A thing I would note for new players when it comes to kit. Your footwear, sleeping bag, and wet/cold weather gear is more important than how cool your kit looks. Do not bring a 40F sleeping bag to a 25F event. You will quit the event and we’ll laugh at you. There were a lot of people at Salsk with tacticool gear that quit before they even saw an enemy player.
Have a video going over my packing list before Volgograd, which was colder than Salsk. This video was specifically for kit that fit the spirit of the game.
We left because our poor excuse for a platoon leader lead us the wrong direction for miles then though it was a good idea to set up camp in a thorn bush area. I got wet on on the hike in. The guy in the side by side gave me a ride for a bit. Said I could leave my ruck on side by side till we got to camp. 4 hours latter I am wet and cold. When I ask my cadre to help locate my pack. He thought is was more important to yell at me and insult me that I did not have my pack rather that make shure I was safe by being dry and warm. What really topped things off was my gun getting stolen. I came as militia and it was a real bummer being comanded to do nato type movements and patrolling. Basically this event was an excuse to dress up fancy but everything must be ran nato style. Laugh all you want but I did not pay to hike over 6 miles and camp in thorns and be verbally abused by a fuck stick that would never talk to anyone like that out side his bitchass group of buddies.
@@BlueJeanOperator hi can you recommend a chest admin pouch for a plate carrier in atacs FG (for cellphone , maps and other small personal crap when i am playing).
pro tip for the future type 56 chicom user: instead of using regular ak mags in it, replace them with 40 rounds RPK mags, they'll be long enough to be picked out easily without risking them falling out, also you go from 3X30 rounds to 3X40 so you basicaly gain one more 30 round mags worth of capacity for virtualy the same weight and space.
for a beginer gun i think it's safe to recomand the CYMA AKs they won't be as tough looking as an LCT, but they're performances out of the box are very good for how they costs especialy if you're playing militia and want a super minimalistic set up on it. for my last milsim event i took a very basic cyma AKMS for 200$ and despite a bit lacking in the range departement (i downgraded the power since i knew i would do a lot of CQB) it was very constent and reliable.
i have several AKs, the Cyma aks74u i own is best bang for buck. my E&L and the LCT are better, but if you're tight on budget, a cyma won't disappoint.
CYMA are not tough enough for milsim events, my first milsim event i used a AK-74M CYMA and I accidentally bushed it on a tree and the top where it hides the battery completely broke ??? I mean I fixed it with duck tape but still not fun. I bought a E an L AK-12 and they are amazing!!

If your not into beltkits like smersh or more modern gear like (TT/ANA MK2, MBC, Wartech, AA, Gearcraft, SRVV etc.) I would recommend chestrigs like Eger/Jeger (SSO, a bit harder to get nowadays, was cheap as dirt), Pionier (Splav) or a vest like Tarzan (M23/M32/M32 Mod2 - but the mod.2 is hard to get). In my opinion chestrigs are better with bigger rucksacks if your on the move for 2-3 days
Good quality MOSFETs and shit like that are what's going to keep your gun firing, especially in the high ROF, high wear conditions of these events, and without messing up the gun long term. i.e contacts being burnt out etc. The reality is not so much 'dont bring a sooped up gun' it's making sure that the gun actually works flawlessly under the conditions it will be exposed to.
personally ive contrusted basicly a smaller smersh rig for my self frpm a warbelt and a harness for week end skirmishes. 3x 2 mag puouches 2x generals purpose puches (one holds a deco nade and other one has a ai-2 with bandages etc). one medium size pouch to hold my eye pro and mask/gloves and note pad. a medical pouch actually containing some meds for use and a pistol holster or what ever i pouch i need
My two cents on russian 'recce' kit... The newer ratnik LBE's (6sh112 and 116/117) are also a good option for a more modern look, kind of an evolved 90's LBE . You can still put your pouches at waist level like on the Smersh but also get molle coverage on the chest and back (only on the 116/117's). It might not be as comfortable when rucking compared to the Smersh, but haven't tried it with anything else than an assault pack.
There's a little bit of nuance to the whole rusfor Recce loadouts. Since a big chunk of the Rusfor players tend to do impressions based on actual units, the gear tends to follow what those organizations sourced personally or agency wide. For the Ministry of Defense units like Army, Naval Infantry etc, the issue 6sh11x family is a good choice since it's in their pipeline. But also bear in mind that Smershes and other gear were also used by them as well. If doing a GRU recce loadout, you see stuff like TT mk2, as well as modern plate carriers and micro rigs domestically made in Russia, this also goes for any Gru subordinate units. Now if we talk about the Alphabet agencies, then the MK2 from its various makers and incarnations really come into its own, but depending on model it can be anachronistic as they went thru stages of evolution (similar to how the US SF changed over the course of the 90s into GWOT). These units also extensively use Smershes and other harness gear. But the 6shxxx gear wasn't part of their supply chain with some major exceptions in the border troops and other random units here and there with one offs that guys either brought with themselves or inherited thru stuff being surplused out and moved to other agencies. For folks getting into Rusfor kit and joining up with teams or chapters of teams this info matters more. For militia guys, I do agree with the chicom but I'd give bonus points to guys rolling Vydras, V95s, lifchiks, and handmade rigs made from cut up backpacks and canvas 4 cell ak pouches grafted to each other a'la afghan/chechnya era. Even older 6sh92 series gear are great militia rigs due to their commonality and being readily found in actual militia use
@@severerisk1581 Yeah, I always found all the RUSFOR gear world interesting, and usually guys take much more well-thought approaches when making a loadout (NATO/west loadouts here in Spain are usually just a mix of the cheapest repros the nearest airsoft store had in stock). At the same time it kind of puts a bigger entry barrier into the RUSFOR world, as there can be a lack of information on how to build a legit kit that looks the part but won't break the bank or require a lot of digging around for doing a correct impression of a particular unit. Might need to do a video about it :D P.S. Totally agree that homemade or whatever-pouches-you-had-around-sewn-together style rigs have some really cool factor.
Yeha the rusfor crowd actually has more in common with the reenactment community than with general nato/airsoft. There are strong efforts to portray units and individual kits accurately down to the smallest detail. Some teams have authenticity standards to adhere to. I do get that in some places ots hard to get gear like this. Some parts of the EU like Spain don't have very many people who attempt to build detailed kits. But I do know a couple collectors and kit nerds in Spain who did go through alot of effort to build their kits. It took them a while to complete their projects but the results were worth it. Main thing is to just be patient and constantly hunt for folks selling off stuff here and there. As for accuracy, it's generally a common practice to troll military history forums, reddit, and older online communities to get reference pics and get a starting point. If you first know what you are looking for and at then it's easy to hone in and proceed.
i am quite agreed with "computeur" things. i run an AK12 second gen, without the PE system: i wanted to make a warfet plug and play on it for a better reactivity (on an airsoft already very fine) at the end of the day, the replica does not shoot anymore... i put down the warfet, shot like a dream. I had made mounted a gate titan on an ak74, it does not wanted to pass semi to auto: that make it all semi one time to another, no matter how i set up it. OTHER things with optical triger; when it comes to humidity or the grease on the gearbox, liquid can blind the stuff make it impossible to "see" your trigger pull... so now i am very suspicious with mosfet; In general, a good motor and t dean do the things, and i am not a semi spamer as well
I have a custom Chicom type 81 rig w/4 cells. Removed the grenade pouches and replaced them with MOLLE rows. Cut the straps and made them fully adjustable via ITW Nexus clips. Got it a few years ago for $7 shipped home. Breaks my hear to see how expensive they´ve gotten.
Unfortunately I do not follow your suggestions for AEGs or Airsoft Guns. But I want to leave a little comment for your suggestion for airsoft guns. Firstly always go with those "computers", that you did not recommend, so called EFCS /MosFET. There are several good systems out there for example Aster Titan/Gate, Perun Hybrid, Airsoft Systems ASCU. The reason why you want them is that you have first a Mosfet. This thing controls that every shot is indeed applied with the trigger pull. If you go with the old switch assemblies, you will get your gun very fast to a gear jam, especially in semi. The reason for it, is that you either pulled the trigger to fast, or your battery pack has too low voltage. If you are outside, temperatures will influence the power your battery pack can output, which impacts highly the chances for gear jams. The other reason you want an EFCS is that you want it to check your battery voltage or loading capacity. They automatically shut down if your battery is on low voltage. Thereby stopping gear jams at all and you will not damage your battery pack. Everybody who has seen a LiPo Battery explode or take fire, knows that this is important too. The next thing everybody wants to think about is a non standard nozzle. Take the same length as you have in the gun. Just use one with double o ring. Manufacturars like EPES and Begadi provide these one, I can not speak for good US suppliers. A stable FPS output will automatically result in a stable accuracy as the fps fluctuation impacts the hop directly. In standard E&L has a 6.04 mm barrel and this one is perfect. If you get a tight bore barrel with 6.01mm you will risk a chance of raising the rub of bbs in your barrels. This can impact the accuracy and might one day get to a barrel jam, full with bbs. You also do not want to use the old 6.08mmm barrels, they are indeed too wide. In general I have heard talks about that E&L is also manufacturing real firearms near to their airsoft manufacturing, especially AKs, these are chinese ones. So in general if anybodys looks for fitting real parts on their gun, they might want to take E&L as they have the least fitting to make. This might also apply to LCTs. In general if anyone gets a feel of what brand stands for what manufacturing type (cheap gun, price performance gun, gucci gun), it might get easier to get around in airsoft. For example LCT, E&L might be no brainers, but in general I do not know any brand that will not take a fixing hand one day, the price of the guns is just too low and they are made for playing not high daily use or ultimate reliability like military weapons. Cyma might also be a look. Check if the current "blue" gearbox is inserted in it. These internals are pretty good for the price. Do not take a look at manufacturars like A&K they might have some nice unique guns, but the also have not updated their internals since the mid 2000s. If somebody wants markings here in europe the company is named Vega Force Company or VFC, I think for US it is cybergun or EMG. The problem with these guys is, they build really nice body parts. But the internals are near shit. For plastic body kits always take a look if fibre is part of the body. You do not want ABS. Unfortunately many P90 have ABS, and some body are made well and think, but these are exceptions. Very important note, everything I said applies to AEGs. GBB might for some companies be very different, like VFC with their Glock and Sig Air Series, they are pretty good. Always remember to use the correct gas type for each temperature. If you allow I can recommend one airsoft youtubers, he is german but has subtitles and has indeed a very good knowledge on what might be reliable and what not.
My first chest rig was type 56 AK chest rig upgraded later to a SMERSH, and I did what you did to yours Velcro, and buckles, my go to plate carrier for shtf is my ana tactical m2 plate carrier and my back up is my modern ratnik plate carrier with my level III+ plates in it, my entire kit is ana tactical, bars gorka, and bytek, ratnik stuff, srvv, vkbo.
What's your opinion on running a NODs as militia BUT not using a "high-speed" helmet? Planning on going to a MSW event for the first time this year and wanted to run militia. I wanna run my tube for obvious reason but also want to fit the militia vibe. Was planning on using either a USGI skull crusher or older gen helmet. Should I just go with RUSFOR to fit the "lore" or do ppl run NODS on militia? Thanks and keep up the good work!
Milita with nods is fine. The skull crusher works but isn’t super fun to run for long periods (in my opinion). An ACH with skrim all over it is probably your best bet. Either way yes nods are fine as Milita just don’t wear them during the day.
That’s what I do. I have a skull crusher and a jury rigged pasgt that has a Mohawk and a bunch of Velcro on it. Fits the theme a bit better than a high cut but is incredibly heavy.
I have both LCT and E&L AKs and the LCTs have the best external build while the E&L have better internals. One of my LCTs had a motor fail and needs repair, but the externals are rock solid. Never had any problems with the internals of my E&Ls.
LCT, while having great external quality, is pretty expensive for the poor internals you get out of the box. E&L and VFC-spec CYMA AKs would be better if you intend on keeping them stock
E&L and Arcturus is under same company which will start doing russian style red dots, but if someone want classic ak they should buy E&L if someone want more modern ak its Arcturus.
I can tell you from experience, wearing a 20lb (fully loaded) carrier in the woods is miserable. I live near Salsk. It’s an unforgiving environment once you get out in the sticks.
I’ve been face shot by a UTM while in Ranger Batt, not fun . Still have the scar on my face lol. It would be sick to run an event the size of MSW with UTMs. But they are just not prevalent enough to organize an event on the scale of what we can do with Airsoft. Plus in reality, a good Airsoft gun will shoot further than UTMs, and are generally more accurate. The only thing UTMs have going for them is that the firearm mechanics are more realistic (for obvious reasons). They are best used in MOUT facilities.
@@BlueJeanOperator Yeah, I was wondering if that was a concern and I myself had that concern being hit in the face with them. Didnt know some airsoft guns shoot farther. Thank you for the reply my man, great content as you already know.
Cybergun M4A1 Carbine is really good, I have it, it’s shaky and that’s a little annoying but that’s what literally any Airsoft M4 is like but besides that it’s full metal and only like $250 or $150 I kinda forgot but it shoots straight and it’s very reliable and really powerful and works every time, I had some work done to it and I still need to zero it in perfectly but it’s been winter so it’s a little hard to do and I also live in the city and don’t wanna get arrested for having a 1 on 1 exact replica, and that’s cool but not super good because mine literally looks exactly like an actual M4 and its hard for my uncle that was in the military and had an M4 for years to tell the difference, one of the only ways to find it out is to rack the slide but even then it could be confusing for a minute, but yea I highly recommend it, (if you can find it anywhere💀) yea and one thing I forgot to tell is it’s pretty rare and almost impossible to find the full metal one that I have, so sorry but I’m sure you’ll find a gun that you love too🤙
Love my LCTs too but I seem to have problems with a lot of them out of the box too. My Arcturus AK12 Perun seems like it'll be a much better workhorse AK, but i haven't had a chance to play a major op with it yet
I'm looking at e&l right now and it is pretty neat. Why are mosfets not working? Is it moisture shorting them? I've been wanting to get into this it looks fun!
I've been watching you, jet and others having issues with your LCTs... Which sucks for me because I really wanted an LCT RPK 74MN but I'm a little paranoid now to pay over $450 for something that's gonna break down on me. Aside from that great video man.
Рік тому
Both brands are excellent choices for externals. Internally OOTB, E&L is slightly above and I like their gearbox better. They also have more parts you can keep. Once you modify the internals, both will do great, with LCT requiring more parts changed.
if you wana go rusfor and really comfy, get an sso partizan suit ss-leto camo for autumm and atacs fg for spring and summer never too hot, never too cold, and your ball will move freelly you welcome
One of the most quintessential and definitive parts in rusfor kit is portyanki (sry but if you don't use those in your loadout = totally fake and ghei). Also ruskies for recon prefer to take bare-minimum AK's because of the weight (at least that's what some of the rw ruskis told me). About load bearing stuff I can say that korpus vizhivania (srvv) is quiet popular company for such products among their sf community (also one of the oldest).
I carried bandoliers one year while running blanks. If you choose to do so I encourage you to sew the top of the bandolier to your pack’s armstrap. Mine kept fumbling and sliding around, and the added weight not being supported by the padded part of my shoulder got annoying after a while.
I've always wanted to go to a milsim west event but have 0 friends interested in doing this, do you need a group or can I fall in with a group that I get assigned to?
Would a ciguera battle belt in conjunction with a Chicom chest rig be appropriate for Milita? Thanks for the video! Looking forward to going to one to of these someday
Traditional MK2 is better. It can run AR mags no problem. With the m4 variant, it’s like your limiting yourself to only AR mags, for seemingly no reason.
@@BlueJeanOperator also bro is there like strict rusfor uniform rules like can i wear an older chechen era kit or does it have to be super modern i already have chechen and afghan era russian stuff i was just wondering
What's the compatibility between E&L and LCT? I've heard E&L will take LCT mags but not vice versa, is that the case? Are there any other parts compatibility I should be aware of? Does E&L take real steel after market accessories like rails? I want to buy one of their AKs but I have so many questions...
They should both take most real steel parts, E&L even more so I believe. I don’t own an E&L but I’ve heard they’re picky with mags. Lct eats all the big name mags. lct , cyma etc..$
Me and the boys are going to our first MSW event this year. We only have AR pattern rifles and nods and such but signed up for militia as most of our kit is OD green. How screwed are we
Please do not roll up as milita with m4s. If it’s an old school Vietnam era m16a1 I don’t see and issue but if you have an m4 with attachments and I come across you I’ll shoot 1st and ask questions later. Just get a cyma Ak for the event
Get a cheap used ak, or Double Eagle ak m900 is relatively cheap on Evike too Also think about one of those cheap hooded oversuits in EMR or SS leto camo, doesn't have to be some fancy pants high end one, I got me an Ebay special to save money lol Tbf I rolled up in crye chest rig and a mk18 clone with zero attachments once but I was also dressed like a EMR hobo lol so YMMV. I didn't even have a sling and my cheap iron sight fell off when I ran into a wall lmao.
ARs are fine for your first event. Take off all the attachments. Please don’t show up with green plate carriers, helmets, warblers, etc. Except for at night w nods, then wear whatever helmet u need.

If your not into beltkits like smersh or more modern gear like (TT/ANA MK2, MBC, Wartech, AA, Gearcraft, SRVV etc.) I would recommend chestrigs like Eger/Jeger (SSO, a bit harder to get nowadays, was cheap as dirt), Pionier (Splav) or a vest like Tarzan (M23/M32/M32 Mod2 - but the mod.2 is hard to get). In my opinion chestrigs are better with bigger rucksacks if your on the move for 2-3 days
Good quality MOSFETs and shit like that are what's going to keep your gun firing, especially in the high ROF, high wear conditions of these events, and without messing up the gun long term. i.e contacts being burnt out etc.
The reality is not so much 'dont bring a sooped up gun' it's making sure that the gun actually works flawlessly under the conditions it will be exposed to.
Thankfully those e&ls are shipping with mosfets.
@@away8886 Unfortunately gate are pretty trash mosfets.
@@lordcaoliki2168 I’m speaking of the el essential line. Any reliable mosfets you could recommend ?
@@away8886 Perun hybrid and the Perun line, in general, are fantastic mosfets. Good reliability and programmability!
personally ive contrusted basicly a smaller smersh rig for my self frpm a warbelt and a harness for week end skirmishes. 3x 2 mag puouches 2x generals purpose puches (one holds a deco nade and other one has a ai-2 with bandages etc). one medium size pouch to hold my eye pro and mask/gloves and note pad. a medical pouch actually containing some meds for use and a pistol holster or what ever i pouch i need
+1 for smersh. I wore it in Donbass and it was the most comfortable loading harness.
My two cents on russian 'recce' kit...
The newer ratnik LBE's (6sh112 and 116/117) are also a good option for a more modern look, kind of an evolved 90's LBE .
You can still put your pouches at waist level like on the Smersh but also get molle coverage on the chest and back (only on the 116/117's).
It might not be as comfortable when rucking compared to the Smersh, but haven't tried it with anything else than an assault pack.
There's a little bit of nuance to the whole rusfor Recce loadouts. Since a big chunk of the Rusfor players tend to do impressions based on actual units, the gear tends to follow what those organizations sourced personally or agency wide. For the Ministry of Defense units like Army, Naval Infantry etc, the issue 6sh11x family is a good choice since it's in their pipeline. But also bear in mind that Smershes and other gear were also used by them as well. If doing a GRU recce loadout, you see stuff like TT mk2, as well as modern plate carriers and micro rigs domestically made in Russia, this also goes for any Gru subordinate units. Now if we talk about the Alphabet agencies, then the MK2 from its various makers and incarnations really come into its own, but depending on model it can be anachronistic as they went thru stages of evolution (similar to how the US SF changed over the course of the 90s into GWOT). These units also extensively use Smershes and other harness gear. But the 6shxxx gear wasn't part of their supply chain with some major exceptions in the border troops and other random units here and there with one offs that guys either brought with themselves or inherited thru stuff being surplused out and moved to other agencies. For folks getting into Rusfor kit and joining up with teams or chapters of teams this info matters more. For militia guys, I do agree with the chicom but I'd give bonus points to guys rolling Vydras, V95s, lifchiks, and handmade rigs made from cut up backpacks and canvas 4 cell ak pouches grafted to each other a'la afghan/chechnya era. Even older 6sh92 series gear are great militia rigs due to their commonality and being readily found in actual militia use
@@severerisk1581 Yeah, I always found all the RUSFOR gear world interesting, and usually guys take much more well-thought approaches when making a loadout (NATO/west loadouts here in Spain are usually just a mix of the cheapest repros the nearest airsoft store had in stock).
At the same time it kind of puts a bigger entry barrier into the RUSFOR world, as there can be a lack of information on how to build a legit kit that looks the part but won't break the bank or require a lot of digging around for doing a correct impression of a particular unit.
Might need to do a video about it :D
P.S. Totally agree that homemade or whatever-pouches-you-had-around-sewn-together style rigs have some really cool factor.
Yeha the rusfor crowd actually has more in common with the reenactment community than with general nato/airsoft. There are strong efforts to portray units and individual kits accurately down to the smallest detail. Some teams have authenticity standards to adhere to. I do get that in some places ots hard to get gear like this. Some parts of the EU like Spain don't have very many people who attempt to build detailed kits. But I do know a couple collectors and kit nerds in Spain who did go through alot of effort to build their kits. It took them a while to complete their projects but the results were worth it. Main thing is to just be patient and constantly hunt for folks selling off stuff here and there. As for accuracy, it's generally a common practice to troll military history forums, reddit, and older online communities to get reference pics and get a starting point. If you first know what you are looking for and at then it's easy to hone in and proceed.
i am quite agreed with "computeur" things. i run an AK12 second gen, without the PE system: i wanted to make a warfet plug and play on it for a better reactivity (on an airsoft already very fine) at the end of the day, the replica does not shoot anymore... i put down the warfet, shot like a dream. I had made mounted a gate titan on an ak74, it does not wanted to pass semi to auto: that make it all semi one time to another, no matter how i set up it. OTHER things with optical triger; when it comes to humidity or the grease on the gearbox, liquid can blind the stuff make it impossible to "see" your trigger pull... so now i am very suspicious with mosfet; In general, a good motor and t dean do the things, and i am not a semi spamer as well
I have a custom Chicom type 81 rig w/4 cells. Removed the grenade pouches and replaced them with MOLLE rows. Cut the straps and made them fully adjustable via ITW Nexus clips. Got it a few years ago for $7 shipped home. Breaks my hear to see how expensive they´ve gotten.
Unfortunately I do not follow your suggestions for AEGs or Airsoft Guns. But I want to leave a little comment for your suggestion for airsoft guns.
Firstly always go with those "computers", that you did not recommend, so called EFCS /MosFET. There are several good systems out there for example Aster Titan/Gate, Perun Hybrid, Airsoft Systems ASCU. The reason why you want them is that you have first a Mosfet. This thing controls that every shot is indeed applied with the trigger pull. If you go with the old switch assemblies, you will get your gun very fast to a gear jam, especially in semi. The reason for it, is that you either pulled the trigger to fast, or your battery pack has too low voltage. If you are outside, temperatures will influence the power your battery pack can output, which impacts highly the chances for gear jams. The other reason you want an EFCS is that you want it to check your battery voltage or loading capacity. They automatically shut down if your battery is on low voltage. Thereby stopping gear jams at all and you will not damage your battery pack. Everybody who has seen a LiPo Battery explode or take fire, knows that this is important too.
The next thing everybody wants to think about is a non standard nozzle. Take the same length as you have in the gun. Just use one with double o ring. Manufacturars like EPES and Begadi provide these one, I can not speak for good US suppliers. A stable FPS output will automatically result in a stable accuracy as the fps fluctuation impacts the hop directly.
In standard E&L has a 6.04 mm barrel and this one is perfect. If you get a tight bore barrel with 6.01mm you will risk a chance of raising the rub of bbs in your barrels. This can impact the accuracy and might one day get to a barrel jam, full with bbs. You also do not want to use the old 6.08mmm barrels, they are indeed too wide.
In general I have heard talks about that E&L is also manufacturing real firearms near to their airsoft manufacturing, especially AKs, these are chinese ones. So in general if anybodys looks for fitting real parts on their gun, they might want to take E&L as they have the least fitting to make. This might also apply to LCTs.
In general if anyone gets a feel of what brand stands for what manufacturing type (cheap gun, price performance gun, gucci gun), it might get easier to get around in airsoft. For example LCT, E&L might be no brainers, but in general I do not know any brand that will not take a fixing hand one day, the price of the guns is just too low and they are made for playing not high daily use or ultimate reliability like military weapons.
Cyma might also be a look. Check if the current "blue" gearbox is inserted in it. These internals are pretty good for the price.
Do not take a look at manufacturars like A&K they might have some nice unique guns, but the also have not updated their internals since the mid 2000s.
If somebody wants markings here in europe the company is named Vega Force Company or VFC, I think for US it is cybergun or EMG. The problem with these guys is, they build really nice body parts. But the internals are near shit.
For plastic body kits always take a look if fibre is part of the body. You do not want ABS. Unfortunately many P90 have ABS, and some body are made well and think, but these are exceptions.
Very important note, everything I said applies to AEGs. GBB might for some companies be very different, like VFC with their Glock and Sig Air Series, they are pretty good. Always remember to use the correct gas type for each temperature.
If you allow I can recommend one airsoft youtubers, he is german but has subtitles and has indeed a very good knowledge on what might be reliable and what not.
I’ve had my Titan Gate go out via rain/moisture on multiple occasions. But thanks for the input
My first chest rig was type 56 AK chest rig upgraded later to a SMERSH, and I did what you did to yours Velcro, and buckles, my go to plate carrier for shtf is my ana tactical m2 plate carrier and my back up is my modern ratnik plate carrier with my level III+ plates in it, my entire kit is ana tactical, bars gorka, and bytek, ratnik stuff, srvv, vkbo.
Nice pfp. Is the ANA stuff and are the bars gorkas any good? Whats your experience with them?
What's your opinion on running a NODs as militia BUT not using a "high-speed" helmet? Planning on going to a MSW event for the first time this year and wanted to run militia. I wanna run my tube for obvious reason but also want to fit the militia vibe. Was planning on using either a USGI skull crusher or older gen helmet. Should I just go with RUSFOR to fit the "lore" or do ppl run NODS on militia? Thanks and keep up the good work!
slap that bitch on a brown PASGT or something
Milita with nods is fine. The skull crusher works but isn’t super fun to run for long periods (in my opinion). An ACH with skrim all over it is probably your best bet. Either way yes nods are fine as Milita just don’t wear them during the day.
@@set7-o8w Appreciate it! Definitely plan on just running them at night
That’s what I do. I have a skull crusher and a jury rigged pasgt that has a Mohawk and a bunch of Velcro on it. Fits the theme a bit better than a high cut but is incredibly heavy.
Thank you for the kit guide, it’s really helpful for something’s.
Are you the Phoenix Tactical from Michigan?
@@python13578 no I’m a different thing
This is the type of video i take notes when o watch
I have both LCT and E&L AKs and the LCTs have the best external build while the E&L have better internals. One of my LCTs had a motor fail and needs repair, but the externals are rock solid. Never had any problems with the internals of my E&Ls.
Don’t forget big black plastic bag, it’s where actual rus solders usually end. It will make your outfit more authentic.
What sling do you prefer for an ak? Also how is the magazine compatibility with the E&L
It will take lct and cyma mags I’d recommend cyma mags as they are the most reliable lct mag are okay and e&l mags kinda suck
Hey BJO, always love your airsoft vids. Ever consider running a gbbr?
LCT, while having great external quality, is pretty expensive for the poor internals you get out of the box. E&L and VFC-spec CYMA AKs would be better if you intend on keeping them stock
E&L and Arcturus is under same company which will start doing russian style red dots, but if someone want classic ak they should buy E&L if someone want more modern ak its Arcturus.
LOVE THE AIRSOFT CONTENT
kharkiv Celcius guy here, My E&L served me well and I would highly reccomend one.
I personally think body armor will be more useful in field event, since it is easier for your teammate to get you up
You haven’t been to enough field events then
I can tell you from experience, wearing a 20lb (fully loaded) carrier in the woods is miserable. I live near Salsk. It’s an unforgiving environment once you get out in the sticks.
@@d26williams nope I did not, that's why I say I personally think
Hahaha no
It wasn't lmao
I never once got a pickup
Cool content. Would love to see a uniform video and beginner nato kit as well
Can we open the dialogue for utms and simunitions at these events? Or are they too dnagerous for stand off distances and “headshots”.
I’ve been face shot by a UTM while in Ranger Batt, not fun . Still have the scar on my face lol.
It would be sick to run an event the size of MSW with UTMs. But they are just not prevalent enough to organize an event on the scale of what we can do with Airsoft. Plus in reality, a good Airsoft gun will shoot further than UTMs, and are generally more accurate. The only thing UTMs have going for them is that the firearm mechanics are more realistic (for obvious reasons). They are best used in MOUT facilities.
@@BlueJeanOperator Yeah, I was wondering if that was a concern and I myself had that concern being hit in the face with them. Didnt know some airsoft guns shoot farther. Thank you for the reply my man, great content as you already know.
I would say that an Among Us backpack is authorized RUSFOR kit 😂😂
It is. Super kosher
Sadly… It’s not real.
Cybergun M4A1 Carbine is really good, I have it, it’s shaky and that’s a little annoying but that’s what literally any Airsoft M4 is like but besides that it’s full metal and only like $250 or $150 I kinda forgot but it shoots straight and it’s very reliable and really powerful and works every time, I had some work done to it and I still need to zero it in perfectly but it’s been winter so it’s a little hard to do and I also live in the city and don’t wanna get arrested for having a 1 on 1 exact replica, and that’s cool but not super good because mine literally looks exactly like an actual M4 and its hard for my uncle that was in the military and had an M4 for years to tell the difference, one of the only ways to find it out is to rack the slide but even then it could be confusing for a minute, but yea I highly recommend it, (if you can find it anywhere💀) yea and one thing I forgot to tell is it’s pretty rare and almost impossible to find the full metal one that I have, so sorry but I’m sure you’ll find a gun that you love too🤙
Love my LCTs too but I seem to have problems with a lot of them out of the box too. My Arcturus AK12 Perun seems like it'll be a much better workhorse AK, but i haven't had a chance to play a major op with it yet
Would a Pattern 83 rig in Nutria be okay for militia? All the cool Rusfor stuff is rad, but i got a mortgage to pay and can only use what I have...
What are your thoughts on GBBRs instead of AEGs?
I'm looking at e&l right now and it is pretty neat. Why are mosfets not working? Is it moisture shorting them?
I've been wanting to get into this it looks fun!
Reject functional kits, embrace lshz 2dtm + Raid L fragsuit + defender 2 in open heat
I just bought the same stuff on my USEC from tarkov and made a usec build. Works for any event
I've been watching you, jet and others having issues with your LCTs... Which sucks for me because I really wanted an LCT RPK 74MN but I'm a little paranoid now to pay over $450 for something that's gonna break down on me. Aside from that great video man.
Both brands are excellent choices for externals. Internally OOTB, E&L is slightly above and I like their gearbox better. They also have more parts you can keep. Once you modify the internals, both will do great, with LCT requiring more parts changed.
will the tasmanian tiger MK2 chest rig hold 7.62x51 magazines? like from the scar-h or an AR-10?
if you wana go rusfor and really comfy, get an sso partizan suit
ss-leto camo for autumm and atacs fg for spring and summer
never too hot, never too cold, and your ball will move freelly
you welcome
One of the most quintessential and definitive parts in rusfor kit is portyanki (sry but if you don't use those in your loadout = totally fake and ghei). Also ruskies for recon prefer to take bare-minimum AK's because of the weight (at least that's what some of the rw ruskis told me). About load bearing stuff I can say that korpus vizhivania (srvv) is quiet popular company for such products among their sf community (also one of the oldest).
Nothing like having your kit being good enough to make the B roll.
I will show up in Adidas and an Adidas track suit with my AK
Tasmanian Tiger is also my go-to for a Russian inspired kit.
Tasmanian Tiger MK2+Mercedes 4x4. Typical RUSFOR combo made in Germany xD
is there a video where you talk about the colours you used to spray your AKs?
Hey what battery do you use in the e&l. I just picked up the same rifle.
As someone who wants to get into it, what are the key things I need in my ruck? I understand that I’ll need food/hydration but what else?
For the militia kind set up what are your thoughts on using bandoleers and a backpack?
If you wanted to be accurate, you’d carry a mosin, and a Soviet knapsack
That would be sick
I carried bandoliers one year while running blanks. If you choose to do so I encourage you to sew the top of the bandolier to your pack’s armstrap. Mine kept fumbling and sliding around, and the added weight not being supported by the padded part of my shoulder got annoying after a while.
My question is where can i find Ruskie uniforms like pants and tops?
How has the AEMS treated you in the field, durability wise?
I've always wanted to go to a milsim west event but have 0 friends interested in doing this,
do you need a group or can I fall in with a group that I get assigned to?
We need milsim-down south somewhere in SC woods or NC woods would do great
E&l aks are awesome quality I love mine
Would a ciguera battle belt in conjunction with a Chicom chest rig be appropriate for Milita?
Thanks for the video! Looking forward to going to one to of these someday
I’d accept it. As long as you generally look like a pice of shit, it’s good to go for me. Bonus points if you are using an AK.
Why does the TT M4 rig suck compared to the MK2? If you were running strictly AR mags, is it ok or is the MK2 still better?
Traditional MK2 is better. It can run AR mags no problem. With the m4 variant, it’s like your limiting yourself to only AR mags, for seemingly no reason.
@@BlueJeanOperator thanks BJO!
all the real sso rigs i find are 600+cad or aproxiatly 400 usd
You cant get Smesh from Grey shop because SSO/SPOSN stopped selling for civilian market now.
What are your thoughts on using mossy oak and similar woodland hunting camos as uniform items?
Gott be used by russia
Is type 83 accepted as a milita chest rig? I also have a chicom i was just wondering
Yeah that would be fine!
@@BlueJeanOperator also bro is there like strict rusfor uniform rules like can i wear an older chechen era kit or does it have to be super modern i already have chechen and afghan era russian stuff i was just wondering
I’m wondering for rusfor what is ok to wear as uniform? I have an older sso Partizan suit would that work?
Yes
The death of garand thumb, colorized
Bro you need to jump on the Arcturus AK train. Far and away the best airsoft AK's on the market.
Emr and a 116 is a solid option
Thoughts on playing militia with an M4-series rifle as long as everything else matches tacsop?
I think it would be cool to keep the m4 classic. The a stock m4a1 or m16 variant. You see images of Chechen fighters using m4s.
What's the compatibility between E&L and LCT? I've heard E&L will take LCT mags but not vice versa, is that the case? Are there any other parts compatibility I should be aware of? Does E&L take real steel after market accessories like rails? I want to buy one of their AKs but I have so many questions...
They should both take most real steel parts, E&L even more so I believe. I don’t own an E&L but I’ve heard they’re picky with mags. Lct eats all the big name mags. lct , cyma etc..$
Can confirm lct ak’s are trash internally. When my lct broke the 5th time I just shelved it.
For the algo and AK gods
Doodle bug hat? Hell yeah
Where can I get that shirt ?

What e and l Airsoft rifle is this?
When i think of militia i think of the 6sh118 Chest rig.
Always wondered, can militia wear jeans?
What helmet are u wearing in the thumbnail??
Should try a GBBR replica since it's MilSim, AEG is just not realistic.
Thank you
Velcro added to a silent chicom makes it noisy not modern ..
Mfw I built an entire ratnik kit this year :(:
Grey shop rules! Never have any issues with the products or shipping

Mid caps. High caps aren’t allowed
@@BlueJeanOperator ok, thanks for the feedback man
Great video. I think its time to ditch the SMERSH.
holy fuck, i was there
Me and the boys are going to our first MSW event this year. We only have AR pattern rifles and nods and such but signed up for militia as most of our kit is OD green. How screwed are we
I would go pick up some cheap CYMA AKs. They’ll last you through the event and are more in the spirit of the game.
Please do not roll up as milita with m4s. If it’s an old school Vietnam era m16a1 I don’t see and issue but if you have an m4 with attachments and I come across you I’ll shoot 1st and ask questions later. Just get a cyma Ak for the event
Get a cheap used ak, or Double Eagle ak m900 is relatively cheap on Evike too
Also think about one of those cheap hooded oversuits in EMR or SS leto camo, doesn't have to be some fancy pants high end one, I got me an Ebay special to save money lol
Tbf I rolled up in crye chest rig and a mk18 clone with zero attachments once but I was also dressed like a EMR hobo lol so YMMV. I didn't even have a sling and my cheap iron sight fell off when I ran into a wall lmao.
ARs are fine for your first event. Take off all the attachments.
Please don’t show up with green plate carriers, helmets, warblers, etc. Except for at night w nods, then wear whatever helmet u need.
No uniform recs ?
try an ngrs, they are reliable and just sick to play with
