The boy's Desert Loadout.

[Dan Robinson]

Have to say I was pretty impressed with his effort here.  Bought himself an L85, and all the kit, not sure of the suitability of him sewing on some badges though. 

 

 

 

He's getting a SUSAT scope at Christmas to round it off.

The Desert DPM works exceptionally well with the fallen foliage at this time of year

That's what I told him when he was moaning, as only teenagers do.  He does like his DPM stuff though.

Nobody* is going to care that a child is wearing badges, particularly of an operation that ended 8 years ago 

 

 

* Or nobody who’s opinion counts

 

Badges are a bit of a topic in airsoft, but the issue is walting/making false claims.

Airsoft is a hobby/game that has a high level of dressing up - of which ‘realism’ is the justification for RIFs.

If people get too vocal about the dressing up part being ‘too realistic’ then they are also calling for the revocation of the skirmishers RIF Defence 

 

I had a lovely pair of very comfortable desert trousers and would often wear them in any environment.

Along with any shirt or temperate DOM shirt

 

I was often told how bad my ‘camouflage’ was and that I would stand out, and my response was about the level of effectiveness/ineffectiveness of a camouflage pattern on its own.  It was more dependent on what I was doing 

Later in the day I would get complimented on how well my desert legs disappeared against the ground (usually dirt) and my upper against bushes - Still a no from me, they couldn't see that I’ve disappeared if I’ve disappeared.  They could see me because I was running across the open ground 

 

Tell him to put his arm band on the right way up next time

I think you're right - it's only the operational specific badges that made me think; but as you said he's only a kid, so stolen valour isn't really a thing for him.
