Wanted to Show Off somewhere

Well if you ever find yourself going down south towards fort saint john we have over 20 players here in town and more in dawson creek, grand praire, pringe george...and so on.

Sweet outfit, Swatt.

I was gratified to see the last couple of seasons of SG-1 occasionally showed Army personnel in ACU (mostly as medics). Then the last couple of minutes of the last episode showed an SG team waking up the 'Gate ramp that was all Army. So I feel authentic. I suppose I need an ACU vest then. But I'd rther shift to coyote gear to wear with other camo or "civvie/contractor" type gear.

If you watch the leet magpul dynamics-gangster-sideways shooting video you'll also notice that they don't hold the vert grip like a "broomstick". In fact they don't even hold the vert grip at all....

Sweet setup though. The ACU's really blend in with the area during that time of the year. Also note that you probably shouldn't be playing below 0 degrees Celsius. Cracking mechboxes and all that jazz associated with cold weather.

Nice SG1 patches.

Edmonton winter games... Welcome... my first ever airsoft game was in what felt like -20

Yup, we're coming out of the woodwork up here. This was my set-up on this first afternoon-of-afternoons... It was cold and wet (hence the gators) but all in all a great first time out to try the new gear. I've got a the G&G M4, also from Ken at 007, with a D-Boys Crane Stock and D-Boys front end from ehobby. The Star 85rnd plastic mags only fed when you held the slightly forward, the D-Boys and G&G metal hi-caps worked fine.

We all play paintball up here, and are switching over to airsoft as it's cleaner, and we don't have to mess with gas - batteries are much easier.

As for the PEQ mounting... don't you guys find that mounting it on your top rail interferes with your RDS? I'm reading "Masters of Chaos" all about Spec Ops in Iraq right now... in the book the picts the green berets with M4's they all had the left side mounting... not sure if for the same reason (sight picture).

Cheers.

More pics to come, likely this weekend; more coolio.

And thanks to whomever put this thread in the proper forum grouping!

about the foregrip, how you hold it, it is just your own prefenrence. there is no rule that you have to hold in such way in order to have a good control on your gun. However, it is better for me to actually put my thumb parallel to the barrel.

thumb parallel to the barrel makes it easier to control everything while maneuvering the gun BUT with practice and a tighter grip wrapped around the foregrip is just as effective. So yeah is is mostly just personal preference. I like to hold it with my thumb parallel to the barrel too myself.

Yes, I know, -9 with windchill (-1 without) is too cold to play airsoft. Ah well. It lets us try out our cold weather camo...

A word on the gear:
Frozen Tex has the Tad Gear "multi environment green" softshell jacket with the ACU bottoms. Gunscythe is in full mutlicam. I'm wearing mulitcam bottoms with a fleece that fits well, with homemade 4x2 mag shingles.

In a few weeks we'll have some good gun-painting picts.
