My extremely hard attempt to make a FNH SCAR-L look cool…. FNH you guys aren’t helping… but I half succeeded 

Tactical overkill mate. Try a CQC variant

Ya think? Isn't the SCAR-L a cool gun to begin with? Either way, the design isn't very well thought out. The MBUS can't flip up because you have the Trijicon in the way. A VTG and a MagWell grip are redundant, as well as having a PEQ box and a flashlight. 

As the Cap said, tactical overkill. Which, in this case, is really bad.

Unless you have a decked-out scar, remember,

Old Things Still Work

This is an airsoft shoot, with a beautiful looking KJ Works 1911 and a Marushin M1 Garand Tanker. Great guns looking better than ever.

Until I get to play with a 1911, remember,

Take a moment and say thanks. You'd say it to a normal person battling cancer, so why not to a man that has changed the world. 

I will not post the latest picture of him. You can go find it yourselves. I don't want to see it, but I already have. It's not a matter of morals, I post pictures of guns for god's sake. I'm just being selfish.

As with most of my somber posts, no sign off this time.

For my hundredth post, I had to find a gun that fit such an occasion. 

And I settled on the M16, the iconic good guy gun.

This is just really cool. 

A look not only into the Canadian who used to hold the world's longest sniper kill, but also into how they are trained.

My MultiCam Stuff

Finally, I get to actually write something.

My order from OpticsPlanet, as well as MilSpec Monkey, just arrived. So I figured, instead of video taping me taking apart boxes and opening bags, I took pictures of all the good stuff. So, without further adieu, here we go.

The Box

Not much to see here, other than a cardboard box and my wonderful ZT0400 knife sitting on top.

The MilSpec Monkey Envelope

I just want to make this clear. I love MilSpec Monkey. They have awesome stuff, and for reasons explained below, he is just a generally awesome guy. And it's always sent USPS priority. 

The Contents of the Milspec Monkey Envelope

This is the first patch in the set, my Canadian flag patch. I put it up against my MultiCam gear so you can see what the MultiCam style of Milspec Monkey blends in with original Crye Pattern. 

The Contents of the Milspec Monkey Envelope - 2

This is my favourite patch of the bunch. The Hadji Don't Surf patch in MultiCam. If you didn't watch Apocalypse Now!, then you wouldn't get it. But it's still insulting, none the less.

The Contents of the Milspec Monkey Envelope - 3

This patch isn't for me, though I like it none the less. It's a gift for someone at airsoft that likes to run everything. HMFIC stands for Head MoFo In Charge. It's in UCP because he runs an ACU load out, if you're picking up on that. 

The Contents of the Milspec Monkey Envelope - 4

These aren't patches at all, nor are they made by that military DJ. They are ITW TacLinks, or as I like to put it, big-ass polymer carabiner. They also supposedly have IR reducing technology and other stuff. I just bought them because I needed carabiners, and they look awesome.

What the Patches Look Like

Also should have mentioned, he threw in a free U.S Flag PVC patch. Which was totally awesome of him.

The Milspec Monkey Order Overview

My OpticsPlanet Order

The SpecOps Brand Better BDU Belt in Coyote

The SpecOps Better BDU belt. An awesome belt without any metal or a clasp. Really cool and all Made in the USA. 

Tactical Assault Gear Dump Pouch

The TAG Dump Pouch. A compact dump pouch that attaches to my belt. Made in the USA by the same guys who made my vest.

The Tactical Assault Gear MBITR Pouch

No, I don't have a radio for airsoft. I bought it mainly to emulate a picture that I was building off of, as well as to store any snacks that I might bring with me to the game.

Blackhawk! Shemagh in Tan/Black

This piece of kit is the one that surprised me most. The one item that I ordered from the most reputable tactical gear manufacturer, Blackhawk!, is the only one on my list that was not made in the USA. Peculiar. 

And That's All Folks!

For now at least.

Until I get home and unbox my order from SKD Tac, remember,

Overkill is Underrated.

A Pee-Wee airsoft match.

Like someone put it, it reminds me of the grunts from Halo.

There's a reason they call it the commando.

Another Belated Shout-Out

First off, apologies.

I have just learned why I haven't been getting notifications from tumblr. Gmail, for whatever reason, thought they were spam and insisted on sending them to my spam folder. So I didn't catch it when these two great leaders of the world, 

FuckItShitHappens15 and AztecAirsoft!

Welcome, both of you, to The Marshall Project.

Remember that, when you too join,

Overkill is Underrated.
