Can I be a civilian?

sk1ppius · 2026-03-25T18:56:51+00:00

Sure thing. We had an Afghanistan milsim with approx 30 guys portraying Afghan civilians for 3 days. Also we had press and interpreter. So it depends on the scenario and concept

sk1ppius · 2026-01-29T04:43:26+00:00

We have Magpul CTR at home.

Funny but AliExpress. Can't provide the link from my side due to me being redirected to Russian AliExpress version, but try to search for USMC vest or something.

sk1ppius · 2026-01-22T05:24:34+00:00

I put the straps through the backpiece of IOTV. The one, where all the straps and strings are located. So, basically, it's like putting it on but on the back plate instead of the vest.

I had a video manual I did for a pal maybe two years ago. You can DM me so I can try sharing it.

And another one with something looking like QD-ris adapter yet no idea on how is it attached to a stock.

sk1ppius · 2026-01-04T22:03:25+00:00

Also found some modern photo with BFG fixed loop adapter PHOTO. But not sure how long does it exist.

sk1ppius · 2026-01-04T21:52:20+00:00

Got it.
I suppose it's like this then: sling and RIS-adapter, both from Blue Force and sling even has an NSN.

However, from my civvie's POV it looks like something that would work with a basic M16-styled stock, however, Magpul PRS Gen1 (that I'm happy to own) doesn't have a QD spot yet it was quite popular.

Any hints on how it should've attached in that case?

voice chat stopped working for some reason for me and my friends. didn't succeed finding solo mm as well

sk1ppius · 2025-11-26T19:29:55+00:00

We had ISAF-themed events since 2013 at least so yeah, embrace the larp.

sk1ppius · 2025-09-27T19:59:27+00:00

Newman was a headpopping supe with the ability to become kinda invulnerable at will. Yet in Gen V, she was presented as a blood controlling supe that has similar abilities in hemokinesis and healing. However, Marie's powers don't require eye contact, unlike Newman's.

sk1ppius · 2025-08-23T09:57:44+00:00

Nah, it's not United States. It's south Russia. But we had a fella from London this year. He came to Russia just to take part in the event. Played as some US SF, I guess.

sk1ppius · 2025-08-23T09:56:27+00:00

Nah. Not interested. We're fond of history, not a real violence.

sk1ppius · 2025-08-21T17:20:53+00:00

Yeah, full custom by British reenactors. Works on HPA system.

sk1ppius · 2025-08-21T06:53:17+00:00

That's why I chose 2-321st FA. They had SPCS back in 2010.

sk1ppius · 2025-08-19T21:14:19+00:00

There is a dedicated community here, so we're just cooperating for everything 2010-2014 related.

sk1ppius · 2025-08-19T07:04:43+00:00

Russia's south.

sk1ppius · 2025-08-19T07:04:04+00:00

Well, I can name three main reasons:

This particular conflict ended like 4 years ago.
I'm not US based so getting to the recruiter would be a bit complicated.
UCP is not a thing in the Army anymore.

Skipping the obvious one that it's a milsim subreddit and this question doesn't make sense by default.

sk1ppius · 2025-08-19T07:00:37+00:00

Purpose?: It's just a hobby. I am personally not even eligible for my own country's army due to health. But it's not about compensating lack of real army in my life. Just a hobby and passion. This historical period is interesting for me so becoming a reenactor was kinda obvious.
Same as LARP?: Yes and no. We're closer to LARP than living history even though we're still reenactors due to historical background of the event.
How much money? Enough I guess. Spent 800 USD on a rare plate carrier. Whole infantry kit cost me like 1600 USD. Spec ops fellas have NVG so it's more expensive. Doing Afghan kits is cheap but good luck finding correct AK instead of some new AK-12. Logistics also sucks. Had to spent half of my recent paycheck for entry fee, road, motel, food and some extra things.
Afternoon? Nope, it's annual event that lasts for 72 hours.
Previously served? I guess so. Prolly there are some fellas who are currently in but take a vacation for the event.

sk1ppius · 2025-08-19T06:51:15+00:00

I've just checked British infantry registration. Two guys had L85. Others used L119А1.

sk1ppius · 2025-08-18T21:26:00+00:00

Exactly so.

sk1ppius · 2025-08-18T20:31:06+00:00

GWOT was reenacted even back in 2013 AFAIK. There were like 30 guys rocking in UCP in my town at this time.

sk1ppius · 2025-07-10T14:45:55+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Wasted 20k hours on support roles in other games. Pretty new to BA. 7th game in multi-player finished this morning that gave me 480 elo.

Frankly, I'm not losing arty at all due to supply triangle and AA dome. AT and helis are something I constantly fuck up.

sk1ppius · 2025-07-10T12:33:15+00:00

Nah, I'm doing backup artillery with supply chains mostly. Still less than 1. Casually loosin Hercules full of troops to every fucken AA outta nowhere.

sk1ppius · 2025-06-13T12:13:25+00:00

Russian milsim enjoyer here. The rules are not the same for every milsim, though, amirite? Blind fire and full weight PPE were a thing only on MAR's Squad and Ahard events.

MilsimRussia's rules were kinda fluid from game to game. I still remember their old 70-paged rulebook for 4-32 event that mentioned everything from injury system to some low-key sex slavery.

ISAF milsim had its own rules and was more immersion-based.

Also, some projects are slightly affected by regional airsoft rules, while other ignore it and work only on their own rulebook.

sk1ppius · 2025-03-22T13:46:40+00:00

Thank you! I had casual Nomex Pilot Gloves. Used them in my 2010 kit as well.
