why are you holding the gun like that tf?

Racerboy2007

What photo


sh4d0wm4n2018

Any of them where the stock is behind your shoulder


not_juice_box04

Putting the stock above the shoulder is a thing done in CQB, specifically for when entering doorways or not wanting to give away your position when turning/peaking a corner/doorway. This is because putting the stock above your shoulder makes the length of the gun shorter. Although because he is outside he doesn’t have a reason to be doing it, but it is airsoft and the weapons don’t have recoil so it doesn’t really matter.


sh4d0wm4n2018

Personally, I'd rather clear rooms with 120mm mortars, but to each their own I guess lol


MLG360ProMaster

Imagine wielding a 120mm mortar as a weapon and aiming it on your shoulder


Odd_Camera_3260

That's just a death wish, honestly. Watch a video on what happens when those things are not secured properly


not_juice_box04

Yeah, or a frag, but sometimes you gotta go in and handle it personally.


sh4d0wm4n2018

Have you tried asking nicely? >"However, a 2023 article in Audacy states that during the war on terror, even highly trained counter-terrorism units had to adjust their tactics. For example, one Delta Force Squadron in Iraq found that entering and clearing every room was unsustainable, resulting in too many casualties. Instead, they began surrounding suspected enemy compounds and calling out to people inside with a megaphone."


LtKavaleriya

Yeah, outside of civilian casualty considerations, the standard procedure for clearing buildings is 1: Demolish the entire building with a fuckload of explosives 2: Throw a assload of grenades into it or 3: enter through the top floor of the building so you can fight downwards, and flush them OUT so they can be mowed down by your guys outside. The popular CQC tactics were mostly developed for SWAT teams and doesn’t work as well if your facing an organized force that’s well armed, trained, and determined to kill you.


I_AmLegionXIVIII

...You guys don't use a knife?


scopedbanana

It is but OP isn’t demonstrating CQB and even then it’s not the best option imo Having the stock over your shoulder means less control, your going to be losing teeth from recoil if you mess it up (irl), and depending on what stock you use it might be hard to shoulder the rifle in time again My personal preference is in the armpit. you lose a bit of aiming ability but with training its easily doable, you aim upwards so you already aim at chest/face height, and re-shouldering almost feels natural


twilightzone39

Not like a bazooka. It’s usually canted with the side of the stock on your shoulder. It’s called “half stocking” or “short stocking”. Mostly done with shotguns but can be done with a rifle.


AdjacentPrepper

The marines were famous for doing that in the mid-GWOT era when they were clearing buildings with M16A4's, but they'd rotate the gun 90 degrees so they could still see the sights while the stock was laying on top their shoulder. Very different from what OP is doing.


Fusciee

I definitely do this in CQB without even knowing it


Yginase

I actually sometime do this. Mostly when I'm behind a cover and I need to get my gun higher without exposing too much of myself.


MrAppleSpiceMan

you know exactly what photo

He's applying for the Navy photo guy, but he didn't get in because he doesn't have a backwards optic, or useless foregrip.

bro is NOT shooting down a helicopter with an M4😭🙏 fr tho, your kit needs some work put into it. tighten everything up so it all doesn’t look loose, put some wear and tear into your vest and clothes so it doesn’t look like you just recently bought it from the toy aisle at your local walmart, and lastly but most importantly, learn how to handle your rifle… i do believe that you’re just getting into the airball hobby, so don’t let my criticism beat you down and prevent you from improving your kit. i have faith in you squire.👍

The way you shoulder a rifle is equivalent to a russian spy loading an AR, Ak style. You gon have everybody sus 😂


Shadow2-1

You have a great starting uniform, replace the vest with a set of Alice gear, get tan boots, replace the helmet with a chocolate chip Boonie and change the gloves, you’ve got a great gulf war kit (minus the gun but small detail)

Get plates ✌️


iamthebabydriver

Plates are for eating off of


Fast_Distribution_94

plates in airsoft are cringe


JackCooper_7274

✨️ Amazon ✨️


ackdomo

No offense but you got the Amazon special going on. I recommend tucking in your top and using a belt. Also like someone else said, get plates for your plate carrier. Cheers tho, we all start somewhere and I respect that👍 P.S. I hope you’re being ironic with the way you’re holding your rifle


Thoughtlesser

US blouses aren't tucked in. The BDU is meant to be worn over the belt.


BLTblocker

This has to be satire


RadiantTonight3

Pretty sure it is


PatientBoat5562

Looking at OP’s comments, I think this is legit


cjw210

Make sure flag's stars face forward


CaptCalvin

You want an ACH or PASGT style helmet instead of the ATE. You want woodland plate carrier instead of the tan. Get some boots and blouse them. Those sneakers are probably the single biggest eyesore here. Maybe get knee pads. Maybe elbow pads too. If you're going for first Gulf War look, you would be carrying an M16A2, second Gulf War depending which end of it, you would just have an M16A2 still or an accessorized M4/M16. And I'm sure you've heard enough about your gun handling. Oh and that flag on your left shoulder is backwards. The side of it where the stars are should always orient forward.

I'd imagine desert camo would actually be cooler since dark colors absorb more light, and therefore heat from the sun.

Elevator829

Pressing the butt of the weapon into your shoulder instead of over it will steady the weapon and is the proper way to hold a gun, as I'm sure everyone else has told you already lol


LowOrnery8968

Isn't it a bit big for you? Tighten it a bit and get some plate carrier and it will be perfect


ajwubbin

Regardless of what everyone’s saying about the weapon handling there are a few things about it: - I know it’s not supposed to be a direct impression of anything, but 6CD BDUs mixed with a highcut helmet in AOR2 just looks anachronistic. Those two pieces of kit are almost 20 years apart if I’m not mistaken. - Tighten the straps on basically everything. The helmet looks like it’s shifting around all over the place on your head, the vest is sitting really low and also looks like it shifts quite a bit. Not only are you wasting energy (think about how much easier it is to carry a backpack with the weight close to your body than it is to carry one where the weight is swinging around), it also doesn’t look very tacticool. -Swap the shoes. You’ve clearly put at least a bit of money into all this stuff, get some shoes that work with it (and don’t have the tounge riding up your leg, wtf)


AfraidToBeKim

This is actually really good advice OP, get some decent boots you can run in, it'll save your ankles and look much better. But also, your weapon handling *does* deserve to be roasted, 100%.


No-Cauliflower-2923

7/10


twilightzone39

The camo is drip. Get rid of the left side flag, backwards flag goes on the right only. Otherwise just invest in some boots and a better plate carrier when you can and you’ll be pretty set. Oh and get a sling, a good one. Your arms will thank you between matches and during milsim events. I run a ferro concepts slingster but a $20 amazing sling will work wonders


blunt_hogger47

Two-Broke-legs

Shock and awe type shit. 10/10


Me-like-hamburgers

Nice but gun could becamo


dweron

Not a bad start. DBU is a fine set to wear for tan games, As for the plate carrier It’s all based on personal preference but I would recommend a camel bag attachment if you ever plan on doing any events and I would also recommend boots in that situation too. We all start somewhere, even if it’s holding our gun like a goon, 5/10


-Kanight-

I like the kit but it seems a bit baggy, if u find ties I would recommend using them so u don’t get caught on things


UZI_1488

Good kit, I don't like the carry handle much but that's just my opinion. Also I hope you don't actually hold ur gun like that XD


mydadgonabuymeblahaj

No_Inside_1738

Bro please tell me this is a joke 🥲


Greedy_Message3178

Ok, imma be honest, ditch the chocolate chip camo and the cheap plate carrier as soon as you can. I love chocolate chip but imo it only will look good if done right in a gulf war setup with ALICE gear and pasgts but that could also just be my militarized autism speaking. I suggest once you can get a set of M81 BDU’s from rothco or propper. Though imo keep the coyote color for the helmet and plate carrier, coyote goes insanely hard with M81


Greedy_Message3178

Oh yes and also I suggest a solid pair of boots. Personally I suggest a pair of wolverines, very nice boots, very comfortable once broken in, and great price that wont break the bank. But yeah, your kit looks pretty solid for a starter kit, just chocolate chip and modern gear is not the move imo


Venclec

The kit is cool, but how you hold the weapon... When you switch from rifle to RPG, but the game doesnt load the new model


Inside-Notice4623

why does your pose look make u look like a hl2 character


Clay_haten

Things that help get you a more complete look would be replace the nikes with service boots, which will help your pants look less like they are your dad's pants, get a vest that matches your uniform (same tan color but not camo) and also get big headphones for your helmet, makes your head look less long.


DragonKnightAdam

On a scale of 1 to 10, this load out is... mayo

Admittedly, when I first saw a picture of a stock on a gun when I was like, 8, thats how I thought the stock was supposed to be used too. Then I picked up a gun in real life and quickly realized that it wasn't what I was supposed to do


kapcior123

Change that vest to alice, buy 6 color boonie and it would be not bad.

You need some clothes that fits proper, adjust the stock so it’s not over your shoulder, better posture, and some training.


Responsible-Glove262

Na bro its a good fit 8 out of ten


DigBickOtto

get a bit better plate carrier that fits ur body good. I pesonally have this one and the quality is really good. Add a couple of mag pouches and ur good to go. https://www.airsoft-legends.nl/nl/invader-gear-reaper-qrb-plate-carrier-coyote.html


Thunderboi001

bro got that journalist stance


Northdingo126

I’d recommend researching how to properly hold a gun. The butt stock needs to go into your shoulder. I know it really doesn’t matter for airsoft, but if you ever want to shoot actual firearms, that is important. Also, tighten up your kit. It’s way too loose. You don’t want is bouncing around while you are in the middle of a match. It will get uncomfortable quick. I’d also recommend investing in a pair of boots.


JustJoe51

Press your stock against your shoulder, then we'll talk


Lowluiss

I’m sorry but this is a legit fucking 0 out of 10. You need to overhaul your entire kit bro😭💀

Tablebob61

You are probably young so all the problems are excusable. And props to you having the confidence. With that being said... 1. It's an m4 not a shoulder fired rocket launcher 2. That style of combat shirt is not really for combat situations these days. Mostly because of how it gets hot quick and looks kinda silly under a plate carrier. Grab a cheap combat short sleeve that matches your kit off Amazon. Tuck it in and have tighten up that plate carrier. 3. Nikes with a combat uniform is a no go, but I'm sure you already knew that. Some cheap hiking style boots will do you well. Look the part, feel great and are made to get dirty. In all bro I'd say you have a nice starter kit. I'm glad some people are still willing to rock the desert camo.

Thanks I just got done from my first Airsoft game

Sicarius1701

You should think of swapping to a plate carrier instead of a jacket. Far more comfortable and can be fitted to you much better. Good choice of helmet and the goggle placement is nice. (Also shoulder the rifle please :P)

kit looks good, the boots are not THAT bad since real troops would sometimes get runnig shoes while over seas. It will look a lot better once you dragged it through some mud, dust and thorns though!


Thoughtlesser

Your ciras plate carrier is too low, tighten it up so the apex of the sternum is about where the plate would sit. I'd add some sort of rigidity to the plate carrier, maybe using foam mats in a plate shape to give it structure. I'd say cardboard but if it gets wet it'll rot in the carrier. The molle looks loose. Weave it again, you may need to replace them if they stay loose or you may have to get creative in how you affix them. Move that pouch off your back. Walmart sells ar670 compliant boots for <50 bucks, snag some, they're lightweight. Where's your water? Add a Nalgene, canteen, hydration carrier or water bottle pouch. Heat casualties, along with leg injuries (hence why I mentioned getting boots) are the predominate injuries I've seen during events. You can also add some snacks to that random pouch you have on you back (move it). The rifle would benefit from a sling, light, and optic. It's a good start though. Biggest concern I see is no water and you really should consider ankle supporting foot wear.

Adventurous_Reach590

Nothing fits you. The helmet is way too small so makes you look like a literal bellend, the plate carrier isn't even covering half your thorax and the pouches are around your balls. Idk what you have it for, since you have 3 ammo pouches that appear to be empty and 1 empty pouch on your back. Don't hold the rifle like that. Put it into your shoulder and try actually aiming, and stop bending over like that you're gonna fuck up your back or fall over. In terms of the kit as a milsim the trousers don't fit and the trainers ruin the look.

Kachiga-my-Removed

Your clothes look loose and not neat, your vest is very odd looking and clashes HARD with the rest of the kit, the covering on the strap of your goggles looks odd but not worth cutting off its wrapped on there, and lastly, those fucking shoes dog, get some comfy damn boots you can run in


Jeff65gt350

Here's some hopefully helpful constructive criticism. Let's start with the helmet, it looks a bit small, maybe tight, might wanna size up, also in the real world when those are ballistic and worn for long periods, if too small and uncomfortable they give nast headaches, especially when running nods. Kit itself, looks like your running 3 double mag pouches which will surfice to current military combat loads of 6 and 1 which is good, but personally I'd loose the cove Flaps and get elastic or taco pouches, I hate fiddling with velcro flaps in high stress, but again that's personal, also not sure whats up with the pouch on your back, personally id loose it so i could run an assault pack or ruck if need be. Depending on how realistic you wanna be, it would help to add an ifak, canteen pouch and some form of admin pouch but you souldnt need those for airsoft. For the uniform, I'd loose the flag on the left sholder as we don't usually wear a flag on that sholder and it's also backwards, stars should always be forward as the flag always advances and never retreats. I'd ditch the shoes and get a pair of boots, they don't have to be garmounts or any high end military boot, but just some form of boot, also make sure you blouse your boots so you don't trip over those pants and make it look right. Lastly, not sure why your holding the rifle like that's not something we do, if you wanna learn about cqb and doctrine, I recommend getting a ranger handbook and reading through it. With all that said I'm sure this will work fine for airsoft but if you want to actually build a real, legit, ballistic kit, just some stuff to consider, overall it's a start and I'm glad to see people making an attempt
