Getting bored over the weekend and having a digital camera has resulted in this:

Anything I do wrong? Uniform/pose/accessories/etc?


(Note: My eyes look black because I removed the red eye and that's the smallest setting I could get without looking too big/weird looking)



Discuss.

I thought JT just made paintball masks, and not regular goggles.

Marty: I used the beaver tail attachment that came with the laser pointer, that broke, so I put a mag light in there and secured with the screws.

Ch33zy: Yus :(

t00bsoks: They don't, I took my old paintball mask, and cut off the padding (cheap I know) but I do want to get normal goggles.

Sure, why not? It's a lot cheaper and easier than a machined mount, and just as effective until it rains.

I have kneepads, elbow pads are far down on my list.

Helmet cover, don't want one, I want more tactical look.

Gloves, have them, was way too fucking how with that gear on (Summer's night with a roaring fire going 10 feet away. And you can actually see them in my BDU pant's pocket there)

I reattached the Flaslight to the barrel (saw it on a documentary, looks better, less strain on the RIS). I also did a double mag, attached my blue halogen light, and I'm going to cut off the top carrying handle, attach a beaver tail for Aimpoints (it's an airsoft gun).

He's going for the stereotypical counter-terrorist look. Just add a balacava to complete the look I suppose.

Swat - Not a bike helmet, weird goggles? Yes. It's not web gear, it's a tac vest.

Fubar - Eh, I suppose your right, but, I just feel too lazy to purchase one and then put it on D:!

Ch33zy - I do have the balaclava, but it was making me sweat on top of the vest, shirt, pants, and helmet.

I was doing it for recreation, and I was curious what all you military guys could point out that I did wrong. And stereotypical look? Of course. :)

Tac vests ARE web gear: if you can attach something to it (molle, alice etc.) it's web gear.

big roger on that SWAT man.

Just because it's a vest, it don't mean it aint web gear. I've got an LBV with a belt and extra pouches along the belt - it holds my water, my ammo, my rations, my utensils, and all my other crap, so it's still considered webbing.

Webbing is your PATROL ORDER gear.

Simple mistake, sorry Swat.

(and if I notice from your post, I see you didn't know either Peregrine. ;) )
