off doesn't make them loose.)

Pair of Black Regatta Goretex Kecks ~ £8.50 inc P&P lol - Fleabay

- for my black loadout

& from ehobbyasia:

Guarder Silencer for WA/KWC Mini UZI (with 14mm CCW Adaptor) ~ $72.00

Will be picking up a Flyye Hydration pack in CB from an old mate that doesn't play anymore.

Since you're not trying to copy any existing military force or anything, I'd go for a Harris up front AND a standard foregrip, think it can look pretteh baus.

I am kind of basing it of the SEALs one, so a kind of SF look

Could be a blessing in disguise. Gen II SRC guns don't have a good rep. How much was it?

I just bought a pair of Lvl IV ballistic plates for £40.11 inc P&P from fleabay.

& that is it!

Edit: except this...

VIPER DROP LEG DUMP BAG LARGE ~ £16.95 inc P&P

'Bout £150. I was after an M16 in what I call the Tier 2 price range (£100-£200) for a marine setup, but I'm possibly going to get an ACM shotgun so I can continue with the marine setup. The shotgun is styled after a Remington 870MCS shotgun and I believe that the USMC use 870s. Only problem is that the stock mags stick out of the bottom, however G&P make shorter mags for the shotguns that ACM cloned, so with a little expendature I'll get a true 870

I think the US Marines now use the Benelli M4 Super 90, otherwise known by the US Military designation - M1014, which you'll probably know from some CoD game or BF3.

British Army are using them as well now (hint hint Ed)

Problem is that the only M1014 shotgun under £200 is the Double Eagle shitface thing. I'd much rather buy something under £200 because it'd have to be painted, and I don't want to buy an expensive gun which would have to be ruined by a bright green finish.

Nick, we've had those for years now

The double eagle tri shots aren't bad, for the price they're well worth. Cheap usable weapons

I know D=

I'm not much of a shotgun guy though. I'm also put off by the fact it's a pump shotty in airsoft, but a semi auto in real life. I'm all about authenticity as you know and shotguns just aren't real enough.

I imagine the airsoft one is made of some horrendous paper light plastic too.

What about this Tac?

http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/cawmosquito-spring-shotgun--m1014-benelli-m4

Under £200 and it's a Benelli M4 Super 90.

Even I'm tempted at that price tbh... Even if it is plastic =[

It is out of stock though... Plus I've never even heard of CAW...

 

[TacMaster]

I had the double eagle M3 version of the tri-shot and it only worked on .12s, with virtually no accuracy. I'd much rather have the ACM M3 and use it in some sort of special forces/law enforcement setup, I'm not very interested in having a totally realistic setup gear wise.

edit: Ed, CAW make stupidly expensive clones of weapons, they have an ICS MGL clone for £300. Mosquito, better known as mosquito moulds, make tiny RIS mounted GLs (http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/mosquito-molds-m203-mini-launcher). The shotgun you linked is just an expensive version of the double eagle weapon. The double eagle version has the exact same metallastic ratio and it's about £90 cheaper .

 

[M_P]

CAW are not a clone manufacturer. It stands for craft apple works (i think)

Their revolving launcher is not a clone of the ICS, it's much older- and looks nothing like the ICS

They focus more on niche items- launchers etc.

As far as i now, they dont make stuff anymore, atleast I havent seen anything new from them- atleast not the UK anyway.

Their shotgun ed linked to again is not the same as the double eagle one either.

I'm surprised you haven't done a L129 build yet!!

There's your answer Nick. You can't make an airsoft L129a1

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I've thought about it, but the right parts aren't available yet, plus I'd rather drink bleach than touch a V2 gearbox again for a long while.
