[QUOTE=xXEnder007Xx;21842232]So basically emerging from the water then shooting right? Just give your gun a good shake and fire, probably don't even need to do that. There's plenty of Youtube videos of people doing this just fine with a stock gun. All you need to worry about is taking apart your gun and drying every piece out, or else some metal parts might rust.[/QUOTE]
This is assuming your wiring is in best condition and your battery is in a fully sealed stock right? My stock is no longer fully sealed, clip broke through normal use :saddowns:, And CA wiring is iffy.
I have a handguard mounted battery.
:(
[QUOTE=Fenriswolf;21842079]This is off topic but I think the V2 of this thread should just be a general question asking thread because not all of us are newbies. Doesn't really matter though.[/QUOTE]
Noted, I will re-create the second version with this in mind.

Battery doesn't have to be sealed. And trust me, no stock will provide a water tight seal, water will find it's way in.

Marines, early war, 150 bux (excluding the gun)
Marine I'd <3 you if you could come up with a modern marine loadout for $500 excluding the gun.
If you have a Real Sword, it will go in water and still shoot no problem. Those things are tanks.

He said WWII.
Somebody at the Survival game broke my 1911, and repairing it will be like $16 plus $12 in shipping unless I can get someone to make a $100 order with me. I wanted to sell it, and this will surely put a dampener on my profit, especially if anyone mentions to potential buyers how it has had problems.
I'm thinking about being ridiculous and buying a SECOND KWA M11a1 and making myself look retarded by dual wielding at the local CQB area.

Some guy at the CQB place I play at does that. Scares the shit out of the newbies.
I just bring 2 extra guns with 3 mags each. Works wonders in CQB.

Here's what you need for an accurate BAR gunner:
M1 Helmet
HBT Utilities
Boondockers
Suspenders
BAR Belt
First aid kit
1-2 Canteens
The cheapest place to buy the HBT stuff retail is [URL="http://stores.ebay.com/Spearhead-Militaria"]Spearhead Militaria[/URL]. M1 helmets can be bought for cheap as hell on ebay. Boondockers are just plain expensive so those may be out of the question, if you can find some boots that look similar then they should do. The belt, suspenders, first aid, and canteens aren't completely necessary but would finish the "look"

I'll work on where to get the stuff later but all you need are boots, flight suit, plate carrier(IBA/MTV) with a couple pouches, and a PASGT.
Do you have any of this stuff right now?
Marine is sexy AND informative.
Yeah... i'm really into gear...
The BAR belt with that stock holder thing for hip firing looks awesome.
Gear isn't exciting to me. I just have the basic vest, BDU, etc. Guns on the other hand...

I'm looking at switching into Multicam. My "team" may be pissed since we're all ACU oriented, but I'm thinking of breaking away and looking for another team.
No! Don't join them! Personally, I want some CADPAT or British DPM.

Yeah, British DPM would be something you don't often see, Multicam is very common. The only reason you don't see it EVERYWHERE is because of its price. Or [url=http://www.soldiers.es/images/14420.gif]some tropentarn?[/url].

Euro camos ftw.
What kind of metal M4 midcaps do you guys recommend? I know for a fact MAG magazines are great internally, but I can't force myself to buy plastic magazines, and their metal magazines cost a ton. Or is that "ton" ($88 for 5) normal for M4 metal midcaps?

VFC makes good midcaps from my experience.

Actually, where I live, no team has Mutilcam within a 40 mile radius. But I'm open to all types of camo.
This is my receipt from today:

Okay, anyone have an insight on where to get a FN F2000? I've google'd and looked at Gi and came out with nothin'.
G&G just released a FN F2000 from what I know.
[QUOTE=Stupideye;21868103]G&G just released a FN F2000 from what I know.[/QUOTE]
I don't think it's been released yet, but near release.
And on the topic of camo, I found a surplus store that sells CADPAT near me. Too bad there's not much of it and it's all too large for me or weird sizes.
CADPAT is awesome. Basically everyone I play with has it though since most are in the CF.
Hey Stupideye, wanna ship me some? :buddy:
I'm being totally serious once I get some money.
I don't know where I would get it, I guess I could ask around. Its not like they just give people BDU's for free unless you join the CF but then you have to give them your soul.
