It's a piece of shit to people who don't take care of their rifle, and fail to understand why banging the barrel on shit fucks up the accuracy of the laser it emits.Quote:

I was an aggressor for a year once upon a time, and we offered the students/targets every opportunity to use our rifles versus theirs. Hell, we even collected all the students weapons during a 4 hour break, and I personally re-zero'd every single weapon. (Re-Zeroing involves the following: a barrel based laser dots a target, you bring the iron-signts in line with that; then you zero in the laser)
During the next engagement, the targets that took our advice to heart (take care of your fucking weapon) did very well; it was the "I don't give a fuck, this is bullshit" students who fucked their accurate setups up. At a range of less than 100M, there's really no need for personal zeroing on ironsights with MILES gear.
Through the majority of complaints we received regarding MILES gear, I would say 9/10 times, it was the practices of the student. Things such as:
1. Not cleaning their weapon. They're firing blanks. Blanks are messy. Clean that shit.
2. Not taking care of their magazines. Sand+blanks in mag=jams that SPORTS won't fix.
3. Over-Lubricating their weapon. Blanks+CLP=Mud.
4. Banging their weapon on shit and knocking the laser out of alignment.
5. Getting over-excited and yanking on the trigger.
6. Not cleaning the front lasing box.
7. Not turning the key; not checking the batteries.
8. Fucking off when provided the chance to re-zero their weapon.
9. Banging on the adjustment screws to somehow magically "snap" the lenses into a correct posture.
10. Actual fault with the Miles Gear that required removal from the weapon. Sometimes, just sometimes, the students weapon would break as well.
I liked Miles Gear faults, and complaints, because I was a complete cockbag. I would take their weapon back to camp, swap it out for one of ours (sometimes I'd even provide them my own weapon)... fix their shit, re-zero it, then use it on the next scenario and shoot the student with their own working weapon... then hand it back to them while they were toning on the ground with their helmet off, just to drive the point home to them.
I would also do the dick maneuver whereby we (the aggressors) "lost" one of our magazines, and when students would come up with "Oh, hey, is this yours?" I'd flip it upside down, smack it into my hand, show them all the fucking sand and shit that came out, say "NOPE, we don't treat ours that way" and hand it back to them, then leave.
Like I said, the students that "got it" during convoy training usually were doing pretty fucking awesome during the FTX, and quite a few of those were approached by us to join the aggressor squad, simply because they had a head on their fucking shoulders. The ones that didn't get it; or didn't give a shit were usually the ones who consistently cried out that life was unfair, or that we were cheating.
So yeah, MILES Gear: Much better than being shot at with actual projectiles; great training tool; works great IF you take care of it.

lol pads even with paintball you can go without durning the summer. (but never without a cup+mask) just make sure to use good paint that breaks. Winter its not going to matter how good the paint is sometimes it wont break just slap on x3 layers and your good and mabye a chest protector.
Never had problems with draxxus frostbites even with stock cyclone and flatline (that combination rips apart most balls) from +5 to -20.
M2 is so ancient you could probably scale it for .05 in your garage.
Come on now, surely you of all people could understand the continued use of an ancient firearm design.
As long as it's adequate.Quote:

There are no desings that are as light/reliable/cheap and as functional at the same time.
M2, however, is silly heavy and requires alot of maintenance. Especially lubrication.
Also, on topic of old machine guns:

Long way from there indeed.

Though Kord is more of an uprade combined with the dissolution that left NSV factory in Kazakhstan.
Reference MILES, never done it with the full scale Brit version (TES, heard lots of good and bad about it) but did a couple of sessions in a LLUST (Low Level Urban Skills Training) house a while back. Demagnetise your rifle and magazines, strap a sensor to a boot, a shoulder and your rifle. Fake grenades etc, then you pile into a house with a couple of enemy and get a debrief with everyone's movements on a screen.
A figure given to me was that even at the best of times you can expect 20+% casualties per day doing FISH+CHIPS against a proper enemy and I can quite happily believe that (and probably half of those will be friendly fire).
Sorry, can't take that serious.Quote:

And so is HARM~Quote:
