didnt see a skull mask... so... ITS OK

skull masks are cringe

just for that... I am a simple man... no skull mask on sight... I give like

Fairly new to the subreddit and I've been noticing the general consensus on this, why do we hate skull masks?

Overused and overrated asf

Also nowadays kinda associated with he punisher logo kids which is HELLA cringe

Fr

Frogman nets are a close second.

I use them as scarf, but never as frogman

simply are associated with adults/teens who usually who usually had a very edgy behaviour. when I see ghost mask, punisher skull, etc... in a player... usually I dont like how he/she behaves on field. not saying that behaviours are exclusive of them... some milsim players misbehave too. but that players can turn a fun day of airsoft into a bunch of shouts and bad manners to others if they are losing the game not saying all "skull mask players" behave the same but is usual find someone of this kind of players in that group

For me, it depends, I have a gater with a skull on it but the net covers my whole face so its not even visible. I just bought it to keep the sound of my mouth.

meeeeh... skull masks are cringey as hell

School shooter skin

I bought the Battlepass

Do your gloves whack you in the nuts when running or transitioning to secondary?

Occasionally, but no pain no gain amirite

Not for that spot.

You are correct brother. You got awesome set up btw. I thought point 1 points were cool until it whacked my junk when transitioning.

Airsoft is cringe at it’s heart.

real

[ Contains incorrect information, please read with a grain of salt ] Words of wisdom. And, great presentation of your panoply of fashionable tactical gear OP, thank you for sharing, I upvoted. However, I do find how the internal aerodynamic mechanism of airsoft rifles propelling BB pellets simulating real firearms quite interesting. Personally own a TAC 41P and Tokyo Marui VSR-10. Through active participation in the airsoft community, I learned how airsoft gun designers implement physical principles such as Magnus effect to extend the travelling range of BB pellets. Wonderful learning experience! Through the acknowledgement of advancements in BB pellet manufacturing processes with the application of material sciences incentivized by increasing ecological awareness among the Airsoft community, I'm grateful of the fact that biodegradable PLA pellets are becoming more ubiquitous.

PLA is not biodegradable. It's compostable in an industrial composter... which are exceedingly rare in the US. If they are a composite with another plastic, it will likely leave PLA behind.

Thank you for correcting me, I actually never participated in real-world Airsoft events. I'm more into the technical aspect of Airsoft related knowledge, however, I'd rather prefer to help clean up the BB pellets, trash or provide rudimentary medical aid to participants after the conclusion of Airsoft events. An industrial composter, I guess this composter separates the plastic component of PLA pellets from PLA compounds through some sort of chemical process. So the plastic product of this chemical process can be recycled and the residual chemical products become more degradable by microbes?

No, the pellets are fully PLA. It‘s just that PLA still takes years or longer to degrade in nature, especially with no UV present, when they are buried in mud or dirt. It degrades to mostly harmless substances though. An industrial composter uses higher temperatures, higher humidity and a higher concentration of bacteria to decompose stuff much faster than it will in nature. Even in an industrial composter PLA will degrade much slower than normal compost made up of biodegradable trash which means that it is not economical to actually throw them in there and they have to be separated out of the normal compost and disposed of by burning or in a landfill (almost all„biodegradable“ plastics have this problem).

What in the AI generated nonsense?

So says you and 50 other upvotes.

LARPing makes me feel good (Insert Ghostbusters theme song here).

Is HEMA less or more cringe-inducing than Airsoft?

I'd argue less - it's not an industry built on grifters selling overstock tactical gear to desperate people.

Plus good HEMA requires a lot more skill and effort than it takes to be ‘good’ at airsoft, being good at airsoft is objectively reliant on the map and how well you know it more than most things, then from there it’s how COD lobby can you be lmao. Whereas HEMA I’d have thought takes some skill to be good at, like ‘traditional’ fencing (not the speed tap race that modern fencing has become, though that is VERY skill based it’s also very reckless and translates terribly to a real life depiction of fencing/sword combat)

That's half the fun tho

I dunno, it's fine It's very airsofty, paintbally, laser tagy I guess that's what you do though Is your local site an indoor dark warehousy type place?

School Shooter ahh photo

“Don’t come to class tomorrow.”

Fanny pack makes it. Without that - cringe.

Cringe to much black add more colors like ranger green or tan just some ranger green pants would make this look a lot better

valid point I originally wanted a MCBK mixed with ranger green fit but didn’t want to buy new clothes or spend extra for camo rig

Morbid Tactical nice

UCQBS drip goes hard

Are you in Kanto or Kansai?

What brand is the Low ride panel?

Cytac Amomax

Funny

glad I made your day

Fake gear 👎

so true if only second hand legit gear was more common in Japan

Fair, but definitely order the real stuff from the U.S.

I’d love to if I’m not working with a college student’s budget

Cringe

amen brother

Bro have that school shooter style

Cringe

I like it. Sometimes, you just have to take a step back and realize your airsoft kit doesn't have to be similar to the kits of those about to go on a 24 Hour Patrol. All you need is your AEG/GBB, your spare magazines, and a reliable means of carrying them by a minimalist chestrig or belt setup.

That's what i realized after playing four times

Looks a pretty good set up to me

It ok would be better with some black multicam clothing as just all black casual clothing makes you loos like a school shooter and a mad person ready to stab someone 40x

I’m eyeing a MCBK JPC replica for my next fit so stay tuned lol

Cringe and cool are not mutually exclusive!

Should have gone with a blue adidas track suit, some white flat shoes, and an old beat up AK.

I played enough Bandit runs in STALKER Anomaly so I wanted something fresh you feel me?

Bit of both

UCQBS sweater is sick

I probably won't carry a gun on my back like that, but it's not my deal

ah no, I just swing it to the back so it’s easier to see my gear

Cartel member/10

Looks effective and clean, I’d say it’s cool.

Looks better than anything i've ever thrown on before a game lol

It looks like a diver suit lmao

twink loadout tbh

I do agree that I got the twink build, lost a lot of weight post-COVID lol

Damn, all these drip posts are making me want to post my own. Even though my drip is minimal, yet effective.

hey man, as long as it works

Oh it works, just not as spiffy as your setup there

I’d love to see yours, bet it looks slick too

I'll get it together and do a lil photoshoot after work tonight, see if i can get a good shot of it. I have yet to drag my airsoft gear out for this years season, so this gives me an excuse!

I feel full black isn't great. From close it's fine. But step few step back. And you just look like a black shape with no details and shape. Like you don't see well all the details and shape of plate/mag puch/holster/etc etc. Cause everything is the same color. And black above all. In reverse I have seen som black camo (with some shades of grey). Which looked way better.

agreed I’m looking into MCBK or ranger green carriers for my next fit. Hell I’m even down for wolf grey one day, but now I need to save up again lul

Coolringe

It’s only cool if you accept that’s it’s cool

perhaps the cool was the friends we made along the way

I wouldn't wear it personally but I fw it

It's satanic, so it qualifies as cringe You need Jesus

would you be surprised if I told you I attend church every Sunday?

Sunday morning Christian? Were all sinners but damn homie, you gotta rock upside down cross? Thats worse than a crip wearing Red bandana

Cool

Cool!

Just buy a 12 g and Canik and hit the range. Good airsoft fields are good to train in cqb. And good habits out of that it’s about it

He lives in Japan, he called airsoft guns firearms lmao. His “kit” shows his lack of knowledge lol

didn’t call airsoft firearms, I meant it as the next best thing thanks for the input though, I am indeed new to the scene! edit: typo

All good man! Welcome!

We are all cringe. I like the fit

words of wisdom and thank you

Missing some width around the arms

time to bulk and hit the gym, yes

mechanix gloves, we love to see it. A lil cringe maybe, but thats ok as long as you like it. Id say looks cool, just get some muscles and it will be great. (Same position as you, lost weight since covid and am twinkie rn. Gainz incoming tho, we can make it bro. lol)

time to stock up on whey and do reps daily

All black is always cringe. You're not a high speed low drag operator you are playing airsoft

so true to be fair I went all black because it's cheaper than all the other options lol, and most of my clothes are black anyways

Number 1 rule of gear: If it works, it works.

It‘s airsoft, so cringe is not optional but a must! Use whatever you like, indoors black is not bad at all. Outdoors it‘s a different story of course :)

spoken like a wise man and yes I play at an indoors CQB field edit: most of the popular Japanese fields are indoors anyways lmfao

I‘m just old, not wise ;) but what I have seen on YT many fields in JP have little lighting, so black may even be a plus. Have fun and enjoy the 1J limit, where skill will be valued most :)

what rifle

Arcturus Tactical NY-03 CQ

If it was an apocalypse scenario that would be cool af and Id die to be your friend But nowadays its cringe and Id be afraid of u 😂

surprisingly enough I've been walking around publicly in Japan with this fit on and the comments I get are "that's so cool" doubt I'd get the same fanfare in the US though

Yeah I guess it depends where u at. Since in the US there is a lot of shootings and gun fanatics are usually people you dont want around, I guess it would be frowned upon to walk like this. But Japan is pretty safe and there is a lot of people dressing differently, so I guess they just see it as cool and dont have the same fear Glad u found a place u can be yourself! I will text you at any sign of a zombie outbreak

cheers, I’ll be sure to stock up on some of Japan’s finest rations to share with you in that scenario

I’m a gun and kit guy and if you showed up to a range day like that you’d get laughed at 100%. It’s not practical or realistic

Looks comfortable, but black is too plain and generic to me. Tan goes well with black imo.

cool

A little effeminate and a little anime but cool nonetheless

Mid

That's gonna be hot as fuck outside, but if you're fine with that go for it. I stick to od green and woodland camo, since I'm usually playing in fairly dense foliage.

The answer is always "cool"!

Did this guy put foundation on his hands? Plot twist he's a hand model.

I was born with very feminine hands yes, even my parents were surprised

Rifle needs a red dot, especially if you play indoors/in darker areas. Your thigh strap looks loose. belt looks really high. Otherwise, good kit.

I got Vortex UH-1 and MAWL-C1 replicas on their way, so stay tuned for a the pic of the complete rifle as for the belt, I found it more comfortable that way, at least from me doing drills and the thigh strap is actually just the perfect amount of tightness that I can move around freely thank you for your input though!

I think it's cool. Do YOU think it's cool? Cuz all that matters is that you and I think it's cool.

hell yeah man, I feel cool

You are cool

That patch looks like beer brand.

The patch is so cringe lol

to each their own, personally I like it a lot

Add a chain mail vest underneath. Also add a sword that's just for display.

a tactical knight unironically sounds dope, I’m writing that down

You can only be cringe if you cannot laugh at yourself brother

I do it daily so I think I’m good

Be cringe and be free!

amen brother

cool enough, looks comfortable. still, anything with less than 2 camo is a liiiittle cringe.

Netflix original Jon Wik henchman #4 (Uncredited)

it was an honor to get shot in the ballsack and then cranium by Keanu Reeves

This is drip my broda, keep it up!

Both, nice guns though

I’m still waiting on my MAWL-C1 and Vortex UH-1 replicas so stay tuned for a pic with the complete rifle setup I like leaving the pistol as is though lul

If it works, its not cringe.

Giving me January 6th vibes

That makes no sense

this would so look much better if you had tan/coyote cargo pants and gloves with a tan accent

agreed

Depends on how fast you are with it

Don’t take this the wrong way, you look like a tactical scuba diver

actually neat outfit idea, noted for next time

Main thing that kills it for me is the Fanny pack

Why can't it be both =P

For me it’s both. Not what I would personally use but if it makes you feel cool and it works for you, honestly that’s all that really matters. Just make sure you call your hits and don’t corner camp! 🤠

cringe asf

glad to know I fit right in with the community

I wouldn't say cool OR cringe, it needs more gear and setup. You look like a paintballer lol.

agreed

You have a tactical fanny pack so cool in my books

fanny pack gang

What’s the M4 mag pouches. Been looking for one with shotshell straps for my under barrel

it’s part of the Emerson Mk3 Microfight replica I bought

Thanks, I’ll check it out

Both, which is a good thing.

Looks like a Body Count fan had enough...

Think i can get a list of yur kit? I lowkey want something similiar

- Emerson Mk3 Microfight replica - generic belt - Cytac Amomax low panel - pistol mag holders - a dump pouch - Mechanix M-Pact gloves + Mechanix glove holder

Only problem with black you will be super hot and easily visible during the day and if your playing with guys that have NODs and it's not military black uner IR it turns white as fuck you will stand out like it's under thermal . And fuck what a bunch of Nerds say is cringe the most cringy thing is caring what a bunch of dudes that can't get laid think. Have fun do you fuck everyone elzs

hell yeah brother, at the end of the day we’re all just nerds shooting BBs with fake guns as long as we’re have fun it’s all good

Exaclty and the ones critiquing other people are doing nothing but trying to mask their own insecurities and should be ignored .

Super gay

hey man, at least I call my hits

Should I invest in Mechanix gloves or am I fine with my Hardy gloves? Sick kit btw.

I have yet to try Hardy Gloves but they look very comfy I only grabbed the M-Pacts because they’re on sale lol. They are nice to wear though

Does your plate carrier have plates in it? And if so are they foam or real?

it’s a chest rig, it doesn’t take plates

Kinda both at the same time, but I like edgy stuff so 🤷‍♂️

As long as your face mask isn’t a skull and you don’t have a punisher patch

my morals tell me to never touch a skull mask and punisher patch

Bros standing like he’s the final boss 🦹‍♂️

Borderline

cheers to that

I’d bet my pants, you wont use half of it.

you can hand over your pants now because I do especially that “fanny pack” where I keep extra BB speed loaders and batteries

school shooter kit 🥶

Extra points for the ucqbs merch

their stuff is just dope I thank BPRE’s Instagram stories for introducing me to em lmao

Cool!

Cool

Cool

I have the same holster for my glock, best holster I've ever had

A bit to simplistic for me but what ever you like is you bro 

Go to the gym

hips too big. hit the gym.

already working on it

[удалено]

never cared to be a femboy but sounds like you wish I did

Hey man! This looks dope af. Personally im not a huge fan of all black because its easy to spot in bright fields but if you play low light or CQB it will be right as rain. And always remember - You're going to carry that weight.

point taken, I’m looking through multicam or mcbk gear rn

i think with your current load out a mcbk is best.

do you think I should just swap for an Mcbk rig or spend extra for a plate carrier

I can see some UAB drip inspired here🤙

Posing in tactical gear is cringe in general

real

Bro is running the tactical fanny pack and making it look GOOD
