Man, operators wear their pakhol in the derpiest way possible :v:

dunno if this counts but how to Taliban for NATO dummies (Taken from my Muj group)

[quote]There is a lot of overlap between Soviet Afghan War mujahideen and Taliban kit. Generally speaking:

[b]Soviet Afghan War mujahideen[/b]
-DO NOT color coordinate their outfits- usually no two items will match, and no one will match anyone else
-DO NOT wear shemagh/keffiyeh (unless you are from an Arabic country )
-DO NOT wear Western civilian clothing, except in large cities like Kabul
-DO NOT carry radios (only late war, and very rare)
-DO NOT carry canteens (water is carried and stored in communal jugs)
-DO NOT have more than one piece of load bearing equipment
-DO NOT carry more than one weapon
-DO NOT use Chinese Type 81 four cell AK chestrigs (these were current issue in China at the time)
-Facial hair is clean shaven, mustache, or beard
Sometimes wear Western military clothing (typically captured or supplied jackets), usually late war
-Usually wear sandals or locally made leather shoes, but military boots and sneakers are sometimes seen

[b]Taliban[/b]
-DO NOT color coordinate their outfits- usually no two items will match, and no one will match anyone else
-DO NOT carry more than one weapon
Chinese Type 81 four cell AK chestrigs sometimes used
-Keffiyeh/shemagh uncommon
-More than one piece of load bearing equipment is more common
-Handheld radios are more common
-Western civilian clothing sometimes worn in urban areas
-Nylon load bearing equipment sometimes used
-Beard is at least the length of a fist (easily hidden by dismaal or lungee if you don't have/can't grow a beard)

protip for dudes doing Afghan Taliboo, be sure to get the payraan tumbaan with the folded down collars, since Afghanis wore those more often

the ones with the straight collars are usually worn by Pakistani Jihadists which was more prevalent in Soviet Afghan where Pakistan trained Muj guys to fight Soviets

[editline]19th December 2014[/editline]

Also brotip: roll your pakhol all the way up and wear it literally on the tip of your head

Afghanis never wore it down like a lot of floperators do, and neither did Delta at the time, it looks ridiculous

i feel like the pakol would just fall off if you wore it on the tip, if you were operating hard enough??

[QUOTE=venom;46757725]i feel like the pakol would just fall off if you wore it on the tip, if you were operating hard enough??[/QUOTE]

That's why I wore it the way I did. If it was rolled up it would have just slid off my 'ead

[KILL001]

[QUOTE=venom;46757725]i feel like the pakol would just fall off if you wore it on the tip, if you were operating hard enough??[/QUOTE]

nope, from personal experience if you get it right it doesn't fall off at all

plus look at all these afghan dudes running around

you can wear it lower but be sure you have the pakhol rolled all the way up

[IMG]https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/1560632_10205545539306782_2033347307098042683_n.jpg?oh=af4075fbd8bc387da1cf48cea048d850&oe=5501B1B1[/IMG]

'cause this just screams "hello I am HATO can I fit in yet"

[quote][IMG]http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac359/strega_8/KBL/IMG_867o.jpg[/IMG][/quote]

and based on the delta photo, I'm sure those guys were briefed on how to wear the pakhol somewhat correctly so they don't look iffy from a distance

main thing is rolling it all the way up, or at least don't wear it like a beanie. Pashtun coolpoints if you can get it up as high as you can

[Wulfram]

I shall try my pakol all rolled up on and post the results

[editline]20th December 2014[/editline]

it fits ok I guess but it falls off if I move my head too much. Have to remember though that I have a massive head, and this pakol was probably made for normal human beans

[editline]20th December 2014[/editline]

there we go. I unrolled it to roll it back up and there was a strip of wool inside the roll. I took it out and now it fits my head much better fully rolled up

[editline]20th December 2014[/editline]

for reference

whoa hey shit i actually have a pakol sitting around somewhere in my little storage/armory lol

totally forgot i ordered one way back, never wore it

[KILL001]

[QUOTE=Wulfram;46759992]for reference

[t]http://i.imgur.com/CHApzO2.jpg?1[/t][/QUOTE]

looks good, the only thing I would suggest is a more circular 'rolled up' look but if it keeps falling off do it your way

[Wulfram]

I tried doing a tighter roll but I cant seem to get it as tight as in the pictures you posted.

[KILL001]

[QUOTE=Wulfram;46760091]I tried doing a tighter roll but I cant seem to get it as tight as in the pictures you posted.[/QUOTE]

ah wait, automatically assumed you had an insert to allow the pakhol to be rolled up looking more circular

basically the way it works is, you have this rolled up towel, rat tail looking piece of fabric that roll [i]with[/i] the pakhol to help with the more 'ring' looking appearance

completely forgot about that part ignore what I just said :v:

at first I thought that those are airsofters, too good photo quality for tora bora :v:

[Zao Medong]

Glad this thread is a thing. Going home in a couple days, so Tora Bora (sort of) kit inbound.

[Herfjotur]

[B][I][U]Heavy[/U][/I][/B] WIP. I got the pakol and shemagh in today. Ordered the 0290, so now I just need the RAID DCU and to buy my new WE M4. Whats the most accurate PEQ2 replica?

[TaiwanesePrick]

G&P makes the best PEQ-2.

[Fish Muffin]

why do you have binoculars in your bathroom

[CodeMonkey3]

It's for when he has to wash his privates.

[Zao Medong]

Welp, mine's done. Consider it a [I]really[/I] loose, modern interpretation (read: my regular kit but with a patu).

[apoctank]

Those arm things are awesome

[Zao Medong]

Thanks, they turned out pretty good for $20. Super warm too.

[editline]11th January 2015[/editline]

But Jesus Christ I tried playing in the patu today and it was fucking hot. Also it does not like staying put during ~operations~.

[Herfjotur]

Great, look what we've done: [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/airsoft/comments/2s9bal/durka_durka/[/url]

is he wearing an oversize dress shirt as some sort of field-expedient perahan wa tumban? WTF???

[editline]13th January 2015[/editline]

also lmao at "This is awesome! Old school kits are wicked."

in what world does:
mayflower chest rig + dumb XXL dress shirt + desert night camo + non-period m4 setup

= old-school kit???

it's the end of ifap as we know it

and i feel fine

This is the only non-locked IFAP thread i could find so I'll suggest it here:

We really need a steam or facebook group or something. If we have an FB group we can still post loadouts/guns on there.

I dunno if this would be a rule violation but we could just have a thread that functions as both airsoft-discussion and friendly talk at the same time, like a hybrid of sabage, deli lyfe and post your guns
