Excellent stuff again boys, keep on keeping on. Best part of your videos is the way you avoid any elitism. Although the majority of your gear is high end, you always provide a budget alternative without being derogatory about it, unlike some other channels. Great stuff, and props to Oscar 🤧
As a former professional guy, and now Industry guy, I liked your approach and discussion, especially that you use language to express „impression“ „expression“ good vid mate
That’s a great guide. I’ve spent a fair amount of time over lockdown trying to get my kit comfortable rather than “correct”. I’ve taken advice and guidance from Ex operators and most of them agree with you that you don’t need Crye, Emerson Gear is just as good. However I have invested heavily in a Warrior Assault System LPC plate carrier as I wanted decent quality rather than just looks.
For me its a hobby in itself collecting these things... if i didnt spend money on kit, i'd spend it on beer, or warhammer models... at least i can sell the kit on easier if i cant fit into it anymore. Much less of a market for second hand beer or toy soldiers :)
I'd love to James but its very very rare kit and i've never been lucky enough to own any of it and its not really something that you can easily get repros of either... we could probably get the tank overalls, the respirator and hood and the MP5 then we'd hit a wall... oh i tell a lie, i've got the right boots and gloves for it lol
Hey, it'd be absolutely sick if you could do something like a US Infantryman (either army or USMC, or "universal") kit during Operation Iraqi Freedom, specifically the first stages. It's a pretty affordable kit, and is a nice stopgap between the modern kits and the retro kits. An 80s/Desert Storm US kit would also be pretty badass.
Hi I am a new watcher of ur channel and this is very helpful bc I’m trying to get a cool airsoft load out and I wanted. A British one and this is exactly what I needed to know do u think a FABARM SFT12 11" SHORT FDE SPRING SHOTGUN would be good for this outfit
Very cool guys! Pretty much what I've ended up wearing, I didn't realize it was an actual load out, it's just how my kit has evolved over the last 5 years or so.
@@AnvilAirsoftTV true I have a helikon chest rig worth £80 for indoor games. I recently bought similar custom dpm PLCE and I absolutely love my PLCE for woodland games
Another great and informative vid, thanks guys. Useful did-bits on kit and I think it be worth you both doing a more detailed walkthrough of both load outs in a longer format vid. The other thing to remember with UKSF is they get to borrow from SOCOM too ;-)
@@AnvilAirsoftTV maybe a collab with him? I think a bit of a more in-depth review and coverage would be good, but I understand the keyboard heroes would have something to say ….
It is interesting the degree of homogenisation in SF kit at times. Pretty much multicam and high cut helmets. As you mentioned the kit could be the basis for a multitude of loadouts. Must have put a lot of work into the replicas.
Personally i think its part of a few things.. the amount of 'cross over' work they do means they get to share best practice and best kit, its also pretty much the 'apex' of effective design so even independently most units will go 'this style is best for us' and i imagine it also helps to have a common sillouhette if you're working together to avoid any hesitation when aquiring a target.. Just 'guesses ' on my part there though.
There’s some small specific differences between the units. Type of pouch and location differs a bit. Largely though generic Multicam good guy is pretty similar. The enthusiast know the differences. Outwardly the biggest significant variation is the primary followed possibly by the plate carrier.
@@gadgeharvey5544 That would certainly seem to be a strong contender for it. The degree of joint training and operations would lead to a "cross pollination" of kit.
Bit of an addition to think about (that I know is used by SB and Hereford) is the Uber strong magnet in a Molle pouch worn on the belt kit - when transitioning to secondary the magnet holds the primary in place to stop it swinging around, very useful in CQB environments. Think Blackhawk make a proper version (so hideously expensive) and I haven’t seen clone versions anywhere yet.
Some nice kit there if your aiming for that look, all down to personal preference like and that’s top. Would be cool to possibly see you’s do a modern Russian sf loadout with the gorka suit
@@AnvilAirsoftTV you guys are just so knowledgeable. awesome 😃 I'll have to go with an old boiler suit and gas mask, to be honest any excuse to run an MP5 🤣
My system has always been based on keep simple stupid, I've gone back to that. When I first played airsoft just brought a smock you can stuff everything into it. I do have a chest rig 5.11 molle. They don't make those anymore all it had on it was a smg pouch now it has a 5.56 pouch instead.
There's an inner belt in the MRB that the holster can be threaded through. It's a tad floppy in. my experience so some people reinforce the connection with Zip ties. I personally use a rigid shooters belt from C2R
ahh i love the idea of changing my Tippmann into an L119a2 but the money needed and all the trades etc just make me cringe. Love that A1 though! Need to go retro UKSF now, DPM SAS Windproofs and old school M16's!
@@AnvilAirsoftTV your choice! You always put options of customization so it's all up to you! But i would really like to see some thick and heavy loadout, the one i like the most is the full green one of San Diego's FBI
Most Modern kit doesn’t really interest me very much other than this loadout I’m afraid. I’ll do some sort of Police armed response or early 80s/90s SWAT loadout when the TM MP5A5 come out.
I was thinking about trying airsoft out after watching some cool videos..but now i know how expensive it is im just going to be a spectator. Over a grand for a rifle? Can you hire the guns at the airsoft place or is that not a good idea.
You can buy normal airsoft replicas for as little as £100/$100. The ones shown in this video aren’t mass market manufactured so had to be custom built. When starting out I would always recommend that you hire first.
@@AnvilAirsoftTV yeah same here. Have the basic shirt and trousers etc but the actual plate carriers and other stuff is so specialist i'd never use it for anything other than one of these videos... also not a unit/force i know enough about tbh
We play airsoft. There’s no real need to run armour. So for practical reasons such as weight and heat management a good chest rig is our choice for CQB generally. However if you’re going for a certain look or specific UKSF impression then we would go with a plate carrier.
It’s a CAT tourniquet. Most of it is inside the pocket stowed at the right length for it to be used on the limb it’s on. The remaining flap is then stuck to the outside pocket Velcro so it can be extracted and applied fast.
The L119A2 is a version of the C8 carbine length AR-15 made by Colt Canada, formerly known as Diemaco. The L119A1 was an earlier version of the C8 which was made by Diemaco. The M4 is the US Army’s current service weapon. Different variants of the same family. The L119A1/2 are not an M4 but they are all AR-15s.
Going to watch this again when I'm sober.

To add to what Gadge is saying, a lot of what we have is second hand and the resell value is pretty much what we paid for it.
@@gadgeharvey5544 I think it's awesome. If you saw someone in this kit when deployed you'd genuinely think they were SF. Keep it up!
@@AnvilAirsoftTV Yes i can imagine that it's almost a no-loss activity. Great that people see the value in the kit
BEAUTIFUL 😍 amazing video long overdue in my book. Perhaps gadge will one day do an 80s era uksf ct kit?

I’d have to look and see what the LBV and armour go for in the UK. If I can find them cheap enough I don’t see why not.
Another good one. Really enjoy seeing how others personalize their kits.
Thanks. There’s a bit of scope in this load out.

Thanks we’ve got to a good place with these loadout videos we think.
Very cool guys! Pretty much what I've ended up wearing, I didn't realize it was an actual load out, it's just how my kit has evolved over the last 5 years or so.
Generic Multicam good guy is quite well spread across NATO now.
Loving these loadout videos, personally thr longer I play airsoft the more I appreciate old school loadouts
Same here really. Sometimes it’s nice to put modern kit on though :)
@@AnvilAirsoftTV true I have a helikon chest rig worth £80 for indoor games. I recently bought similar custom dpm PLCE and I absolutely love my PLCE for woodland games

@@AnvilAirsoftTV Good call, the difference is in the details.
Interestingly, the storm grip is what G&P called the pistol grip, the real one is called the Stowable grip II
Good fact :)
Makes me feel like I'm not trying hard enough with my scruffy old D.P.M. Good vid.👍
We like scruffy old DPM! :)
Great video recently joined airsoft and the load out on some of the guys is insane really like this look 👌
Hey. Yeah some people put a lot of time, effort and money into it.

I was just watching a video from spiritus where one of their staff was using an Uber magnet to tether his breaching shotgun. Thanks for the info.
I love the kit for airsoft and I completely agree it doesn’t need to be 100% perfect but the kit you displayed is very cool
Thanks. We like it too.
Some nice kit there if your aiming for that look, all down to personal preference like and that’s top. Would be cool to possibly see you’s do a modern Russian sf loadout with the gorka suit
We might do a Modern Warfare style Russian in a Gorka or more probably a Wagner mercenary.
Anvil Airsoft TV Sounds great I look forward to it
Love it, I really want that L119A2! 😍
Hope you’ve got a deep wallet! :)
Very nice video lads 👍, I myself have been making a UKSF load out but have used atacs camo for my plate carrier rather than MTP, it works really well
Not sure that’s going to work for a UKSF loadout. :) There are forces that have used ATACS though. Most notably the Russians.
I hear what your saying, It's a work in progress
Great video, great detail! could there be an SAS loadout on the horizon? especially with TM announcing the recoil MP5!!!
It’s incredibly hard to do. Most of the kit was custom made and is impossible to find.
@@AnvilAirsoftTV you guys are just so knowledgeable. awesome 😃 I'll have to go with an old boiler suit and gas mask, to be honest any excuse to run an MP5 🤣
I’m sure we’ll find something to do with it.

Hah. That’s easy. I’m too old and too diabetic. :)
Love it guys
Thanks.
Lovely kit. Hats off to you. Quick question though how have you mounted your Safariland holster on your crye belt
There's an inner belt in the MRB that the holster can be threaded through. It's a tad floppy in. my experience so some people reinforce the connection with Zip ties. I personally use a rigid shooters belt from C2R

@@AnvilAirsoftTV YEAHBOIIII look forward to watching.

Gel blaster prices here in Australia can go from 500-2,500 for high to top end. (Stock and custom)

Great vid guys!
He makes an appearance at the end of the Russian ration review :)

A classic early one?

Dangler!
I love a dangler. Protects my belly :)
ngl in stead of the l119a1 or a2 i would just use a the new l85a3
Not used by UKSF but there might be some in use by SFSG or attached units.

I’ve got some of the kit but not enough to do a full loadout.
@@AnvilAirsoftTV yeah same here. Have the basic shirt and trousers etc but the actual plate carriers and other stuff is so specialist i'd never use it for anything other than one of these videos... also not a unit/force i know enough about tbh
I’d say a plate carrier is far better than a chest rig, why is it that you guys would rather run a chest rig?
We play airsoft. There’s no real need to run armour. So for practical reasons such as weight and heat management a good chest rig is our choice for CQB generally. However if you’re going for a certain look or specific UKSF impression then we would go with a plate carrier.
Where can I get the black arm strip for my kit?
It’s a CAT tourniquet. Most of it is inside the pocket stowed at the right length for it to be used on the limb it’s on. The remaining flap is then stuck to the outside pocket Velcro so it can be extracted and applied fast.
SA80/L98A2 that’s what u need
Not for this impression/loadout
No its not...
do S.A.S 1990
Very very hard to do properly. And expensive. What operation where you thinking about.
Sorry but Oscar made it for me.
He’s a good boi.
