yup.... no shit i actually thought this guy was from a sof ranger unit and got a bonner... then i looked up green mountain rangers and shit my pants. fml
Yea dude. Plus the fact that half the time actual dudes in the field can't get their hands on the stuff because the airsoft market has most of the good stuff sold out. Who do you know that can skip out of the shop and sit on the computer and order stuff as soon as it gets in with their parents credit card
Most of these guys were ex military anyway, I believe USMC and I presume most of their gear carry’s over from that, and they also do real steel stuff so it’s not only for ‘airsoft’
I watched this 7 years ago. That time, I thought these guys were on the weird side for getting too involved with airsoft using real-steel gear. However, damn I've got to admit, we are now in a time where Force-on-Force training is very beneficial for training purposes using airsoft and other alternatives.
All the people saying "WTF all that money on Airsoft gear?!" have either no brain or no common sense. Have you ever heard of Milsim? These guys seem to go balls the wall with it and that's awesome. I haven't done Airsoft in a few years but I spent more on the guns than I did on the gear. Personally, Condor worked fine for a MOLLE Load Bearing Chest Rig and I used a mix of surplus MOLLE gear, Condor and 5.11. My BDUs were just TruSpec Woodland Camo from a local surplus store. I probably spent $200 on my airsoft loadout but $600 on the guns, ammo, batteries and mags.
If you put the drop leg holster, like only 1 inch below your belt, it doesn't get cumbersome, doesn't hinder your movement, and don't get uncomfortable .... For what i've seen on your video about machine gun theory, you used to run the drop leg holster almost at your knee
abc4781 This is why i run my holster 1 inch bellow my belt line, this way the pistol is in the exact same height as my hip (belt line) While using this type of holster, while the holster is exactly over the belt line, the pistol sit's higher. My elbow always hit's the pistol. and the pistol always snug in the plate carrier.
These comments are hilarious. "You spend way too much money on airsoft, what an idiot." You mean "I wish I could afford that." If I see a Lambo on the street, my first thought isn't "why does that douche spend so much money on a car?" but rather "That's a badass car!"
+UBCS Wraith If you dont like airsoft, or that type of car, you saying "you spend way to much money on airsoft" still means he spends way to much money on airsoft. I'm a Ferrari type of guy anyways... but thanksF
Juan Rivera To some people, a $400,000 Lambo or Ferrari is too much, to others it's not. To some, a $45,000 BMW is too much, to others it's not. To some, a $14,000 Honda Civic is still too much, to others it's not. My "too much money" is someone else's realm of acceptability due to their level of income and vice-versa, which is fine because this is America.
+UBCS Wraith these are grown men, they should buy real firearms and train with those instead. they obviously have the funds. or better yet join the military if they havent already
1999samtheman There's a difference between slinging lead at paper targets, and slinging plastic and REAL targets. Additionally, there's a huge difference between playing airsoft and joining the military. Personally, I do all three. They're all VERY different.
The LBT 6094A you're looking at $350, the Eagle MAP is ~$250, a set of Blackhawk! HPFU (non-ITS - they took out the tourniquets anyway) in DM3 is $250, a MICH 2000 is about $625, the PVS 14 is around $3,000, the H-nape is $66, the Skydex pads are $85, the CToms CMC M-Harness is $766. Without counting the pistol, camera, helmet mount, kydex holsters/pouches, lights, pads, etc it's already a lot of money. Also, the Systema PTW they use is around $1500.
thanks mountain rangers, your level of enthusiasm for this sport is enough to keep players on thier feet, good review, i dont have the loadout you guys have but if i have the money id invest as well, for the love of the game ooyah, nevermind the bullocks
I don't get why everyone gives the guy shit. Yes its airsoft, but because its all real gear, replace airsoft mags with pmags and use an AR and now all of a sudden its a completely legitimate load out. He has fun I'm sure and it gives him an opportunity to train with gear in scenarios beyond sitting in a computer chair eating doritos. I don't have any interest in airsoft personally and there seems to be plenty of herp derp, but that doesn't apply here.
I would never use that shitty of a kit. 1st the NODs he has suck. They don’t focus at all and they fuck your vision up. The plate carrier while it being a swimmers cut is too short and will not protect lower abdomen. He only has three mags which is 90 rounds, too few. Standard loadout is 210 rounds which is 7 mags. Therefore not a practical kit for being a legit loadout
I don't get why people are complaining about how much they spend they play at many events and I don't think anyone would want some cheap piece of garbage that would only last 1-2 games than having something that is reliable and would last for a long time
People who like fishing spend 100sand 1000s of dollars on rods, bait, chairs, tools, and gear to make there hunting more fun. But sit on a computer and critic these people for wanting to have a hobby and COMPANY of their and their own way of life. Piss off would you and just let him do what he wants no matter how dumb you think it is.
It seems that chest webbing/rig is the popular choice these days, but very few people pay much attention to the old school AUS/NZ style waistbelt webbing. It offers much better mobility from different fire positions and actually has a much better carrying capacity. Only difference is that it's difficult to set up but it's much easier to handle once it has been assembled.
I still kick myself for not loading up on the HPFUs back in the day. Most ppl I see in the comments are too young to remember what we did to improve kit and build loadouts back then. This video was is a good example of what paved the way to what we see today. Oh and because of companies like surefire that sued to corner markets. Pentagon lights were kicking their a$$
I've seen some of your unit's vids. You guys are great using the gear your recommending and working as a team. In fact from my perspective a lot of teams didn't want to compete at against you. Brit then US forces for a time trained with paintball. Now its symunitions. I'm sure airsoft is cheaper and hurts a little less. It's surprising how little kit you have for the urban war games. Never apologize for being the best. That you are willing to help others to a point is commendable. I make my own tactical gear. My company was KLS Tactical. I was also an armed security officer, and a Sgt in the USAF. You guys rock! Too many young men have become " femininized." Play hard. Life changes. Can't always do what you want to do.
GMR has a higher production quality than, for instance, Deathcore and can rival the video marketing sections of ASGI and Evike but GMR isn't trying to sell sub-standard gear and pretending it's a perfect gift from God. They have the money and experience to know what they're talking about and build a good and useful loadout. However, as players they now have the reputation to be confrontational, arrogant and cheaters. I would never want to be on the same field as them. As players, they're hated but as content creators, they make the effort to be a step up from the others.
Well, firstly, nearly half of the people in the Milsim community are former or active duty military. Its used as a treatment for PTSD. Along with that under federal law in the United States, airsoft guns are classified as firearms. Which is the reason they can't to be purchased by anyone younger then eighteen.
Samdo123 I'd like to clarify for you that they are considered to be unrestricted "replica" firearms, which means that they do not have many of the same restrictions as a real firearm. Much of the restrictions imposed upon them vary from state-to-state.
ThatGuy 1. They probably all have a lot of real weapons. 2. What do you do with a real weapon anyways? "Oh yeah I'm showing that water melon what's up!" Or you can get airsoft gear, and actually get into some action and if available to some like actually long battles. I'm going to a over night game on the next weekend, It's going to be about 10 hours of pure fun with my friend and the other participants. These guys (like many others) have just realised that airsofting is actually way more interesting than going to a gun range and shooting a bunch of targets. I mean if they wanted to do that all day every day they can, and they have all probably tried it.
If you knew anything you would know paintball and airsoft was first adopted by the military as a means of training. Reaction to the same conditions and stress as a real firefight without implementation of real death.
Ahhh....another online exchange in the comments sections between UA-cam geniuses. I'm a former soldier and LEO and know quite a few people in both those professions that play airsoft as well. Most people are smart enough to be able to tell the difference between a game and the real thing---which is obviously quite different. Looking at this loadout, nothing really seemed to be missing or out of place (except for an IFAK/CAT) to me. Then again, as this is for a GAME, he doesn't need an IFAK/CAT. Kit looks expensive/high speed (wish I had some of this gear) and if this setup/loadout works for him and his group, who cares what the rest of us think about it?
my first question is have you ever been active duty? second question is if you havent, you should. my statement to you is; I guess if it got real here in the states you would be well equipped but could you actually pull the trigger and take someone's life?
shit, my gun alone right now is over $500. People can say "holy shit, you spent that much on an airsoft gun" well guess what, I don't drink and party so all that money they blow on alcohol I'm using for airsoft which is a much healthier hobby than drinking my liver to death. Its fun and is better than working just your fingers on a controller, I play some video games too but I'm just saying. people have different ways of looking at the same hobby. People also spend more money on the same hobby, just depends how into you are and how much you are willing to spend and then also you get into Milsim events vs open play and stuff.
And while you don't party, drink, or be social, we're out making friends and memories that we won't be ashamed of talking about for years to come while you can't talk about your hobby without everyone laughing in your face.
+Juan Vega nah man. I got plenty of memories in airsoft and outside of it. Talk about the airsoft memories with my airsoft buddies and talk about other shit with others. I love saving my liver and not getting arrested for doing stupid shit while I'm out getting intoxicated...
You act like drinking every other weekend or so is going to "destroy" your liver. The only way that would happen is if you're constantly drinking every day and then you're just an alcoholic. And I've been to parties with over 250+ people and I've never been arrested when they get busted. Never had to run from them either. As long as you're respectful, they'll let you go. To much paperwork for a bunch of people just having some fun.
+Juan Vega depends how you drink and where you drink. It hurts your liver no matter what especially getting drunk. it makes it work twice as hard to filter the alcohol. I've drank and been drunk before. you act like you know so so much about airsoft. why you looking at videos of it when it's such a joke since you know people laugh in my face when I tell em my airsoft stories... you are on here. don't let your friends find out you were watching airsoft videos man. my friends are cool with it. let em laugh cause they ain't real friends then.
I never once said I knew anything about airsoft but ok. And by drinking, I mean going out with friends and partying, not getting drunk off of the communion wine like I'm sure you have. And I was actually looking up videos on how different people have their REAL chest rigs set up and this video didn't say it was airsoft until I saw him pull out those mags. I own real rifles and put together a real chest rig and a real plate carrier. Now that's fun. Good luck when someone comes kicking in your door and all you can do is shoot BBs at him. Or when civil chaos occurs. I'm sure you'll be right on top of the food chain with your $500 toy lol.
+karatekid37 Brownbelt I don't know if he served or not, but this is a airsoft video not a real military video. However him being military or not thank your for thanking our military.
A fighting stance is something you learn in the military, and in my experience, in the Marine Corps. It's the stance that best supports combat marksmanship.
these aren't veterans, maybe dishonorable discharge, if they can't even obey orders of game staff at ops and get banned they would never make it through training
This is why I don't think I could ever join a team, I cant deal with that type of uniformity. I like to be my own player, it doesn't mean I cant work with other people. For example, I enjoy running a leg rig because that's where my hands naturally are, but this team only used hip rigs.
The only "uniformed" things in my "team" (more like a couple of dudes who play together very often) is the camo. About the equipment is everyone by himself, although we try to have things organized in the same way and +/- in the same spots
People are talking too much crap about this video. Every piece of gear in airsoft has a purpose. So it's up to the user to determine if it is worth the extra weight. Plus Airsoft is not a "game", it's a SPORT.
GrapeJuice, thats your opinion. American Football isnt a sport just because its not in the olympics? Car racing? Rugby? Motorcross? Bowling? You sir need to look up the definition of a sport.
***** dictionary.reference.com/browse/sport?s=t Click that link and look at the definition of sport. Its both a hobby and a sport dude, get your facts right before you talk sh!t.
I run an Arma 2 gaming community and we have an Ex British Army Commando in the group. His opinion is that if he sees someone wearing army commando clothing then they're just showing support because they like that unit and he takes it as a compliment. As long as they don't turn up to like military events pretending to be actual military guys then it's fine. I wear Royal Marines stuff to airsoft. I don't think there's a problem with it as long as I make it clear that I just like them, I'm not one
I am support in team honey badger based from Tiverton, Devon, England and I think this is a really good loadout I no peeps who are ex paras and they happily do airsoft I'd love to have a load out like this but have nor the money or time to create it... Grate work guys keep it up... 🔫🔫🔫🔫
This WOULD be cool if you're using this gear for real applications with real firearms, etc and the gear just carried over to airsoft with a "train like you fight" mentality, but if all this is solely used for airsoft... it's pretty dumb and real "geardo". NVGs and coms are awesome to have for real application, but utilizing this for airsoft only is impractical and most of it is just for looking "cool".
Scrolling through the comments after 4 years is interesting,never thought I would find you here.If you look at there new videos they do have a "train as you fight" mentality they use the same kit for real steal and force on force, UTM and Airsoft.
Actually if you played airsoft you would know, nvgs are amazing at milsim ops and night games the carrier is to carry your magazines wow who would have known dude your a dumbass it has use you fucking idiot
The MBSS Modular Assault Pack made by Pantac will fit on any PALs wbbing on plate carriers. It also has straps to carry if you don't want to put it on your carrier and can be tucked into the pack to use on your carrier.
You buy the tubes, there's decent quality ones for 500-600, you get a housing and the optics, take it to a specialty shop and get it professionally purged and filled with nitrogen to extend tube life and ta-daa. You just got yourself a PVS 14 for 1100-1200 bucks instead of having to drop 3k.
It is the 6094a in CB and it looks different simply due to the PIG cummerbund (making it slimmer and the pouch setup, not to mention the different display the PC is sitting on.)
or you know... lbt carriers are legit. but not for throwing plastic bb's at each other. a cheapo vest off ebay will do more for you than one of these will ( for airsoft, of course lbt and eagle beat everything ).
I am old school Vietnam era, and this vid is GREAT!!! I thought my outfit was smoothed out, I will be changing a few things. you guys are great...right on Vaz(Vazquez)
I Got a black ops M4 Viper and use it at very small scrimmages It has lasted me years and years I actually would recommend it for beginners and airsofters that are actually good at keeping guns maintained. My other teamates just use MP5's and Shotguns.
Awwww everyone thinking there actually in the military get a grip of your lives and actually sign up and then you can call them weapons and not these little toys
this is bordering on disrespectful to the military. Imagine this: little tommy goes for his 12th birthday to his local airsoft field with his friends the GMR where there as well little tommy is now is now in rehabilitation and suffers from severe nightmares.
How is it disrespectful? Lots of military vest play airsofting. I'm sure some of these guys are vets. Also I've asked tons of vets how they feel about people impersonating military style loadouts in Airsoft. Most of them said they could care less. If that's what there into then that's what there into. Even some saying they wish they would have gotten into it. As long as they don't wear any military unit patch its fine.
Michael Ring were you ever in the Military? Probably not. So you don't have the right to talk on behalf of them. Also so what. If that's what there into then let me be. Shit I would love to get into this just piss people like you off.
Great video. I see so many negative comments. Training is key. Even if that training is just to train it is still beneficial to the mind and body. It's what we call living insurance rather than death (life) insurance.
+USMC_0311_WARDOG Since its just a game I'm pretty sure they are fitting the gear to the mission. If you really are a grunt, then you know how difficult it is to be fast in all that gear. none of their games are extended play, requiring that they pack for an extended mission. Your comment is invalid.
+Sid Airbrush 70 pound pack vest vest gear n all mags flashlight map radio FAQ what ever wat not. I mean yes u need to be fast that's the point of training
Yes. But again... This is a game. When I went on extended ops I humped close to100 lbs of gear, water, food, mission critical equipment etc. Your gear fits your mission. If your mission is bb wars, then bare bones is sop.
"OverKIll" Yep..... Back in the early 90's we just wore overalls and knee/elbow pads, combat boots and fingerless gloves. And skiing goggles!! Now days its simulations with 'plastic' crap strapped to your body, My team used 'drop-leg' holsters as it was faster to withdrawal pistol! Things have changed from back in the days of gaming!!
Greetings from the New York Recon Marines. I've been away for awhile and as has come to my attention that lion claws has banned you from their events until further notice. Well I'm putting together a new facility .. If you're interested in learning about it send me a message. They are not the only ones that have a field ...... Together we can hold military style events so don't worry about it brother
if you do not have a ton of money for the highest grade gear you can often closely mimic the load out for the same effect with a lower price.i do not have the best gear yet it gets the job done
Actually, these people are not doing this as a hobby per say. They actually tour nation-wide and internationally as a Airsoft team. Their equipment isn't cheap either. The airsoft rifle they use cost around $1400 per unit. Check out their website. They have a history of their group and the things they do.
I would not be surprised if they are close to 10k with all their stuff...NODS alone are 2-6k depending on Gen. The plate carrier as configured is probably closed to 1500.
There's also the disadvantage of people shooting back. Let's think this through. In airsoft the chance of dying is near 0, it's a hobby and not a job, the team gets to wear whatever they want and not have to follow any regs. And it gets better - since he's in the US, he can also shoot real weapons.
At least some of us get off the couch and do something with our lives. And not everyone who plays airsoft just plays airsoft. Many people do real steel too and this info is valuable to those of us who do live fire events with real steel and are looking to improve our own kits.
Every person has a different level of playing airsoft. These guys like to play it as real and close to its big brother while some just see it as a break from their boring routines. MilSim is one way and if you know the history where this game came from you would understand that making it look for real is the way of the game. The important thing is to enjoy the game whether you're in your skivvies or wearing full gear...
After 10 years of war, the Military Industrial Complex Mecca (us, the US) was more than happy to find the Modern Military Re-enactor aka the Mil-Sim Airsoft Player as another expansive Buyers Market
Great gear video. Thank you for the explanations of why and why not, I can tell its from trial and error. Very helpful. Are all of these things available to civilians?
Your belt is your first line, not your second. Your second line is your vest. Oh and your BLACKHAWK! uniforms are just Desert Digital, and certainly not AOR1.
no airsoft is not for soldiers, its only inspired by the army's methods of trainning any soldier it trains you to be disciplined, to improvise, to be fast and it requires you to be in good shape, also alternately it allows you to do wargames instead of actually going to war and killing people while risking being killed airsoft is an extreme sport if professional or just a fun exercise if you play for pure fun :)
Yes. I have gotten my airsoft rifle for $130 and it has lasted me two years as of next week. But when I played paintball I had to get a $300 dollar gun. Airsoft and Paintball are AWESOME but they are different in many many ways
Also, those old, rusty buckets with some of that 60's lead-based paints still encrusted inside of it and flaking off. Trust me it will increase your chances of not seeing anything and possibly getting cancer. Its a really good helmet you can even duct tape a disposable camera to the side to record gameplay. If duct tape is too expensive i suggest scotch tape or elmers school glue.
Pretty much, I was basically saying that airsoft is great for those who don't want to join the military for the real thing. In fact most people IN the military loathe the idea of killing someone, whether they're a basic grunt or highly trained operator like MARSOC or Rangers.
he may be in the military, airsoft is a great tool to use to practice tactics safely instead of using live ammunition and maybe injuring or killing someone. I'm an E2 in the US army and I love using airsoft as an practicing tool.
It's sad that this guy has 10x better gear than i do...and I'm actually in the Army
yup....
no shit i actually thought this guy was from a sof ranger unit and got a bonner...
then i looked up green mountain rangers and shit my pants.
fml
remember all your gear was made by the lowest bidder
Yea dude. Plus the fact that half the time actual dudes in the field can't get their hands on the stuff because the airsoft market has most of the good stuff sold out. Who do you know that can skip out of the shop and sit on the computer and order stuff as soon as it gets in with their parents credit card
Iam sure the army still spent more on the issued gear tho
Most of these guys were ex military anyway, I believe USMC and I presume most of their gear carry’s over from that, and they also do real steel stuff so it’s not only for ‘airsoft’
Crazy how much gear has changed in the last 8 years.
Not all that much really just a more minimalist trend for PCs going on
I watched this 7 years ago. That time, I thought these guys were on the weird side for getting too involved with airsoft using real-steel gear. However, damn I've got to admit, we are now in a time where Force-on-Force training is very beneficial for training purposes using airsoft and other alternatives.
That Left M4 mag in a vest is killing a perfectionist in me xD

hi.. you asked at the start of the video "whats going on everybody?" umm not much, hust chillin watching youtube. thanks for asking.
thanks mountain rangers, your level of enthusiasm for this sport is enough to keep players on thier feet, good review, i dont have the loadout you guys have but if i have the money id invest as well, for the love of the game ooyah, nevermind the bullocks
I like to wear the grenades on my helmet
Did i just read your text right
Well I put claymores on my helmet
i can tell
My grenades are kept in my underwear.
I like to mount my RPG-29 on the side of my FAST Helmet
Amazing.
I can only imagine the weight and cost of all that gear.
Just...amazing.
+Detman101 Not that heavy, but also not that cheap. Probably 3000-4000 counting their NVGs
Seems like a well thought out rig. Having never served, it's interesting to see how people gear up even for air soft.
Where do you store the cocaine?
In the PEQ box.
"High Ready!"
I can't say how much I've spend, I stopped keeping track. My wife could probably tell you though.
I thought at first this wasn't airsoft :P
But it is so well thought out that I don't care! Great vid ;)
I don't get why everyone gives the guy shit. Yes its airsoft, but because its all real gear, replace airsoft mags with pmags and use an AR and now all of a sudden its a completely legitimate load out. He has fun I'm sure and it gives him an opportunity to train with gear in scenarios beyond sitting in a computer chair eating doritos. I don't have any interest in airsoft personally and there seems to be plenty of herp derp, but that doesn't apply here.
Fuck You! I love doritos.
I would never use that shitty of a kit. 1st the NODs he has suck. They don’t focus at all and they fuck your vision up. The plate carrier while it being a swimmers cut is too short and will not protect lower abdomen. He only has three mags which is 90 rounds, too few. Standard loadout is 210 rounds which is 7 mags. Therefore not a practical kit for being a legit loadout
TheSaltyGrunt he has 8 mags on him..
Where is your sharpie? I didn't see a sharpie in your admin pouch!
+Clark Kent You're not a real soldier unless you have a sharpie.
+Clark Kent fuck a sharpie. sharpies are for amateurs.
You gonna starve without a spoon
HAHA airsoft. I thought something was off. Good job with the vid and presentation.
"HAHA airsoft". Train (airsoft) as you intend to fight. You will fight as you trained ... or didn't.
I don't get why people are complaining about how much they spend they play at many events and I don't think anyone would want some cheap piece of garbage that would only last 1-2 games than having something that is reliable and would last for a long time
Ya I agree it's like it's not your money so why do you care
People who like fishing spend 100sand 1000s of dollars on rods, bait, chairs, tools, and gear to make there hunting more fun. But sit on a computer and critic these people for wanting to have a hobby and COMPANY of their and their own way of life. Piss off would you and just let him do what he wants no matter how dumb you think it is.
Pedro Well said
It seems that chest webbing/rig is the popular choice these days, but very few people pay much attention to the old school AUS/NZ style waistbelt webbing. It offers much better mobility from different fire positions and actually has a much better carrying capacity. Only difference is that it's difficult to set up but it's much easier to handle once it has been assembled.
I still kick myself for not loading up on the HPFUs back in the day. Most ppl I see in the comments are too young to remember what we did to improve kit and build loadouts back then.

this is so funny, this is the first time i have watched these guys and i basically have the same setup as them! i guess great minds think a like
Are u still alive in 2022 bro? 👁️👁️
(*sees he has actual night vision*) Spent all of your allowance this month huh?
+ectional If I needed night vision they would have issued me a pair.
I lost it at "Very unique uniform"
This is incredibly funny. Good thing you’ve got those IR strobes so your AS can id you on those airsoft battlefields
I've seen some of your unit's vids. You guys are great using the gear your recommending and working as a team. In fact from my perspective a lot of teams didn't want to compete at against you. Brit then US forces for a time trained with paintball. Now its symunitions. I'm sure airsoft is cheaper and hurts a little less. It's surprising how little kit you have for the urban war games. Never apologize for being the best. That you are willing to help others to a point is commendable. I make my own tactical gear. My company was KLS Tactical. I was also an armed security officer, and a Sgt in the USAF. You guys rock! Too many young men have become " femininized." Play hard. Life changes. Can't always do what you want to do.
So instead of "feminized" they are gay. Was it really a win?
What I don't understand is why people will watch GMR videos if they dont like GMR. Just dont watch the videos.
GMR has a higher production quality than, for instance, Deathcore and can rival the video marketing sections of ASGI and Evike but GMR isn't trying to sell sub-standard gear and pretending it's a perfect gift from God. They have the money and experience to know what they're talking about and build a good and useful loadout. However, as players they now have the reputation to be confrontational, arrogant and cheaters. I would never want to be on the same field as them. As players, they're hated but as content creators, they make the effort to be a step up from the others.
Ok, calling your fucking toy a weapon you want to play with weapons go enlist and you'll get a REAL weapon.
Well, firstly, nearly half of the people in the Milsim community are former or active duty military. Its used as a treatment for PTSD. Along with that under federal law in the United States, airsoft guns are classified as firearms. Which is the reason they can't to be purchased by anyone younger then eighteen.
Samdo123 I'd like to clarify for you that they are considered to be unrestricted "replica" firearms, which means that they do not have many of the same restrictions as a real firearm. Much of the restrictions imposed upon them vary from state-to-state.
ThatGuy 1. They probably all have a lot of real weapons.
2. What do you do with a real weapon anyways? "Oh yeah I'm showing that water melon what's up!"
Or you can get airsoft gear, and actually get into some action and if available to some like actually long battles. I'm going to a over night game on the next weekend, It's going to be about 10 hours of pure fun with my friend and the other participants.
These guys (like many others) have just realised that airsofting is actually way more interesting than going to a gun range and shooting a bunch of targets. I mean if they wanted to do that all day every day they can, and they have all probably tried it.
1. They do shoot real guns 2. By definition it's a weapon and a gun 3. Shooting people with real guns isn't quite as safe
If you knew anything you would know paintball and airsoft was first adopted by the military as a means of training. Reaction to the same conditions and stress as a real firefight without implementation of real death.
Ahhh....another online exchange in the comments sections between UA-cam geniuses. I'm a former soldier and LEO and know quite a few people in both those professions that play airsoft as well. Most people are smart enough to be able to tell the difference between a game and the real thing---which is obviously quite different. Looking at this loadout, nothing really seemed to be missing or out of place (except for an IFAK/CAT) to me. Then again, as this is for a GAME, he doesn't need an IFAK/CAT. Kit looks expensive/high speed (wish I had some of this gear) and if this setup/loadout works for him and his group, who cares what the rest of us think about it?
Thank God some one other than me said it.
my first question is have you ever been active duty? second question is if you havent, you should. my statement to you is; I guess if it got real here in the states you would be well equipped but could you actually pull the trigger and take someone's life?
I don't play airsoft, but good looking gear. I'm sure that it would work in a real world scenario, proper training makes all the difference.
Wtf I spent so much time watching this thinking it was real then I realized its airsoft. Who tf spends all the money on pvs14s for airsoft??
lol same I thought they were actual miltary
i thought i was the only one who thought that
Lol
+emergency services videos apperently they are former military and swat; so you know they like to shoot 12 year old tacticooly.
Why not, they are putting food on the people that sells those stuff. They are contributing to economy
shit, my gun alone right now is over $500. People can say "holy shit, you spent that much on an airsoft gun" well guess what, I don't drink and party so all that money they blow on alcohol I'm using for airsoft which is a much healthier hobby than drinking my liver to death. Its fun and is better than working just your fingers on a controller, I play some video games too but I'm just saying. people have different ways of looking at the same hobby. People also spend more money on the same hobby, just depends how into you are and how much you are willing to spend and then also you get into Milsim events vs open play and stuff.
And while you don't party, drink, or be social, we're out making friends and memories that we won't be ashamed of talking about for years to come while you can't talk about your hobby without everyone laughing in your face.
+Juan Vega nah man. I got plenty of memories in airsoft and outside of it. Talk about the airsoft memories with my airsoft buddies and talk about other shit with others. I love saving my liver and not getting arrested for doing stupid shit while I'm out getting intoxicated...
You act like drinking every other weekend or so is going to "destroy" your liver. The only way that would happen is if you're constantly drinking every day and then you're just an alcoholic. And I've been to parties with over 250+ people and I've never been arrested when they get busted. Never had to run from them either. As long as you're respectful, they'll let you go. To much paperwork for a bunch of people just having some fun.
+Juan Vega depends how you drink and where you drink. It hurts your liver no matter what especially getting drunk. it makes it work twice as hard to filter the alcohol. I've drank and been drunk before. you act like you know so so much about airsoft. why you looking at videos of it when it's such a joke since you know people laugh in my face when I tell em my airsoft stories... you are on here. don't let your friends find out you were watching airsoft videos man. my friends are cool with it. let em laugh cause they ain't real friends then.
I never once said I knew anything about airsoft but ok. And by drinking, I mean going out with friends and partying, not getting drunk off of the communion wine like I'm sure you have. And I was actually looking up videos on how different people have their REAL chest rigs set up and this video didn't say it was airsoft until I saw him pull out those mags. I own real rifles and put together a real chest rig and a real plate carrier. Now that's fun. Good luck when someone comes kicking in your door and all you can do is shoot BBs at him. Or when civil chaos occurs. I'm sure you'll be right on top of the food chain with your $500 toy lol.
Difference betwen AIRsofter and CHAIRsofter is that CHAIRsofter always hate any other players. Good job GMR, keep it up.
Thank you for your service I wouldn't be here without you
+karatekid37 Brownbelt I don't know if he served or not, but this is a airsoft video not a real military video. However him being military or not thank your for thanking our military.
actually...it's really the only sport that gives you the rush of being a soldier without actually risking your life. That's why we do it.
8:21 "so i can can get in my fighting stance"
so gmrs can get into fights with people on the field and get thrown out of more ops
haha so true
Figure of speech. It's just to show how versatile the loadout is.. GMR is respectable..
baberaider18 That made me laugh.
A fighting stance is something you learn in the military, and in my experience, in the Marine Corps. It's the stance that best supports combat marksmanship.
these aren't veterans, maybe dishonorable discharge, if they can't even obey orders of game staff at ops and get banned they would never make it through training
If you use airsoft as a training tool for your actual tactical system you're smart
No you aren't.
+John Doe the military used it for a while, and law enforcement does. Obviously it has some benefits. Key board warrior.
i know people in Columbia who served in sf who used paintball as a training tool.
+John Doe actually I know a few swat team members who are law enforcement who said they use airsoft as training but there guns shoot at like 600 fps
Have you served? :)
Argumentum ad hominem
This is why I don't think I could ever join a team, I cant deal with that type of uniformity. I like to be my own player, it doesn't mean I cant work with other people. For example, I enjoy running a leg rig because that's where my hands naturally are, but this team only used hip rigs.
The only "uniformed" things in my "team" (more like a couple of dudes who play together very often) is the camo. About the equipment is everyone by himself, although we try to have things organized in the same way and +/- in the same spots
You guys should do a video detailing you're weapon setups.
This inspires me to make my own custom grenade pouches off of your idea, thank you!

Ikr
personally i go with my "in country look"
Shit, I thought it was military lol. That's cool tho. Why are people getting butt tickled over it?
People are talking too much crap about this video. Every piece of gear in airsoft has a purpose. So it's up to the user to determine if it is worth the extra weight. Plus Airsoft is not a "game", it's a SPORT.
GrapeJuice, thats your opinion. American Football isnt a sport just because its not in the olympics? Car racing? Rugby? Motorcross? Bowling? You sir need to look up the definition of a sport.
***** I do to and it is a sport and a hobby, depending on how you play.
If you go to tournaments that makes it a sport . if you play with just your friends its a hobby
***** dictionary.reference.com/browse/sport?s=t
Click that link and look at the definition of sport. Its both a hobby and a sport dude, get your facts right before you talk sh!t.
***** I love how he laughs at his own joke. Oh and btw, nobody asked what your parents do.
I run an Arma 2 gaming community and we have an Ex British Army Commando in the group. His opinion is that if he sees someone wearing army commando clothing then they're just showing support because they like that unit and he takes it as a compliment. As long as they don't turn up to like military events pretending to be actual military guys then it's fine. I wear Royal Marines stuff to airsoft. I don't think there's a problem with it as long as I make it clear that I just like them, I'm not one
I am support in team honey badger based from Tiverton, Devon, England and I think this is a really good loadout I no peeps who are ex paras and they happily do airsoft I'd love to have a load out like this but have nor the money or time to create it... Grate work guys keep it up... 🔫🔫🔫🔫
what? no side plates to protect you from those plastic bb's?
This WOULD be cool if you're using this gear for real applications with real firearms, etc and the gear just carried over to airsoft with a "train like you fight" mentality, but if all this is solely used for airsoft... it's pretty dumb and real "geardo". NVGs and coms are awesome to have for real application, but utilizing this for airsoft only is impractical and most of it is just for looking "cool".
Scrolling through the comments after 4 years is interesting,never thought I would find you here.If you look at there new videos they do have a "train as you fight" mentality they use the same kit for real steal and force on force, UTM and Airsoft.
Lucas Botkin from T-Rex Arms said it best:
“America’s a free country, and I can do whatever I want with my money.”
Actually if you played airsoft you would know, nvgs are amazing at milsim ops and night games the carrier is to carry your magazines wow who would have known dude your a dumbass it has use you fucking idiot
I showed my dad this and he was special forces he looked at this and said "Why the fuck does he not have a spot in the forces.."
No fucking way I believe that. Tactical airsoft is geeeyyy
🧢 I call bullshit
Where You guys have IFAKs? In our team, every member has to have an EFAK constantly, apart from Corpsman.
The MBSS Modular Assault Pack made by Pantac will fit on any PALs wbbing on plate carriers. It also has straps to carry if you don't want to put it on your carrier and can be tucked into the pack to use on your carrier.
FIGHTING STANCE?! IN AIRSOFT?! Hahaha please don't tell me you are serious. Hahaha OMG that's good, that's good.
You know for a fact, if this guy was actually ever enlisted, was a POG. lol You can tell he's never been in combat or even deployed.
ReconB4V What makes you say that

John Doe guess
HOOAH, 12B Sapper. Join the military and get this shit for free. Spend 1 year training and do it right. There wasn't any airsoft in Fallujah.
You buy the tubes, there's decent quality ones for 500-600, you get a housing and the optics, take it to a specialty shop and get it professionally purged and filled with nitrogen to extend tube life and ta-daa. You just got yourself a PVS 14 for 1100-1200 bucks instead of having to drop 3k.
It is the 6094a in CB and it looks different simply due to the PIG cummerbund (making it slimmer and the pouch setup, not to mention the different display the PC is sitting on.)
They wish they were real military
Have you even served
+Nicks Lawn care and more
Most of them were.
The guy already served -_-
They're all vets...
+Nicks Lawn care and more hows that lawn?
$600 just for a vest? No thanks, I like airsoft but I don't like it that much. I would rather buy a polar star for that much.
or you know... lbt carriers are legit. but not for throwing plastic bb's at each other. a cheapo vest off ebay will do more for you than one of these will ( for airsoft, of course lbt and eagle beat everything ).
This isnt airsoft gear its militia gear lol
...wat?
I am old school Vietnam era, and this vid is GREAT!!! I thought my outfit was smoothed out, I will be changing a few things. you guys are great...right on Vaz(Vazquez)
I Got a black ops M4 Viper and use it at very small scrimmages It has lasted me years and years I actually would recommend it for beginners and airsofters that are actually good at keeping guns maintained. My other teamates just use MP5's and Shotguns.
Awwww everyone thinking there actually in the military get a grip of your lives and actually sign up and then you can call them weapons and not these little toys
thats plenty
Most of them are ex military
OK it just seemed like all they have done is this and I'm sorry if I have offended anyone if they been military
Jake Weller You're sorry "(Only if you've been in military)" xD
+jamie perkins not the ones who are 16
this is bordering on disrespectful to the military. Imagine this: little tommy goes for his 12th birthday to his local airsoft field with his friends the GMR where there as well little tommy is now is now in rehabilitation and suffers from severe nightmares.
How is it disrespectful? Lots of military vest play airsofting. I'm sure some of these guys are vets. Also I've asked tons of vets how they feel about people impersonating military style loadouts in Airsoft. Most of them said they could care less. If that's what there into then that's what there into. Even some saying they wish they would have gotten into it. As long as they don't wear any military unit patch its fine.
Soul of A Spartan Because air-soft is for want to be tards.
Michael Ring were you ever in the Military? Probably not. So you don't have the right to talk on behalf of them. Also so what. If that's what there into then let me be. Shit I would love to get into this just piss people like you off.
Um... yes I was. 17yrs in the Australian Army. Run at me
Michael Ring haha ok sure.
Instead of spending all of this money on airsoft gear, why don't you go out and buy a REAL AR or something?
Not my point
HellHoleFilming some are not avalabile to civilians and maybe they don`t want to really kill some1
HellHoleFilming dude... they buy it to imitate a "war" for a week end
LOL
I offended you? What does it feel like to be so weak that mere words hurt you?
They where ahead of there time
Great video. I see so many negative comments. Training is key. Even if that training is just to train it is still beneficial to the mind and body. It's what we call living insurance rather than death (life) insurance.
if they were actual rangers I think they'd have a bigger assault vest type and more gear nice look alike tho lol.
No shit.
+USMC_0311_WARDOG Since its just a game I'm pretty sure they are fitting the gear to the mission. If you really are a grunt, then you know how difficult it is to be fast in all that gear. none of their games are extended play, requiring that they pack for an extended mission. Your comment is invalid.
+Sid Airbrush 70 pound pack vest vest gear n all mags flashlight map radio FAQ what ever wat not. I mean yes u need to be fast that's the point of training
Yes. But again... This is a game. When I went on extended ops I humped close to100 lbs of gear, water, food, mission critical equipment etc. Your gear fits your mission. If your mission is bb wars, then bare bones is sop.
+Sid Airbrush war isn't a game if you wanna be a look alike u go all out don't half ass anything
"OverKIll" Yep..... Back in the early 90's we just wore overalls and knee/elbow pads, combat boots and fingerless gloves. And skiing goggles!! Now days its simulations with 'plastic' crap strapped to your body, My team used 'drop-leg' holsters as it was faster to withdrawal pistol! Things have changed from back in the days of gaming!!
Greetings from the New York Recon Marines. I've been away for awhile and as has come to my attention that lion claws has banned you from their events until further notice. Well I'm putting together a new facility .. If you're interested in learning about it send me a message. They are not the only ones that have a field ...... Together we can hold military style events so don't worry about it brother
if you do not have a ton of money for the highest grade gear you can often closely mimic the load out for the same effect with a lower price.i do not have the best gear yet it gets the job done
Actually, these people are not doing this as a hobby per say. They actually tour nation-wide and internationally as a Airsoft team. Their equipment isn't cheap either. The airsoft rifle they use cost around $1400 per unit. Check out their website. They have a history of their group and the things they do.
I would not be surprised if they are close to 10k with all their stuff...NODS alone are 2-6k depending on Gen. The plate carrier as configured is probably closed to 1500.
There's also the disadvantage of people shooting back.
Let's think this through. In airsoft the chance of dying is near 0, it's a hobby and not a job, the team gets to wear whatever they want and not have to follow any regs.
And it gets better - since he's in the US, he can also shoot real weapons.
I bought the LBT 6094A, and you'll still need to adjust it, because my slim figure didn't fit it either.
He just went through the reasons for all the gear, it isn't to look cool it is what works best and what can keep them at high combat effectiantsy
At least some of us get off the couch and do something with our lives. And not everyone who plays airsoft just plays airsoft. Many people do real steel too and this info is valuable to those of us who do live fire events with real steel and are looking to improve our own kits.
Digital camo and all metal Sig. We used to be men. We need to go back
Marines still use both
Every person has a different level of playing airsoft. These guys like to play it as real and close to its big brother while some just see it as a break from their boring routines. MilSim is one way and if you know the history where this game came from you would understand that making it look for real is the way of the game. The important thing is to enjoy the game whether you're in your skivvies or wearing full gear...
Thank you for the feedback.
I hope you realize some of these men were in the military. If you played like them, you'd know why they run all this gear, its a great sport.
After 10 years of war, the Military Industrial Complex Mecca (us, the US) was more than happy to find the Modern Military Re-enactor aka the Mil-Sim Airsoft Player as another expansive Buyers Market
Great gear video. Thank you for the explanations of why and why not, I can tell its from trial and error. Very helpful. Are all of these things available to civilians?
Your belt is your first line, not your second. Your second line is your vest. Oh and your BLACKHAWK! uniforms are just Desert Digital, and certainly not AOR1.
no airsoft is not for soldiers, its only inspired by the army's methods of trainning any soldier
it trains you to be disciplined, to improvise, to be fast and it requires you to be in good shape, also alternately it allows you to do wargames instead of actually going to war and killing people while risking being killed
airsoft is an extreme sport if professional or just a fun exercise if you play for pure fun :)
If you guys ever did want a leg holster, you should try the Blackhawk SERPA holster. It's very comfortable, and doesn't move an inch when you run.
One of the main ideas behind airsoft that alot of groups provide is the military feel without the danger, so yes, it is
If I'm not mistaken 30%-50% of GMR has served, or at least a lot of the older members did. I heard Ronin is an instructor for SIG or something.
Not hearing the velcro rip felt so good to my ears...
What kind of coms-system is that ?
The only thing I understood was the Surefire buds but what else ?
Love the set up! :)
Yes. I have gotten my airsoft rifle for $130 and it has lasted me two years as of next week. But when I played paintball I had to get a $300 dollar gun.
Airsoft and Paintball are AWESOME but they are different in many many ways
Also, those old, rusty buckets with some of that 60's lead-based paints still encrusted inside of it and flaking off. Trust me it will increase your chances of not seeing anything and possibly getting cancer. Its a really good helmet you can even duct tape a disposable camera to the side to record gameplay. If duct tape is too expensive i suggest scotch tape or elmers school glue.
cheers guys great video!
You guys are the best team i have ever seen, but who is your sponsor?
awesome loadout and great vids
Pretty much, I was basically saying that airsoft is great for those who don't want to join the military for the real thing. In fact most people IN the military loathe the idea of killing someone, whether they're a basic grunt or highly trained operator like MARSOC or Rangers.
he may be in the military, airsoft is a great tool to use to practice tactics safely instead of using live ammunition and maybe injuring or killing someone. I'm an E2 in the US army and I love using airsoft as an practicing tool.
