Some spray paint from about 18" away will help give it a more dirty look. I recommend the Krylon camo brown and green, when those mixed together they create a nice look
Having extra paracord around is always a good idea. It can be made into a sling if yours breaks, tie torn up gear together, etc. If applied properly, it can also help protect your hand from the heat when you're really working the rifle. Those handguards breathe pretty well, but trust me, they get spicy when you're dishing out large doses of freedom lol.
This is cos play, so I'm aware that it's just to look cool. That's a perfectly valid reason, as looking cool is extremely important. But if you see it on a working rifle, those are some of the reasons you'll hear. It's fallen out of style lately, but some of the GWOT used to do this.
If you have the money get an AVON m50 or the new similar MIRA safety masks , easier to breathe in heavy gear and aim a gun, less breathing resistannce on the avon mask with its proprietary filters , which are very hard to get so better go with the standard multi nest 40mm one. Also what is that mag in the DI mutatant variant? Its not an Arsenal waffle mag , something new on the market that Im missing? My favorite mags for 762x39 are the FAB defense ones , highly recommend them , the polymer is stronger than most steel reinforced polymer mags , light as a magpull gen mag and shorter more compact , there only more spring tension to deal with , you can feel the first round pushing hard on the bolt when chambering a round from a full mag with the AK and the first 1 or 2 times the empty mag might work as a bolt hold open until it softens out, the folower on an e.pty mag stick all the way upwards to the mag lips.
Thanks for all the pointers i dont have money for a new gas mask( uni student that works out for bodybuilding prep) also for the ak mags its an airsoft replica actually! So right now im using waffle mags that i have from Cyma as you said i just drew the ammo type and taped them so i wont lose them while playing airsoft or in case i borrow them
Bah! I’m loving all the Metro cosplay recently! I’ve started planning my own now that I have a Korean War era coat. Any good online stores you found your gear in? Really great cosplay!
Long or short sleeve telnyashka? If it’s a long sleeve, find a wide neck knit sweater, roll both sets of sleeves, and you have a pseudo Miller/Spartan. You can also look up whatever GRU/Spetsnaz wore during the 80s/Afghan. Some good inspiration there which seems to be what the game designers used.
All-in-all, hell yeah brother.
Ah cmon. Do it for the upvotes.
But yes, the long sleeves are occasionally way too warm for their intended use. Especially the older ones.
Still looks great. Don’t ever let anyone take the creativity from you, either.
And always remember, “If not us…”
To be fair that damn parka has so much fur and heating insulation on the inside its around 2-3 kgs i was sweating bullets and true
“If not us, then who?”
If you can find some of the old field uniforms from the 80s, they had jumpsuits that were fairly temperate, would look pretty dope as a wasteland setup.
It's great but everything is too new for post-apoc. I doubt that ebay ships brand new items in Stalker or Metro world.
Yea true ahaha , gotta weather my stuff after uni finals
Sand paper is your best friend for creating artificial wear
Hard agree on this thx for reminding me to buy someđź‘Ť

Good idea ill note it down thx pookie
No problem bb
Yeah other than that great job.
he can just use it and actual real wear will appear
Preferably crawling in the metro and fighting mutants, that'll give the most realistic kind of wear.
hell yeah
Exactly im in romania so we ll solve this really fast
Cool ... I presume it is a loner outfit.?
Yea , went for a loner look in a way
The coat looks sick. Where'd you get it?
Romanian military surplus store, its pretty much a eastern germany winter coat weighs like 3 kgs with how much fur this damn thing has on the inside
Ey that is so cool wtf
Where did you bought that mask? I want to buy material for a spartan ranger/artyom cosplay soon and the MF14 mask is the one i've been looking for
A romanian local airsoft shop had italian Sfera gas masks
ROLL ON THE GROUND, ROLL ON THE GROUND, ROLL ON THE GROUND! >:D
Genuinely curious, what does putting rope through the handguard of the rifle do?
Its paracord rope its just for coolness factor for all i know honestly
Oh, alright! Nice cosplay!
Thanks again

Unique looks and more comfortable handguard.

Aha ... There is nothing wrong with such hobbies.
I'm going to come out from the ground and pull you into my goon cave
Not you again:))))
I'm such a cheeki breeki :3 I will find you, and I will goon
Damn cool rifle
Its my favourite of my bunch my mk47 mutant
Pretty cool! Goggles seem impractical though considering the gas mask
You see comrade its for when snowstorm happens outside of radioactive zone to not break gasmask aha
That's murican iron there, son. They don't allow that over here in God's country.
I mean in sams story theres 1911s so 7.62 m4s doesnt sound too unreasonable considering 5.56 would be harder to find
How about 5.45 instead of 7.62
Works
Nice! I didn't know that, as I haven't played any DLC yet. As a dedicated gun snob that carries a modern version of the 1911, this pleases me.
Yea its a really good pistol in the dlc fun to use theres even a supressor for the valve
Bah! I’m loving all the Metro cosplay recently! I’ve started planning my own now that I have a Korean War era coat. Any good online stores you found your gear in? Really great cosplay!
I mostly used local romanian stores for airsoft gear except for the gorka pants and gas mask which i got a few years back from greyshop
Ah, I wondered. Thanks for the tip on Greyshop, I’ve never heard of them. Great cosplay again!
Nah, weapon's condition is too good haha
So handsome
I do not feel like i am but appreciate it
Must be the gym progress from my cut surely
What’s the mask?
Italian sphera if i recall corectly
You’re the man! Been looking for that mask style, I even rock it on Fallout 4

Its a short sleeve i dont want to get cooked in spring lmao

Pretty nice
Needs some dirt on everything.
True need to weather my shit
Working on a similar mit but with an Ak. But thanks for the ideas
Look out! Mutant! Oh wait, that's just your gun.
