Man, your taste in gear, play style, music, alcohol.. all top notch!

I know it's quite randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?

@Ismael Noah thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it !!

@Gatlin Aries Happy to help =)

No joke, i had no idea what a sock should be, until i bought darn tough merino wool socks. I bought a bunch of the lightweight thin ones and i don't think i'll ever buy any other kind of sock again. I wear them almost every day. As i wear out my junk cotton socks, they'll be replaced by merino wool, even for daily use. Freakin god send. Might want to avoid putting them in the dryer though, just air dry them. The lightweight ones are like normal socks in density/thickness, and i know it doesn't make sense, but they absolutely do not make your feet over heat in the summer time, despite being wool. Their are just better for your feet, antimicrobial, i've worn them 3 and 4 days in a row and my feet still didn't get nearly as gross as wearing cotton socks. Their expensive, but they are worth it, and they are durable.

[@BigSlamMan2333]

Ever since I read your blog post on recce rifles, I've hoped for something like this. Thank you all so much!

[@feralhiker6816]

Im doing an invasion of iraq (2003) us loadout with ccu in three colour desert. Btw i only have a woodland field near me so this is an awful idea

[@Olson323]

so?

[@upstate-settlers]

Yeah but you'll look sick

[@MG-wi1eq]

South African Defense Force That would be sick man. I'm personally doing the first gulf war loadout (1991) with the night desert parka and ALICE gear.

[@applejackhonesty1960]

Why dont you wear a woodland mop suit? Even though that's like the 90's

[@ahandgrenade3640]

I haven't got into playing airsoft yet but i want to and i really like the idea of doing a private security/pmc loadout because for the way i have it planned out i won't need that much.

[@engagetactical9173]

Thanks for the shoutout, guys. I hope that gear keeps serving you well. Praise Judy.

[@MG-wi1eq]

I run ALICE gear with my desert storm recce kit. Looks cool. Great vid guys.

[@MG-wi1eq]

ArmchairWarrior I meant LC-2 system.

[@MG-wi1eq]

ArmchairWarrior ALICE was still in use by some people in the U.S. military during up until the 90s.

[@MG-wi1eq]

ArmchairWarrior ALICE is just the general name for the gear and it stands for All purpose lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment. LC-2 is just a modernized twist to the ALICE system but it's essentially the same concept.

[@stefanochisor808]

This is my best airsoft channel and I would like to enjoy a cold beer with you guys, greetings from far away, Romania.

[@Jefduro1]

Great Info, thank you! I've been using a HPG Tarahumura for years now and it is the most versatile light pack ever. You might want to check out the Tarainsert, it' a light molle insert that adds a little rigidity to the pack and also allows for both molle and velcro pouch attachments for some simple small gear organization.

[@tristar-tinker_3706]

QOTSA hat is a good touch

[@JohnGreyman]

Man Candy. So my Rece rifle is a Krytac SPR. R hopped Promie barrel, max hop up, grip pod, magpul convertible sling, and burris 2x7 pistol scope. The pistol scope give a great amount of eye relief. 8 mags, 1 in the rifle and 4 in my chest rig, 3 on my belt. I don't carry my oden, makes to much noise. I carry my pistol mags in my HSP chest rig. I run belt keepers and rothco combat suspenders. Keeps the weight off my thighs. I carry a multi tool and a 6x magnifier I use as a monocular for spotting at further distances and because the eye picks up movement. If your crouched its less of a visual foot print than swinging the rifle.

[@thedrakonicorder1561]

I always thought I wanted to be a sniper, but this sounds much more my speed

[@lukebrown3390]

My favorite item to bring on recce ops is dumbells. When your sitting in the woods watching your target it's nice to get some gainz in.

[@WolfMan-nf4lv]

Awesome video! I very much enjoyed this topic. I have a Tactical Tailor MOLLE split front chest rig that I was able to snag from a local surplus store a few years back, I've been using for... bout 4 or 5 years now, and it's still in great shape. I gotta get new pouches though cause the ones I do have are just.. shit tier "phantom gear" pouches and they're just... falling apart lmao. I might get a different setup altogether, not entirely sure yet. As far as metal goes, Gojira became one of my favorites after seeing them, Metallica, and Avenged Sevenfold at the same concert last year in August. I'll be checking out the bands you guys mentioned as well.

[@pingaseggman7586]

I guess you can say cory's in the "e"-house?

[@manythanks6586]

Jarod Willier Is that a fanfic?

[@drumunkey007]

I've been using the Titan batteries and they're great man. Not as high a rate of fire as lipo's but they're really good. Twice as long of a runtime and the don't lose charge over time of no use.

[@AndrewStonerock]

Recon is my go to, I will carry a plate carrier depending on ops. 6 120 round mid caps for my M4, plus my hi capa side arm with 3 mags on the belt. No dump pouch because I'd rather index the mags then let them rattle around in the dump.

[@MG-wi1eq]

As for comms I use a Czechoslovakian field phone with about 800 ft of comm wire. I just leave one phone at our main base and I take the other with me behind enemy lines and set it up to make a hasty f.o.b. to operate and fall back to to get info out to our hq. I also leave ammo cans with co2 and bbs in the f.o.b. too.

[@BlackWolfessUSCM]

I ran a plate carrier for one game, sold it right after. I don't like how they feel, I dont like the bulk, it sucks on summer days, I swapped out my grenadier kit to a Condor MCR-4 with the 242 Hydro pack and I'm lighter and I'm faster. Also not too bad when I need ot run a 3 day pack either.

[@teamusmc1]

Hell yeah signs of the swarm shirt is sick!

[@PETITWINKIE]

That was a great video again, i've been looking for something like that for years, thank you so much ! Greatings from France.

[@CorruptedCoreGaming]

Yo you were on the Ridge? I wish I knew that I have a revolver that I carry around at stuff like that specifically to get signed by guys like you! I guess I'll just have to wait till next year and try to catch you then!

[@12scot-koreanlikeinskittle25]

So what do the rest of you guys feel the ranges are for Rifleman, DMR and sniper's now? For those of us that are veterans I think the magic number was 200ft. If you had a rifle that was effective out to 200ft that was an exceptional rifleman and borderline DMR. DMR occupied that gap between 200-250 ft and sniper's were 200ft plus. Nowadays rookies have the luxury of stock weapons being able to make shots at 150-200ft. Its crazy....as sidearms can shoot 150ft and more as well. Your other video about upgrading was spot on. Value wise it is totally worth it to make the initial upgrades that can get most weapons to that magical 200ft range. But then you do run into diminishing returns after basic upgrades(barrel,hopup and bucking). 150.00 gets you way more initially than the following 200.00 that you sink in to your build for an additional 20-40ft

[@d.f.9140]

thanks for your honest description on reckons loadout. my friend and I are planning our gear for a wide spectrum of game modes and low profile, minimal weight, maximal use etc. are the keywords. U even made a point for my ammo problem and storage, because u know in germany (Bundeswehr) its 4 mags, 1 in the gun, 3 outside so 3 for u and 1 for the platoon (just in case), everyone is wearing. Taking in consideration that we will use low or (think we end up with mids), proofs our thoughts pretty damn right and the mentioned speedloader seems the answer to keep this running, without using highcaps and its flaws.

[@Rennfahrer555]

This is really good info guys -- fellow Connecticut dude living down in Texas now - chronic lyme disease is now fucking joke - go full deet and listen to these guys they know what theyre talking about

[@2zioom]

Great video, but I would also recomend carrying a bright collored high visibility panel in your pants. They weight next to nothing but may save your life if something happens and you need to signal the rescue crew. Reflective vests work good as well and you can comfortably wear them as a dead rag

[@natedog45678]

For my Reece kit I use the TT mk2 chest rig on the left pocket I have 1L of water and on the right pocket i have a 5x7 walmart tarp that packs down to nothing that I've painted and sprayed with silicone with pre set ridge line as well as my comms set up a compass and a flashlight red lense of course. In my fanny I keep my phone in a zip lock and another cliff bar with a water purification pill.

[@holyphoenix508]

You all mentioned that since this is airsoft, it doesn't really matter what gun you use for a recce kit. However, to stay withing the spirit of a recce loadout, what are your opinions on a rifle like the vfc hk416a5 or the krytac mk36m (updated m14) that will be hopefully coming out sometime in the near future.

[@AnthonyHung1992]

Hot rifles, I totally dig the tan with black vtac setup Eric's got.

[@jessiewasson584]

Just FYI in the army/marine infantry like real life you do “recce” so keep in mind if you play the part do the part

[@f0xgod56]

love the signs of the swarm and fit for an autopsy shirts. lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@Diles46]

Amazing facial hair, gents! A++

[@vivelaresistance2526]

2020 has it's eyes on you.

[@josephmcandrew7937]

Woah GZA? I hope I see you there man that's my favorite local field

[@Mythic2827]

Brilliant overview man :D

[@Ryan-Fury-Feighery]

GZA is my local Field out here in CT would love to run into the GG guys one day! 💯👌

[@ECG_Le]

Ahhh E house always has a good taste in liquor and kit

[@jacobcormier4340]

I am all for the signs of the swarm and fit for an autopsy tees

[@QCGaming]

i really enjoy your guys channel. i really hope that my channel gets this level of recognition one day, i really like airsoft and i enjoy talking to people about the sport and helping people where ever i can,

[@Instinct3000x]

Just watching the window. It got dark quick. Long video lmfao

[@GAandy]

SMARTWOOL socks. Been wearing them since Iraq, 2004.

[@jasoffical24]

GAandy since 2004? I usually change mine everyday

[@GAandy]

@@jasoffical24 , they are just so comfortable. ....lol.

[@ColdWaterRegrets]

I just picked up a DC3R heavy

[@MikaelJSandersson]

Nice! But why no first aid kit stuff? BTW: I'm starting to understand why I shouldn't have bought a full size plate carrier... Putting a battle belt setup together now instead. :)

[@ehouse2326]

I often keep a Dark Angel Medical Pocket DARK kit in my BDUs. I forgot to mention or break it out.

[@MikaelJSandersson]

Hey, good idea. Maybe I can relocate mine. Thanks for the tip!

[@doggie7602]

Both, you need both )

[@MikaelJSandersson]

Yeah of course. Funny thing is that when I started out a few weeks ago I went and bought a loot of stuff and put everything on my PC. For every game I've attended since then I've taken things off of it. :D

[@MikaelJSandersson]

But if I'll go to a milsim or something I'll for sure wear it and keep all the stuff on it. But for skirmish, nah.

[@shawnlawless4902]

I have an umbrella armory krytac spr m recce and I go to ground zero the gun is insanely accurate and it has a good overall ability to go in all ranges

[@flameairsoft8281]

For boots get saloman boots!. I went hiking in them and they let nothing in!

[@jeepinbanditrider]

I'm diggin that chest rig very nice. Do ya'll have an online store?

[@superiorflannel9063]

Everybody is watching Garand thumb lol I love that channel

[@chaosgrunt9554]

Wanna know what's better for laying prone? Mags on the side of your body. Loves me the russian Smersh vest. So much better for recon.

[@FlankerJackChannel]

See the combat tracker article from ITS Tactical. That's my go-to resource for recce/ tracking setups.

[@hector_2999]

QOTSA rocks!

[@coryzuhlsdorf3770]

Luis Héctor Parra DeLaRoche yes they do!

[@joc4962]

That mustache is awesome!!! Let’s go Recon !!! 11b wishes they were 19D

[@joc4962]

MemoryDecipheR never a former 19D we all meet at fiddlers

[@bryanwayne8385]

Immediately liked because of Cory’s shirt!

[@gaabetzagooga5954]

damn, ive been running one of these without knowing it had a name, until now ive been calling it a "light dmr scout" lol

[@Jbeaner27]

GZA my home field🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 ride that takes line

[@KeithNWHC]

Well done video guys!

[@davidekstrom9595]

I enjoy your passion.

[@New2Kendo]

Troy sights difficult to adjust? Use a bullet tip or dedicated tool, I have never had an issue adjusting Troy sights

[@Doc_Vega]

Nice setups, but what’s the point of playing milsim if you have an nearly unlimited supply of ammo? Besides from the sound these speedloaders make, it’s more fun if they are not allowed. Ammo cap is the way to go.

[@pomeroy7]

Great video and advice. Thanks

[@travis4755]

Heyo that light looks familiar Cory lol

[@arunkassel6754]

Digging the shirts guys

[@Matias-dr3ys]

its cool seeing it turn dark outside in the window.

[@hector_2999]

I'd like more info on Corey's back pack.

[@coryzuhlsdorf3770]

Luis Héctor Parra DeLaRoche don't worry, there will be a review on it. Just putting it through it's paces first.

[@hector_2999]

Cory Gun Gamers thanks man.

[@coryzuhlsdorf3770]

We just filmed the review yesterday!

[@seal1731]

recce kit best kit

[@scorpionleader424]

Rpk 47 can be modified as recce rifle. I love recce rifles.

[@wiskeywiskey0365]

Would a good pair of binoculars be too much for recce?

[@ronniegibbard8158]

Awesome vid could a modifies mp5 full this role in you opinion?

[@pastelpinnacle3955]

Recce is just forest hiking with guns (which is why I want to do it).

[@ewokshoterz]

Come to GZA more!

[@kc2tbag]

You need amateur radio license for that radio

[@ruskiepanda]

i use a ghk ak with my recce kit with flipable magified reddot

[@chuck4989]

Top notch content ... I love it

[@silaboop]

Deathcore boooiiiiiiiss

[@intial_j4611]

Where can I buy Cory's rig it looks sick

[@johnwis23]

Mk12

[@chrispetersen4863]

Great info, but......DAYUMN!!... it's hard to take someone serious who is sporting the "Ron Swanson" 'stache, an orange shirt and a ballcap like that ;) Grow a baby Operator beard like E. House and your cred will multiply! (Teasin btw... Great vid as always!)

[@Olson323]

Disregarding that moustache is last mistake you could make!

[@coryzuhlsdorf3770]

I often sport the beard but for special occasions, national ops, I unleash the mustache.

[@chrispetersen4863]

In all honesty, it IS epic! I was just ribbing ya!

[@mikeaustin9316]

Wool has a chemical reaction with water that produces warmth

[@Skankhunt-iz1ud]

650 BBs. *Cries in GBBR*

[@gregoberfield]

I see you're using a VHF/UHF radio with the Baofeng. Please make sure to tell folks that you can legally only use those devices on the amateur bands if you have at least a technician license from the FCC.

[@codytheowl8379]

Full Ghillie Suit with super quiet Polarstarred Sr-25. Do you guys see this as a viable and effective way to RECCE or is the fast moving lightweight RECCE almost always superior in the impact it can make on the game?

[@ehouse2326]

Unless you're doing a dedicated sniper role at an event that calls for it, ghillie suits are rarely worth it from my observation. It's usually better to stick with a squad and just have effective camo and solid movement with more breathable equipment. Of course, your mileage may vary, but those are my thoughts.

[@manythanks6586]

Try a head and upper back ghillie, those are the parts the enemy will see, anything more will not only be hot and heavy but also redundant.

[@GhostWarriorsAirsoft]

Fuck yeah death metal!

[@thaKitsune]

could you go in depth about what you should be doing while you recce please?

[@coryzuhlsdorf3770]

Santiago Alfonso observing, reporting, engaging when necessary.

[@thaKitsune]

Thank you lovely sr ! , now i have it 100% clear :)

[@jimmyan1976]

i do not hear a single word... my eyes are only focused on that Laphroaig bottle in the back....

[@Kurafox_]

if u stare at the window you can watch it get dark outside

"Like 5 miles- so much"

[@bobertmcboberty1385]

Fit for an autopsy! Fuck yeah 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@eyeswideopen2536]

wheres the long haired dude gone

[@toker8433]

Can you put me on your team

[@russbooth6766]

Everyone wants to do recce but their fieldcraft is shit so they gets spotted and their comms is bollocks, seen that a lot.

[@BenjaminWillard71]

Los primeros 10 minutos o más, hablando de las marcadoras, eso es el RECCE o RECON??? Marcadoras para Reconocimiento? Simple: liviana, cómoda y corta. Si hacés las cosas bien, ni la vas a tener que usar, ya que no es la herramienta fundamental para RECON

[@eyeswideopen2536]

use helmet on recce deffo. low branches hurt. trip n fall hit your head whilst wearing your stuff is gonna hurt

[@MG-wi1eq]

bad to the bone PASGT my man.
