Cool pic
 Here's another Airsofter and a buddy dressed up as an Iraqi. It's amazing the lengths these guys will go to to make a pic look legit

Aren't those Spring guns pretty loud? Or is it the electric motor in them that whines really loud.  WIZZO |

It's PRI. Here's a hint, the SPR uses a PRI rail system. Why don't you go ask Adco about that one? I'm sure they can tell you. That weapon is an M4. Never seen a real M4 with a PRI tube. Their gear looks clean and new because they probably JUST GOT THERE when they took the pics. Objection! Speculation! How many airsofters carry chemlights? How about earplugs? That's the beauty of Airsoft! You can carry things just so look like the real thing without having any use for them. |

Check the begining of this thread. It's from militaryphotos.net. There are some doubts about the authenticity of these guys from that thread. That is why I'm asking the experts here. |

Dude, You asked what kinf a FF tube does the guy on the far right have. You've been told at least 3 times. It's a PRI tube. The gun he has is a Mark 1 Mod 0 SPR.  Why is that so hard to understand? I am however having my doubts about their authenticity but if it is Airsoft, they spent a lot of mulla on their gear because even their radios look real. And if it is airsoft, then he has a clone of a Mark 1 Mod 0 SPR.....are you getting the pattern? Bomber PS right from ADCO's forum on the Industry Section:

I know a big motherfucking Apache that would be pretty upset if you accused him of being a model, he does look like he uses hair gel though.  . I use 20-rounders because when I drop my bipod to it's lowest setting the full-sized magazine restricts the elevation of my weapon. I carry about four on my rig at any given time. |

TO ALL ARMCHAIR COMMANDOS!
The photos are real. The guys are from 10th SFG. Many SOF INCLUDING FR Marines(oh my god!) have "Team" patches that they wear somewhere on themselves. They look clean probably because they just arrived in country. And yes, many SOF platoons take pictures together...... Tier 1 units also(oh the horror!). |

I made an assessment based on information given to me by guys I served at 1st Rgr Bn with who are now in Grp, and either in-country, or just back. I don;t KNOW that they are Airsoft or Team guys. I don;t care. If they are Team guys, more power to them, although posting their pics on the web, even with the psuedo covert face blackout kind of goes against the grain of "quiet Professionals." My Group time being limited to peacetime in a NAtional Guard SF unit, I don't know, maybe the AD guys had/have a different standard to maintain as far as being quiet. I know that my team SGT and company SGM would have kicked a mudhole in my ass if I'd ever shown up wth one of those high speed patches on my arm, and both were AD SF VN, Grenada, Panama, and GW vets. If they ARE real, I'd have to assume they were doing either Strategic Reconnaissance or Unconventional Warfare missions. Direct-Action and Foreign Internal Defense missions would mandate being seen by the powers that be on a relatively regular basis. I do not imagine that, with the reorganization of the Iraqi army and Iraqi Police forces, there is much of an UW mission anymore. But, what do I know? O2Overlander.....I don;t know you, and you don;t know me, and I wasn;t trying to start pissing contest, nor am I now. In seven years of AD though, I spent damn near as much time OCONUS as CONUS, and I haven;t lived in my homestate in 11 years. If you know some of the guys in the pics, more power to you, but calling someone a poseur or wannabe, based on the fact that they disagree with you is probably uncalled for. RLTW |

I'm not going to make a judgement real or fake, but I'll say this, my spidey sense went off when I say this picture initially.
So if they are real, they've done a damn good job of taking a picture that makes them look like an airsoft team.

It's standard to have your picture taken here, sometimes you find yourself scrambling to find one to put on display at a memorial. A lot of teams make it an SOP for that reason. |

Chill out dude, at what point did I ever address anyone specifically in this thread? But I stand behind my comments. If you've never played and don't have any idea what you're talking about then don't comment like you know what you're talking about because you just end up looking like a douche bag to those of us who have been there. BTW, I don't know any of the individuals in these pics but I have enough common sense to not accuse them of being airsofters, lol. Again, I'm not attacking you personally or anyone else for disagreeing I just think the comments and assumptions by those of you questioning these guys authenticity is fucking hilarious.

agreed but in all seriouseness, what I think some here are missing is that these guys more then likely did not submit these pics themselves. They were obviousely hamming it up for the camera in a couple pics that were more then likely meant for personal souveniers to send back to family and friends. Someone else got ahold of them (possibly off the server at base where they downloaded them from the digital cam) and then submitted them to that website linked to. Think outside of the box guys. At the end of the day, regardless of your job everybody fucks off, these pics are an example of that. Remeber the SEAL team pics that got out during the abuse scandal. It was one of the operators wives that had the pics saved to an online picture storage website and they got out. Shit happens, I expect these guys would have preferred their faces were blacked out moreso as well.

 So you are saying that these 2 in this pic, are Airsofters? Someone needs to tell Guns and Ammo, cause on page 50 in the Book of the AR-15 that G&A put out last month, left side of the page, bottom pic, is that same photo, credited to Sgt. Johnson, U.S. Army, DoD. Now let's look at this- As a person that builds models and uses a airbrush alot, I tend to notice uniformed paint jobs. Look at the paint jobs on the SAW, the SPR and the M4s in the lower pic. Look at the brown stripes and the uniformed sand color...that's some damn good painting..even if they had time at home, which they might have, before being deployed. The lines are almost crisp, crisp like a airbrush, not from a can of Krylon like this pic- That is the kind of hodge-podge paint job from a can that I would expect from a soldier.... I'm not saying that those guys are fakes, but they are just really clean and just a tad almost "GQ" looking.. |
