Those are legit.

Sweet, I had seen on the Canadian Army site that there were zipper pockets on the brest posket on the ones there and I was afraid I had gotten ripped off. I absolutely love this pattern and want to do as spot on of an impression as I can of CF. I have a CADPAT ARKTIS 1601 is that accptable? I read on the net somewhere that some CF personel bought there own rigs and one dood was talking about the ARKTIS. I still want an issue or replica of an isse rig though. This thread has been a great source of info for my loadout..thanks alot for the help.

Yes I'd say those qualify as being right on. I have a set of fake stuff from CP gear. Generally the fake stuff will be obviously fake, buttons, size tags, velcrow for the name tag and flag on your shoulder would all be good indicators to figure out if it is fake or not, and the rank slip-on flap. My fake stuff actually says Cadpat on it in bold letters lol.

As for the Chest rigs, a lot were buying their own because the tact vest can only hold so much, and lets face it their basic load out was a lot more aggressive than what the tact vest could comfortably handle. There were some that still used the issue tact vest over there, but a majority of the actual combat troops ie the infantry would go over with their own stuff, as well as a few of my arty buddies. Most of the personal vests included more mag pouches, better access to the mags, lots of storage for additional gear like water and more comfort in extreme climates. Some guys just sold their gear to the people coming into the stan rather than taking it home with them after they were done.

Hmmm intresting. Do you know what your MINIMI gunners get issued in the way of rigs? Is it something different than the standard rig?

Ohh.and zeroprime..that is the bodyarmor CF use? Looks fricking awsome. Whatis the name of that and can you tell me where I might be able to get just the shell without ballisitc inserts?

not really a where I got it...they are rare and hard to come by. I just had dumb luck or good timing depending on your point of view.

Zing!!!!!!!

woops misread his name...:)

I've heard mixed reviews about the CP Gear MoFOCR. The guys you know who have them, what's their thoughts on it?

I love my tigertactical custom rig. Can hold 12 armalite mags with magpulls (or6 m14 mags with magpulls), 3 pistol mags, 3 mp5 mags, radio and 2 large utility pouches for random shit. Added onto that is the CP gear hydro system, buttpack and also the ice tactical cadpat molle belt and suspender system so I can attach more shit. Would not change my cadpat rig for anything else.

So my ARKTIS is right on even for a MINIMI gunner then...I beleive it is a C9? I am assumeing the gunner would carry loose ammo in the MAGPOUCHES then? Or possibly 100rnd mag pouches?

Box magazines are the way of the future for the gunner

Okay thanks for the info. I reallt appreciate the help.

As promised..updated vest/carrier pics....also a little custom something my Wife made for me for my upcoming birthday. A Cadpat *Lettered* coaster.

Vest and Carrier first.
Vest can carry 16 AR mags, has two fragmentation grenade pouches (for carrying "Warmonger Special's") a trip pistol mag pouch and an admin pouch. Not shown is the CPgear cadpat hydration tube cover.

That was taken a while back, but yes i am relatively new (only been in for a year) As for issued gear, I don't actually use my issued BDU for airsoft and deffinately not for paintball either.

Wow! You have more streamers coming off you than the Macy Christmas Parade. and pull that drawstring around to the back of your neck then cinch the slider up till it seats in the on knob on the back of your Skull. Fits better, looks better, works better.:D Roll / fold and tape the straps that are set again it's a clean look thing, and you'll reduce drag. Kit looks good and the Lenses seem to fit you well. :cool:
Cheers

i thought you werent allowed to play in your issue gear. even if its issued to you.

Iam not in army...I like issue stuff !

lol...

damn you where'd you get the kneepads...lol..nevermind I dont want to know :D

where do you get that vest? looks awesome

Possibly issued it?

I don't see why it suck to be honest, I like the kevlar vest style that covers entire chest over partial in my opinion. Also all I found for those are like sewn on which is superduper sad when it comes for customizing, espcially most CADPAT vest I like have too many pouches that most people wont use(2 grenade pouch, 2 large pouch, 1 medium) and so few mag pouch (4 single)

isn't the pic one double stack mag pouch with four of em? It shouldn't be a problem compare to people I know in USMC with 16 mags and 6 slots total mag pouch

If your confused what I'm speaking about the vest thing, here "picture worth a thousand words" Napoleon I

my issue gas mask, issue tac vest, and my field knife (store bought)

Btw, i'm not stupid enough to use my issue stuff for airsoft

thats what DPM and Multicam are for haha

I don't think Mike's the only one missing your point...

and nice big fuck off knife Mitch ;) standard purchase for all recruits :D

indeed, its too big to use in garrison tho :(

kinda made my boner for it go away a little

i use the knife for camping, not for ex's

is it me or is there a guy with a beard and a cover that isnt a beret?

edit, whats with hiding your face?

So what?

how does he wear his helmet?

no, when he wore his helmet, he had all everything except the chinstraps taken out, and he just wore the shell overtop of his turban

Those were awesome pics, thanks for the link Mike

Is that gunfighter training in some of the pics?

Awesome,we start Gunfighter next tuesday. I'm looking forward to that :D

Thank you, and yea I definatley agree that things always get more interesting with a bigger budget and of course deployment.There's about ten guys from our Rgt deploying. I've been looking forward to this program for a while..i'll make sure to wear some hot pink earmuffs!

Sweet.
Take care when your out there.

Flashlight is a little off cuz I was using gun tape lol

Me after getting issued my C7A2. Maybe I'll be nice and add a few more after I get back from the field next week. Oh and sorry for the crappy quality it was taken with my cell and not my camera
http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j4...8601_12862.jpg

I,m suprised for a navy guy , that your holding that C-7 from the right end.LOL

hahahaha hey now I'm pretty good with that damn thing, and find out just how good I am on the range next week.

I got out in 92 .We just had iron sites on the C-7

I get stuck with an A1 in a couple weeks for my field excercises and for grad. one upside it has over the A2 is it is quite a bit lighter

They don,t fit very well in Armoured vehicals

that too

its not that bad, my brother has a C9.

He's talking about vehicle crews. Damn you have an opinion on everything you have no first hand knowledge about.

Thanks Ex!

yes well, he's in the 12e RBC, he's stuck in the back with his C9 and all the fumes of the vehicle he's in.

so i do know a little of what i post on here.

Question re: Issued TV

Can it tote the 200rnd Plastic box mags for a C9? Or just the 100rnd cloth ones?

The 200 Rd boxes will fit and the pouches were designed for that purpose. You can carry on the left or right or both as they issue interchangeable pouches for each side. You switch out from the canteen pouch.

MD

Ohh, so it swaps out in place of the canteen pouches right? Thanks for the info.

I finally have my loadout almost complete, except for the CADPAT camelback I have on order from the local surpus store and a CADPAT double pistol mag pouch that's on the way. Can't say my loadout is authentic CF, but it's CADPAT.

Frontenac pants
Issue Gen 1 CADPAT shirt
Issue (surplused) CF helmet with CADPAT cover
CF Gortex boots
CADPAT drop leg holster
CADPAT drop leg dump pouch
CADPAT M4 tac vest (yeah, it's cheap, but gotta start somewhere, right?)
CADPAT belt
OD knee pads (my one piece of non-CADPAT kit - not seen in this pic)

http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/phot...85649_5424.jpg

Yes, the pic is a very bad Photoshop edit of me superimposed on a pic from Afghanistan...

And here's another one without the tac vest and dump pouch. Had an ABS PASGT helmet at the time.

http://photos-452.ll.facebook.com/ph...083540_769.jpg

i saw a surplus at a surplus nearby that has a copy of the canadian vest, if you ever wanted one :D, nice look to your gear thought

I've had the chance to inspect the issue CF vest and I can't say I like it much. Not enough mag pouches for my liking. There was a well used one at the local surplus store a couple of months ago that I almost bought, but decided against it. This one seemed to suit my needs for airsoft quite well. But it all looks good and seems to work fine, so that's what matters most to me in the end. I've got the CF look more or less, and that's what I care about.

ya, just bringing it up, didnt know if you where looking for one, good setup either way, and thats what its about, using what works

Interested in some CADPAT kneepads? :P

I was looking for CADPAT. I got black ones uber-cheap and painted them OD. I will eventually go for CADPAT too. Just not quite yet. I'd like to use what I have at least once. :P

For sure. Pretty good setup by the way; I know CADPAT stuff can be pretty hard to come by sometimes.

ill make my humble contribution. heres an old pic of when i was building a can loadout. the glock was the first gun and only gun i had at the time

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...av/canload.jpg

hey guys...im a little mixed up right now...is it alright for someone in the armed forces to play at a game with his gear?

No. But why you would use the issued tac vest is beyond me... Kinda lacking in the "mag storage department".

Do our soldiers not need many magazies?

Decided to do some basement commando posing seeing nothing else to do so here's my cadpat tw dm/sniper setup

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l7...3/S2500095.jpg

Ignore the surroundings. It's in an unused kitched downstairs that is mostly where i store my booze.

OH GOD ITS SO OLD.
I should bust out my 'new' things for a picture.
Oh wait, I already did!
http://photos-j.ak.facebook.com/phot...99097_5357.jpg

Helmet is White Knights.


http://photos-p.ak.facebook.com/phot...62335_2555.jpg
Yes, I know its a M1 Helmet, but its my baby.

it all depends, my issued vest does well when i need something that looks pritty on a parade square! other then that it's FKING useless!!!

not enough room for mags room for mags total of 4 mag pouches on vest, not enough room for belt ammo or 40mm grenades no storage room atal to top it off. most guys that go over to Afganistan in my unit have bought chest rigs like these or that exact model and the cf is allowing them to be used overseas because you require a minimum of 10 mag's, and deppending on mission or situation depends on what ammo you may expel but you alwase want enough, my friends have been in fire fights where they had 16 mags and they were still speed loading mags in battle!
he was at the front of OP Medusa

1) https://dstactical.com/product_info....roducts_id=757

2) https://dstactical.com/product_info....roducts_id=758

to face facts the CF Tac Vest is pritty, but not effctive in combat!
if your in a firefight and you gotta dig in your pack for other mags or ammo you are renderd combat inefective for that time and make a pritty target!!

Speaking for myself only i think its SHIT, and i know others who will agree but diffiernt people have different opinions.

~Ghost~

dude...why would you take a picture of a plant and then post it on ASC ?

my team :)

Just wanted to add a photo of my team here in Winnipeg, MB. We call our selves the 6th Combat Battle Group (6CBG). It is a shot from last season, so there are only 15 of us in the photo (2 X 6-man infantry sections and an HQ Detatchment). We had 7 additional members that couldn't make it out that OP. This year we are over 30. Finally got my short platoon. :)

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t.../Awardshot.jpg

Ugh...American berets :P

Lookin good though, makes me want to do an old CScotts impression with my DPM smock.

Actually all our headgear comes direct from Logistics-Unicorp. I just have to teach all the new guys how to properly form and wear them. All of our gear is 100% Canadian.

Cap bagdes too? They look like those yank shields that hold rank...

We made them ourselves. Instead of using the Canadian Airborne Regiment cap badges (I am the only member who served) we made a sky blue shield and used a pegasus pin as our unit insignia. We use a locally manufactured SSF patch though.

Photo of myself last year at Operation Hammerstrike II at Copehill Down, Salisbury. Went for a full CF impression, myself and 4 others in Northern Ireland are currently using CADPAT gear as a loadout. Tacvest will soon be "updated" with a few extra bits, namely a small E & E pack and a few extra mag pouches.

BDUs etc are all reproduction. It's very costly and hard to get ANY CADPAT gear over here, so the Frontenac after-market BDUs are pretty much all that are available. Planning on some DZ Tac BDUs sooner rather than later however.

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/1...loadouthh5.png

Your bottom string is showing, you gotta tie that shit up!

NI eh? So you'd know Drake then right?

Anyway, nice looking kit, send a PM to Army Issue on these boards for any CADPAT needs ;)

I know him very well, very good friend of mine! He is also a fellow CADPAT user and abuser!


Oops, need to censor that string. >_>

remove it. . . tis useless and serves no purpose. . . trust me, you will feel much better lol. . . unless in the repro it does somethign lol

~Grimm

x2 The RSM is the only reason to use the bottom drawstring on the shirt. ;)

Now removed! Updated pics will be up after my next airsoft game whereby there will be a full squad of us in CADPAT goodness.

Noted a chap a few pages back mentioning the tiger tactical plate carriers, just to confirm they are top notch quality. Got one a while back. It's a little bulky for my current loadout (and im bulky enough) but it's a solid carrier, and will fit most replica SAPI plates.

a picture from Sundays scrim over here in Manitoba.
my teams new Arid uniforms came in recently, still no sign on our updated arid badges though :(

Using Arid on the field was a blast. standing up, we stuck out pretty clearly, but once we hit the ground, players had a Very hard time spotting us! Perfect for early and late season we're finding.

The molle attachments that CPgear sells which replace the Canteen/C9 pouches should be ordered real soon.

what other mods did you do to yours beyond the attachments just mentioned?

thanks for the info.
whats IFAK stand for ?

-MikeL-, do you find the tacvest mods add to the practicality of the vest without sacrificing too much maneuverability?

the tacvest is practical? http://airsoftcanada.com/images/smil..._confused2.gif

Allow me to re-phrase.


How does it add to the *limited* practicality of the tacvest?

mike what kind of light is that on the C7? is it just an M3 with a pressure switch/cover?

Hey Mike, did they care about your non issued kit? I'm just asking because im planning on going over to the Stan after im done college, (provided we are still there, bloody NDP lol) and well, ya dont want to take the issued TV over, 'cause. . . well need I explain lol.

~Grimm

how does the M3 attach to the handguard? there a rail on there?

EDIT!: nvm...tri rail =P

Smart cookie ;)

Mike: That C-7 body kit is pretty good. You going to be using it at airsoft games when you get back? :P

(I kid, I kid)

2008-04-13 games in Hong Kong

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...06326Large.jpg

It's crazy to think that people in Hong Kong would dress up like Canadian Soldiers. I actually think that is pretty awesome.

Ahh..the fabled JTF2 chest rig, referred to on the label as a "bra".:D

I just noticed that those even look like the issued Ballistics. I see the case on your left shoulder. Just a warning, the plastic buckle on that case is super weak and it will get knocked off eventually. So you had better hope that when it does you or someone else notices it or else it's gone.

STRINGS!!!!!
