    Hi,

    I'm wondering what other themed teams there are out there? For instance, we do a modern Russian VDV impression but what other teams are out there doing this kind of thing?

    EDIT: To avoid confusion this includes military/paramilitary impression, historical, TV show, film or video game impressions.

    Not that many. Most see camp as a team strip, but as airsoft in ireland matures we should see more pop up

    You do not have to wait to join such a team , we need people to create theme groups are not about competion so numbers are not that important , 3 or 4 guys interested in the same area is all you need:)

    but I would not worry turn up to a site in an accurate impression and you will atract attention from people with the same interests

    Sorry to spam a little bit, but I'm also based in Finglas. I do not have a car or any available transport at the moment, so I'm looking for somebody to go with, to any of the airsoft sites.

    For that kind of stuff you'd better off with posting in the Teams Recruitment Thread, just to save clutter in this thread. :)

    Lets just keep this to finding out about teams doing themes! I'd love to see some teams doing a proper USMC/USAA loadout.

    That would be AWESOME! D:

    Ever since I played Battlefield 2 on the PS2 I've always had a thing for the Type-95. They're dithered camo is also really sweet but impossible to get... If you find any, be sure to let me know, m'kay? ;)

    EDIT: I think you should totally set one up. You can get Type-97s that take STANAG mags but they're a bit pricey...

    why thank you very much!
    i will keep in mind to notify you, pretty sure i'v seen a few on ebay, although it is near impossible to find and EXPENSIVE!

    in airsoft i believe the type-95 take stanag mags too, i think!
    But yes, im very interested to go down that road, but being in a team in the moment and all :p probably mess around with my other chinese friends or somthing with it. btw remember my mate you were talking to at hell fire? hes not playing anymore lol.

    PLA and your russian themed team would be a nice combo team IMO.

    Nope! The 95 takes some weird 5.8mm round and super curved mags.

    Yeah, you know how chummy the PLA and Russian Armed Forces have got these days! ;)

    PMed, BTW...

    i believe your all right, there are a number of different versions as far as im aware of the type 95 running different calibres, all pointless for airsoft as the the cosmetic difference would be the mags and the carver mags are not available

    My team were thinking of being 'German Themed/Russian theme' as most of us have either H&K replica's or Kalashnikov variants. The sniper guy has a L96... But then it breaks a little as one of the two DMR's has a M-14, the other a Steyr AUG. But the majority are either AK/G36/MP5. THere is, IITC, one or two other 'oddball weapons' in there. So we also considered a 'resistance theme' - resistance/freedom fighters never REALLY have 'standard kit', no?

    Well, how many teams are there out there who wear Flecktarn and use G36s? That would be cool to see.

    Now to find some photos of german military to base my loadout upon - I think it is a good excuse to buy that USP :D

    It's an excellent camo. Especially for Ireland.

    I think JG make G36s with integrated scopes. I used one before and they're pretty cool. No idea about USPs though. :D

    In relation to Berget there will be some team forming south with multicam (due to Berget restrictions) and diverse guns that takes M4-mags, including M4s, Masada, Tavor and M249. Snipers will use L96 and possibly VSR. Not sure if it comes in as a 'themed' team, but at least it'll look good :P

    Not in the slightest... This really isn't the place for it. If it's to do with Berget, please keep it in a thread about Berget.

    Then perhaps asking for german themed rather than flecktarn wearing teams would have been a better question.

    This thread is about teams that follow a theme. Whether that be country, history, TV show or movie. I thought it would have been a given.
