there's pics of them using glocks, USP's, etc

doesn't really matter

[YCheez]

My dad knows a couple of Spetz guys. Never stand in front of them with a sharp object. Ever.

[ossumsauce]

I don't really know if i trust this guy. With his combined usage of AK 74U and incorrect knowledge of who gets what weapons, i think he's just shitting. If he can prove it, that's fine, but...

[YCheez]

Okay, how should I prove it? My dad still has his shoulder flash and id. Ill try to get a pic.

[Dark Descent]

Honestly, you could probably just correct his memory by looking up the rifles we mentions and having him pick which one he was issued. I'm curious what he had now.

[Kill001]

Just ask the branch, and division and year so we can cross-reference it with available materials

[YCheez]

Okay Ill try. Hes not too open with this kind of stuff though so if all else fails I'll take a pic of his shoulder flash and id and black out personal info. Ill try to get this stuff out of him during the weekend when he isn't working.

My dad was a BMP commander in the Red Army and hes gonna help me make a loadout that perfectly replicates the stuff he was issued. I already have the CM040 that looks very similar to the AK-74U he was issued. Pretty awesome stuff.

YCheez posted:

No he was issued AK-74Us. It had a long barrel with a skeleton stock. He was a reserve officer and a commander, so he was issued a longer barrel version. The paratroopers got the AKS-74U

you're also most likely confusing the firearm names

this is an AKS-74:



this is an AKS-74U



this is an AK-74U (does NOT exist in real life and only in airsoft form)

Going by CoD logic, isn't the AK-74u a Beta Spets and not that thing?

[Kill001]

that is a beta spets

look it up

[the_killer24]

the ak-74u takes many forms but all are equally as bad

know your enemy

stay vigilant

When I think of a Beta Spets I always think of it as having a rail on the bottom of the handguard and not that weird grip.

it's generally all the super stubby AK47s with AKS74U flash hider, synthetic furniture, and shitty rails

also proof that it's an BS: http://www.evike.com/product_info.ph...ducts_id=33636

Not just a Beta Spets, it's a STAR RAINBOW COMPANY Beta Spets.

[Kill001]

Also, the main one I believe CoD4 based it off of is the JG Beta-F

which is pretty much an Beta Spets with the underfolding stock

[YCheez]

Okay I dun goofed. It was the AKS-74. Long barrel skeleton folding stock. Plasticky handguard according to him. You may now call me a CoD kiddie.

[Dark Descent]

I want one with the underfolding stock and wood furniture.

And then I'd try to make it into one of those guns with the insane rates of fire that aren't fun for people on the other side.

plasticky harndguard?

most likely the plum handguard version:



which tantal.kalashnikov.guns.ru reports:

The reinforced polyamide "plum" magazine (first reported by Peter Kokalis in 1982) became sporadically issued at this time

[YCheez]

I just want one of those skeleton stocks because AKs look awesome imo without a stock. Blind fire all day erry day.

Edit: seems like his description. I can't talk to him now because hes tired. Ill try to get some info of his unit from his ID. This ID is actually from his time cleaning up at chernobyl. He was a firetruck commander, 4 units under his direction. His units job was to hose down trees, power lines, and anything that was standing up within 15-20 km outside the reactor. He never saw the actual plant.

[Kill001]

you should dual wield aks like me instead of blindfiring like some insurgent

If its any help my dads shoulder flash has a thin red stripe through it and two stars at the end. Similar to this (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...oviet_Army.svg) but instead of textured gold its dark green, no red borders, rectangular, and brass stars.

kill teach me how to tourniquet

[Kill001]

1. start off on the skinny part of the stock and leave a bit of excess tourniquet so you can tuck it in later

2. wrap round and round (be sure you're holding on to the tourniquet on the side you started with so it doesn't unwravel)

3. once you have a little bit of tourniquet left, loop the buttoned tourniquet end inside the stock and tuck in buttons between the tourniquet wrap as shown in my picture

4. tuck in the loose other loose end

you are done!

-The excess length of tourniquet and whatnot takes a couple tries before you get it right so don't feel bad if you're not getting it

-Make sure the tourniquet is wrapped around the stock firmly but not too tight or else you'll have a hard time tucking in the ends

-Since the material is rubber it sits quite well despite just tucking in the ends

-Tourniquets wrapped like this are designed to be removed quickly in case of emergencies so no need to wrap it super tight and put the buttons through the other ends (in some cases bandages are stuffed into the stock between the tourniquets)

Edited:

hope that helps

Edited:

also I've seen some pretty damn messy tourniquets in real life pictures but so it won't be ~inaccurate~ or anything if yours is messy, I just prefer to keep mine nice and neat

Yep, pretty much. The green is slightly darker and there aren't any patterns, but that's pretty much it.

Thanks, i'd prefer to keep mine neat aswell. It doesn't sit right with me if it doesn't look neat. It doesn't fit my personality but i like everything to look tidy on a gun unless i'm going for a weathered look. (stalker/fallout/etc)
