I would have LOVED a G3 Sg1 with the fold down bi-pod legs but then i know for a fact i might not have means of transporting it safely and not in view!...

Buy one of those long bags for fishing rods.

I must just say.
Why on earth do people walk around brandishing there RIF's...

Why?
The fact i dont drive and may have to either
A. Use Public Transport
B. Cycle to a site with guns/mags/ammo inside a bag strapped to back of custom bike rack (Made from an abandoned shopping trolley ! =D )

Has greatly influenced my choice in gear.
I would love a Sig 550. But no i settled for the Sig 552 so it would fit in a holdall.
Same with the G36c i have.
And even my M41 SAR OFFIZIER G3. I would have LOVED a G3 Sg1 with the fold down bi-pod legs but then i know for a fact i might not have means of transporting it safely and not in view!...

Yeah you're right tekno, should've been clearer about his stature i guess!haha Put it this way, this guy was really short and fat, kinda looking like the brittish army have let them selves go a bit

BTW funiest thing ive seen was when i picked up a guy who lives near me on the way to a skirmish one early sunday morning. This guys huge by the way, like a good twenty plus stone and five foot something, all dressed up in brittish dpm gear. He had to get cash out so we swang by Lloyds, as hes using the atm an old boy walks past, stops, looks at him and says in absolute disgust - "Bloody... Hell............., Great F**king Brittain!"

Ive seen teenagers over 6 foot so he isnt really that 'huge'

As others have pointed out, the majority of this thread proves how much the public are behind our troops- it's truly heartening when you do get such support. They may not support the cause but by hell they support the lads out there, and for good reason too.

So, I may not fully agree when you don't correct someone who's assuming you're in the forces, but I know it can be hard to explain exactly what airsoft is at times.

Have to agree with TwinTurboCH, I think people should think more about how things are going to be percieved by others. Most people are not aware of airsoft, and the mere sight of someone walking arround in full millitary gear ( Whilst clearly not being Brittish Army ) is enough to arrouse suspicion. The way the media is geared up aswell in this country means that anything out of the norm is enough to get the old grannies net curttains twitching more than usual. Its just about being sensible

Quite a weird one. At the '10 weekender just after we arrived, Artekus, Aeviv and I drove down to the local supermarket (Morrisons If I remember correctly) to stock up on food. So we were wondering around with a trolley each in DPM trousers, boots, and treadstone tshirts. We got a lot of funny looks and some guy even asked 'so, what's treadstone then?' followed by the usual 'oh it's like paintball, but not like paintball' conversation.

Didn't help that we also bought enough food and beer to live for weeks.

No, the point is it shouldn't HAVE to be a RULE, people should do it out of common sense. Not sure why you are picking on my post, I'm the one saying it should be THE NORM and not just a Mall thing.
Also, guys in full combats still walk up to the highstreet, my point was, how hard is it to change a jacket or something and make yourself look less of a threat.

Lol, im not picking on you. I was just adding that there was a rule and a large poster on the door out on to the street to prevent anyone doing anything else. Im on your side!

Re: what's the weirdest thing to happen to you on the way or from a game?

break that rule, get banned from site, and UKARA registration as well as skirmishing membership revoked, and render you with no defence...

sounds pretty relevant to me :S

That's not really relevant, the point remains the same.

The mall has a rather strict policy about people walking around outside in their tac gear anyway...
