The law of guns in movies

[Excalibur]

I remember most of my team that had sidearms had drop leg holsters. I had a 1911 type pistol, but I rarely use it. Eventually, I just stopped carrying it because I never get to pull it out and we usually play outdoors.

Ah, forgot to clarify: It wasn't a drop-leg holster, it was a canvas belt holster. The barrel of the Beretta dug into the side of my hip/thigh whenever I crouched or squatted. I later got a thigh holster instead, which was better, but I still got annoyed at the way the gun bounced around so much (because I had very thin legs back then).

Like you, I eventually decided sidearms were unnecessary for skirmishes. I died too quickly, plus not carrying a sidearm meant I could carry more mags for the M16A2.

I could afford 2 primaries so I can switch around. Running around with an M4 got boring, so I had a HK51. It was built from a fictional Airsoft G3 called the SAS. I gave it a solid stock to store a large battery with a vertical grip and red dot sight. Had a longer inner barrel, so I attached a suppressor to make it look cooler.

I also had a M14 on an EBR chasis. I only had that for a few months before selling it. That thing's heavy.

I also had a TM MP5 (my first AEG ever), which I used pretty frequently. The M16A2 was my favorite, though.

I wanted to get an MP5, but didn't save money for it. I wanted a more compact rifle instead of the M16. The leader of my airsoft group had an M16 with the heat shield, M203 and swapped the stock with a crane stock and added an ACOG. A real ACOG. We called it "The Beast" because it is the biggest gun on the team. One time another guy had the L86 and he was our SAW guy for awhile.

We actually had procedures for using our M203s because there are rules for shooting those off in skirmishes. Otherwise, anyone with a grenade launcher, could spray a volley and randomly hit somebody. Of all the teams in Indiana, we were considered the most "professional" mostly because our team leader was a foreign student and he was a former British Paratrooper. So we got crash courses in British military tactics

Guys with TMPs or TMP look-a-likes get fucked up in some Michael Mann movies like Heat and Collateral. In Heat, the guy with the TMP gets crushed with a car and shot in the chest with a 7.62x51. In Collateral, Tom Cruise lays the guy out with 6 or 7 rounds. It's hilarious

In Micheal Mann movies, the main characters always wear awesome expensive suits to hide their equally awesome guns
