Weapon Customization

[vonGarvin]

Do you guys mean this by "gangster grip"?

This fine looking infantry officer is sporting the latest in Mac Daddy grips, complete with Gangsta Glasses.  The gloves are...ok.  I can't go on.

The ELCAN in this situation was invaluable, as it allowed me to better pick out targets.  The ranges were in excess of 200 metres, and a "red dot" wouldn't have helped in the slightest.

There are other sights out there that combine magnification and the CQB option in one sight.  But if it's not authorised, then forget about it.

There was an Infantry Officer in that photo? All I saw was a LEO 2A6M. Tanks rock.

Eta: Does this come with a forward grip as well?....Giggity.

Respected members, I know this question comes up on occasion and it is irritating. We tend to then treat the poor noob as a source of entertainement and ridicule.

Pte Pearce, let me talk to you gear whore to gear whore:

When I joined and was just a mass of eagerness barely contained by my uniform someone steered me in the right direction and instilled the following priorities:
1- Mindset. (Read. Find the best warriors and leaders you can find and LISTEN to them.)
2- Training. (Show up, LISTEN, be your own worst critic, strive to find your every flaw and overcome them. Be humble)
3- Tactics. (Be careful who you listen too. There are some snake oil sellers out there. For now, follow the TTPs and drills your regiment is teaching.)
4- Gear. (I advise against buying anything for now. Look at what others are using. Research the internet. Avoid anything airsoft related. Go on Canadian Gun Nutz for some insight on firearms.)

If weapon mods is what really gets you going, I have some bad news. It will be years before you can do any, if at all. Weapon mods can happen, I get away with a few. But it all depends on the culture of your regiment, how much credibility you have and your rank to a certain extent.

Look at this way, weapon mods make you "feel cool" (and I am not saying that is not important ) but being a respected soldier/leader is way cooler.

Just my 2 cents.

Can I bling my tank?

Only if you are from 5 Bde. I have seen some very stupid images that their CoC allowed to be painted on the sides of A veh that were used for their work ups. Then these vehs require to be repainted, probably at the gaining units cost in man hours and materials.

Thanks guys, Yes like that fine infantry officer. the leo was quite nice but I'm still infantry at heart, thanks for not completely trashing my first real thread i just thought that this would be one of the best places to ask, better to ask and learn here then to learn the hard way and possably end up religious Thank you for your 4 points as well, ill have to keep them in mind and try to remember that LCF is not just half the battle, but its the drills and training that make the dif.

so its only the Americans who can change stuff up eh.

Nope - they don't do it either.  My experience serving with members of their military is that they are even more anal than us.  I'm living that dream right now.

As an aside....do you really wanna end up looking like this?

(shudder)

Nobody deserves that.....
