Honestly yes, I'm something of a HEMA enthusiast so I'm getting a huge kick out of this.
I can't help but imagine getting a bb to the helmet would make a bell ringing sound, but I imagine it would be dampened by the padding underneath.
That said, wear some eyepro underneath. No telling when a bb will slip in through the helmet visor.
I used to wear a tin helmet whenever I went out, big helmet enthusiast when I was first starting airsoft. Doesn't hurt the ears, you here the ping, that's it!
You should 100% find or make an Airsoft version of an Arquebus or Handbüchse.
Or use foam bolts on handbows.
If you can pull that off, you'd have the undisputed most based kit in all of Airsoft.
The latter would be the accurate choice. If you had to date the kit, it would be in the mid 1300s. Or well somekind of cross bow.
Arquebus really only comes around by the late 1400s.
Actually working on a late 1500s / early 1600s harquebusier / Black Rider kit right now.
Started out as a cuirssir so I already got the helmlet and tested it last year.

That would be roughly the rest of the armour

Just say I got problems getting my hand on it. The indian manufacture that was iinside my budget .. well product does not match the description and quality issues. And I ain´t dropping 5k on a costum suit while still in uni.
So it is the lighter brother for which you can buy off the shelf stuff.

This exactly but I use a buffcoat underneath instead of chainmal.
Also I somewhat solved the gun problem.
There are stls by Carny Rex for Wheellock guns. While these are intended for nerfs, I somewhat remodeled it to take 11mm balls. Current run is fully plastic but the second will be with wood fillament and well, painted metal parts. Still cartoony but it works.
[https://imgur.com/a/V2muV19](https://imgur.com/a/V2muV19)
For context that thing is the size of a P90 ...
Second run will than be the carbine version, (stock and longer barrel)

I honestly want to make something like this as a kit.
Everything is acceptable, so long as you have good eye pro.
I like seeing variety out there, so thumbs up. The only problem I see is that an airsoft gun would look a little out of place.
Not sure if you're interested, but if you want to put some of that armor to actual use, there is a hobby called the Society for Creative Anachronism, where you can wear some of that armor(based on the photos there are a few things youll still need) and actually fight in combat in it(with sword and shield).
Actually I wanted to go as a Roman centurion with an AK-47 to cosplay this meme:

You need to show up to one of those uptight MILSIM groups in this gear. They will all shit themselves. Steam will literally shoot out of their ears! They will be pissed for WEEKS! DEWIT!
I'm picturing a scenario where you're larping with your friends and keep getting disturbed by a nearby airsoft game.. so you freight train the closest player off his feet in full body armor, just classic cartoon shoes in the air, pick up his battle rifle, shout "FOR HIS MAJESTY!" And proceed to decimate the field with an angry mob of medieval ass-kicking behind you
The best one so far.
The only kit that can beat this is a normal proportional juggernaut, usually when people try to make a juggernaut kit they end up having their helmet being twice bigger than their head and it looks goofy. So if someone makes an incredibly good looking juggernaut consume they’ll probably win in coolness contest
Yes. But remember to have the most modern, biggest airtank having hpa system on the field for your breach loading musket. Otherwise it will look out of place..

good minimal earpros and eyewear and you're set. can't imaging the ringing inside that helmet if a grenade goes off or you just get plain showered by an mg

It's the KTW Tanegashima airsoft matchlock. Probably the only commercialized airsoft arquebus out there.

It's rare to see people actually using the an94 instead of a basic ak
It's an interesting firearm.
Interesting but ain't very popular, probably because making an expensive and complex firearm is an american thing, russians like simple and reliable
Ehh even for the Americans. Complex weapons means more expensive to mass produce and more training which costs time and money
What american firearm is complex? 🧐
Just google the advanced combat rifle program
And an expensive one to even produce. I think there is actually only one made. Lol. You should research it. It has a reciprocating barrel in it
let alone a frigging knight wielding one!
That AN-94 goes hard in this picture
God wills it!

I took me a second or two to realize this wasn't a harnischfechten question on r/wma.

Would 100% be down, I’m open to a dm
At least you can’t be zombie player. I like it.
Bluds going for the Curta’n Wall fit
You will only be able to feel real guns
If you call your hits then yeah
I was gonna say no until I saw the Sperry’s
Its only a flesh wound
I’ve had worse.
You liar!
As long as your running a LMG or MMG and not a featherweight but a hefty gun worthy to be held aloft by your armored self

You look like you parry
By Jove what a glorious armour, your enemies are certain to quiver with fear
Absolutely just remember to run if you see a bunny.
100/100

Matchlock gbbr
You just need the right melee
I demand to know where you go each peice of this...
I approved.
Ever get knicks or dings from Airsoft pellets? It looks high quality but seems possible.
Needs blicky, preferably swaggersouls wood 870
The fear I’d feel hearing the sound of jingling chain metal approaching rapidly
Instead of callin hit, just keep advancing sayin, 'Tis but a scratch....
https://preview.redd.it/ys6dbcubz5uc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c236dc79eb52cdd82e5cdcbf6db3ff66efeb847f
If you like it and it’s safe. Go for it bro
I mean, you’re forced to call your hits
Deus Vult, Infidel
I think that’s a rhetorical question. Of course that’s an awesome kit! You can be the Juggernaut!
BEST KIT EVER
W kit
Definitely embraces the larp
Plink!
maybe for HEMA or Buhurt, airsoft though...
You art most definitely flexing on thine haters.
Best kit
Absolutely 10000000/10
You might want to ditch the mail and just have the padded gabeson and get a breastplate, those are pretty small pellets
I like how the socks imitate sabatons.
The most acceptable.
Handgonne kit
Best kit
Need a patch that says parry this you filthy casual
I already saw people wearing armour and swords for airsoft, they actually got one kill at the end of the day
Not the shoes. Need to be leather socks.
A field near me has a few swords on deck in case anyone wants to crusade so I’d say send it
This fellow beds maidens.
The best one so far. The only kit that can beat this is a normal proportional juggernaut, usually when people try to make a juggernaut kit they end up having their helmet being twice bigger than their head and it looks goofy. So if someone makes an incredibly good looking juggernaut consume they’ll probably win in coolness contest
You should field a siege cannon that launches 2kg plastic BBs tbh
Hell yeah, brother
Where's your eyepro
Truly an honourable kit
Shoot, I'll be your executive assistant, er squire.
Just need an MG-42 to complete it
Smash, next question
Call you hit. I don't care for the rest. Just don't get NSFW/Nazi/terrorist stuff/insigna.
You win.
you got full seal goggles underneath? SURE NGL i'd love to hear to pinging when the bbs bounce off you
Honest question: would an eye shot get stuck in the slit or go through and hit your eye?
I mean.... It's affective
Yes. But remember to have the most modern, biggest airtank having hpa system on the field for your breach loading musket. Otherwise it will look out of place..
Dude has armor for hundreds of dollars but not the proper shoes to play airsoft.

Just run at people with a rubber longsword lmfao
God that would be soooo!! Loud 🫣
imo more casual pics living life in full plate
good minimal earpros and eyewear and you're set. can't imaging the ringing inside that helmet if a grenade goes off or you just get plain showered by an mg
I don't see a problem.
Definitely acceptable !
I’d love nothing more than to go to an airsoft field and see a literal knight in shining armor charging at me with a giant nerf battle axe
You'd end up with dents in any of the plate parts and you'd need eyepro under the helmet and it'd be heavy as shit, but otherwise should be good.
Good kit, but you should get some good boots to complete it!
I would say so
Bro is u going to the crusades?
Footwear’s all wrong, no ankle support
Yes.
You done even know how much i envy you rn. I dont have the money for armour but dang do i want a whole suit.
lol we are going to see his pics on Only Knight's
Deus Vult.
You’re gonna hear every time you get hit haha
At least your teammates can use you as a stove top on hot summer days
a little outdated
I was about to comment on your shoes when I realised the sub we are in.
Need better eye pro haha 🤣
Breadboys would be proud
DEUS VULT
Didnt know swaggersouls plays airsoft
This is the best kit. With it you can't hide your hits because the whole field hear them.
It's the only acceptable kit
MUST HAVE BELT FED MACHINE GUN WITH THIS KIT
Blud boutta go into battle with a horse and musket 💀🙏🙏🙏
Would be a good one for a special - you lose mobility to the armour, but can only be melee killed.
Tis the best kit
Where did u get this and how much was it?
Got it from Medieval collectibles, for what I’m wearing in the first picture it’s around $500
Deus Vult
I would say so!
lol🤣
We shalln’t lose Jerusalem
Yes
HELL YEAH BROTHER (just make sure you have eye pro on)
If it is, it's my next investment
Only if u either, only use a sword or use that Japanese sword pistol from one of the world wars
hes a hitter
A serve. Nay, thou slayest
slap some black on that and you can join Ostland
*tinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktinktink*
Yes. Even with jokes aside, I’d love to see gear like this on the field. Just please not on milsims, milsims tend to be strict on kits
Wear eyepro, suffer from the heat and weight, bask in the knowledge that everyone envies you
“Call your fucking hits!!”
Is your main ranged weapon a crossbow
I would want to be on your team for the memes
yes.
10/10 based kit
“I am currently exchanging magazines so that I might smiteth my opp”
The boating shoes finish it off. 10/10
Glorious kit my brother!
Thought I was on the reenactment sub at first as was about to bash you for accuracy but considering that's clearly not what you're going for, it looks cool
Yeah I don’t think boat shoes are very accurate 😭😭
Ye
If you don't call hits... It's fine, mfs in full plate...
This is awesome
If you show up in that I’m running melee only with you
needs bayoneted rifle

Just wait until someone shoots the helmet by your ear
my fellow thy brother, i wear a Saxon armor loadout i will take you on any american field. just tell thy where to fall
Not the sperrys thoooo
Yea it’s the best kit
I will be mad if it isnt
Yes
What gun would this kit use
Something big or old… very very old.
Thy kit is most exquisite
Hell yes it is!
Such a handsome young magn
Yes.
As long as you can get eye pro of some kind under there. I'd say it's cool. Even a bb can slip in the the eye slots or shatter and get in.
Personally it's not very great for stealth in the field but on the bright side there's no way you won't know if you got hit.
Would be better with a speaker constantly playing Last stand from Sabaton.
You’ll certainly know when ur hit
Why do you look like you just finished getting your ass beat in the first picture?
