I pm'd him about doing a pretty good job in regards to research and accuracy. You have to admit it's not bad. As for the cap badge, he did express the desire not to offend anyone and that his team doesn't use the beret often if at all. I don't think it was his intent to piss anyone off, rather Texas was just trying to emulate one of units as closely as possible. With the amount of airsofters replicating other nations, I think it's neat that someone chose to do a Canadian loadout.
|
He's been told SEVERAL times by SERVING CF guys that they don't like him posing and still he does it...
And he can replicate the CF all he want WITHOUT rank slip-ons, branch tape, beret, cap badge and whatnot |
I hadn't realized it was mentioned several times already and that it was an issue. Don't get me wrong though; I fully understand why members would be upset. The only point I'm making is that as far as actual kit goes I've seen much worse is all.

I could not care less, as long as it's just for modeling and taking pics... if he starts bragging that HE IS from said unit and yadayadayada, or does stupid shit while wearing the cap badge/slip-on, then I'll have a problem...
However, to save people from getting in shit for the reasons mentionned above, just don't do it... |

posted earlier on the introductiosn thread but thought I should add this here.
Just joined my canadian better half in a Canadian load out for airsofting over here. Cadpat is UK bought but Canadian made, CF vest is from Canada on ebay. A&K Mk1 M249/C9 just using my 1911 for now may pick up a Sig 226 to stand in for the newer issue 225 although there should be a new high power on way from WE soonish hmmm! http://a.imagehost.org/0304/29193_12..._7846995_n.jpg http://j.imagehost.org/0165/DSC00876_Medium.jpg images thanks to John/Scoutthedoggie Also have a C8 project on the go just needs an inner barrel and the C8 body from DR! http://j.imagehost.org/0102/DSC00882_Medium.jpg |

Little question from a CADPAT noob : what are you guys using as second line nowadays ? I saw a lot of stuff in these 78 pages but I have a hard time clearly understanding what the official issue is.
I mostly saw some gear at CPGear but no plate carriers, are you doing like germans with a bulletproof vest and a rig on top of it ? |
Overall not bad. I second the point on scrim. It's more accurate without even if you're not wearing the night vision mount. Definetly a set of gloves for patrolling even if it's hot as balls. And a small nit picky point that's more a personal preference: unless you're wearing an undershirt underneath your OTW style shirt I think it's more comfortable to have it tucked into the pant and wearing a belt. I don't know...to me it seems like that would chafe pretty badly afterawhile of walking around. Maybe it's just me.

The dude with the boonie hat and goatee has his own CG634. For some reasons he didn't put it on for the foto...lazy :) Gen 3 OD body armour is all we can have for this moment...cannoy find a material for maeking a repro of Arid ones and sure cannot buy issued one :) Regarding the scrim...it was an airsoft game of period 2006. Guy wanted to make "a palm" on his head as he has seen on some photos :))) Will recommend to remove. PAQ4/PAQ2..we are working on that :p Person in TW is from different photos ;) he is a beginner and still has to collect a lot of stuff... IOW: bad logistics :) Regarding rank insignia...remains of folly. Seen few time the same and did. Needs to be cleaned long time ago. Some slings are to be changed, some are alright...I use soft FN Minimi's sling and want to make one from a paracord Regarding the Pepsi...it was just an airsoft game..and it was what we have received at our "FOB" as a package :) BTW, good notes. I didn't thought about it at that moment :banghead: Good ideas to work on Quote:

I've got a mil-spec cad pat tunic and trouser combo. I believe that when you put rank badges on, you are somewhat mocking the men and women who serve to protect our country everyday. it is stealing their glory, and I don't agree with that. If you wear your kit and a forces member can plainly see that you are not in the cf, that's ok by me. (case in point, the pre-cadpat OD BDUs) And there is a difference between wearing it because you are proud of your country, and wearing it because you want people to think you are something you're not. just thought I'd put my two cents in. oh and by the way, my uniform is made by "CAMP/COMP" lol <- not sure how it's spelled. :wink:

Great effort guys. Here's a couple of more pics from my tour to give you guys some more ideas. The sling in the first picture I'm using is home made. I like prefered the one point that I could loop around my body.
|
What is the scope on your C7a2? Is that an Elcan SpecterDR?
|
Yes, that's a spectre

the new rig is supposed to be issued to troops overseas for trials sometime during 1-10 is what ive been hearin from guys who are over there right now.
|
Ok so if I understand the regular grunt (no offense guys) is issued with an official LBE but is still free to use his/her own PC as long as it is approved ?
I think I saw some Eagle, Tactical Tailor, CPGear and HSGI stuff on pictures. |

The only thing missing are integrated elbow protection.
Have some on my Crye, I would not remove them for anything. Also noticed the C9 oriented toward the tanks has an M4 stock adapter. You have that on all C9 or is that a personnal custom ? |
All the C9A2's have collapsible stocks, prior to this though there were mods like cutting the A1 stock shorter and getting collapsible stocks fitted.
|
Other question an firearms, I know you guys got rid of thermhold mags a while back but are you going to had KA M5 RAS instead of standard handgard or any other upgrade on regular soldier assault rifle ?
And is there any other difference between C7/8 and M4 or M16A3/4 (I don't know which version it's based on) ? |
I haven't heard anything about KAC's becoming standard issue.
|
I have seen the KAC RAS used in AStan Though..Lots of Pics to support this. You just gotta dig.
Not Sure of this pics context so take it for what its worth. http://www.army.ca/wiki/images/3/36/...atrolwRCMP.jpg |
Yeah, they're mostly private or unit purchased though.
|
gents, do you know is there a sense of using CamelBak Thermobak 3L in 3 Colour Desert or Coyote brown but with CADPAT Arid Hydration cover on it? Have you seen OPs using so way?
|
Haven't seen them used with the cover, but I have seen various different colors of Camelbak used. I use the issued one, but my roomie uses a British one and some guys at work have CB carriers.
|
I have CF issued one in CADPAT TW and Arid hydration cover. Just thinking that TW straps are odd when using with Arid kit, but 3 Colour Desert CamelBak on the back is out of "harmony of Arid" also :)))
|
Everyone over in Afghanistan right now is issued a CADPAT TW Hydration carrier and a 3L Camelbak bladder. They also have the AR Cover. Though some of the guys do have their own stuff, and you can get stuff at the various PX's.

Yup CF issued ballistic lens are made by Revision and not Oakley. By the way mine in Afghanistan (REVISION) saved on of my eye when I got a shrapnel in it.
You are right for the C7 Quote:

Assuming I don't choke on the price, where would I buy an Elcan C79 optical sight?

Thanks Texas

Skelator their are a number of goggles currently in trials, mine is the Revision one you posted but their are smaller ones and more profiled ones currently in the system for trials. I just have the revision ones because of the perscription inserts.

Don't have Oakley anything unless you buy it yourself or people get together and put an order in through that Government Oakley site. The prices are cheaper but it's a bit of a pain in the ass if your doing it just for yourself, and maybe it's just me but I don't feel too comfortable about faxing someone my DND ID.
Kingston just got the new Revision BEW maybe two-three months ago? Until then we still were getting the one with a green frame, no idea what company that was by. Still Revision or no? |

A fragmented jacket ( from a 9mm P+ FMJ pistol round against close steel plates targets) did bounced back into my BEW safety lenses this summer at the range. Not even a scratch. :) P.S. A also use Oakley's M Frame ( strike ), they are good ( vision, resolution, contrast,etc... ) but they scratch easily. A few ejected case into the lenses and they will wear fast. :( |
My CADPAT loadout-FL, USA
I'm a bit of a gearwhore. I had to have the CADPAT when I discovered it. It became my primary camouflage on OPs. In FL most of the games call for ACU, MARPAT, BDU etc., but I wear the CADPAT when I can. Here are some pics of my loadouts. Excuse the bad pics. I threw these together when I came accross this forum.
Standard Kit: Assault kit w/skate helmet http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/q...eltahelmet.jpg Another look usually when it's too hot out. OD hat w/ American flag http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/q...ontracthat.jpg Sniper kit. Homemade Ghillie mane w/ Cadpat balaclava http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/q...dpatsniper.jpg My newest addition. Ghosts skull balaclava from COD:MW2. http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/q...adpatskull.jpg http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/q...mnametapes.jpg |
Cadpat/od
i found a some CADPAT when i was in alberta at an airshow i got a hydration pack a carry pouch and a duffle all for like $100 THERE WAS SOOO MUCH MORE there was a ton of CADPAT and MARPAT(eeew MARPAT) gear there there were drop pouches assault bags hiking bags shirts those bumper stickers support our troops ones it was crazy i say u should go to the wataskawin airshow if your ever in Alberta up by Reddeer :infantry: :D

i love your ghillie tilly XD im making my own any tips??? im making a prone ghillie for woodland

YouTube - Canadian Special Operations Regiment
curious.. why do these OPs in CADPAT Arid pants and top is in TW? any reason for a such mixing of the camo? |
SEALs in Afghanistan do it as well. Marcus Lutrell mentions wearing bdu jacket with dcu pants on an OP. As said earlier your upper body at tree level is green and your lower body appears arrid and it breaks up your profile really well.

Also the Yanks here have 3 types of Cammo, the plain gray, the plain gray with some brown, and the new Mulitcams... hard to tell the difference between a Brit and a Yank now adays lol ~Infidel |
Expanding on Mike's reply about the mixing of 2 colours of tops and bottoms; picture a man moving along seen from a few hundred meters away. The green top blends in with the foliage, and the lighter bottom blends in with the dead fall, or if it's winter you'll just have white bottoms on if you're in evergreens. This works really well.
The Canadian Army has done this for years, not just the SF guys. For the SEALs mixing tops, it's been said that they do this to produce 2 smaller camo'd blobs vs. one big camo'd blob. If you can break up the pattern of the human body in this manner you'll make it harder for your opposition to see there's a person out there. |

Gotta say that Multicam would probably work quite nice here, but I'll stick with the Arid CADPAT lol ~Infidel |

I've tried to mix camo during the training raid last week. Works ;)

slight cross posting from SAW thread but getting my Canadian load out a little bit more true to form.

Did you make a template to engrave the trademarks? If not how did you go about doing it?
|
Nice markings! The real C9 also has several FN Herstal markings on it as well

ugh i got off my CADPAT fix lol im going MARPAT its just easier cuz my new core issues marpat gear instead or CADPAT :/
|
Gotta admit, I really like the C9A1. Only thing you have to do to make it a little more authentic is get the proper hand guards and a rear tactical grip. I know the grip is not 100% required, but I've never seen a C9A1 issued without one.

Personal picture of one of my friends currently in the Sandbox with the R22eR. As it's a personal pic I preferred blurring the faces, but you're not missing on much anyway, except maybe glasses and a few moustaches^^
Also, looks like the new MOLLE carriers to replace tacvests? I asked him what brand/model they are, but I don't know how often he has access to the internets, so I'm not expecting an answer anytime soon. http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/762/imageiem.jpg |

Canadian loadout, almost finish! I only need to change some things (MOLLE Vest, tactical boots, pads,) and almost everything (BDU, helmet, covert, boots, webbing) is issued:
