Romeo-Zero-Alpha Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Hi guys, what are your opinions on a met police inspired loadout? Came across an old ballistic vest cover and a couple of met police patches - inspired me to create a new load out! Do you feel it is okay to use the met police patches if I'm only playing on sites? I have some rubber foam compound so am using that to make dummy ballistic plates, and im sure i hve an old two-way and ear piece somewhere... Also, if any of you have already created a similar loadout, can you please post your pics to give me inspiration! Below are a few pics of the different loadouts I'm going for! Im thinking of going for a less bulky loadout, and am not buying all the belt and leg hosters - ifni can find some Hiatt's cheap, I might get them to attach to the vest. Anyway, any info or ideas appreciated - might make a start tonight =D
Supporters Esoterick Posted July 3, 2015 Supporters Posted July 3, 2015 It should be ok provided you only wear anything that could be construed as police gear onsite. The only other issue would be on the off chance you get pulled over and they think you are impersonating a police officer, even with skirmish receipts etc they may not be too happy about it. As far as loadouts go I think it could be pretty tidy but I wouldn't want the hassle potentially associated with it myself. Romeo-Zero-Alpha 1
Romeo-Zero-Alpha Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 Quick update: I located an old hi-vis bump cap, and added a velcro patch to the front of the cap. The bump shell is removerable so that a foldable cap can also be obtained (thinking of buying a black one too) I've also ordered: x1 flameproof coverall x1 pair of Hiatt speed cuffs 1m meter of hi-vis checkered tape to complete the cap x1 M88 helmet replica x1 SAS style balaclava

I understand what you mean - I'm sure having a print off of this might help my case!
Romeo-Zero-Alpha Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 Also, the patches are not police officer, but police staff?
Airsoft_Mr B Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I know you've already got em but I wouldn't bother with using the patches. Since they're staff it isn't going to fully replicate SO19 and again other people may potentially not like that you're using em. At the very least if you do keep em I would take them off whilst going to the skirmish If you get the look right then you can see what you are replicating without patches
Supporters Esoterick Posted July 4, 2015 Supporters Posted July 4, 2015 Thing is even if they are removable it doesn't get around the issue of you having them on you in some description. I'm not trying to be a killjoy but it's something i'd even go as far as to get in writing from say the maidenhead/slough/windsor/reading police that it's ok to do. It's extremely unlikely but it would be less than ideal for you to have a boot full of RIFs alongside police insignia and other bits and pieces that could make it look like you are trying to impersonate a firearms officer.
MZKaleem Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 this will be my armed police loadout, i'm on a budget you see lol
