one of my more... artistic (?) shots.


Now a 'namsofter. I have an M72 L.A.W. for sale for 110 posted, PM if interested.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Yeah, the BAR belt is a bit yellow (in fact its almost hay coloured, from soldier of Fortune) the harness straps are from epic and have slightly more greenish tinge to them...

The BAR is indeed awsome, and as you point out probably not so rare in the future with this Clone coming out! Although hopefully the VFC will still have a better finish (and the Official Browning trademarks of course!)

The look is for a typical G.I infantry man but at a pinch could pass as Bastogne Airborne (I need the modified trousers though(?)).

I was thinking on getting a bi-pod, but the truth is that the gun looks so much better without it! Plus I usually fire from the hip (a 9.6v battery ensures a constant stream of bb's that you can drag onto targets like a Ghostbusters proton pack!) or from the shoulder.

I take it you dont play with ammo limits then, as that would be a cracking tactic for about 35 seconds until your ammo ran out at a PBI or CiA game with 300 rounds a man! :)

:D For scenario play we do use ammo limits, but usually its just the usual quick turn-a-round Deathmatches (a private site on a farm)

The usual commercial site we play is Shoot 'n' Scoot's The Hill, but God Damn we need to get off our asses to a CIA Weekender.

Just waiting for the correct scenario (my mates and myself have Late War, Western Europe kit) as it is a bit of hike from North of Aberdeen to a CIA game's usual playing locations!

Nice to see 82nd instead of 101st that most seem to do. You can keep the Hershey bars though, damn things are horrid :lol:

Shock, horror - my infantry loadout! Anybody who knows me will know I'm Airborne all the way so this was a bit of a culture shock. Pending a few changes to the webbing (No M3 knife etc) and insignia (change from 29th to 1st I.D) and having a belt on my pants...

Constructive criticism welcome baring in mind I know buggerall about infantry loadouts!

That kit looks cool! As someone who has never done a US impression, I've always liked the Yank infantry look better than their airbourne gear.

Well I don't know whether it looks better than PIR, that might be going a bit far but don't think it looks too bad...

And hey, who y'all callin' simple!
