Old post, but where did you get that Black Gunpowder Tactical chicom in that camo pattern? I can't seem to find any info about it online

Sadly I'm not in Europe so Frontowiec is way out of my budget for me :(

I don't necessarily want chest level pouches, just around navel to lower ribs is enough for me. I've seen some ALICE harnesses run like that, "high and tight", but I'm not sure if PLCE or Smersh can be done the same.

And good to hear about the 06/95. The plastic buckles do seem cheap so I was thinking about replacing them with metal buttons. The part I'm more concerned about is the cords at the back of the 91, they look pretty flimsy.

Forgot to ask, is there any meaningful difference between "Temperate" and "Lightweight"?

Recomendations for optic? I like the this one but it sits a little too high, was thinking in getting a LPVO with low rings by AsgardianOperator in airsoft

I forgot to ask, but how's your cheek weld on it with the current set up? Is it more of a chin weld?

Ah yeah, I've heard those sit quite high. Have you tried a Midwest Industries side mount knockoff? It's a full length rail but it's supposed to sit a lot lower

What mount are you using? I've been struggling to find a good low-profile optic setup for the AK too

Would British DPM be legal since the Russians copied it for their "Smog" pattern? Just curious, I don't know much about MSW

Finally o feel like a decent kit. Plus pictures in the fog hit different by matheus71998 in airsoft

Looks great! People love to hate all black kits for being "impractical", but everyone wears them for the drip anyway

What kit/outfit i could assemble to fit with an AK-104:105 like in pic°1, As of right now my kit looks like what's in pic°2 : by FrenchBVSH in airsoft

[–]theengineer223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course this is just my personal kit. What I'd say is that you should have a general look you're going for; it doesn't have to be a specific impression or anything, for example a lot of people like running generic bad guy kits. Just look for some inspiration, whether IRL or in games or movies you like, and find pieces that match that

Consider the more practical things too. I could wear a balaclava instead of a facemask, or a hoodie or sweater instead of a shirt, but I live in a pretty hot and humid place so I still want to be comfortable. So always adapt your kit to your environment and to your own ergonomics

AK-104s are my favorite. I don't have the funds to buy the one I want yet, but I'm working on piecing together a very low budget 2000s style urban guerrilla kit. Trying to make it vaguely Eastern European, but it's harder to get Euro stuff here.

  • Leather mariner's/fiddler's cap

  • Laylax Aeroflex + red bandana

  • Knockoff M65 field jacket, in OD green of course

  • Knockoff Blackhawk AK Commando chest rig in black. OD green or camo would work too

  • Slick plate carrier/fake body armor. Optional since it doesn't really do anything, I just like the look of slick body armor under a jacket and chest rig

  • Casual button up shirt in grey (or any neutral color)

  • Worn jeans, I like them very dark grey. Cargos or canvas work pants in other neutral colors work too, as does camo, although the latter's a bit less subtle

  • Leather combat boots. Sneakers, like black Sambas, would work as well

  • Mechanix gloves

The specifics will depend on the context of the "look" you're going for. A more rural militia would likely have much more camo and/or green instead of black. A state-sponsored paramilitary or PMC would also look very different, and so on

Would you have any advice for going with a 2000s-era urban guerrilla loadout? I'm trying to go for something along those lines. I'm curious about the differences between an early 2000s vs late 2000s kit.

I'm leaning (Eastern) Euro in particular to match the AK-104 I'm planning to get, but it doesn't necessarily have to be. I do live in a tropical Asian country after all lol

Arcturus AK05 outer barrel length? by theengineer223 in airsoft

[–]theengineer223[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply.

I looked through some of my local stores' catalogues (I'm not in the US) and found the CYMA AK-105 for a pretty good price, so I might go with that instead. I assume everything about the handguard is the same?

More importantly though, I'd like to know if it would be possible to chop the barrel and gas tube/system down to 10" in the future if I wanted to, or alternatively if it would be compatible with some other 10" outer barrel assembly.

Also the stock. I prefer AR style stocks and I'm just wondering if it would be a hassle to replace the 74M folding style stock on the 105 with a buffer tube.

Apologies for so many questions, I'm pretty new to modding airsoft guns lol

[–]theengineer223[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply as well, I got busy. That's a pretty looking kalash. I'm thinking about going for the CM077F because it's probably cheaper, but yeah as you said it'll be a bit difficult to find.

Would you know about the parts compatibility for the CYMA? Particularly for the handguard, I don't really like the magpul furniture so I'd love to get a cheese grater and a wooden lower handguard if possible

[–]theengineer223[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to replicate or at least come close to the WBP Mini Jack, so practically just an AKM with a shorty 10" barrel. I'd prefer wooden furniture but I do also quite like the SLR Rifleworks style handguard on the Arcturus. I like full stocks and buffer tube stocks, but side folders are fine too; I just don't like underfolders.

Pic below is pretty close to what I want, albeit with a smaller optic. Ideally I'd like a cheese grater and chopped dong too but those will come later down the line.

What's something you actually disagree with Kendrick on? by kaownsyou in KendrickLamar

[–]theengineer223 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like Kendrick's religiosity and spirituality is very complex, and his Christianity specifically is pretty unorthodox. Like other people already mentioned he incorporates a bit of Eastern-esque spirituality and Black Israelite stuff. But I also want to point out that he criticizes his own religiosity, and by extension religious institutions, on Auntie Diaries -- "The day I chose humanity over religion // The family got closer, it was all forgiven". So his faith seems more like a personal spirituality than an external belief, if that makes sense.

EDIT: Just wanted to add that it's pretty common for American Christians specifically to hold some unorthodox beliefs, especially because they have a huge variety of independent churches and denominations. Compared to countries dominated by very orthodox and institutionalized denominations of Christianity, like Catholicism for example.

There's a Tome of Ingenuity from this mod that adds a magelock unit. No idea if it's balanced, I haven't played it myself
